    Lush pink fun
    Lush ultraviolet bubble bar
    Lush golden egg bath bomb
    Lush yummy mummy shower gel

    And now for uu:
    Garnier moisture match sample (normal skin): nice enough, moisturised my skin well and still felt soft the morning after, wmba
    La Roche Posay effeclar toner: wnba as only available in effeclar duo set, and the other products are not suitable for my skin
    Liz Earle eye bright: nice and cooling after working on computer all day or if eyes are tired and itchy, wmba
    The body shop vitamin e spf 15 face cream: sunk in well before makeup application and I like a cream with spf, wba
    The body shop honey body scrub sample: nice scent but not scrubby enough for my liking! Wnba but would try other products in the honey range
    Soap and glory sugar crush body scrub: love the scent, smells like mojito :) very grainy so scrubs well, wba when on offer
    L'occitane Angelica face cream sample: liked this until I applied makeup on top, my primer and cc cream balled up and did not apply smoothly, wnba

    Am trying to use up samples I have lying around!
    No buying unnecessary toiletries!

    I repainted my nails last night in Maybelline Nude Rose - my all time favourite nude pink.


    Thank you!! :)
    I started doing this a while ago (Didn't know about this post) I've been decantering shower gels and things into my soap bottles when they run out to save a bit of money on buying soap as I have LOADS of shower gels especially after Christmas!!

    Few UUs for me today :T

    Superdrug cleansing facial wipes for sensitive skin. WBA and already have some more in the stash by have some Nivea wipes to use up first.

    Garnier Bidy Intensive Nourishing Lotion with mango oil. This was nice but very light for winter so WMBA for summer.

    Mixed Chicks leave in conditioner for kids. I am not a kid and bought this when the shop was out of the adults version. Wouldn't. Up again purely because I prefer the scented adult one and this is unscented but is still a great leave in.

    Some INs and OUTs to report. Will get round to updating list at some point too!

    IN:

    Finally got round to using my next voucher from Christmas today so I got:

    Next sparkle perfume
    Next boutique glam perfume

    Love them both already but I feel a need to stock up now as next always discontinue the ones I really like, that happened with the next forever love one I was obsessed with :-/

    And stocked up on mouthwash in super drug as I was really impressed with the one I UU. So got 2 x super drug pro care sensitive mouthwash.

    Also got super drug pure micellar water to try, as I want something a bit more cleansing when I'm on the long overnight week ends at work where I can't easily get a bath or shower, and can only have washes, I feel like I need something a bit better than face wipes before I go to bed. At home I normally use a face wipe to get rid of make up as I can have a bath or shower.

    And I tried a sample of garnier moisture match for dry skin and loved it and the scent. I haven't reacted to it so I bought some in superdrug.

    OUT:

    Boots fresh Banana split body wash - like the scent but I have another anyway in stash.

    Boots fresh banana bath crystals - again like the scent, another in stash to use up.

    Loccitane shower gel - didn't like the scent so WNBA.

    Tesco extracts Shea bath fizzer - like this a lot, WBA in future. None of this scent left but have 2 left in the blackberry scent to try in stash.

    Soft and gentle orchid and passionflower - fine scent ok, does the job. WMBA.

    Boots extracts cocoa butter body butter - HG product I love the scent and the texture and everything about it. It's really rich and just lovely :-D got a big one and another two minis in stash so don't need to buy more yet but definitely will when those have been used.

    The boots mango butter mini is nearly finished too, won't be long with that one.

    Eta: threw away the opi avo juice mango at work the other day as was spluttering then finally finished, I have others in the set to use up would probably buy this set again as they are handy for work and smell good.

    GA:

    Given away the NSPA coconut ice cream shower gel to my mum.

    Finally got our new boiler so I'm off shortly to have a long hot soak as my arthritis in my ankle is killing me tonight and I've got a raging cold. Hoping the heat will ease the pain a little. Going to rifle through my bath bomb stash I think :D
