  • Morning!
    Two UU:

    TBS almond shower gel 250ml. Lovely stuff I wish they still made it, I have one final one in the stash then that's it.

    Boots extracts coconut body scrub 75ml. I'm not really a fan of this, it's not very scrubby.

    Have a good day all :)
  • UU's:
    Lush sugar babe body scrub from their kitchen - this stuff was amazing
    Lush french kiss bubble bar - it was nice but I have one more left in my stash and I probably won't buy it again.
    Lush - outback mate sample, probably my favourite of their new soaps after Respect your elders

    OUT's:
    Givenchy nail polish for a friend

    First UU from the PP list : LE IBST. Last of my 200ml used. Have another full sized and a few travel sizes left. Going to use up a 50ml spritzer next then going to decant into a 100ml spritzer bottle (which I need to buy from Wilkos) for my hols.
    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 INS that were needed:

    Hurraw Mint Lipbalm - really love these lipbalms, not sticky and stay on well.
    Pure Chimp shampoo bar - a new thing for me, not used a bar before but needed something natural as my psoriasis has flared up on my scalp :(

    Really impressed with the LoveLula service. Very quick free delivery.

    p.s I've had Nails Inc gel in Piccadilly Place on my fingernails for a full 4 days, hasn't even chipped! Well impressed :D

    Rather liked it and I bought it from Boots on an offer and have another one in stash. The price is really good. It absorbs quickly and easy to apply. The smell is pleasant and not "too much".

  • used up cleanser and moisturizer. neither would buy again but were free so can't complain too much. the moisturizer i used as a cleanser but it went all gritty.

    bought more rosehip oil and bought the erase paste in benifit, I tried it and waited a while, then bought it. it stayed on all day so was impressed.

    so my next target is nuxe creme merveillance- it is very filmy and rolls off the skin. so will use it as a cold cream and remove some make up with it. not loving their face range but their oils are nice.

    I think Erase Paste is really good too.

    I have a uu

    Nicky Clarke Instant Calmer 30ml - I like this but it is hard to get hold of, I have 4 this size and two full sizes in the stash for now though.

    No7 Naturally kissed moisturiser face - small tube gone and one to go. don't think I have any more after that but I will have to double check my stash!
  • Failed this weekend and on the naughty step, I have an IN to delcare. I purchased another perfume to add to my ever growing stash (now at 43). On the other hand, it wasn't retail and I also am going to put up a large makeup lot for sale today too.

    I do have this and rather like it. I should show a bit more effort to UU it soon.

    1 more UU - Oilixia Brilliance Facial Oil. I got this free from a panel to test and I was pleased with results. I stopped using it after a while though and just went back to it last month. Overall, it is a nice product. I usually don't like oils due to messy application and this has the same bottle type like other serums etc. It doesn't leave a unpleasant residue on hands when used though. It is a natural and a new brand I believe.
    Leaves the skin soft, smooth and radiant. I also received a discount coupon with it. Currently retails at £37 and I'm unsure I'd buy it as I have other oils to UU first. However, if you are looking for a natural product and don't mind paying a bit extra, this might be one to try.
