    A UU in the shower this morning, Trevor Sorbie Straightening Addict Shampoo - WBA, although I think its called something slightly different now with new packaging. I've tried quite a few Trevor Sorbie products now and been impressed with them all. I particularly like the volume range.

    Our new shops are opening tomorrow, v excited although I'll be window shopping only at the moment!!!

    3. Lush enchanter bath bomb - I loaded up on this as it's my favourite and it's soon to be discontinued, I have 3 more and thinking of getting a few more soon
    Have you tried it with brightside bubble bar they go really well together.


    This week so far:
    UU- Sainsburys basic hair conditioner the WNBA I found this too light for my hair but great for shaving legs.
    UU so white bath ballistic WBA
    Binned- DHC deep cleansing oil (15ml left) WNBA just could not get on with it and it's been sitting in the bathroom for months and I was never going to finish it.

    Still sorting things to be GA so will have several out the house by the weekend.

    First UU for March

    50ml Elemis Quiet Mind Bath Elixir. I have a full size of this I have kept for myself, usually give most of the bath/shower products as gifts when I buy the sets for the PCMC, as I still have quite a few nice things that have been gifted to me.

    Hi all :)

    I missed the end of last months thread as I had my friends hen weekend, which i had organised! And I was also really busy at work...

    A few UU's to report:
    Body Shop Cassis Rose Shower Gel Mini, WNBA the scent didn't do much for me, left what was remaining in the hotel :rotfl:
    A travel size black tea shampoo that I got from a previous hotel stay, the bottle cracked so had to leave this too!
    Next Mini body butter, WNBA it was nice enough but nothing special and have so many more to get through :rotfl:
    Etat Pur sample of light moisturiser WMBA have another from their range to try first.
    Naked Detoxifying Shampoo, WNBA too harsh for my scalp.

    Have a few splutterers so will have more UU's in the next few days
    Addicted to MSE, I can't resist a bargain ;)

    Aaargh I've just joined this thread with every intention of being good, when someone told me about the Everything £5 website.

    My bills go out around this time, plus I need to buy my daughter some items. I'm trying not to look! :rotfl:

    Molton Brown Thai Vert handcream - this has been in the kitchen for ages and dates back to when the Q used to sell MB :o. WNBA as I found it a bit thin - L'Occ handcreams are always my handcream of choice now. This was a 300ml size - still have a couple of 100ml MB handcreams to finish off. Still, the fact that it has now become a UU is what I would call a bugle moment...

    I still love the MB ones. My favourite though is White Mulberry. Like you say it lasts ages and I love the consistency as well for a pump lotion.

    I've come online to catch up before I leave for work - going in early again - and wanted to report another UU: Elemis Lime and Ginger hand lotion. I brought this home from work as the product was no longer pumping out of the bottle so I've cut it open to use the last up. I think it was on the turn as the consistency had gone gel like and "blobby". Have used it as a body moisturiser over the last couple of days. WIBA? Maybe, though my first chance (as above) would be MB.

    Did you like this maddiemay? I am really impressed with how soft it makes my skin. And MrM commented that it made his skin soft as well. I may have created a monster and steered him away from his beloved Radox.

    Have a good day everyone. xx
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
