    INs: Been to Aldi this morning and bought 1 hand&nail cream and 2 packs of facial wipes x

    UU: Originals Berry Shower gel. Was a freebie, nice one MBA.

    Bumble Bumble Thickening shampoo sample sachet - Well didn't like it. My hair is a bit freezy and this didn't help. Good thing it was a freebie!

    Only 1 UU:

    BS Chocomania soap : WNBA - Too drying and the chocolate bits in soap are annoying to clean up afterwards.

    Boots Glycerin - WBA, mixed with rosewater it is a very effective toner.

    Ins:
    2 x Olive oil soaps from H & B
    Aqueous Cream
    2 x Boots nail polish remover

    Hoping to use more products when I go on holiday to Thailand :-)

    Last couple of UU's I think

    FP body whip in eggnog WNBA liked the scent to start but toward end found it rather sickly. Have another in stash which I will use on legs.

    Tango handwash in apple WNBA loved the scent but found it did not really foam and I never felt my hands clean after using it.

    I have a UU, probably the last of the month:

    Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfecter in colour 01 12ml - these are really nice, they are very comfortable on the lips like a glossy balm and they smell of cupcakes. It was a long job to finish one though and I have a full size in 03 and 05 and a mini 05 in the stash:eek:.

    I also have two ins

    Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in Nude Mauve - I have been picking this up and putting it down since they came out but this particular colour is so gorgeous and now it is mine.

    Maybelline Brow Drama in Medium Brown - this is mascara for the brows. I didn't need it and already regret buying it.:(

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • Sorry this is a bit late but just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone regarding your advice on acne. I'm going to see if my gp will change my medication and also look at some of the more natural products you've all suggested such as body shop or holland and barrett. I don't tend to wear foundation only on special occasions or if I'm going out with a friend, for everyday use I wear 2true tea tree concealer from superdrug. And I'd unfortunately struggle to cut out dairy products as I have osteoporosis and arthritis and already have an ankle fusion at 24. My surgeon said that I need to be drinking at least one pint of milk everyday (I hate it so I try to get it through milk in hot drinks, yogurt and cheese). I was put on calcium tablets after my fusion nut they have stopped those now it has healed. It'd be interesting to see if the dairy is contributing.
