  • Couple of quick UUs from me:

    BS coconut shimmer body butter -WDNBA - so glad to see the back of this. I slathered this all over on 2 consecutive evenings to get it used up as I was fed up of seeing it. The shimmer went all over my PJ bottoms and everything that has come out the wash subsequently has had little bits of shimmery glitter all over it! Not ideal.

    Korres almond and linseed shampoo - WMBA - did like this but wasn't the most amazing thing ever, wouldn't go out my way to repurchase but if i saw it again in tk maxx i'd probably buy it again. Smelt really nice.

    Stay strong VALM! :-)

    I hear you ladies. Must not watch tomorrow !!

    Another UU though:-

    Vaseline Spray and Go Cocoa Butter body lotion. WNBA. Not that I don't like this just prefer the application of the original lotion to this spray. I found I had to apply loads of this product to get the same moisturisation I get with the original one. I do however have another can to use up and have started that this morning as the one I UUed only coated one leg. Have opened my Philosophy Homemade Honey Buns shower gel to accompany this.
    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!

    There really is never a good time of day imo to be covered from head to foot in gold glitter :rotfl:.

    VALM - I love Homemade Honey Buns, I have the shower gel and matching body lotion, I find the Philosophy body lotions hard to come by and am reluctant to even open this but I will be doing soon and plan to use it with my Body Shop Vanilla Brulee EDT.

    Painted my nails last night with Rimmel Salon Pro Nail Colour With Lycra - Soul Session.

    A nice enough color but it is not very shiny. Trying to see the end of it.

    Sounds like a nice combo. I am also wearing Marc Jacobs Honey on top of the shower gel and lotion.

    Everything very slow going here as mostly full/larger sizes in use!

    IN
    Garnier Summer Body Lotion in light

    UU
    7ml Estee Lauder Daywear Plus. MBA, but prefer sep. SPF these days for higher factor.

    VALM - stay strong on the OPI, the glittery pink is the only one that appeals to me, so I have entered a *-bay search for it, I will either buy it at some stage or as often happens, go off the boil, either way it will save me loads of money:D

    Yay, two more UU’s for me! Both had been going for aaaages, so nice to finally finish them :)

    - Lancome Visionnaire 7ml mini – WNBA. I did actually really like this, and have already been through a full size quite happily. This mini I mainly focussed on my neck, and do think it’s looking better. But I’m not convinced it’s worth the extra money vs other serums (full size and mini were in a gift set at crazy price), so I’m not interested in investing.
    - John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder lightening shampoo – WDBA. I’m not sure this lightens your hair, but I do think it helps keep my highlights looking a little fresher. Plus it lathers well, and lasts for ages. I’m not in a rush to replace it, so I’ll wait until it’s on offer, but I will def get it again.

    Will carry on using my already open Macadamia Oil Deep Repair Mask that I love love love!

    Oooh, I must try this - I have very long hair too, and am always on the look-out for good conditioners. My current favourite is Toni&Guy Nourish Reconstruction Mask, which is often on offer in Boots, so I'll then buy 2 pots, then use them both really quickly :)

    Afternoon all
    UU an Aldi face mask/cleanser was ok but have another in the stash.

    Bought 6 bars of soap last night as down to the last couple of bars in the stash.

    BBcream is spluttering so will need cutting open soon, think it might last the month out as there's always more Left than you think.

    Hope all are well
