    Throwing away TBS coconut oil hair shine. I've been trying to use it for a little while, but it's not shiny, it's greasy. Don't get much benefit from it.
  • Another 3 OUTs :)

    Boots dental tape: WDBA when on offer, replace with the same.

    Simple face wipes: replaced with the same.

    Boots Essential Moisture Night Cream: I got this as part of a gift set and probably WNB. I think it's for dry skin, and I've got oily skin so it's not something I would normally buy. It did a good job of moisturising though, as my skin does get slightly dry in the winter.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)

    Mum has asked for some skincare bits and a haircut for Mother's Day and her birthday which is less than a week later. I was thinking of getting her a few of the trial sizes of masks and moisturisers from the liz Earle website whilst there is free delivery. Just wondering does anybody know if they still give a sample of C&P as I don't want to buy it if it comes with one. Its not being advertised on the site any longer? Thanks in advance :)

    I'm also planning to get some yankee candle wax tarts and a new burner as you ladies seem to love them:D I have to admit I tried one from the range in Asda and I see why they're so popular (early stages of a new addiction starting!:o)

    Jen, PM me the email address you are signed up to Facebook with and I'll add you:)

    Ooh no, back from Aldi with Lacura Face Treatment Oil, completely unintended but our Aldi fan tempted me again:D They had quite a lot of it left in our store.

    Thank You! I've just pm'd you :)x
  • UU

    Lush Cinders bath bomb - WBA but think its seasonal

    Radox refresh shower gel - WBA DH favourite.

    Garnier clean and fresh face wash - WBA DD likes this one.

    Boots smile 6+ toothpaste

    Korres lemon & basil shower gel 50ml - this was really nice to use - I have other fragrances left to sample but WMBA if I ever finish the shower gel mountain.

    7 ebay outs.

    MaddieMay - I wondered whether you had purchased the LD TSV - I managed to resist as id went over the top at LLArowe & EDM.
    No more buying toiletries

    Another UU this morning:
    Waitrose essentials plum mimosa body wash. WIBA? This has a lovely delicate fragrance which is just lovely! They do (i hope they still do) a whole range in this scent, the body wash didnt last very long- so I think I'll stick to the bubble bath. Very reasonably priced too, and often on offer for a £1. I have lots of bubble bath to get through first though.

    6 days and counting- no ins!

    I don't know if LE still give away free C&P sample but I would email them if I were you. Their Customer Service is brilliant so they should reply fairly quickly for you.

    I'm planning on emailing them later to give feedback on the body lotion sachet I had. Have UUed the sachet this morning and am so impressed by the quantity that was in there. As mentioned yesterday I'm not a fan of this fragrance but would give the Begamot and Ginger one a go (of course once all my other lotions and potions are gone!!).

    For Yankee Candles I would recommend https://www.yankeedirect.com. They have bulk buy discounts that you can mix and match on the tarts and a loyalty scheme. I usually order mine from there. The only other place that I buy my YC from is our local outlet.
    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 rub mine on the ends of my hair half an hour before I have a bath/shower. It really conditions the ends of my (quite long) hair. I found it rubbish for the purpose they state, but good for conditioning before washing out :)
