Evening all, have a few uus from my hols in Thailand:
Superdrug SPF 15 sun lotion: WMBA, did not leave a white residue on my skin.
Eslor collagen anti-ageing firming cream: Received in a glossy box and is the best face cream I've used. A little goes a long way and received many compliments about my skin. Not sure I can justify £87 cost of the full size product though.
Montagne Jeunesse ginseng & jasmine sauna face mask:WBA, this face mask heats up when you apply it to your face leaving the skin feeling very soft.
Waterwipes: WMBA if on offer as it is quite expensive but can be used on sensitive skin as it is not perfumed.
Ins:
Stocked on a few beauty products in Thailand:
3 x Jasmine soaps
3 x aloe vera gels
4 x essential oils0 -
An UU -
Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It - WNBA - this was not 'grainy' enough for me and I much prefer the No7 Micro-exfoliator scrub, and it is not as expensive as when on offer.

UU the Nivea powder touch roll on deodorant up. It's fine does the job but I do prefer the smell of the pearl and beauty one. Still, WBA anyway I like the Nivea ones and always pick them up on offer. I bought some more deodorants in Morrissons a couple of week ago as they had really good offers on, I must find the bag and declare at some point. I never feel bad buying them as I seem to go through them quite quickly. I'm using the Mitchum one now.
I'm really liking the micellar water I bought from super drug to try. I did Friday through to yesterday at work without being able to go home and shower as I was on sleep ins plus 16 hour shifts. Only able to have a wash. I must say the micellar water made me feel like my face was a lot cleaner and took off my makeup better than the wipes I use at home. I think I will continue to buy this for work. So far so good :-)No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

I don't think I did a final post for February
Outs
1 x nivea primer - love that stuff
1 x batiste tropical
In
1 x nivea facial wash - was a birthday present but not sure if I'm allergic to it
1 x holiday sized simple facial wash - also a pressie
1 x Rimmel matte bb cream in very light. It's not that matte but the colour is decent. It's a glorified tinted moisturiser really but for £6 I'm really happy with it
1 x lily lolo foundation in China doll. I used tons of foundation last month as I had an awful reaction to something at the hairdressers and had contact dermatitis for 3 weeks and had to cover it up. So I'm nearly out and this is the one in to replace the one I've nearly used up
1 x lily lolo finishing powder - not arrived yet but I'm going to see if I can get away with this over bb cream in the summer
1 x naturals shampoo
1 x naturals conditioner - this was to help with the dermatitis which is also still in my hair. Major allergic reaction going on. I think it was an argon oil treatment that I'm allergic to
1 x la Roche -Posay ANTHELIOS FACE ULTRA-LIGHT FLUID SPF50+ 50ml - I have every type of sunscreen except facial sunscreen which I need desperately as I managed to get burnt at Easter last year. It was on offer. Not received it yet though
Bought no shower gel or toothpaste tho still - go me0 -

asset - I would stop using the serum and contact the company, if it causes a reaction it can take ages to clear up.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

UU
33, Yves rocher vanilla shower gel WNBA I really liked the previous bottle but this not so much, ended up using it as hand wash to finish.
TA
34, FCS Peep show massage bar WNBA really did not like this, it just sat on your skin and never seemed to soak in. I cut off a chunk to use as a bath melt and it did not melt ( in really hot water).0 -
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:
Yes you definitely shouldally.0 -
In my haste to post the other day I forgot to mention my lovely Mother's Day gift which is a Chanel Amour lipgloss. V v v v nice. I gave Emma my old Smashbox Lovely lipgloss to try and get a dupe and this is what she got. It's actually a cross between this one and Clinique Melon Sky that I used to love as well. I'm a very happy bunny.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!
