    Forgot to add in 2 handwashes and 2 shower gels from Avon.
    4 items from Glossybox (1 had leaked). Seriously considering cancelling this. I've got a stash of things from them I'm probabaly never gonna use and most of the things they send arent stuff I'd ever use. Loads of make up items from obscure brands and yet again another nail polish this month.
    UU's- Elemis monoi body wash (small bottle)- WNBA, lovely product but cant justify the price.
    Avon magix face perfector-WNBA, did the job but ive got other primers that felt nicer going on.
    April £5 a day challenge- £15.05/£150
  • UU

    Elemis trienzyme mask - WBA love it

    TBS raspberry shower gel - still have one to go but WNBA as there are other scents I prefer.
    No more buying toiletries

    Avon IN. A Skin So Soft Silky Moisture Body Butter. It's a bit heavy for this weather, but I have one of the sprays that is now being rapidly UU'ed, I do like the fragrance, Silky Moisture's the pink one.
    Not sure if it's as good an insect repellent as the original, but we tend not to get bothered by mozzies around here.

    Have a uu

    Elemis Tranquil Touch Bath Elixer - 100ml - this smells lovely but other than that I can't see why it would be so expensive. I have several more of these in the stash so no need to buy just now.

  • Hooray, finally vanquished the last of the Herbal Essences Dazzling Shine shampoo :j - I left it at home after the Easter break in the hope that my brother would use it up, but he hadn't, so I bit the bullet. I would NEVER buy this again, because every single time I used it, it got in my eyes. WHY?? I am perfectly capable of washing my hair with every other kind of shampoo, and not stinging my eyes, so what's different about this one??? Argh!

    I also used up my sample of Lush Aqua Marina face wash thingy - I'm undecided on this, I liked the feel of it very much, and the effects, but on some days I think it smells like fish. I need to see if I can find something similar but less fishy.

    On that note, can anyone recommend a rose or peach scented face wash (for use in the shower)? I've moved onto a Garnier one, but although it has a rose on the front, it actually contains no rose and doesn't smell of it :(
