    Couple of UUs for me this weekend.

    Faith in Nature Jojoba conditioner - it's funny because when I boughtthis back before I had transitioned to natural hair and I didn't think much to it but I used up the remaining 1/2 bottle in the past fortnight (I'm trying to retain moisture my co-washing daily) and I actually really liked it. Probably WBA. I'm currently working my way through the Aloe Vera conditioner which I don't like as much.

    NSPA Shea Butter shower creme - WNBA. I found this very drying and the smell was nothing special.

    Real Techniques Stippling Brush - I'm actually gutted about this because I only bought it last Summer but I kept getting brush hairs stuck all over my face when trying to apply my foundation. Then, a massive clump came out last week and the brush looks lopsided now. WDNBA and am now looking for another foundation application tool so any suggestions ladies, I'm all ears (or eyes :rotfl:).

    UU's

    30 Sunny side bubble bar WNBA like the scent but not the glitter

    31 avobath ballistic WBA love this one but rarely buy it.

    32 sheet mask WBA nice enough
  • UU for me No7 completely quenched moisturising body lotion
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    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
  • Another UU from yesterday - Tesco shave gel. HG, although it's gone up in price somewhat.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)

    Morning Ladies.

    I have a few uu

    Boots No7 Completely Quenched Body Lotion - this is a thick cream really, I love the scent and WBA. Have replaced it with the another one the same from the stash.

    Clarins One Step Water Purifying Cleanser 100ml - this has mint in and smells lovely, it did a reasonable job as a first cleanse but I don't think I would bother buying it.

    Aromatherapy Associates Support Breathe Lavender & Peppermint Bath Oil 10ml.

    Lanolips Rose Balm Everyday Hand Cream - this was without doubt the most hideous hand cream ever. I used it as foot cream but still hated it, the smell is powdery rose and is truly horrible. This was expensive too.

  • Hi everyone! A few UUs for me:

    Random Hotel Body Lotion

    Superdrug Skin Soft Intensive Body Lotion 250ml: Another of my discontinued stash of body lotions - nothing special but quite watery.

    TBS Moringa Shower Gel 60ml: Still can't decide if I like this scent as it is very floral. Probably WNBA.

    Beauticology Vanilla Frosting Body Butter 50ml: Far too sweet smelling for my liking and took a while to sink into my skin. WNBA.


    I also have a couple of INs:

    Original Source Skin Quench Blackcurrant and Moringa Oil Shower Gel 250ml: This was a competition win and I'm excited to try it!

    Calvin Klein Reveal EDP 50ml & Body Lotion x2 100ml: I've wanted this perfume for ages and I finally got a brilliant price for the 50ml gift set plus a free GWP full size body lotion so I'm happy!

    Neutrogena hand cream 50ml
    Sainsburys nail polish remover
    various foundation sachets/travel tubes
    L'Occitane shea hand cream 30ml
    YSL brown Babydoll mascara
    [STRIKE]Lush Ponche shower gel 100ml
    Shower gel that I brought back from cruise - can't for the life of me remember the brand name[/STRIKE]
    Elemis Frangipani shower cream
    Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator
    Decleor Herbal Clay Mask

    Reviewing the PP list: the nail polish remover has gone to be replaced by two bottles. Firstly bought a bottle of Carex as I love this one however Emma had a mishap on Sunday with her contact lenses and long acrylic nails so had to buy a bottle of acetone based remover for her to soak the acrylics off.
    Bit naughty and went to boots yesterday and got a Lorel hair mask, although my hair could really do with a good conditioning treatment, plus I had enough points on my card to buy it so that was a bonus! :D

    This reminds me I picked up a cheapie £1. Argan oil hair treatment from Pound Stretcher. Emma loves it. Me not so much. Couldn't feel any difference.

    I have a uu

    OPI Avoplex To Go - WNBA, I have another in the stash but which I will use but I find it quite drying and about 2/3 of the way through it changed from an oil to a gel.

    I don't like this one either. It always goes gloopy when squeezing the product out of the tube.
    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!

    An IN - a serum to test for 4 weeks, but it does say that moisturiser has not to be used :eek: which I find a bit odd.
    I always used serum under moisturiser and I always use one with SPF, so not sure how I'll manage this :o

    posted I received this last week - OMG :eek: it smells just awful, completely rank.
    I can smell it on myself and the smell is really lingering. So far not noticed any difference but really don't think I can put up with this any longer. :mad:
    BF commented last night :eek:
    Has anyone else received a 4 week serum from Alba Science and does yours smell as bad?
    Should I contact the company as I really can't face using it again. :eek:
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Now that I've caught up with fess up to some INs although technically not INs as they are mostly make up and I don't count these in my stash.

    The TBS order arrived at weekend. All products for Emma.

    Went into town on Saturday for Emma's eye test and went into Boots. Only went in for the bottle of non acetone nail polish remover and came away with :-

    No 7 lipstick, highlighter, lipliner and eyeshadow trio which got us 2 GWP.

    Also bought a set of S&G body sprays for Emma.

    Damn Boots with their offers!
