No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in April

KT2802

Good luck to people with exams. I can sympathise as I have upcoming exams and essay deadlines:(

Very annoying about loan texts Rosemary - can you ring your network provider to ask them about blocking the texts? I occasionally get those texts myself. Have never text back to say stop either as I imagine that they would probably hassle you more like you say...

Few UUs from me:

54: BS Satsuma Body Lotion mini 60ml
55: Clinique Dramatically different moisturising lotion 30ml
56: S&G Hand Food

Love the BS and S&G Hand Food - probably would buy both again but so much other stuff to use up first.

The Clinique was ok but nothing special IMO

Hope everyone is having a good weekend

Have a couple of ins but no money spent by me.

Heat protector for hair - this is a trial product with no branding information, I have used it this morning and it is nice but I don't know whether I will find out what it is after the trial.

Nivea Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose - this was given to me by a friend as she had bought all three variants and I loved the smell of this so she kindly let me have it.

My MIL bought me a Yankee Candle which she gave me yesterday, they had been on holiday and she saw them and got me a large jar in Lemon Cream, it smells gorgeous, I would love some body products in this scent, just like lemon buttercream.

Also a uu

Molton Brown Yuan Zhi shower gel - 50ml, this was DH's and he liked it but there are other scents he prefers.

Elemis Quartz face mask. Then I will be opening my Decleor Herbal Clay Mask.

What did you think of the quartz mask VALM?

A UU from my daughters bath

A crown shaped pink bubble bath from a xmas gift set - one more left but WNBA as it had no fragrance and minimal bubbles.

Two more UUs to report:

Elvive Shampoo, WBA
Lush Ocean Salt Facial Scrub. WBA. It can be a bit astringent on the skin so I wouldn't use it every day, but I love the way it makes my skin feel so smooth.

Hi moneyless mac. I wouldn't buy it as a singular item. This one I got as GWP last time there was an offer on in JL. I've used it before and really don''t get any wow factor from it. Much prefer the Decleor one.

Morning all, (oops afternoon;-)

has anyone used the steamcream as a facial moisturiser??

I dont have huge amounts of facial moisterisers in my stash and would like to try one of these.........however the 2 things that want to make me try are...
1. the lovely tin:-)
2. The fact they are vegan:-)

been watching some on ebay but not sure if the product is any good?

Hi Everyone,

Not posted for a while as its been a fairly slow month challenge wise and very hectic work wise! I've just caught up - I do have a few things to declare now as follows:

UU:

Palmolive Nourishing Delight Shower Milk - WBA - Nice fragrance that somehow reminds me of dolly mixtures!

Garnier Moisture Match Protect & Glow Moisturiser - WBA and have already replaced, really like this

IN:

Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub - smells lovely!

Burts Bees Super Shiny Conditioner

Various sachets of moisturiser (will count as one IN and one UU once used)

All of the above were from a lovely swap, plus a few other things besides - unfortunately the package that I sent out didn't arrive:( Would seem it might be my own fault as I'd put nail polishes in without realising this might cause an issue. Will redress the balance with another package and this time send it signed for. Think the postman's wife has had some nice little gifts!!

Also IN are Radox Eastern Spirit Shower Gel - needed as Palmolive was spluttering and still none stashed :cool:

Finally, just bought Nivea Daily Essentials Facial Wash Gel x 2 from Tesco as BOGOF and I've had a few more spots than usual lately and feel like I'm missing the foaming cleanser I usually like but refuse to pay full price for! I've also whittled cleansers etc well down so totally justified purchases at only £3.30 ish

Been to the gym today so feeling very :A Trying to distract myself from thinking about work, something happened on Friday and I'm not at all sure how it'll pan out tomorrow - time will tell x

In A!di earlier and noticed that they are now putting SPF's on their creams.
The £3.49 (or 99) Day Creams that match the best selling serums have an SPF of 6, not brilliant but better than nothing, but they also had a cream I've not seen before, in a tube, £1.49 anti - wrinkle day cream with SPF of 15.
Resisted temptation but I'll definitely get that when it's needed.

UU -250 ml Palmolive Naturals Delicate Care Shower Cream with Almond Milk.
WIBA? You bet... This one was 50p in Wilko's c. last Sept, I wish I'd gone on the naughty step for half a dozen.
Gorgeously rich lather, lovely smell and a genuinely moisturising effect on the skin. I would have happily paid 7-8 times the price of this.

Ironically the worst shower gel I've ever used was also the most expensive, £12, some SLS free stuff with herbs in that refused to lather.
Second UU - 5ml sample of Estee Lauder Advanced Time Zone Age Reversing Line/Wrinkle Day Cream SPF 15.
WIBA?
Well, that wee sample was about £6-£10s worth, according to some prices I've seen. I loved using it, but I can think of better things to spend £60 - £100 on. I've got good skin anyway, it kept it feeling good and did no harm.

Just had a shower and finished off 4 more items

Herbal Essences Hello hydration conditioner 400ml - WBA, I haven't found any HE I don't like and this is also a great consistency to use as a shaving gel!
Johnson's Baby Shampoo No more tangles 500ml - Much nicer on my hair than the standard one but very runny, WBA on a glitch though!
Pears Liquid soap 237ml x 2 - WBA, I bought 8 of these on a glitch last year, so I put two into a large bottle to use as shower gel, it's incredibly foamy and non-drying so I would absolutely get this again, the smell is great as well!
