    Just had a bit of a pamper session and used up a sachet of hair conditioner and a sachet of nutrisummer. Made a couple of tubes splutter a bit more while I was in the bathroom. Should get through the PP list easily at this rate.

    15ml Gatineau Melatogenine Force Collagene. Have another.

    I have this and not sure if I am using it correctly, as I never see any difference.

    Is it an instant filler type product or does it need regular use?

    Thanks

    I bought the hair dye. And 3 packs of make up wipes as I'm very specific over which ones I buy and they were on a great offer. I know I'll UU so I'm deaming it okay.

    100% going to sort out though, I've recently changed my diet to include no animal products and have UU all cleaning products and now make my own. Time to do the same toiletries wise.

    Welcome rdone. You sound like you understand the principles of this challenge already in that you bought items that you know you use and on a great offer.

    Also, if you don't stash hair dye don't beat yourself up about it.

    I know what you mean about L'occitane prices but I don't consider them so expensive when you factor in how long each product lasts. I never need to use much product. Which kit did you get?

    Pootle, I have used this product in the past and loved it though I'm not sure that I applied it correctly as I found it worked better on top of moisturiser rather than underneath. It made my skin so smooth however I found it too expensive to keep replacing as the bottle only lasted me a month. I keep seeing it on duo deals on QVC and keep dithering about buying it again.

    To answer your question I noticed a difference on first application.
    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!

    Two more TAs:

    Avon Professional Colour Corrector Palette - this is completely pants, a waste of money. Very sheer, doesn't cover or correct blemishes, and creases badly.

    Elizabeth Arden lipstick - tried to start using it up - quite a frosty finish, which is quite unflattering. Probably why I stopped using it the first time! It's got such a weird texture now, almost flaky, from being so old. Not worth pursuing !

  • I have my first UU of May to report: Impulse Romantic Spark body spray. I rarely use body sprays and this was only a mini version but it has lasted for such a long time that I'm quite relieved it has finally been used up!
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)

    Famous last words! :rotfl:ETA: that was supposed to have been a quick reply to Mrs-MP[/B, clearly I haven't got the hang of the new forum layout yet :o]

    Instead of compiling my PP list I have spent this afternoon watching YT, pampering myself and enjoying the peace and quiet before all five children descend for the weekend. Time well spent, I think you'll all agree ;)
