    Handmade bath bomb - WNBA bought as a cheaper alternative to Lush but I would rather save my cash for the original.

    3 old toothbrushes replaced with new ones.
    No more buying toiletries

    I really like this and also the body spray, bought several of each and also the body wash :o when they were reduced to clear. I think I've used most of it up but still have the body wash, BF likes this and I was a bit surprised when I could see it's level going down until he said he'd been using it :p I got him the Home Bargain copy of the Philosophy shower gel/shampoo a few months ago but he much prefers the fcuk, there's only about an inch left, so he'll need to start liking it :)

    I still have the body wash unopened, so I'm yet to judge (I think this was a gift set) and I'm half way through the body spray. I hope I love the bodywash as much as the spray lol :)

    I have another UU to report!! :T

    Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter Bodywash WBA I really like this stuff and it's much cheaper then TBS equivalent it's supposed to be copying. I still have stash items to get through though.

    I'm trying to get through the stuff I'm not so keen on though now. Does anyone else find themselves saving stuff in their stash "for best" while still trying to get through it? I have random shower gels/body lotions that came with perfume gift sets, and while I like the perfume, these have been shoved to the back of the cupboard. On the other hand I have Sanctuary stuff in the stash that I'm looking forward to using, and so I'm keeping it as a reward for using up the other stuff.

    While I know I probably should get rid of anything I don't love, there's a tiny part of my brain shouting at me for being wasteful lol :o

    Well done if anyone managed to keep up with the inner workings of my brain!
  • So sorry to hear of your loss Asset.
  • 5 INs from this months Glossy Box. I quite like the items that have come, only not so sure about a perfume that came in it.

    I'm thinking I might cancel the Glossy Box though - I've been keeping them going because I was going to use the boxes to put my Christmas gifts in, but my friends have just announced they want to do a Secret Santa this year. As much as I like the toiletries, I have nothing to do with the empty boxes, and will never throw them away!

    UU a little body spray bottle. Think the brand is Parfums Love and I think this one was called "My Love" was sweet but nice. The bottles are done in a love heart style and came from Bo*ts at Christmas :)
  • Morning ladies, hope you're all well.

    I'm feeling a bit chirpier today, despite another busy week at work, as we booked a spontaneous mini break for next month last night. I do like my holidays, think someone should start a NBU Holidays thread for me to join though as this one really isn't "needed". It does, however, give me a chance to get through my sachets and minis :)

    Anyway, back on topic...

    UU:

    21. CK Downtown EDP 1.5ml - this was a freebie and I was very pleasantly surprised by it, quite a different scent and WMBA

    22. Soap & Glory Heel Genius foot cream 125ml - this was a real LHJ and took a dedicated effort to get through it so I'm very happy to report this! WNBA in the near future as although I did like the consistency and scent I have at least another one of these still...

    Have a uu

    Pantene Aqua Light Treatment - WNBA, this seems to be exactly the same as the conditioner but in a tube, I used it as conditioner and it worked fine. This came my way via a voucher and ended up costing pennies.

    I am feeling quite proud of myself today, I had an online basket full on the BS website on Sunday with the 40% off and free delivery but didn't checkout - £30 ish pounds saved there. Then yesterday I had over £100 of things in my basket on M&S with their 20% beauty event and GWP, left it there all day but in the end just closed the site.

    It is a relief really as I don't want to spend the money as we need it for other things but I really need to start seeing some of the clutter of bottles and tubes etc disappearing. It's been a good month so far only a few things in but loads of uu and if I carry on at least until Christmas I might be able to have a reorganise and get rid of a couple of boxes.

    Just TA a Rimmel Volume Flash Mascara (OUT number 126) I was given loads of these mascaras a few years back and am now onto my last one. Have been using Benefit They're Real which I love and need to throw away. Planning on using up the last Rimmel one I have and then either purchasing a full size or mini They're Real (depending on money!)

    Nice to see you back Rosemary :j - glad to hear you had a lovely holiday. Very jealous of the heat! I'm so cold today.

    Have a uu

    Melvita Rosewater Spray - this was a mini from LIB I think, it was nice but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it also I have another in the stash.

    Also uu a HE Beautiful Ends Intensive Mask - this is used by DD as it helps to untangle her very long hair.

    Had an email from LIB about their new box but they are just recycling previous minis so I won't be buying this one.
