1 UU and 1 IN.
UU – Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb, very nice!
IN – Herbal Essences clarifying shampoo. Really not happy with y hair at the moment. It's looking frizzy and weighed down with product. Was going to get a new shampoo and conditioner set but seeing as I have loads left in the ones I've got I thought it might make more sense to use a clarifying shampoo instead, that way I can get rid of the product build up but use up the stuff I have before I try something else.No more goo hoarding!

Hope everyone had a good weekend.
I had a flurry of UUs:
13/33. Scholl Velvet Smooth Intense Serum 30ml - WMBA, did the job
14/34. S&G Foam Call 500ml - WBA, lathered well and lovely refreshing scent. Really enjoyed using this after a break from S&G products.
15/35. Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief 30ml - GWP and WMB, did the job and was light enough for my combination skin. I have another in my gym bag already in use.
16/36. Sanctuary Gentle Cream Exfoliator 100ml - probably WNBA, this was bought several years ago on a glitch and was a real LHJ. Did the job ok but think I prefer gel-based versions. Another stashed.MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -
Have put together PP list:-
[STRIKE]Elemis Pro Intense Lift Effect Serum
LE C&P 200ml[/STRIKE]
LE IBST 200ml
Neutrogena hand cream 50m
[STRIKE]LE hand repair 30ml[/STRIKE]
Sainsburys nail polish remover
[STRIKE]OPI Nail Envy
LUSH Hot Toddy
Gilchrist & Soames body lotion [/STRIKE]
various founfation sachets/travel tubes
Another UU from the PP list:-
200ml C&P. A HG product again. Like using this to remove make up at night. Have another 200ml that has just come with the latest TSV plus a 30ml tube and 50ml pump in my stash. Am hoping to save these two little ones for my holiday later in the year.
4 more UUs not on the list:-
Lush Holly Golightly bubble bar. Love love love this product. Emma has donated one from her stash to me which I'm pleased about. Am hoping they will release this again next Christmas.
L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap. Family HG. Have Eco-Refill ready to replenish this.
Green Frog hand wash. This has been in our kitchen for ages. Picked this up at a reduced price from a garden centre and WPNBA. I have a Sanctuary hand wash to replace this and once that's gone will decant some L'occitane Verbena liquid soap into a smaller pump bottle for the kitchen.
L'occitane shea hand cream 10ml. I am not usually a fan of this hand cream as I don't particularly like the fragrance or texture but this has been a godsend in this awful cold weather as my left hand is so dry. Have pulled another out of the stash to put in my handbag. Do need to get the Neutrogena one on my list UUed though. Have had it on my desk at work however it keeps on giving!!
Returning to my PP list I think I will only finish off the IBST now before the end of the month as I only have a few squirts of it left.
I do have INs to confess to. We went to the Trafford Centre on Friday night and MrM treated me to a bottle of Jo Malone Dark Amber and Ginger Lily cologne and the dry body oil. Very very nice. I know I am very lucky and spoilt.
I bought myself a bottle of OPI Suzi Shops and Island Hops which is lovely baby pink. Did see the other Hawaii colours too and am going to try and hold out for the QVC kit when it is available again.
Also bought two bottles of the new Aussie shower gels but not too impressed by the fragrances. They both smell like bubble gum. I couldn't smell anything when I was in the supermarket and bought them as good fragrance free gels to go with the Jo Malone perfume.
I have had a couple of NPIs too. Something (and I am praying that it is not the Jo Malone fragrance) caused a rash on my chest on Saturday. The only cream I could think to apply to sooth it was my Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser and I then got to thinking that I should use this on my neck and decolletage anyway rather than buying a neck cream. Am going to continue to use it nightly and see if there is any difference. If not, in March there is a Flora Mare TSV due on QVC and if it contains the neck cream and the Skin Repair has not worked I will get this. I had been toying with the idea of ordering the neck cream soon in any case so this has put this off for now.
Was thinking of trying another fragrance free shower gel but have found samples of body wash in my stash that I got on the cruise that don't smell of much so am using these instead.Back 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!

Unexpected INs
Hand made soap gift from mom from her holiday
Hair conditioner she did not like and I do.0 -
Another UU:
17/37. Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy 25g - this came in the free M&S beauty box and I expected not to like it but I was pleasantly surprised - liked the scent and it was very moisturising without being greasy. WMBA once the stash is used up - I'm making decent progress with hand creams, and am now actually able to start to believe I will one day have UU'd them all - which I never dreamed could be possible!MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -
Unexpected UU - Faith In Nature mouisturizer cream. Bought this from Oxfam previously and it is very gentle, nice cream. Also Made in Manchester! MBA but it isn't cheap !ally.0

I have a couple of uu to report
Elemis Lavender Toner 200ml - this was a LHJ but a nice one, it is in a spray which makes it much more :money:. I have replaced it with a Clarins toner. WBA but I have one more in the stash plus other toners too.
Facial Oil - this was a 20ml bottle sent for testing, it was really nice but had a lot of fragrance in it and for that reason I WNBA even if I knew the name.
VALM - I had a sniff of the new Aussie shower gels but wasn't keen, they smell like the shampoo which I don't hate but don't love.
Sundaysgirl - I love the C&E hand creams, in fact I like most of their products.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
