    Just painted my toenails with OPI's Kiss Me On My Tulips and OPI's I Lily Love You over the top. Really love the combination, bright and glittery :)

    Few more UU's.
    7. Another mini bayliss and harding shower gel- WNBA, was a pressy and didnt really lather up.
    8. Montagne Jeunesse chocolate face pack- WNBA, smelt good enough to eat but to be honest skin didnt feel any different and I seem to have loads of face packs to use up.
    9. Small Ted baker body scrub-WBA, was a pressy, nice texture and right size grains.
    10. Small Ted Baker body wash- WNBA, again a pressy, nothing special really.
    11. Sachet of L'oreal shampoo- freebie but would consider buying this if I saw it on offer. Left hair very soft and smelt lovely.

    3 IN's to confess- 2 dove deodrants from my mum who stashed it when on offer- it's the only one I can use without coming out in a rash so she dropped me these off.
    Boots shaving gel because OH is fed up with me using his all the time.
    Recken I'll manage a few more UU before end of month. Have a few items from glossyboxes that I'm not likely to use so may put them on Ebay.
    April £5 a day challenge- £15.05/£150
  • Finally brought home my bag of (17) unwanted toiletries from a work colleague. Its not really stuff I even like or would use normally but it seemed impolite to say no! Even my daughter (7) wasnt really impressed, so I explained 'its the thought that counts' to which she replied 'I bet you wish she never thought of us'.

    Also a toothpaste freebie arrived today.


    UU

    Yet more M&S fruity beauty bath sprinkles - as before WNBA

    Peony & wild orchid bath salts (from the above bag) again WNBA didnt do anything.

    Mini Alpha H microcleanse - WMBA still have a couple of minis to go. I quite like this as its really scrubby but not scratchy if that makes sense.

    And an unexpected UU Clarins instant light brush on perfector - this was OK but it was quite expensive for the result it gave Im sure there are similar products that do the same that are less expensive.
    No more buying toiletries

    Your daughter is a very sharp young lady, Mac!
    Nothing in, and my use lipstick and perfume programme continues apace. I'n amazed at how well the elderly perfume minis have kept. Not one has gone off, just goes to show that protecting from heat and light does really work. They must all be around 10-12 yrs old.
    Confession - one of the lipsticks is c. 20 years old. Has to be.
    Amazingly it's still made by Rimmell tho well over double what I paid for it, unsurprisingly.
    A UU - one of my lovely gifts from a thread mate. A 60 ml BS Strawberry Puree Body Lotion.

    WIB? Not sure. It isn't a lotion really, but a sort of gel, rubs in beautifully, but you have to wait a little while for it to dry as it is very sticky for a short time.
    Leaves a lovely light strawberry aroma and moisturised really well. Not for use if you have to dress in a hurry though. I don't, usually!

    OK just in case anyone is interested but was too shy to ask what I was on about earlier...

    Does anyway fancy some free things for swapsees? ;)

    All full size and unopened, I have (it's a random bag, bear with me):

    Colgate total pump toothpaste plus whitening 100ml
    Mud therapy superdrug aloe vera mud mask tube 75ml
    Hair serum no inhibition fluid gloss 50ml

    All I really need is toner, but lush is nice...and I'll take offers of course.

    Oh, and I used up...

    28 - garnier sample of dull skin moisture match moisturiser. Nice smell, but wouldn't buy it.
    29 - clinique liquid facial soap. I used this twice and my skin went so so dry, I've added it to the handwash pump in the kitchen.WNBA

    Just a note to peeps throwing things away, don't forget about Freecycling, I have got rid of sooooo much stuff this and last year but I hate to think I'm throwing stuff away when it could be useful to someone else, pretty much everything has been picked up by someone else in the area, even really random stuff!

    Just google freecycle and where you live and it should take you to your local group x

    I wouldnt have thought things like nail polish would go on freecycle? I have used it in the past for other things though.
