No Buying Unneccecary Toiletries in May 2013

UU - lush buffy body butter bar. This was given as part of a gift set I received 18 months ago. I wasn't too impressed by the bar, it went on really thick and greasy, and I always had to scrub it off again. It also only lasted about a week - not ideal for a £3 product! WNBA

You lot doing the boots triall for the serum - how are you getting on with it?? I love it and am thrilled theyve given us so much, any ideas what its likely to be when it goes on sale?

i am testing it,was amazed to get 4 tubes!it is so hard to say if things work(esp as trialing beauty bible stuff too:rotfl:think I prefer my clarins serum but wont need to buy any for months!!

saw the foot doc,why does my brain go to mush and forget to ask questions?He is going to give me a cortisone injection tomorrow and says will hurt for two days:(:(:(:(:(AND only 50% chance it will work:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(other options are a/ live with it(2 months now and not getting any better,constant pain,no dancing) or b/ an op to remove nerve....risk of permanent pain!!!!

re Etsy for those who know I am trying to sell jewelry,after me complaining for weeks about no one even looking at my stuff,even I cannot find it,they finally realise they have a problem!!!!one of which is instead of searches for items from Cambridge going to "the" Cambridge of Kin gs fame!they go to a small town in gloucester!!!!!!Not impressed and thought they would refund my fees but no way:(:(:(:(I know it does not mean anyone will look for Cambridge especially but I also could not find things in a UK search and have wasted hours looking:(

they sent me 5 rosemary - Im not sure they arent trying to tell me something - especially with the bold "make sure you massage well into your crows feet" comment as well

Thats rough about your foot - Ive missed a lot of pages cos ive been mental busy, hopefully the injection will work - just remember, it doesnt help 50%, but it DOES help 50% as well - hoepfully you will be one of those !!!

Thanks Maddiemay for the cleansing balm review. I have to be careful as my skin becomes congested very easily and then I get a breakout. There is no doubt in my mind that the EH balm is helping, I have been using twice a day for a week and my skin in improving massively, in the first 2/3 days I had a few little blemishes come to the surface but nothing else yet. I am using it in conjunction with LRP Effacler duo which will also be helping.

I have a uu

Madara eco hands deep moisture hand cream - 25ml - this was in a LIB box some time ago I believe - WNBA, it was nothing special imo. I have replaced it with a mini Elizabeth Arden 8 hour hand cream.

Oh dear it was going well for me this month, but In the last two days I now have 12 IN's and only one UU. Half of them are due to the Boots Max Factor offer - spend £15 or over and get free gift box worth £23 so I bought my HG foundation, Ageless Elixir 2 in 1 foundation + serum and a lipfinity clear topcoat ( will wear this over any lipstick to give nice sheen and not sticky) and got the gift box which contains mini masterpiece max mascara, max effect mini nail polish, colour elixir giant pen stick and max effect mono eye shadow. The colours are all really nice so I am pleased with it.

The other IN's are:
Body Shop pomegranate firming night cream 50ml - fast becoming my HG and saved 50% with recent promo online
Body Shop strawberry body butter 200ml - Glamour comp win !!
Colgate total interdental toothpaste 15ml - freebie
Umberto Giannini flirty curls scrunching jelly 200ml - HG and the current one will be a UU in next day or so
Andrew Collinge Purity hydra-therapy conditioner 250ml - poundland bargain
Imperial leather bewitching blackberry blossom & wild fig bath creme
500ml - on offer for £1 in Tesco - will be shared with DD

My only UU was a sachet of Nivea visage pure & natural regenerating night cream, used whilst waits for the body shop night cream to arrive

I also have L'Occitane order coming from recent glitch so I think that's another 10-12 items to add on, eek. Might give one the gift sets away as a present will see when it arrives.

I have some OUTs to report...but also some INs *the shame*

First the INs, I need to confess, it was a little box of Smashbox trial sizes all nicely packaged and £19...I caved. Wanted to try Smashbox for ages, but really don't need any of it. *blush* 5 INs

19 - TA essie nail polish in a neutral shade that was so old the label had fallen off and the polish was a bit, um, yellow!
20 - TA american apparel clear nail varnish. This was a freebie last year and whenever I use it as a top coat it disolves what's underneath then flakes after a day. WNBA
21 - UU Nivea skin conditioner sample - used in the bath. Classic nivea smell, didn't notice any conditioning effects.
22 - UU body shop strawberry shower gel. Not a big fan of stawberry scents, but lots of bubbles, so quite nice really.
23 - UU Colgate total interdental toothpaste, sample sized. Gritty gritty gritty. WNBA.
24 - UU sensodyne pronamel toothpaste. Did the job. WBA.
25 - Vosene original shampoo. The misters favourite so will buy again when we've used the stash.

UU

Garnier Minerals APD 250ml - HG, replaced with same from stash

FCUK body butter 200ml - this was from a Christmas gift set last year, not sure if you can buy separately but this was a surprise hit with me. Really liked the smell (been layering with the body spray and shower cream, still in use) and this was lovely and rich but easily absorbed. WBA

I'm really pleased to see someone's won with Glamour, I've doggedly entered nearly every day, apart from when I couldn't think of who to give the prize to.
On the subject of free things, Amazon Vine have offered me a Sure Max women's deo cream to review. RRP of these is about a tenner so that's quite nice. Missed out on a nice Remington paddle brush, but hey-ho.

UUs Olay Anti Wrinkle Firm and Lift Day Cream. WIBA? Yes, got this on Amazon for a decent price. I've got other creams and serums to UU but I like this one. SPF is 15, bit light for the summer but a good product for all other seasons.

Second UU Bio2You Organic Eye Contour Seabuckthorn Eye Cream.
WIBA? It's pricey, but if I had the cash, yes. It's one I got free from Vine last year.
It's good if you have hot, puffy eyes as it has a lovely cooling action. I'm not sure how effective it is at reducing wrinkles, but mine got no worse over the near-year of use.
It's very, very economical to use as well, just a dab of emulsion does both eyes.
No ins but A!di have a BB Cream on special this week, and you know me and A!di...

Hi All,

Just popped in to quickly catch up on the last couple of pages. Been quite the week at work but that's nothing new lately! I've an IN, some Simple facewipes from Wilko's - think this is the first time I've bought any since Christmas as I've been very good with 'proper' cleansing etc but going on a hen do soon where I suspect I'll do well to manage to take my (not inconsiderable) makeup off at all so this should make things easier! :rotfl: I'm sure I've had a UU too in the last couple of days but can't for the life of me think what at the moment and I've not written it down - I'll hopefully remember at some point.

Hope everyone is well and looking forward to a long weekend
