No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries April 2015

asajj

Painted my nails last Saturday with Borjous SOlaque Glossy - 04 Amanda defile (some of those nail color names...)

It is supposed to be last up to 10 days. Yeh right. 2 days and had to re-do twice and tonight I have noticed it chipped massively I had to take off.
I bought it from reduce the clear isle. May be it is about to go out of date?

Regardless, nice color though!

I have a massive issue with hangnails. I have been trying almond oil. Creams won't cut it. Any suggestions?

Ha! I have the same problem. I read an article that said choose your favourite/best one to help get you in the habit of using it and then hopefully it will get easier

The trouble is as it gets that little bit warmer you just don't want to use it, I find its ok in the winter but need suncream in the summer and I'm not using both. Used body butter tonight and feeling slippery to say the least! Another UU Timotei vivid colour shampoo, I can't possibly have anymore UU for at least a week surely!

Sorry you're feeling under the weather however good job on starting the exercise regime and the Jillian Michaels one too! I bow down to you. Every week I keep saying I'm going to start exercising.

She is a bit hardcore isn't she?! haha I haven't exercised for far too long and since i've started a more natural approach to healthy eating (using honesty healthy, deliciously Ella etc) I thought i better get with the exercising too really!

Ouch. That sounds awful I hope that it heals very soon. This may be an odd question but do you drink your green smoothie with a straw? I always do as I got it into my head it would be better for my teeth (no idea if that's true! :rotfl:) but I wondered if it would help you minimise contact with your ulcer.

As VALM said, well done on exercising! The two things that I need to do asap are resume drinking green smoothies and try a very short yoga or pilates session, so you are way ahead of me!

I also love Nuxe skincare. It's incredibly gentle and lovely. I'm not using any at the moment but you reminded me to dig out my moisturiser for combination skin

Thanks Willowbee, funnily enough I tried the straw this morning, think I needed a wider straw though as it was quite a thick smoothie.

This has been a very recent thing, I got a nutri ninja blender which has made smoothie making part of my morning routine, you can add lots of things to it and not even realise you're eating it (like chia seeds, tofu, spinach etc) which is what I like the most!

Amongst this lot is another shower gel sample, which I've left out so I can get it used. But there's more in it than the one I used today, so I'm going to have to try and split it between 2 (or even 3) showers !

I'm going to try and sort myself out a foot treatment routine as well, as I have various products for that which won't otherwise get used at all

TA a sample of clarins BB, didnt like the texture tbh so wont be going out buying that!

Hi ladies! I hope you are well! I'm enjoying a very relaxing day off today and currently watching lots of garden birds eating from our window feeder

I have 3 UUs today:

TBS Strawberry Hand Cream 30ml: This came in my advent calender and I love it! The scent isn't sickly and a little goes a long way! WDBA.

TBS Shea Shower Cream 60ml: Another advent UU - this is my favourite scent from TBS but I think their shower gels are over priced for what they are - WMBA with a discount code as it smells lovely and lathers up well.

Tesco Cleansing Facial Wipes for Sensitive Skin: Some of you may remember that I was sent a whole bunch of wipes to try as part of a beauty trial - I UUed the rubbish Olay ones last month. Unfortunately these wipes weren't that much better; I prefer slightly fragranced wipes and these were fragrance free and they needed some moisture added to them in order to be useful. WNB.

Managed to get the lid off my Aldi eye cream and it was just about empty! Surprised as normally there's always plenty in the tube once it starts spluttering.
I had enough for 1 application and have chucked the bottle in the bin. I have another tube to use in my stash. Think I WBA as so many people have recommended it and it is reasonably priced although now only available on their special offers.
