    2 more UU tonight :)

    Oz botanics serious volume conditioner- Wnba this actually originally wasn't mine, it was abandoned by my mum in my shower, I told her she'd left it in the downstairs shower and she told me to just use it up. So I did. Wouldn't buy it for myself, it was quite watery and although the scent was ok I don't think it really did much for my hair. I don't need to add volume either, my hair is ridiculously thick already.

    Elvive nutri gloss shampoo- WBA I really liked this. Elvive stuff seems to suit my hair, doesn't dry it out. Smells nice too.

    I have some uu's

    Clinique Moisture Surge 15ml - WBA, I do like this and have been buying it off and on for quite a while.

    Yes To Carrots Nourishing Mask 50ml - WBA at £2 which is what I paid for this and the other one still lurking in the stash. It is a clay mask and leaves my skin nice and soft.

  • Hi all, here's an update. I have two IN's Spot Gel & Face Mask from Superdrug. Since becoming Vegan I have become quite spotty. My PP list so far.

    1.Centreparcs Shampoo Done WNBA
    2.
    Hotel Shower Gel Done WNBA
    3. Superdrug Eye Cream Done WNBA

    4. Jean Paul Gautier Perfume
    5. Avon Hand Cream Done WNBA
    6. Clinque Chubby Stick Done WNBA

    The perfume is hanging on. I think it will gone in two days, it's only taken me five years to use that up :eek:. The oldest was the Hand Cream and that must have been 6 years old. Thankfully it didn't go off. :)
  • UU big bottle of Snow Fairy, have one more in the stash:T Popped into the 99p shop and got 2 x Timotei vivid colour conditioners and 1 shampoo. Like to keep a few in stock as they don't always have them in stock.
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    A UU today, Avion active breathe roll on deodorant- Wnba this didn't last long and I didn't really like the scent. Did do an ok job as a deodorant but there are just as good ones that I like the scent of better, I prefer the on duty bloom one from Avon.

    Seaside dreamer you've reminded me that I need to dig out my little bottle of snow fairy soon. I want to re purchase this in the Xmas sale if I can, and I don't want my bottle to go off! I love it so much I've been saving it!

    Hi all.

    I have a uu

    Weleda Baby Derma White Mallow Face Cream 50g - DS and me used this, it is lovely to use but the metal tube is wasteful and awkward so WNBA for that reason.

  • Two UUs for me today:

    COLAB Rio Dry Shampoo 200ml: HG - WDBA.

    Simple Cleansing Face Wipes: Nice, fresh wipes but I only buy Simple ones if they are a great price as the Superdrug ones are just as good.

    Somebody up there likes me. I was running out of wipes last week, then got offered two packs to review from Am@zon. I should mention that we are only allowed five items out to review at a time. Luckily toiletries are a quick review that can always be updated with further thoughts.

    My other moment of joy was being offered two really lovely Garnier dry oil sprays. I had Avon just for the dry oil sprays, in theory, and always spent a small fortune on anything and everything else.

    So that's me sorted on absolutely everything toiletries related until December. Possibly January, as I intend to use body butter for my feet when my foot cream runs out, now that I have these lovely items.

    A couple of UUs from the weekend:

    5/145. Cussons Mum & Me Head to Toe Body Wash 500ml - final one, this is fine but wouldn't go out of my way to buy again unless on glitch as this was. Used for shaving my legs!

    6/146. No7 Facial Aftersun 50ml - probably WNBA, did the job but a bit too shimmery for my liking. Used as moisturiser to get rid.

    I have a few splutterers and am away this weekend so hoping to get to 10 UUs by the end of the month. It's slow going but all in the right direction!

    Kind of needed the UU as more old bare minerals QVC TSVs arrived in our tkmaxx and my HG foundation in exactly my shade was in it and for £3 more then id pay for the pot of that alone there was the full size clear radiance that i mix in with my foundation thats £19 a pop, a full size of my possibly new HG mascara, full size eyebrows pencil and full size concealer in my shade that I've paid £22 for in the past along with a brush so it would have been silly to leave them there as i get through all that anyway as its all stuff i currently wear for work. i bought two in the end as i found two in my shade but i know they will definitely get used up :doh:

    You're so lucky. Every time I see the Bare Essentials kits in tkmaxx they are in deep shades.
    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!
