No buying unnecessary toiletries April 2014

dippy3103

Was a good Glossy Box this month

I won't list my GB haul yet in case others are still waiting. Apparently next months GB is an "exciting collaboration".. Please let it be amazing

Love me beauty was what I expected - the Neal & Woolf blow drying balm smells devine.

One teeny tiny hardly exists in. Bought some Superdrug coconut oil. It's supposed to be an amazing hair conditioner, cleanser etc. So I thought for £2.29 I'd try.

I was doing so well. Still I have only spent £3.39 this month and didn't buy anything fir two whole weeks.

1 UU today (charity shop, actually...)
Just Pink Eau de toilette from Next. I'll use the lip balm that came with it.

I also have 2 started scented body sprays of the girls, what would you do with these??? Don't want to just pour it down the drain - any ideas? The only body spray going on my skin is SoS by Avon against bugs

Linen spray or air freshener maybe?

Two more UU, everything feels like its full sized and nowhere near spluttering at the moment so I'm having to target some overlooked smaller older stash items. 1. Chanel Line Smoothing Mask - original stash item I was holding onto as was 'too good' to use!! Used it last night, went on lovely and did leave skin very soft and glowy. Had a quick Google and doesn't look like it's made anymore, phew!! 2. Radox Moisture Soak finished off in another bath tonight, WBA not my favourite but nice enough and cheap.

Back to work today, v busy but less stressful than of late and then a family drama surfaced!!! Glad I treated myself to the Elemis TSV now :rotfl:

UU here, Ted Baker body spray. Have one more in the stash, the first was butterflies but the second is diffferent and think I prefer that one too.:T

And some UU'd:

Sample size aquafresh toothpaste - WNBA was OK but wouldnt go out of my way to repurchase.

Lush fluffy egg - WBA I like the fragrance,

Sure max protection cream deo - WBA HG replaced with same.

Origins planscriptions serum - this was an unexpected UU as I thought it had another week or so left. WNBA applied like a thin lotion and didnt seem to do much.

Just a quick post on a few UUs in case I forget.
*tigi bed head manipulator shampoo and conditioner. Both really LHJ and I still have another shampoo one to use. Thankfully my bf likes the smell of coconut and has been helping me use it.

*tigi bed head hard to get texture past. One of my HGs. Only have one left to use.

Mrs Moneypenny, please, please do be boring about your cracked heels, slather them with cream EVERY morning and night (before putting socks/tights on after your shower/bath/foot soak in the morning).

Then keep them covered as sadly it's wearing sandals /shoes barefoot that encourages heels to crack. A good excuse to put your feet up and take the weight off.

I know I have mentioned this before, but a couple of years ago a friend developed severe cellulitis after ignoring cracked heels that developed in Rome.
Luckily, she was rushed off a coach once back in the UK and hospitalised to get antibiotics into her system, but a week's holiday turned into a month away from home, in a hospital many miles from friends and family.

I think she must have had very deeply cracked heels then?

I am using up my considerable day cream stash on my feet and they're ever so much better for it! I make sure to at least moisturise my feet after showering as that's when it makes the most difference, also TKMaxx have a tonne of Elle comfort-top socks in at the moment so fine to wear overnight (and they're all pretty as well :T) but I'm not great at remembering to do it then .

Re cracked heels, I'm using soap and glorys heel genius, not so keen on the smell but my feet don't feel so dry and tight in the morning after using this, I can tell when I've missed a day of using it, I'd prefer scholls heel repair treatment but it's quite pricey

Filling my helmer tomorrow, my lotions are spread over a book case , bathroom cupboard and 2 cardboard boxes so it's next on my buy list . thank fully I have a spare room dedicated to boxes and clothes

UU - lush buffy backside slayer budy butter scrub bar... WBA as I love this as exfoliates and gives a good scub too.:)

A few things continue to splutter on...
