Ouch rosemary that injectin sounds painful so hope it helps you
Well done on your weight loss emsjune I know how hard that can be (ongoing battle!)
A few IN's and UU's for me
UU's
Colgate sensitive pro-relief toothpaste 22ml - WNBA
This was from bzz campaign, didn't do anything for sensitivity IMO
Body Shop chocomania sugar body scrub 50ml - WNBA
This was from a valentines gift set, I really wanted to try the chocomania range but a little disappointed. This wasn't as a good as some of the other BS scrubs, had a weird constancy when it got into contact with water/wet skin
Umberto Giannini flirty curls scrunching jelly - WBA/HG
Great on wet or dry curly hair, a must have for me and already replaced from Boots, plus bonus 150points on my card from ACM
IN's
Chanel le volume mascara - freebie
L'Occitane Amande shower scrub 200ml - used this morning and I love it. Lathers, moisturising, smells great and not too harsh
Did the glitch on the grabbit board (moment of weakness) so also have 13 other L'Occitane items to add to my list on this thread which I'm just up to update now.
My IN's have gone a bit crazy this past week so I'm going to try to not increase it now until June which is less than a week away now.
Have a great BH weekend everyone :beer:0 -
Finally UU 1 x Sanctuary Nourish Body Butter and Bath Elixir - I have had these in the cupboard for more than two years and forced myself to use these over the past few weeks to get rid. Even if it were the last body butter and bath elixir on earth I would NEVER buy this again, I hated the smell and the bath elixir made the bath all greasy.
That will teach me not to stockpile stuff that I've not tried and tested, just cos it looked like a bargain at the time. Shame I still have two more tubes of the body butter to get through.Mortgage

I agree with you on not stockpiling, the problem is if it was a bargain and you hadn't tried it so you only bought one you would then love it but sods law dictates that it would no longer be available or no longer a bargain. It always happens.
I have listed a load of stuff on ebay today, some makeup that I have swatched or tried a couple of times and don't like. Ebay have an option for used makeup but then tell you can't list it, well I have anyway and have clearly stated how it has been used.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I have two NBI to declare:
Nivea in shower body moisturiser 10ml
Nivea soft moisturising cream 8ml
I'm very interested to try the in shower body moistriser, because I am so terrible at remembering to moisturise/hating the claggy feeling of getting dressed with moisturised skin/my OH's allergies get set off by lots of the perfumes, so this will be worth a try.
Both from the dare to dip kit from Nivea.0 -
Hope everyone's enjoying this beautiful weather!
A UU while I remember: Gilette shave gel, 200ml - HG, a few still in the stash as I stocked up last weekend while on offer. In case anyone's wondering how I managed to finish this one so soon after the last one ( last weekend, I think) - no, I'm not incredibly hairy, this one was the remnants from a bottle taken on hols :rotfl:MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -
A UU - finished off an Original Source shower gel as I decanted the rest of it into 2 small bottles for my holidays!
Have also looked out a few small tubs of body butter to take with me in my hand luggage.
I know the toiletries have to be less than 100ml but does anyone know if I can take 2 bags through? Also normally I put my toiltries in a zipped large clear plastic makeup bag when it goes into the hold in case it leaks. Can I use this or do I need to use the small plastic bags you get at the airport?:p
Another lovely sunny day todayLife 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.

UU: Miss Sporty Mascara - would have bought again but it seems to have gone up in price.
INs: Collection 2000 mascara to replace it.
2 x Nivea Waterlily shower gel because I love the smell and was getting insecure about my lack of shower gel stash.
Mitchum deodorant - had heard good things so wanted to try it out, not sure about it so far.Decluttering 2015: 2162/20150 -

IN's

Now the other I have on purpose ordered several things from a few companies and spent just over £100 which really is not what I should be doing but I could not resist. They won't arrive till well into next month most are from small handmade bath companies so take a while to be sent.
I am in theory now going on a 2 month no buying session, we will see. I have collected the cushion because I am going to be on the naughty step for a long time but atleast I will smell lovely.0 -
