    UU - hotel Peter Roth shower gel . It was ok

    I have so many hotel shower gels/body lotions/shampoos etc. I travelled a lot with work last year and always put them in my suitcase. Alongside the tea bags, coffee sachets and sugars!

    No more UUs for me today, but had another sort through and found even more stuff I didn't know I had

    One out - Superdrug Cracked Heel Repair Cream. I bought this a few months ago and wasn't too keen on it then as it stunk. I tried it today and it appears to have gone off. I am not sure why, but I am quite glad!

    One naughty IN (oh no!) - I was walking through Boots thinking "don't look at the sale!" when I was distracted by a stand of new Imperial Leather shower gels smelling like sweets. I resisted the fruit salad one, but could not resist the marshmallow one!
  • No the sale 'might' (usually does) start on Wednesday Gemzie. Its worth a look late on Tuesday to see if there's anything worth going to the sale for:)

    Bomb cosmetics order came and it finally looks like my second lush order will come tomorrow.

    Few UU to report:

    Phil smith Argan oil hair transforming cream - WBA this stuff smells gorgeous and does a nice job. Leaves my hair soft and smelling lovely. Always use this when it feels parched after a bath /shower as a leave in conditioner for an extra boost. Got another of these in stash but got a half used v05 heat defence cream I will use up next before starting the new Phil smith.

    Charlie red body spray- WBA but sure I've got another stashed and a ton of other sprays to use first. Definitely got more Charlie pink anyway. I have always liked the fragrance of the red one.

    debenhams Apple and cinnamon bath fizzer- WBA if I could find this gift set again. It was from last Christmas and I'm sure it was originally debenhams. Shaped like a Christmas tree. Really lovely scent and turned the water a pretty light green colour.

    Seaside dreamer I may have to go to boots then as I have a boots gift voucher from Christmas still to spend. I was maybe saving it for soap and glory but will see. I'm probably working though, is it only tuesday?
    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

    Carried on my sorting out into the evening and have some TAs

    Garnier aftersun - no idea how long I've had this and it smelt really bad, so that was binned.
    2 x mini OPI nail polishes - they were glittery and had pretty much set solid in the bottle
    Tresemme heat protection spray - I had 2 half empty bottles of this, so I combined into one. Not really a TA I guess, but the bottle went in the recycling so I'm counting it!

    Hello everyone :)
    I've decided that I'm going to start saving items that I don't use to give to Project shoebox for next xmas. I'm going to aim for 20 boxes. I currently have 8 nail polishes set aside, 2 lipsticks and a few small sachets. I'm going to grab hotel shower gels and such as well for the shoe boxes too.

    Anyways, UU's for me this week:
    Lush purple bath bombs 2x christmas ones that turns purple and smelled like lavender - very nice! wba
    Lush shoot for the stars - great smelling bath bomb but wnba
    Lush ocean salt face cleanser - wba
    got loads more to use up before they got off.
    No buying toiletries challenge

    Went swimming tonight and used up a few bits that have been half used in my kit for ages.

    Hotel shampoo 30ml- Wnba just a basic hotel freebie.
    Duck island bath and shower gel mini- Wnba I like the smell of duck island stuff and will use in hotels but won't go out if my way to buy it otherwise.
    Elvive full restore 5 hair mask- WBA does a nice job and smells lovely. I do find the pots hard to undo in the shower but that's just because my grip isn't that good. I can live with it though as I liked this product.
    Dove intensive repair express conditioner- WBA this did a good job and pleasant smell.
    Baylis and Harding sweet mandarin and grapefruit body wash 250ml- Wnba wasn't overly bothered about the scent and it had gone gloopy and funny. It was watery when I first git it and it didn't lather as well as shower gels I've had that have been cheaper.
    Boots extracts mango body butter 200ml- Wnba in this size pot as I did get bored of it quickly. Hence it ending up in my swimming kit bag. It's not my favourite scent by boots extracts but I do love the formulation of these bitters they are always just right in consistency, sink in quickly and moisturise really well. And the price is good. I'd get thus again in the smaller sized pots. But don't need to as got a few mango minis in stash from extracts gift sets.

    UU's
    23) Butter bear bath bomb WMBA nice enough but nothing special. Currently have a family of them so plenty more to UU.


    24) Golden wonder bath bomb WBA love the scent of this, pretty in the bath and does not take forever to dissolve.


    25) The experimeter bath bomb WNBA ended up with a few from buying gift sets in boxing day sale. Hate this one, the scent is not my cup of tea and it makes your bath look like you have been up the chimney covered in sparkles. Have 2 left and can't find anyone else who likes them either.


    26) Neutrogena concentrated hand cream HG love this.


    27) Pocketbac hand sanitizer WBA have several more and I love the scent of them.

    Had my make up trial for my wedding yesterday and it was lovely. The make up she did was lovely and bright and summery and lasted all day long.

    Afterwards me, my mum and my bridesmaid went into town for bridesmaid dress shopping and unsurprisingly ended up in lush. My mum bought us each a lip scrub so I'm here declaring my in. I got the popcorn one as I have an obsession at the moment!
