An unplanned purchase of 250ml Schwarzkopf Essence Ultime Biotin shampoo
I bought this to make the item I was buying from A*azon qualify for free postage, even after including the shampoo, I still paid less in total than the original purchase and postage alone would have cost:money:
Dolly84 - my poor nails are caused by longstanding low iron, tea also slows absorbency, and I and a serial tea drinker, orange juice with iron supplements or iron rich food helps though. I find that if I keep them varnished it does protect them and they grow like the blazes, but even after half a day without varnish they just layer and break. Presently painted in Zoya Bailey, but need doing again tonight:(
Sundaysgirl - belated birthday wishes and hope that your arm heals well and quickly.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -

UU
Nivea eye make up remover - wba - very gentle.
Tesco baby wipes - everyday essential
Lush so white - I like lush products, this one was ok, didn't really smell wintery but was nice enough.
Skin wisdom youth protect eye treatment - wba - felt like it actually tightened a bit
In
Johnsons Baby wipes. - everyday essential.
Proberly more to come, I expect I've got "lost" stuff stashed away which I will come across, I think it's quite a collection for someone who never wore make up which explains why there's so much of it I suppose. I haven't included hair removal in the list such as razors, shaving gel, cream.0 -
UUs
17) Imperial Leather marshmallow shower cream - WNBA. Smelled lovely all lathered up, but had a weird acidic/chemically smell straight out of the bottle.
18) Armani Diamonds Rose perfume travel sized - WNBA. Very odd smell as it wore off.
Has anyone tried that Elvive shampoo with the clay in it? I think it might suit my greasy/dry hair, but I want to read some reviews first.0 -
maddiemay - I drink tea aswell but usually only 1 large mug a day.
I have a uu
Aromatherapy Associates Support Breathe Bath & Shower Oil 7ml - WNBA.
I have also given DH a couple of small tubes of moisturiser for him to use at night, he uses a cream with SPF for day time but says he needs something for night time. I gave him a 3ml tube of Ren Vita Mineral Rescue Cream and a 15ml tube of Nuxe Youth & Radiance Revealing Fluid.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

One UU to report:
A bottle of hotel bubble bath from a cosmetics company in Scotland. WDBA if I was in Scotland, gorgeous smell.Grocery Challenge £114.22/ £1100 -
2 more UUs:-
1 from the PP list - at last the Hawaiian Tropic face cream has gone. WDBA though as it's lovely. Will wait until I am going abroad as I now have SPF protection in my liquid foundation that I use every day and intend to back this up with an SPF primer when I need one.
15ml tube of Elemis PCMC - HG - have another in stash.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!

Happy belated birthday wishes Sundaygirl, hope your arm heals quickly.
UU's
18) ginkgo leaf cleansing cream 150 ml WNBA it was nice enough and cleaned my face effectively without stripping it but there are so many more I would like to try.
19) Eco hair conditioner, hotel freebie WNBA it has the consistency of single cream, it poured out too easily and I lost some before getting it on my hair. Like the shampoo I found it did nothing. Glad it was only a 30 ml bottle.
20) outrigger hotel shampoo WNBA nice enough, lathered and cleaned hair, another hotel freebie.
21) iope moisturegen 5 ml sample. WBA this sank into my skin easily, it was not heavily scented
22) yog nog bath bomb WBA like the scent but it does leave the bath a interesting colour.
23) leader sheet mask amino acid WBA one of the better masks I have found, good fit, saturated with essence, easily wear it for an hour and still will be moist.
24 & 25) nature republic the first sheet mask WMBA still using these and still have plenty to go but have grown to appreciate them. I love sheet masks as I find them relaxing and a way to switch off before bed.0 -
Another INbut a freebie - my replacement Smashbox Fig lipstick has arrived. Am pleased because I wanted it for this weekend. Repainted my nails last night and I'm wearing OPI Royal Rajah Ruby which is a good match.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

I UU to report:
Radox Heavenly Bath Cream with Raspberry Leaf and Neroli 250ml - This smelled lovely and made the bath water pink. I think it'd lost some of its smell because it was about 7 years old. I don't think it's even sold anymore. I am trying to look for SLS-free bath stuff so I don't think I'd use this again.
I have plenty more bath stuff where that came from. My once a week bath habit is definitely going to continue.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2019 Total UU since 2016 - 396 | Total February UU - 10
