  • UU Naked detox shampoo - got plenty of shampoo so do not need to buy any more at the moment
  • Hope everyone enduring the snow is okay. None in London at the mo thankfully but it's absolutely freezing!

    I was pretty good this month, until Saturday - succumbed to the free Soap & Glory body butter offer in Boots. I now have 2 INs - the Body Butter (Butter Up) and a Sugar Crush body wash. The other product I got was a S&G shower cap which I've wanted for a while.

    Few In's I'm afraid.
    3 cans of dove deodrant- this is a HG of mine and was on offer in boots.
    A pack of replacement blades for a new gilette razor I've been testing for supersavvy me. Really got on with it and these were £8 in Asda but £11 in boots so good offer really.
    A box of hair dye- havnt dyed it for about 18 months so trying to get it nice in run up to wedding.
    A bottle of Skinetica anti blemish stuff- got this in GB and loved it so bought full size.

    A few UU's.
    A dove deodrant- a HG and have already repurchased.
    3 sachets of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, think these were either from magazines or glossybox. Just trying to use them up to be honest.

    Managed to fill my basket on ELF last night and delete it and resisted a trip to Boots today so money saved there.
    April £5 a day challenge- £15.05/£150

    Just when I'd thought the snow had gone, here it is again with gusto!! Ruined our weekend plans a little and am hoping it will all be gone by the weekend and some sun will be out instead!

    Have been catching up on the thread and read few the HG lists - then remembered I hadnt done mine, not that's its that exciting but still it's nice to see some of my HGs are the same as others and seen a few things I've got on my wishlist to try (once stash has gone ofc!).

    Shampoo and Conditioner - I have really dry hair and nothing has ever really stood out as being amazing as generally using argan oil afterwards tends to be the real softener but I do like the Bumble and Bumble range: Gentle, Deeep and the sunday shampoo which I do use once a week (sometimes on a saturday!!).

    Other hair products - Argan Oil (not sure on make but its in a little brown bottle from B**ts).

    Cleanser - LE C&P is my current HG but I do have an EH in mu stash to try so it could change

    Toner - LE Instant Boost Skin Tonic, not sure it's the best out there as tbh it's the only one I've really tried but I love the scent of it, possibly more so then any actual effect it has on skin!

    Moisturiser: it was LE superskin (I have very dry skin) but have just this week started using elemis PCMC which smells lovely and seems to be doing a good job so it's now my HG but will only buy when on offer as ouch the price! so might keep a pot of LE as back up incase I run out

    Exfoliator - Just use a LE one, havent really tried many but it does the job and doesnt leave me red faced afterwards

    Mask - Ren gylocative, smells gorgeous and love my soft skin afterwards but I've run out and have an elemis papaya one to try so who knows. Oh but I do also love the Origins drink up night mask, again smells lovely and skin feels pump in the morning.

    Shower gel - I do tend to prefer a good old bar of soap, especially one with scrubby bits in it, I love the sanctuary one or a lush one (sexy peel, any really!)

    Body lotions - I generally use TBS butters, I really like the vit e one I've currently got on the go

    Hand Cream - L'Occitane shea

    Body Scrub - S&G breakfast scrub or sugar crush

    Make up - dont really use/have that much but

    Concealer/Eye lid primer - whatevers going
    Primer - dont use!
    Foundation - LE mineral powder
    Mascara - Clinique Lash Power
    Lip Gloss - Lancome or Clarins
    Eye Liner - dont use
    Nali Lacquer - Zoya
    No buying un-necessary toiletries challenge - Start total: 235. Current total: 273!!

    Another OUT - Dove roll on deordorant VBA reasonably cheap and I find it works well. :D
    Feeling rather smug, on the grabbit board there's a thread about M&S knickers for 50p so thought I'd get some of them, there's another thread about a glitch in M&S Extracts toiletries, had a whole lot in my basket :o and then deleted them all :A
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

  • Hello all :wave:. Some snow here but not too much thankfully. Absolutely freezing though which is not good - fell over on the drive this morning brushing the snow off my car so now have a bruised leg.

    Have been lurking this week as v busy but have managed to press on with the UUs:

    Gatineau melatogenine future plus - I like Gat moisturisers but still think PCMC is my HG. Have just started a 75ml tube of Gat melatogenine so suspect that this will be the LHJ of all LHJs...Using it in the morning and trying to UU an Elem SOS cream in the evening as this has been lurking in the bathroom for a while now.

    Percy & reed seriously silky shampoo - freebie from last years Glamour. WNBA and haven't bothered with the offer this year as I don't care for the smell and it didn't do much for my hair

    Bare Minerals eye colour - High Style - a good all over eye lid colour. However, have absolutely no need for any eye shadows so won't be re-purchasing.

    Was it Lush's Snake Oil treatment?
    Not that I should be promoting Lush after the leaflet debacle...

    It might have been this, I remember it was an oil... I will have a nosey when I'm next near Lush. Maybe I can nosey at their latest campaign while I'm in :rotfl:
    E45 shampoo?

    I don't think it was this, but I'll bear it in mind as an option! I forget they do things like shampoo.

    I might try rubbing in some argan oil. It makes my hair quite heavy so I hardly use it, but it won't matter if I do it before bed!
