No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in April

VALM

Hi ladies. I have been to the Trafford Centre today and have some INs.

LE Handwash - need this for work
L'occitane Lavender hand cream - do have other hand creams but I have that awful painful dry patch back on my right palm and the lavender cream is the only one that soothes it.
Lush Mask of Magnamity - got this for Emma really as she has a very spotty back and this is meant to be good for backs
Lush Mint Julep lip scrub - frivolous purchase - have always liked the sound of lip scrubs.

Got a couple of sample sachets from L'Occitane - rose eau de toilette and divine cream.

Was very good I think all things considering. Looked at the OPI Oz colours in JL but resisted. Must be sickening for something.

One more UU : L'Occitane shea butter hand cream 30ml.

More UU

Boots Baby wipes - WBA

I love Mango face pack - WNBA didnt feel it did anything.

Mashooq hair oil treatment - WNBA has left my hair feeling soft but it stank.

Andrea fullerton nail varnish remover - WNBA more expensive than normal ones for the gimmicky pump lid.

Elvive gloss light conditioner - WBA gets rid of my daughters tangles without weighing down her fine hair (works ok on me too). On to my last one now.

Have spent the afternoon cleaning and sorting and have some TA.

Some out of date medicines
a hair dye touch up stick (I havent had that hair colour for at least 5 years)
several sachets of hair remover I would GA but would be afraid it had gone off as it is at least 7 years old (I epilate now)
an empty No7 glycolic acid peel which had somehow evaporated out of a pump container.
A ped egg -(now have a micro pedi) I didnt think however sanitised anyone would appreciate something that had been used to grate my feet!

It's sunny and this weekend's blizzard didn't happen. Just grey and wet.

UU:

Pantene full and thick conditioner 50ml. WBA. Like Pantene products

Dove Visible Care Softening Body Wash 200m. WNBA. Don't like Dove body products, it came as part of a Glossy Box and pretty much every Canadian subscriber felt let down by it because it was in Dollarama the same month for you guessed it a $

Vaseline aloe fresh hydrating body lotion 325 mls. Lots of similar products out there and I don't think they even make this one any longer.

Clinique acne solutions clarifying lotion 100ml. Found it in the boys bathroom cabinet and decided to finish it off. The Acne in our house needed Accutane to control (don't let anybody scare you off of it. Prescribed and monitored by a Dermatologist, it changed my boy's life for the better).

TA:

Proactive Solutions Skin lightening lotion 30ml. Part of a gift box from the TV shopping channel. I think it was the forerunner to creams for sun spots. Smelt foul and tossed the last inch of it.

Two nearly dones on the counter and I'm working my way through mini bottles of shampoo. Tend to keep the sachets for travelling.

Oh, and I tossed an eyeshadow pallette and one colour pan. I got a pallette in an IPSY box which holds individual pans of stuff. So I moved the remaining colours from the pallette into it because it was smaller.

Cancelled IPSY because it was for much younger girls and too much of their stuff was made in PRC.

Hi Rosemary, do you mind my asking how you got it for postage only? Is there a list of the freebies they have?

Hope your foot gets better soon Rosemary.

Another UU - hooray!!

58: Fcuk Pure Showerscrub 200ml - bit indifferent towards this really. It was ok but nothing amazing. The scrub stash is finally reducing!! Seems to take me ages to get through body scrubs

Tolteca87

One sample Colgate Interdental out WBA. Did seem to help.
One sample Yardley perfume in. Will sample it when my sense of smell is fully functional again post the bronchitis from hell.

aimme13 - I am using a tin of Steamcream as a night cream at the moment, it is very light on the skin but a bit greasy if that makes sense, I have combination skin and I think it is supposed to be very good for dry skin and eczema. There is no way I could wear makeup over the top of it.

Have a uu

Mirenesse mascara - I think this came in a LIB box and I hated it. WNBA, it was very dry and hard to apply and didn't have much effect either, it was easy to remove but that is the only good thing I have to say.

Josslette

One UU to report

S&G Flake Away Body Scrub - Really like this stuff, very effective and love the smell. Have another one in the stash, WBA!
