IN (prize) - Body shop frosted cranberry showergel (mini)
IN - Ponds cold cleanser

Love & Wilde Vanilla and Honey Body Butter 50ml: This is arguably the best smelling product I have ever tried and it seems to be a seasonal product as I can't find it online anymoreWBA if it's made again!
Love & Wilde Vanilla and Honey Moisturising Foam Bath 100ml: We haven't got a bath in our flat so I repurposed this as hand wash so I could enjoy the smell all day
EOS Blueberry Acai Lip Balm: I LOVE EOS lip balms - HG! DH is currently in the US and has picked up loads for me so I will have some INs when he returns!
Superdrug Soft Skin Nourishing Body Lotion 250ml: Really rich and moisturising but the lotion is a bit too runny. Picked up for 15p as they are discontinued and I have 4 more in the hoard!
I'm really glad the Love & Wilde products are good, as I bought a little gift set in the Jan sales for a gift and I hadn't heard of them before. I'm having a similar problem with Superdrug's Cocoa Butter Body Lotion - it takes a while to absorb but it is so runny and it keeps dripping onto the floor!
A UU to report. Dove GoFresh Body Wash. I think the scent was nectarine and white ginger. One of my favourite body washes and WBA, but not until I've used up all my others!Thank you to everyone who posts on here0 -
Morning ladies.
I have some uu
Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel 15ml - this smells lovely and leaves my skin very soft and smooth, I have several more tubes this size in the stash to use before I even think about buying.
Body Shop Spiced Pumpkin Bath & Shower Gel 250ml - I love this. I had to use the last of it as bubble bath as I dropped the bottle onto the cap and smashed it. Can't buy anymore but I would if I could.
Cetaphil Restoring Body Wash 250ml - this was a full size free sample which DD used after swimming to help her eczema. It had been hanging around a long time so DD and me finished it off. I have a feeling it may be quite expensive and seeing as we get eczema products on prescription for free for DD I wouldn't buy it but would use it again as it was rather nice.
I'm sure there was another uu but I can't remember.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Oh I love this one! I'm really pale so it is a nice, slightly darker than my skin tone, colour on me which I like for a subtle look.
1 UU, another Avon bath fizz. One more to go! I've really screwed up my maths yet again! I'm not quit sure how I've managed to come up with the numbers I have, but I know that I've got 54 products left in my stash.No more goo hoarding!

One TA this afternoon:
Superdrug Strawberry and Raspberry Shower Gel 250ml: When I first smelt this product in the shop, it was lovely, but using it as a shower gel is ghastly. It smells so synthetic & sickly sweet and the colour has stained my shower puff. I have tried for two days to repurpose it as hand wash but I can't bare smelling it any longer so in the recycling it goes!0 -
A couple of TAs today: Molton Brown Coco de Mer Body Lotion and the matching shower gel. I put the body lotion on and it smelt like it had gone off. They were both years old so it's no wonder really. I will definitely not be keeping things for 'best' anymore!Thank you to everyone who posts on here0

VALM - that Tresemme haul will keep you going for a while:rotfl:
Yes, there's nothing like shopping in case of a siege is there? When we are all fighting zombies after the Apocolypse my hair will look luscious! :rotfl:Morning Ladies.
I had ins as predicted yesterday
Bourjois So Laque Nail Polish in Fashion Gris Gris - this is a really gorgeous colour and a complete dupe for Chanel Tenderly.
Nails Inc Alexa Cashmere - DD also had a manicure at the Nails Inc counter and we got a gift set with 3 mini polishes, I can't remember the names but there was a pink, a grey/blue and a nude.
Smashbox 3D Waterproof Eyeliner in Sparks - I have wanted this for ages.
Stila Dare to Bare Palette - this is one of three palettes which are exclusive to M&S I think, they have 6 eyeshadows, a shimmer and a bronzer. It is soooo pretty.
Lush Mask of Magnaminty - I got the small pot and tried it out last night, it smells really nice and my skin felt soft after, I will see if it helps with breakouts.
Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter x 2
Charlotte Tilbury Quad in Golden Goddess
Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon in Dark Pearl
I was very over excited to find out that Harvey Nichols stocked Charlotte Tilbury, I have been coveting the above for an age but wanted to see them in person. I also got some sachets of foundation from the range too.
I got a free sample of the new Bare Minerals serum foundation and a sample of the Origins Cleansing Oil.
This shopping trip could have been a lot, lot worse as me and DD spent quite a long time in Kiko which is a fantastic budget make up brand.
Very jealous of your little haul there.12) L'Occitane hand cream. WNBA as I have super dry hands and I finished the tube in a week which makes it VERY expensive.
Know what you mean. I've gone through a tube in two weeks lately too though a good tip with L'occitane is to keep a look out for these handcreams as magazine freebies. Work out much cheaper. xBack 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!
