No buying unnecessary toiletries March 2014

I have a few used up...

Nauge facial scrub- don't even know this brand but WNBA was awful! Wasn't a scrub and just didn't do anything! Replaced with Avon immediate response

Body wash 80ml - was just a cheapo gift set one WNBA didn't really do much, smelt ok but no lather

Avon berry mint foot scrub - used this in the shower, smelt really nice and made my feet feel very soft so WBA but got a lot in stock first!

I haven't heard of the reusable ones. Would be a bit worried in case they somehow got 'lost' in the washing machine, iykwim?

Yeah, I'm not 100% sure but I think they come with like a little net bag that you wash them in. I saw them on a youtube video once, I think it was athriftmrs.

I've used a few MUA products, some of them are really great! My fave thing (of the few I've tried) is their waterproof liquid eyeliner! only £1 and amazing for the price!

Two friends have birthdays this month, they each got identical gift bags (actually Wilko "fox and owl" shopping bags) of different bits and pieces, chocolates, a mug, posh teabags ..and toiletries.
Wilko had 75ml tubes of their own handcream at 2 for £1, L'Aimant body sprays for £1 and their own lime shower gel at buy one for £1 get 1 half price, so those were the bargains I snapped up.
They also had rhubarb shower gel on the same buy 1 get 1 half price offer. You read right. Rhubarb.
It looked as if not a single one had sold.

The rhubarb is intriguing. I'd buy it. I love rhubarb.


I have four full sized empties to report.


3 - Perlier Hand Cream in an Almond Scent. 100ml. Took forever to use up. I would buy again but the shipping charges are stupidly expensive.


4 - St. Ives Diamond Scrub exfoliator tube 75ml. I don't think they make it anymore. I liked it though much gentler than the apricot scrub they make.


5. Burt's Bees Sage scented cleanser for dry/mature skin. Huge tube I got as a trial. Grew to loathe the scent, it left a scummy film on the sink and I really have never liked a product by this company.


6. Tresemme Conditioning Masque. It's supposed to repair two years worth of damage. The first few times I used it, it was really nice but when I used it a couple of weeks later, it weighed down my hair and did nothing.


I'm nearly done some face wipes that are just too dry. They make lovely shoe wipes!

It can be hit and miss.
I think they are much better than ELF, though.
I love the MUA palettes, very pigmented and at around £4 for 12 colours they are a great price. I have 4 palettes and yesterday I ordered a new palette from the MUA Luxe range to try. It was more expensive at £8 so hoping it is as good, if not better than the palettes I already have.
I was NOT impressed with MUA single eyeshadows. Luckily I only bought 2 and they are only a £1 each so not a huge loss. Also didn't like the one blusher I tried, not much pigment.
Lipsticks are nice for £1.
I've also got a lip gloss on order as I've not tried those and I needed to make my order up to £10 to get free delivery.
