    I've been trying (and failing) to work out how they help with a hijab? Do they help keep it weighted so it doesn't blow around too much or something?

    Ha ha! No, some like to put padding under their hijab so the scarf looks voluminous. Shower puffs are supposed to be good because if you remove the thread you can tie them around your ponytail/bun.

    If you are around? I just noticed (when looking for something else) that A*di have the Urea Foot Cream listed on their Sunday offers page - 23rd February.:D

    Thank you for remembering! I've just gone on the site and whoopee, whoopee. I will be down there on Sunday. I think I'll get two. They also have a Lacura facial oil, I see. Oooh. That may be why the serums haven't been in, they wanted to create a demand for this. Well, it's worked.

  • Hello ladies,

    Another UU from the PP List:-

    Burts Bees Foot Cream. WDNBA. Really couldn't get on with the texture of this stuff. My list now looks like this:-

    Lush Lip Scrub
    Sure Deodorant roll on - feels very light
    LE mascara
    Aussie conditioner
    Mark HIll Straightening Serum
    L'occitane eye roll on sachet (I opened this last night and it is soo runny. Really difficult to apply from a sachet!!
    [STRIKE]Origins Plantscription Eye Cream 5ml [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Burts Bees body lotion [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Burts Bees foot cream [/STRIKE]
    Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator - full sized - tube cut open

    The Exfoliator will be next to go as there's only one application left now.
    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 some of this, I can't stand it, it's so greasy. Burt's Bees is a product line I really wanted to love but so far have been unimpressed with the stuff I've tried :(

    UU: Bioeffect EGF serum (sample size, from my You Beauty Advent). WDNBA the price tag is ridiculous and I didn't see a difference to my skin at all.

    Moneyless mac - hope you feel better soon.

    Hermia - I have had a couple of Nivea Pearl & Beauty deodorants and they were rubbish too, still have one more roll on in the stash. No good for warmer weather at all.

  • One more TA, the day cream that I was sent to test with the matching night cream (that I also threw away). These were both way to harsh, and actually stung when I applied them. I am letting the study know.
    No more goo hoarding!

  • Hi everyone. February really is turning into the month where I use pretty much everything up! Last night it was:

    Nuxe Rose Micellar Water 50ml - Got this in a kit that I took on holiday last year and it's come in handy. Not sure I would buy again but it did a good job of just making sure I'd removed all my makeup after cleansing.

    Avene Cleanance K 40ml - This is a HG item for me. Found this tube in the cupboard while I was tidying up last night and I just about got one use out of it.

    Lush Rose Jam shower gel 250ml - Loved the scent of this and it lasted me almost 5 months. I swear I do actually use a reasonable amount of shower gel when I wash but my shower puff / lily things always foam things up really well so I find that shower gel does last me a while. Not like the DF who goes through a bottle a week it seems like. I have a 100g bottle in the stash but I like to use things up in the order that they came into my possession so that means I'm on to a 250g bottle of Ponche (again from Lush). At this rate, this could keep me going till July!

    Lush Vanilla Dee-Lite 250g - Loved the scent of this and it's a good lotion, but it's way too expensive really. Moved on to TBS Honeymania body butter.

    Sure Maximum Protection deodorant - HG, although I may go back to Mitchum once I've used up the last remaining one in my stash.

    I think after this flurry of activity there won't be any UU's for a while!
