    Another uu:

    TBS honey mania shower gel mini - WBA smells gorgeous and lathers up beautifully. I love tbs shower gels, well worth the money.

    No UU's to report just yet but have 1 IN M&S nail care cuticle oil. Again did not buy this, it was a product I was sent to trial.

    Have still not bought a single toiletry since starting the challenge last month and am feeling very proud of myself! I can't believe how long it has been since I've set foot in boots!

    I even managed to ignore duty free last weekend when I was passing through! Feeling happier to have the money in my pocket though instead of the makeup sitting In a drawer! :)

  • I feel as though I need to LIVE in this thread! I have such a gigantic amount of toiletries...I always buy them because they're a bargain and then end up just giving them away because I have too many!

    One IN

    Aveeno Body Lotion - got a sample of this and thought it was really nice so bought a full size with a voucher (so it was free ... technically ... :D).

    One UU
    Original Source Watermelon - liked this, quite lightly-scented, WBA if I find it on offer somewhere

    Happy July beauties!

    Here's some UUs I thought would happen last month
    Organic Surge Lavender Hand Cream - WMBA - not too greasy, smelt good
    Neom Inspiring Hand Cream - this was good for last thing at night WMBA but quite expensive
    Rituals Fortune Body Scrub - Liked this quite a lot but think it's microbeads and trying to avoid those. WNBA
    Estee Lauder Illuminist (?) serum - apart from a slight sheen, not much to impress me. WNBA - came as part of free gift
    Organic Surge daily face wash - wasn't as stripping as I expected with the amount of froth it gave out. Lasted a good long time, WMBA but I am very well stocked for cleanser of all types at the mo.
    Arran Aromatics Lavender soap

    And I've got to declare an in - LIB Get the Gloss box. Think it has about 8 things in it but haven't counted too closely.

    I am at the stage of digging out the blush from around the edges of the pan so that should be gone soon. Now I can't decide whether to keep the momentum up in July by targeting some easy outs, or get seriously stuck into some of my big bottles/jars that intimidate me.

    2 more uu's:

    avon naturals acai hair souffl! mask - WBA although I think the pot is on the small side for the price. I do love the scent of this.

    impulse tease body spray - WBA nice scent, think it's red fruits or something. Had a few nice comments when I wore it, my mum fell in love with it and wanted to know what it is was I was wearing as she said she liked the scent.

    Hi all,

    I SO need to re-join the thread! I have been massively absent (although in my defence, have also not purchased many more toiletries, so that's good!)

    What I have been busy doing is moving house, getting engaged and finding out I was pregnant! So a little busy to be tracking toiletries use :rotfl::rotfl:

    *Think* I have unpacked all the boxes from house move so should be able to have a good look at toiletries left and will update :)


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.
