No buying unnecessary toiletries April 2014

rogueylawyer

I have another two UUs:

Lush the comforter bubble bar - don't think I'd buy again. used it over two baths, but much prefer blue skies.
Sanctuary thermal rose clay mask 7ml - this was part of the Sanctuary Spa Perfect Facial in a Box that I bought in the half price sale at boots. Just had my first facial in about seven years, my skin is fairly sensitive so I don't really like professional facials. This however was lovely. I still have 2/3 of the rest of the box left as the sizes are v generous, and am really disappointed that you can't buy this mask separately. WDBA but in the half price sale.

Dazedandconfused

I got a botanics toner and moisturiser for dry skin as it was on offer and I've started using my Clinique gentle soap.

When my skin gets a bit better I'll go back to my normal routine.

Hello!

I used to post to and follow this thread. I loved it a great deal but I stopped due to illness. (I couldn't really do anything for a while). It doesn't feel like I stopped for that long but I've found that I last posted in Nov 2012! :eek:

Anyway. I've been reading along for the last few days and I'm ready to join in again. I've missed being here and the thread is as warm, friendly and funny as I remembered.

I'm very happy to be back! :beer:

Love, Wil xx

Away from home, no internet, but just managed to log in and saw your post, I have thought of you often, so pleased to see you back.
Will catch up with everyone's posts as and when.

Hello ladies and a very warm welcome to all the newbies. Sorry I've not posted for a while, I've been having a bit of a rotten time so far this month and have been busy over the last 10 days as I have had family staying since before Easter.

I have a few use ups and a couple of ins to declare, but I'll come back and post when I can remember them. I did snap up the OPI TSV on QVC last week and am really pleased with it.

Did you fill your Helmer yet maddiemay?

Back to the cracked heels. Not sure how deep the heel crack was in my friend's case, but cellulitis is a subcutaneous skin infection that only needs a break in the skin to get a foothold. I must emphasise, that is if the circulation is compromised (as it was and still is in my case, and my friend's).
Most people won't develop cellulitis from a skin abrasion, but I did. It's not worth the risk, when regular pampering can prevent it.

I just wanted to second this. My circulation isn't too bad, but I developed cellulitis on my foot last year from an insect bite on my ankle and was within hours of being hospitalised. I developed huge blisters on my skin and couldn't walk properly for over a week. I had to take four courses of very strong antibiotics to clear it up and it's certainly not something I would ever want to experience again.

I have a few uu

John fredia fizz ease dream curls shampoo- WNBA was given as a trail and it was fine, but didnt make my hair amazingly curly or her fab so unless it was in poundland or something i doubt i would buy it.

Aldi orginal source fake thingy WMBA.. it was fine, didnt smell as fresh as the orginal source one and can usually buy the os one quite cheap

skin wisdom make up remover- WBA.. not sure they still do this as i brought it in a sale in tesco where it was 50p a tub! but very gentle on my skin, a little oily but as i use a toner after this isnt a problem. replaced with the same.


TA:
ELF brown gel eyeliner, this had dried up
NYC mascara x 2 had become clumpy
Colour Trend glittery eyes quad, i loved this but used it all through highschool, i graduated in 2008 so it had to go, had no idea it was so old! :eek:
FCUK hair wax, again used to use this at school for waves but havent used it for years all dried up.

INS:
2 x mint and tea tree oil shower gel, superdrug
1 x passionfruit and grapefruit superdrug shower gel, on offer for 3 for £2
Clearskin summer fruits scrub, smells so nice!
VO5 Dry shampoo
santuary body butter free sample
Maybeline foundation free sample.

Also forgot i had

UU:
Aussie long hair conditioner WNBA i LOVED this and made my hair sooo lovely, however i didnt realise they tested on animals, as i would never buy from them on that basis.

Some more UU

Elemis frangipani shower gel - WNBA fragrance isnt for me.

Boots No7 face wipes - WBA rarely use these as I prefer to cleanse properly but they are handy for festivals etc.

TA
8 lipsticks/glosses - had a swatching session and these were either old or the colour unflattering.

Staying at my parents house for a bit so have a whole different section of the stash to work through!

UU:
LOreal radiance revealing gentle exfoliator - one more of these to go now, like it but probably wouldnt get it again for a while
Lush shampoo bar - cant recall the name but it was green. Had gone all gooey so threw it out, not that much left anyway. Made my hair quite tangly so not a fan.
Clairol colour conditioner - not convinced these colour things work. WNBA.
Clarins foot treatment cream. Think this must have been a GWP thing, wouldnt spend that much on a foot thing!

I have a conditioner that's been standing on it's head for about 2 weeks and can't shift the stuff from it's shoulders to the tube. Not sure how I can get it out without cutting it up, probably another 2-3 uses left if I can get it out. but the MSE in my wants to UU it up properly!

Can you add a little warm water to it and shake it up?
If i'm using a product from a hard bottle i put it in the sink and fill it with warm water to soften it.

Some UU's Yay! :rotfl::T:rotfl:

Swizzlers Matllow Fruity pops bath crystals wnba, they were a gift from Xmas but they didn't do much and by the end i was adding bubble bath aswell.

Crabtree and evelyn pomegranate hand cream - WBA if on offer, lovely for in my hand bag but not worth full price.

Not on my list but an everyday use - Orab B 3d white lux WNBA - did nothing for my sensative teeth and DH says the after taste was awful.

TA - Avon supershock mascara, dried up after minimal use, thin layered when in use - WNBA

I'm off into town next week so i know i'll have some In's but i'm only taking my UU piggy bank money so i'm sort of being MSE about it

nillionaire

INS (it was my birthday today so treating myself)

-CK one SHOCK perfume (present)
- Marylyn hair treatment from LUSH
- top shop cream blush, really tempted to buy a Clinique one but decided I wouldn't want to use it because it's in the shape of a flower which is lovely so went for this as a cheaper option

Didn't have time to get other things I wanted so probably a few more ins to come!
