  • Another IN:
    Nice N Easy 5G brown

    However it then turned into an UU:
    Nice N Easy 5G Brown x2 (dyed my hair extentions too!!)
    Read my diaryHere :)
  • Some UUs for me:

    Olay Wet Cleansing Wipes: Hated these wipes - made my skin itchy, smelt awful and were bone dry! WNBA.

    TBS Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash 100ml: Love the smell of this but not sure if it did anything special for me skin. WBA.

    Superdrug Soft Skin Intensive Body Lotion 250ml: Another from my discontinued stash - too runny so WNBA.


    Out of curiosity, has anyone ever used sea salt spray on their hair? Was it any good?
  • 6 INs. They feel naughty but I think they were all necessary.

    • OST C20 vit c serum – HG, already my skin has that "glow" back
    • Dove Bubble Bath – no bath products left and I can't do without my luxurious baths!
    • Garnier Hand repair cream – was using a freebie sun tan lotion as hand cream, but it seems to be destroying my hands so a new hand cream was really needed. I just hope it's good enough to undo the damage!
    • Avocado Oil
    • Safflower Oil – going to mix the two for my OCM
    • Eucerin Replenishing face cream 5% urea – ran out of day moisturiser a while ago and was working my way through samples that I have, but I started getting spots from some of them so decided to stick to just one.

    Hopefully no new items for a while now, I'm back up to 50 items.
    No more goo hoarding!

    Spoke too soon. Another UU : Elemis jasmine and rose milk bath. Can tolerate this fragrance when added to my bath with something else (Bomb Cosmetics ballistic). WNBA. Think I have more in stash though x
    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!

  • Hi ladies, I have created a new thread for April. I look forward to hearing about all of the UUs (and a couple of naughty INs no doubt!) next month! Thread is HERE
  • I have INS to report...

    Boots Coconut&Almond Intensive Hair mask - £1.59 - No idea why I bought this, it was 20% off but my hair stash is huge!

    Gillette Venus Snap with Embrace £4.99 - I have razors/blades but I was gifted 4xvenus spa breeze blades with the shave gel already in and this is perfect for gym/travelling. And yes. I already have a Venus razor.. I still haven't learned have I? *sigh*

    Oh and the 4x Venus Spa Breeze Razors FREE.
  • two UUs!
    Sisley radiant glow express facial mask - this stuff is really really expensive so I was expecting a lot, and was a bit let down. Doesn't even smell that great.

    Was this the same one that was in the John Lewis beauty box? I was tempted as know the products are expensive but glad I didn't now. I agree with Dolly sometimes I wonder where they get these prices from!

    sorry been missing RL is getting in the way. Have been applying for loads of jobs and getting really fed up of not progressing anywhere. :( I really don't know what they are looking for. 1 job I applied recently I'd also applied last year, I looked back on my application form as I thought well that didn't work so needed to make it different. Still got it rejected.
    Applied for a maternity cover role, knew I could do it with my eyes closed. The organisation called me up to thank me for applying but said I was too highly qualified. I knew that but it still doesn't help. :(

    Sorry you're struggling asset it's really frustrating when you feel out of control in situations like these. I really hope you find something soon, what line of work are you in?
