No buying unnecessary toiletries February 2014

I'm wondering if my shower gel was a faulty batch too; would explain them being given away. Ah well, it was still very nice.
UU of A!di Lacura face wipes, which were in stock today so.. duly replaced. HG product, I love these and at 89p for 30, well, can't go wrong.
Got DS some A!di OS looky-likey shower gel. I have a 750ml Avon shower gel for him somewhere, which I fully expect to find now I have bought the A!di one. I have litres of gel and cream for myself but not anything that DS will use.
I couldn't see any of the Lacura Renew serums on the shelf which got me a bit concerned. Mind you, these are a best-seller so they could well be waiting to re-stock. Hopefully mine should last till the end of the month.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...

Well it has been confirmed they no longer make the mascara... So can anyone recommend a low cost mascara with one of those love or hate plastic wands? (I love them!) x

Happy Birthday SundaysGirl!
I have a UU to report - Vaseline Hand Cream - Probably wouldn't BA unless I couldn't get hold of the Lacura Hand Cream which I have discovered is cheaper and nicer!Decluttering 2015: 2162/20150 -

1 TA - In shower body conditioner that I was sent to test ages ago. After the trial I put it in my gym bag to use when I go to the gym, but I got fed up with it. It doesn't do anything but make a mess! Why did I bother carrying it around so long?!
1 UU - Formula night cream (another product I was sent to test). Was quite nice but it would sink in so fast that I found myself applying several layers, so I'm guessing not hydrating enough for me.
3 INS but they are all free products I have been sent to test, so I haven't spent any money. It's more the lack of space in my bathroom I worry about though! I rollerball eye cream (not impressed with this, packaging is rubbish and it doesn't seem to do much) and 1 day cream (not due to start testing this for two weeks) and a night cream that I used for the first time last night. Seems nice so far.No more goo hoarding!

Happy birthday to Sundays girl!
I've been good today - just resisted the L'occitane QVC TSV - didn't seem an amazing deal. I see nails inc is now 75% off.... Must resist.
One week into February tomorrow and now INS! It's going much better this month.No buying unnecessary toiletries in 2014: currently counting hoard....numbers TBA0 -

It was the hair band that I was tempted by!
I decided against it as I've lots of new mascaras already, not keen on Percy & Reed, the shower gel I think is the one Mcculloch was complaining about and I've enough lip balms.
May look on eBay for a hair thingy. Also they said colours vary and I wouldn't want a bright one.
