Morning all.
Rougey :eek: to the customer in L'occ.
Welcome back And.
Re the Elemis Skin Nourishing shower gel, I have boat loads of this stuff too but find that my DD can use it without it aggravating her eczema. So she has a mini in her swim kit and one in the bathroom.
Went into town yesterday and managed to leave without any items to add to the stash. I did buy a Babyliss Wave Envy hair styler for DD''s hair though, they were reduced to £24.99 but one was marked up at £10 so I got that one, it's brand new and sealed up so I have no idea why it was less. They had the exact same item on the regular shelf in the new boxes (for Christmas I suppose) at £49.99. Exactly the same product inside so far as I could see.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

My post has disappeared into thin air and I still cannot update signature, so will try and post ins and outs later.
Windy and rain due here soon I think, later than forecast, but still hate wet sundays:(The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -

I love it when this happens.
I have cleaned my bathroom this morning and had a sort through all the products that were out on the counter tops. Have left out items that need to be UU by both me and Emma and am aiming to UU one skincare product, one haircare product and one bodycare product - I've earmarked my pot of nspa night cream as I can see the bottom of the pot, the bottle of Aussie intense conditioner which is feeling very light and a pot of TBS blueberry body butter which again feels light but I can't see the bottom.
I went through all my lipglosses as one of my favourite Smashbox ones called Stunning is spluttering - in fact I think the only product left is coating the sides of the tube that I can't get to with the brush. I went through them in the hope that I had a spare of this colour which I don't sadly.
Sneakily used some of Emma's products as she has gone out shopping with her friend. Especially liked the Benefit facial scrub (though it reminds me a lot of the Apri one I used to use years ago) and Lush Mask of Magnaminity. Won't tell her I used them if you guys won't lol xWindy and rain due here soon I think, later than forecast, but still hate wet sundays:(
The weather is vile here too. Will be spending the day making my online ASDA order, cleaning, washing, ironing and will paint my nails later. Am going to wear OPI Mrs O'Leary's BBQBack for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

UU's
Lush vanilla dee lite WNBA not my favourite, nice enough but I am over my vanilla phase.
Wei Chinese rose facial cleanser 10ml WNBA smelled of plastic not very pleasant to use.
No 7 Exteme length mascara WBA great at seperating lashes have another I just put into use
2 x L'oreal super liner in black WBA my favourite eye liner
Vitage Vitamin C serum 28ml WNBA i did like this product to start but as time has gone on my skin did not really get on with it. It contains alcohol which unbalances my skin, final push to get this finished.
2 X John Frida sheer blond shampoo sachet WNBA okay.
L'oreal mythical oil conditioer sachet WNBA good size 15ml mean't I could actually try it. Did not make my hair feel softer actually made it a little less soft than normal.
2 X lush soap (*200g) turned into laundry gloop - miranda, Mr punch and 13 unlucky for dirt WNBA don't like the scent of them.
TA
BS body butter passion fruit 50 ml WNBA hate the scent, it was nearly finished but I really did not see the point of making myself use it up.
BS deodry WNBA did not work
Must remember 21 outs for signature.
That is it for now, more to follow. I am currently targeting products that are open and sachets. I have a shampoo that I don't like currently repurposed as sink and bath cleaner. I keep promising to be good but still need to put this into practice. I have actually managed a week without buying (still waiting for an order and Birchbox) but atleast I have not spent anything. I am very excited about Lush's Christmas products which are out in a few weeks and I know I will spend. So I am being what I class as good before I have more INS to declare.0 -

welcome back And!
i still havent caved on the Elle beauty box so im very proud of myself! spent the money on glass jars from ikea instead :rotfl:
UU:
l’occitaine moisturizer mini - this was a mag freebie, WMBA im not sure if i can justify the full price of it. was lovely to use though!
nuxe shower gel mini - WBA, nice smell. not much foam though.
sophyto moisturiser - WNBA i didnt like the smell of this.
liz earle conditioner - WBA but i prefer the everpure now.
Elemis body scrub - WBA if part of a set, i dont think its worth the price on its own
RMK foaming cleanser - WBA, you only need a tiny bit and it foams really well, the mini i had lasted ages too!0 -
Not been on recently, life has got in the way and bit and still upset as losing my lovely cat yesterday,
we'd had her 20years and had had a great life and never loked or acted her age. It's been a bit of a shock for us all as her litter sister is much frailer and looks her age.
Back on topic I have a couple of UU
Boots handwash - was ok and reasonably priced so WBA
Tesco whitening toothpaste - don't notice any difference from normal toothpaste but not too expensive.
I have no INsLife 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 time0 -
