    1.No 7 Protect&Perfect Day Cream
    2.The Body Shop Wild Cherry Shower Gel
    3.The Body Shop Wild Cherry Body Butter

    4.Neutrogena Blackhead Scrub
    5.Samples x 10

    UU 5/10 Samples and The Body Shop Vitamin-E Eye Cream. I did like this but I won't buy again just yet. I have a Nivea Roll On one that I bought from clearance shelf in Boots for £2. It is good. Also I'm not convinced yet whether an eye cream is a necessity.

    I won't be able to UU No7 day cream - I opened a Clarins Daily Energizer one. I don't like the No7 one which makes it more difficult to UU. I might need to repurpose ;)

  • Good morning ladies,
    A few updates for October:

    UU:
    Tesco pro formula exfoliating soap bar
    Jergens extra dry moisturiser mini 25ml
    Sanctuary body scrub mini 50ml
    OUTs:
    Mini max factor mascara
    Avon spot treatment
    Eye gel (can't remember the name of the brand)
    All past their best.

    Lots more items spluttering at the moment, hand cream, 2 shower gels, facial moisturiser. Plus trying to finish up a never ending lip butter and lip balm!

    2 INs:
    Superdrug cherry and almond shower gels. Always wanted to try these :D
    I have decided against hunting for the vanilla hand cream mag freebie, I have far too many creams and moisturisers to use up.

    Hi ladies, a couple of UUs, earlier than planned as I realised there wasn't enough in my minis to see me through the weekend away so took to use at the gym last night instead.

    So UU:


    7/147. L'Occitane Verbena Body Lotion 30ml
    8/148. L'Occitane Verbena Shower Gel 30ml


    These were freebies and were ok, though I'm generally not a huge fan of lemon-y scents as they remind me of bathroom cleaner! The lotion rubbed in well, shower gel was a bit disappointing as took a lot to get a lather. The scent lingered which was good. As has been my experience with all L'Occitane products to date, they're nice enough but massively overpriced IMO. WNBA but would happily use again if free :)

    2 UUS for me:-

    30ml Elemis PCMC. Have decanted another 15ml tube into the pot.

    L'Occitane shea body lotion sample sachet. Very impressed by the amount of product in this sample. I do have a full sized bottle of this in my stash however I've earmarked it for a friend for Christmas as I know she really loves 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!

    UU

    Nivea In Shower Moisturiser - I like the product but hate the packaging as it's so hard to squeeze the bottle and there's a lot left in at the end that's just unreachable.

    2 more UU tonight :)

    Tesco fresh lime body wash 100ml- Wnba think this was part of a gift set. Nice enough, it smelled nice and wasn't watery but I prefer to buy bigger bottles or body shop ones for myself now. I would be happy to use it again if I recieved it again though.

    L'occitane vanilla bouquet hand cream- WBA definitely. HG product!! I love everything about this hand cream <3. I know they aren't cheap but I have found them to be the best I've ever used. This has a beautiful scent and makes my hands feel wonderfully soft and not at all greasy or plasticky feeling like other ones have made them feel. For this reason I'd re purchase. They do last me w while too as a little seems to go a long way. I can't get anymore out of the tube by squeezing it so I may cut it later as I think there could be some last dregs in there. im sad it's finished as I love it so much but I do have another 2 in this scent stashed. I've got some body shop ones to move onto for now though, and I'll be interested to see how they compare to l'occitane. I think you can get a body cream in this scent by l'occitane and a lip balm so I may look out for these at some point. Can't get enough of the fragrance!

    3 more UUs

    The Body Shop Vitamin E Facial Wash - Love the texture and scent. MBA.

    Crabtree and Evelyn Relaxing Body Lotion 30 ml. This was from a charity shop and probably part of a gift set. I wouldn't buy it on full size/price. I prefer body butters anyway.

    No7 Blissful Body Wash - As I said, nothing blissful about this. WNBA. I have LOADS of shower gels to uu anyway.

    Sold a mascara, a nail varnish and a cc cream pen and 3 samples with them. So 6 outs.
