No buying unnecessary toiletries March 2014

Shazbat... a lengthy post that went into the ether. Oh well... summarising.

I spotted - just in time- a competition to win some Molton Brown Rhubarb and Rose (!) so have entered that. I daren't buy any more shower gel even if the rhubarb one is heavenly, lol.

UU of half a pack - the 'second' half - of A!di Carino Light Brown hair colour. This is 100 ml of product in the full pack, far too much for my fine, shortish hair. Half the pack is plenty.

For anyone else thinking of trying this, you measure the product out unmixed and mix it in a mixing bowl, then seal up the tube and bottle very carefully. It won't work with foam colours but is fine with the old style tube of colour and bottle of developer.

A!di's is 100 ml of mix in a full box against the pound shops' 80 ml and I got really good results with the 50 ml I used today. The first half was used back last October, and carefully sealed, the remaining contents were fine today.

I wonder if I should start a "no buying unnecessary jam doughnuts in 2014" thread too :rotfl:

UU #48: Nivea Express Hydration body lotion 250ml; WNBA, not rich enough for my parched skin and very sticky if over applied, as I did last night to use up the dregs It's at least a couple of years old and I'm glad it's gone. Buh-bye!

Hormonal today and think I might need a new eyeliner after I put mine through the WM in the pocket of my dressing gown Opened it this morning and got sprayed with hundreds of dots of liner which had collected in the lid, I'm assuming the spin cycle is to blame. I get very cross with myself when I do silly things like this, especially if it means a trip to Boots to right my wrongs

I have a uu

Molton Brown Warming Eucalyptus Shower Gel - 50ml - This is my favourite of the MB shower gels I have tried and my favourite Eucalyptus one by far, it doesn't have that cold menthol hit but still helps my head and sinuses. The price is extortionate though. I have another half bottle this size in the stash and a full size Khiels Eucalyptus and Mint.

I find it a bit like dieting, the first couple of weeks you lose a few pounds (or products ) and that carries you through the next couple of weeks where you lose a pound (or UU an already almost finished pot of body butter ) and then you hit that STAY THE SAME wall that has you reaching for the jam doughnuts (or the Avon catalogue or the TSV or your nearest Boots, whatever's your Achilles heel )

I have no advice but I just wanted to sympathise! And now I want a jam doughnut

That made me giggle. Can totally relate! :rotfl:

It's short for Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, an anti-ageing moisturiser by Elemis.

BUY. IT.

There's a reason some many of us love it, and I don't care if I'm enabling!

This was my Project Pan for Feb/March UU's shown

1. Rescue Oil 40 ml - a pound shop buy, I think, not the real Bio-Oil.

2[STRIKE]. Australian Tea Tree Oil Spray, 30ml.
[/STRIKE]
3. [STRIKE]Avon Naturals Black Cherry & Nutmeg Body Lotion.[/STRIKE]

4.[STRIKE] Avon Naturals Cranberry and Cinnamon Hand & Body Lotion[/STRIKE]

5. Elvive Leave in Conditioner Spray

6. [STRIKE]Redeken Leave in Conditioner Spray (mini)[/STRIKE]

7.[STRIKE]Avon Naturals Cranberry & Cinnamon shower gel, 400 ml.[/STRIKE] Put the last 75ml or so into an empty 200ml bottle and put it aside for this Christmas. It's too wintry for this time of year.

8. [STRIKE]150ml Avon Beautiful XXL Foot Works Foot Cream [/STRIKE]

Well, that's not too bad.
Project Pan for March/April as follows:

1. Rescue Oil 40 ml

2. Aldi Lacura Mature Eye Cream 15ml

3. Mitchum roll-on deo 50 ml

4. Aldi Lacura Q10 day moisturising cream with Spf 15.

5. Aldi Lacura Hydro-Urea Foot Cream 150 ml (first tube in use)

6. Avon Moroccan Oil shampoo 200ml

7. Avon Moroccan Oil conditioner 200ml

8. Schwarzkopf Gliss conditioner. 200ml

Leaving the Elvive for now whilst the other conditioners are used up. Not the most glam list but a practical one with good value products, all of which work well for me.
