    Hi ladies.
    We had a day out in York yesterday and despite visiting Boots and Lush and an independent department store I bought nothing, I repeat nothing.

    Well done big pat on the back for you :beer:

    I'm looking for a facial sunscreen for my holibobs, preferably SPF 30 or higher. Don't mind the price too much, came back from Dubai last time with a moustache :eek: where my skin had darkened considerably and I don't want it to happen again!

    Any recommendations, oh wise ones?!

    Kheils(sp??!) Have a really good one that is factor 50, I think they had a 30 too, best thing is its not greasy, that is on my wishlist atm. :)

    :D

  • Have just closed my nails inc basket using the 50% off code - and am chanting I do not need polish!

    UU today

    Champneys energising lime body wash 50ml - WNBA it was OK but considering the usual price tag I was expecting to be wowed.

    Champneys energising lime hydrating body gel 50ml - WNBA this just didnt sink in and had to apply clothes this morning whilst it was still wet.

    I didnt have a PP list this month but wanted to try to use 10 shower gels (this is probably the biggest stash horde - and although I use in abundance I also buy in large quantities) and lotions (mostly mini size) - todays UU brought me to the 10 for shower gel - I am however only at 8 for the lotion.
    No more buying toiletries
  • A UU for me today-
    1 Lush So white BB WBA and have several more in stash :)
    I popped this in with 1/2 Happy Bubble bar, scent had mostly gone which is a shame but the bubbles were immense!
    I will have to make sure I UU the other half up soon

    Another teeny UU:

    18. Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate 1.5ml - WMBA, only a small sample but it lasted for a good few days and I really enjoyed using it. It absorbed well, very rich but non-greasy. Expensive though - £1.47 into the pot for this tiny sachet!

    So my new PP list :-

    [STRIKE]Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cleanser[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]TBS Seaweed Toner[/STRIKE]
    Vaseline hand cream
    TBS Cranberry Joy hand cream
    LE Orange Flower hand wash
    L'Occitane Verbena body scrub
    Molten Brown Ylang Ylang shower gel
    Molten Brown Ylang Ylang body lotion
    NSPA BB Cream
    Elemis Neck and Bust Cream

    Just bobbing on to report the cleanser has been UUed too. I like it and am happy to continue using the other 3 pots that I have in stash but don't think I'd buy again. Not very MSE when 30mls lasts a month. I note that you can't buy 30ml pots from timetospa. Think I'll be switching back to the Lime Blossom Cleasnser.

    The Molten Brown body lotion is nearly gone. Will need to cut open bottle later and I've cut the Elemis Neck and Bust Cream tube open.
    Back 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!

  • I have used up one of our liquid hand soaps from the bathroom and bought a new one to replace it as its the cola bottle smelling one which is lovely! I have cleaned out the used up one and put a hand lotion in it instead to try and remind me to use it up a bit quicker!

    I have another liquid hand soap that will be finished soon in our downstairs bathroom, could I fill it with bubble bath to wash our hands with instead? I have a 1000ml bottle of bubble bath from Avon that I dont really like the smell of too much but it would be fine to wash our hands if that would work?!

    UU Lush Fun soap, this went a bit soggy so I chucked it all in the bath for a luxurious bubble bath.
    UU Superdrug facewash - need to buy more as this is my favourite.
    UU Sainsbury's deodrant - I didn't use this originally as I didn't like the smell in the summer, quite liked it during winter, may buy again.

    IN:
    Mum bought me a Nicky Minaj gift set which included:
    Nicky Minaj Body lotion
    Nicky Minaj roll on perfume
    Nicky Minaj spray perfume

    Found my nail varnish chipping from Sunday, so repainted my nails again last night...

    Will there be a Feb challenge? I need to make a list of all my toiletries!
