    2 more UUs

    Sanctuary Gentle Polish Body Scrub For what they are, I find Sanctuary a bit overpriced. They also don't last long.
    Regardless, a lovely scrub. I buy them when there is a deal generally and I have another one that I'm using currently.

    Balance Me Shower Gel: This was a mag freebie. I think it was just ok. I'm not sure I'd pay the full price for it though.

    Did you get the deal from boots that's running now. You get a free gift set if you spend £10 so £22.50 of stuff for £10 or more. I only paid £6 as I had vouchers.

    Actual mortgage stating amount £75,150

    Overpayment paused to pay off cc 

    Starting balance £66,565.45

    Current balance £58,108

    Cc around 8k.

    Another UUS

    L'Occitane whipped Shea hand cream. WNBA a unless a mag freebie. This applies to all their Shea hand creams. I much prefer the Lavender one. Not sure how many hand creams I still have in stash but know I don't need to buy one.

    Happy Easter everyone. Am waiting for Emma and MRM to get ready as we are eating out.
    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!

    A UU and a couple of INS:

    UU -
    - Aussie 3 minute miracle light mousse - WNBA. Liked the smell of this and the concept of a mousse conditioner, but found that it made it easy to use too much. Also, for some reason even when not pressing the button the product would ooze out, therefore this only lasted about 1/4 of the time it should have.

    INS -
    - L'Oreal Expertise Pure Colour Shampoo x 2 - I couldn't find my HG of the 'Nourishing and Flowing' version, so picked this up to try. Hoping it is the same quality as the other.
    - L'Oreal Expertise Pure Colour Conditioner.

    Products: 57


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    2 UU to report -

    Clairol 5 in 1 chamomile conditioner - WBA my hair liked this and it made it feel softer. Smelt pleasant and lasted for ages.

    Tesco Shea and almond senses bath soak - WBA this smelt gorgeous and made lots of bubbles, thought this was a bargain. I'm sad the bottle is finished however I do have a ton of other bubble baths stashed to UU before I can buy any more of this!

    Tesco spa body lotion mini - WNBA didn't really like the smell of this, it was ok, I used it up by taking it to work for sleep ins. Glad it was only a mini size.

    Eta need to update my list to include ins from eBay bargains and the fragrance direct order, still sat on the naughty step. Still waiting for my order though.

    Morning all.

    I have a couple of uu's

    L'oreal Extraordinary Oil 100ml - this lasted forever. It was nice enough but definitely not extraordinary. WMBA.

    Cowshed Wild Cow Body Lotion 100ml - really sorry to see this go, it came in a beauty box and it smelt gorgeous. The name of the brand suggests it would be cheap but I believe it is actually quite expensive. WBA at a good price.

    TA - A Soap & Glory Sexy Motherpucker lip gloss/chubby stick thing in Bashful. Far too cool toned and pink for my skin toned.

    Afternoon.

    UU's
    1Red fun WNBA don't like the product

    2 Green fun WNBA don't like the product

    3 cinders bath ballistic WBA a favourite scent of mine.

    4 Foot mask WBA I like the peeling effect, but not the clear up or having to wear socks in bed when they start to shred.

    Heads and shoulders scalp conditioner treatment, for some reason it not on my list so won't count it as an out. WMBA it did leave my hair very silky.

    5 sold on eBay

    Been on a bit of a shopping spree will list when they arrive. Still have one purchase I will make at the end of the week then I will go on a shopping ban till something else tempts me. I have got you beauty box this month as I quite liked their selection and cohorted beauty box which I am looking forwards to. Will go and sit on the naughty step.

    *Dashes in*

    Hellllooooooooooo everyone! I hope you are all stuffed full of chocolate! :EasterBun

    Another UU: John Freida Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Shampoo.

    WIBA? It's OK. But no better than that. And it's pretty pricey, so over we go to Creighton's Blonde Shampoo and let's hope that it does better as it's only 99p a bottle and my hair *loves the conditioner*

    A UU a lush bathbomb. Not sure what it was I've had it ages, it was pale pink but turned the water emerald green with red sparkles.
