    I went to TKMaxx last weekend and came home without spending a penny. I had a jar of Gingerbread bath salts in my hand for ages but put them down, so many of the brands in there are their own brand and I'm not sure about the prices. You have to really know your prices for things before you buy.

    I have a couple of uu

    Avon Far Away EDP 30ml - I really like this and this little travel size was about £3 ish before my rep discount so I bought two. It is very distinctive and long lasting for a cheapy. WBA

    L'Occitane Verbena Body Lotion 75ml - what a pain this was to get out of the bottle, the bottle just crushed in my hand and the ridiculous milk churn style cap would not come off. Lovely lotion though.

    Another UU - sensual grey shower gel. This came in a gift set ages ago. I really like the thick texture of it, it feels luxurious but unfortunately the scent wasn't really something I enjoyed. Shame :-( . If the scent was as nice it would be a winner. WNBA.

    I have another uu and some ins

    UU - Pears Soap - WBA

    In - Revlon Cherries in the Snow Lipstick
    Revlon Cherries in the Snow Nail Polish
    Sally Hansen Plums the Word Nail Polish
    Biore Charcoal Facial Cleanser


    These were on 3 for 2 at Boots and I paid in points.

    I will also have some more ins soon but it may be April. I used some birthday money to buy a Nails Inc set, 3 x gel polishes, 1 base coat and 1 holographic top coat. It was just under £20 and the gel polishes on their own are £14, I ummed and aahed for ages but went for it in the end.

    I won't have anymore ins for March so I will declare March ins as 11 and uu/outs/sold stands at 38 at the moment. I should finish a couple more things though.

    Asset - I hope that someone gives you a job very soon. Xx

    Two small UUs for me

    Melvita Rose Floral Water (28ml) - WMBA. Nice, simple and in a useful refillable spray bottle :)

    Origins Zero Oil Deep pore cleanser with Saw Palmetto & Mint (30ml) - WBA as I really liked this. Left my face feeling clean but not at all tight. I didn't notice any miraculous effect on my pores though. Have tonnes of other cleansers to UU first before I can even consider buying this :(

    2 more IUs for me. One from PP list : Decleor Herbal Clay Mask. HG product but I now have a Balance Me mask and LE mask in stash so won't replace this yet.

    Also UUed tub of LE Skin Repair moisturiser. Another HG product and have more in stash.

    My new OPI colours came yesterday. Am wearing Do you take lei away which is lovely. Love all the new colours so really pleased with kit.

    Also went shopping in Boots. Bought 2 x bottles of Seche Vite and big tub of Sanctuary Spa body souffl!. Smells both floral and fruity to me so should be able to use it with anything. Bought these three items to get triple points.
    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!

  • I was naughty. I bought the Coppafeel Peachy shower/bath cream. I couldn't resist the peach, and it's for a good cause.

    Also picked up a replacement concealer (maybelline stay fresh) because mine is on the way out, and a transparent eyebrow gel to control my brows - something I haven't owned before but wanted. Also, shaving gel - generic cheap boots brand - because I suspect the last pump finished the tube, but I only ever use a tiny glob so didn't want to repump to test it and potentially waste it if it wasn't quite done.
