No buying unnecessary toiletries February 2014

I hope people are reluctant to leave Rosemary's craft fair to brave the weather... X fingers.
Another small UU, Next Enchantment foot lotion 75ml. This was from the set I was gifted at Christmas. WNB, nothing special, though the foot lotion had a stronger scent than the hand or body lotion.

Now on to the Bayliss & Harding Mandarin/Grapefruit hand/body lotion my daughter gave me. It's the nicest B&H I've come across in terms of texture, but the smell is more grapefruit than mandarin and they don't have a particularly pleasant smell. As with all B&H the packaging is lovely.

Wizzypop - hope your cold clears up soon.

Rosemary - hope you sell loads.

I have a uu

Body Shop Coconut Body Scrub - This was nice but I will not be purchasing body scrubs when I have finished what I have, I have an Elemis body brush and scrubby gloves to use instead.

2 UUs for me:

Blossom shower gel - part of a gift set, nice smell, think it was a limited line for Christmas

The BS rose hand cream. I like these hand creams but always felt annoyed by the big pocket of air in the middle. You think there's half a tube left, enough for a few weeks at least, and then this big pocket of air comes out, and you're left with 2 days of product. Grumble. Lovely hand cream, would happily receive as a gift, but not worth the £5 price tag for 2-3 weeks of use.

Another UU! One of the 4 (yes 4!) dry shampoos, I hate that superdrug always seem to have them on a buy 1 get 2 free offer! I can't leave the free ones yet they last me AGES and take up so much space I've probably had these 6-12 months !

Have repainted my nails with Different Dimensions - Dueling unicorns

That is by far the best nail varnish name I have ever heard!

I've decided I'm going to paint my nails today, I recently had a couple days of madness and chewed them all down to the quick so they haven't been painted in a while because I hate looking at them. For years my nails have been what is possibly too long, false nail long, but actually real. Now theres like nothing there

Morning All,

Got a bit of the lurgy, sore throat, sniffles etc and I've been really tired all week so today I don't plan to go very far or do very much at all! I'm going to have to bite the bullet and dye my hair though, my roots are shocking and there's only so much coloured dry shampoo can hide!! :eek: I'm scared of staining the new bathroom so as ridiculous as it sounds have been thinking of doing the first rinse in the kitchen sink and then jumping in the shower afterwards....:o

Two more out for me, Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter body wash, WDBA, one of my favourites, wish I'd have bought more of these mini body wash sets in the sales but was trying to exercise some restraint, have got two of the full size cocoa butter sets that I got 70% off, they're in the gift stash at the moment though but can see at least one getting brought over to my personal stash at some point Also out as a GA Nip + Fab Wild Cherry handcream, very strongly scented and as such eventually brought my hands out in a rash and made them all itchy, I might try the sugared almond version as this is nowhere near as strong smelling so I might get on ok with that one. For now I'm using S&G The Daily Smooth instead as its nice and soothing.

Will sort my stash list out today or it'll be the end of the month before I know what's happening and I'll have no idea of where I'm upto!!

Morning ladies,

Belated Happy birthday to Sundaysgirl, hope you have a fab weekend celebrating

Asset, I agree with everything everyone else has already said, these people aren't worth sharing air with never mind your precious cash, good luck with the job hunt

I have a uu: Gorgeous by Gok bath essence, this was a present two Christmases ago. I like the Gok range but I don't think I would go out and buy it although would be happy to receive it as a gift again

Happy pampering xo

The Baylis & Harding Wild Cherry and Fig Hand Wash is the nicest product of theirs I've found - it's divine. I bought it on a whim ages ago but it's nearly run out and I can't find it anywhere now to stock up.

Compression marks?

I use the double-sided ones, they're kind of quilted on one side and sort of hashy/net looking on the other side if that makes any sense? :rotfl:

Sorry it was my rubbish explanation these are the type I mean - the new ones I picked up are just 'oval face pads' so feel like cotton wool which I cant bear.

UU

Cotton buds - replaced with the same

I have fast growing nails so spent years with people telling me they were false - as a result I only occasionally painted them. DD came along and nails were kept short for obvious reasons but now Ive rediscovered my love of polish with a passion. Im sure with a bit of attention your nails will return to their former glory and in the meantime I always think darker colours look better on 'shorties' than talons.
