  • I finished my Nivea face moisturiser last night so that is another UU. I like Nivea products, but my HG is Simple for my face.

    I've got a The White Company Seychelles Shampoo to use before I go back to Herbal Essences so using that now. I did have a matching conditioner, shower gel and body lotion but I've used those up already.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)

    Hello all, been AWOL again but things more settled now and just as well.

    Ins time - A!di had the 150ml 10% Hydro Urea Foot Cream in, a summer must for me. This year I am going to alternate it with other stuff.
    I bought 450ml but I use c. 5 ml daily on my feet and lower legs, and I want it to last the summer out. It's just as good as ever, rubs in like a dream.

    I got the Expert eye gel as well, and was lucky to do so, only a couple of jars left after just four hours on sale. I am still using the one I got sent to review by the " big South American river people" but wanted a good one that wasn't going to cost £20 to replace.

    I discovered that I'd missed seeing an offer emailed to me, of a free eye gel to review on the river people website from Oznaturals. However some astute fellow reviewers are reckoning that much of their stuff is very over-rated. I'd rather cough up £4 and use something that I know works.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.

    Finally a UU from the perfume stash to declare Vera Wang Lovestruck. Smelled ok but certainly won't mention to DHs it's gone incase he replaces it as I still have 20 bottles to work my way through.

    Rather disheartened to notice that my stash has only decreased by 33 items in the last 14 months. At this rate even if I don't buy anything else I need to do some serious pampering to get to my goal of below 250 items by the end of the year.

    Few UU to report:

    Mum roll on deodorant (pink one) - WBA love the scent, lasted for ages and does a good job.

    Garner ultimate blends cocoa and coconut shampoo - WMBA not sure this did a lot for my hair but it smells quite nice.

    Super drug hand therapy intensive hand cream - WBA loved this but sadly I think it's been discontinued as I didn't see it last time I was in store. It did a good job and it smelled quite pleasant. I've got a ton of hand creams stashed but I will miss this one.

    Radox refresh 2 in 1 shower gel - WMBA like the scent but I did get bored quickly. It's handy that it's 2 in 1.

    Charlie red mini body spray - WBA I've always liked the scent. But I have more sprays stashed to UU first.

    Cien everyday coconut and vanilla conditioner - WBA this does a surprisingly good job for a bargain price. It actually made my hair soft ( providing I hadn't been swimming the night before). Smells gorgeous too.

    UU x 1 Aveda Black Malva conditioner, this is a big HG for me as it takes any red tones out of my dark brown hair. It is coloured, I am virtually white now really! I have another one in my stash.

    Thanks asajj. Yes, the site was dodgy. Should remember that old addage "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is".

    How is everyone. Have only skim read the thread since I last posted.

    Have 2 UUs but nothing exciting:-

    Vidal Sassoon hair conditioner that came with colourant. Lovely product.

    Lush Melting Snowman bath bomb. Love this as it smells of pachouli. Hope they release it again this Christmas.

    Has been a really slow month for UUs.

    Don't know if anyone else here uses Laura Geller make up but there is yet another TSV on Sunday. I am going to make an effort not to watch. My two staples from her range are Spackle and Balance N Brighten and I don't need either. Don't want any more eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner or lipstick/lipgloss either. Must resist. Besides this I've found a FB page where all these crazy women buy every LG item under the sun and then end up selling them on so if I decide I want an individual piece I may look on there or wait until I'm in the US.

    Have a lovely weekend all. No plans. Had my Saturday night last Wednesday when I went to see Olly Murs. 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!
