    Hi everyone,

    I have a UU:

    15. Elemis Pro-Radiance hand and nail cream 20ml - WNBA, smells nice but others much cheaper which do the job just as well. I have so many hand creams that I can't imagine EVER needing to actually buy one :rotfl:

    and INs:

    28-30. No 7 Pore Refining Serum 30ml x 3 - in my defence, these cost me just £2 for the 3, and I will need a primer at some point in the next couple of months...

    Really not having a good month :o Hoping that my weekend away at the end of the month will help me towards at least being static for this month - need to start digging out all the sachets and minis I can lay my hands on!

    got 5 goodie bags for sale on flea bay all have at least 1 watcher so fingers crossed for quite a few outs this weekend:)
  • Whee, on a roll with the use ups! Today I finished a 50ml sample of Dream Cream from Lush - WIBA? Yes, definitely! This is the only body lotion I like (body butter girl), and it's great for this hot weather :) I have a 100ml pot in the stash from my gift box the other day, but am moving onto a Baylis and Harding hand lotion that I'm going to use as body lotion...
    No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January!
    UU: 5, IN: 2
    Total Stash: 99 - ultimate target 33 (year start 99)
  • 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 :(

    Soap and Glory Peaches and Clean smells just like peach yogurt and is very gentle on the skin.

    Ambre Solaire SPF 50 sun spray - WBA already replaced last week

    UU 1 - OS Lime Shower Gel.
    WIBA? I'd actually bought this for DS but he never used it so it's been lurking in the bathroom for a year or two and I've gradually adopted it.
    So having had it around for a long time I'm not in a rush to replace. Next year maybe. I love Original Source.

    UU2 - A 60ml pot of L'Oreal intensive hairconditioner. Pink. Can't be more specific as all info was in Spanish. My mate was given this and passed it on as she didn't have a scooby-doo on how to use it.
    WIB, if I could? No, it was okay but not as good as the L'Oreal I usually use.

    Now... in other news, as some of you know Am@zon send me stuff to trial every month - basically it could be anything and not necessarily toiletries.
    Last month, a rather good rotary washing line -buying the ground spike and cover cost me £35 though-, some coconut oil & silver salve, a step counter and 15 kg of dog food.

    This month - a hair removal system. Worth just under £300, wow. Plus a Remington hairdryer, exactly the same one as A!di had on offer earlier this year.

    The last time I had a hair removal system offered me it was completely useless as it only worked properly on flat areas.
    I don't know about you, but apart from the hairless palm of my hand, there are no flat surfaces on my body.
    So I await this one with interest.

    wow mcculloch:p will be interested to hear how you get on with the hair removal system.
    I have the Boots smooth skin one and its such a palavar to use that I very rarely do and it stings too :eek:
    No more UUs do have a couple of shampoo INs through the Tesco magazine glitch. :D Some may be regifted

    Don't want to complain but this heat is almost unbearable!
    Life 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.
    Take time but don't waste time

    well fed up this morning,after a week of lots of views and watchers none of my goodie bags sold on fleabay:(:(:(:(:(

    not only that,because of the way they do feedback mine has gone down to 95%,all because of some stupid bovine who left a neg comment last September after mixing me up with some one else!!!!!!before that I was 100% for years,now have had 23 positive and 1 neg over the last 12 months,such an unfair system,beginning to wonder if it is all worth it!!!!
