    Good morning ladies. No UUs as yet but have repainted my nails and am wearing one of my oldest colours : OPI Aphrodite's Pink Nightie. Have put Pirouette my Whistle on ring fingers. This bottle of OPI is so old that it smells like it still has the old nasty ingredients in there. Have a great day. I'm glad it's Friday.

  • Two UU to report

    TBS Moringa Body Butter 50ml WBA
    Bourjois Ultra Curl Mascara 12ml used to be my HG when I was a teenager - does nothing for me now, so WDNBA
    No buying unnecessary toiletries 2017 UU 6
    2017 declutter 32/2017 Roadkill £1.06 Wombling free/ Ys savings 2017 £320.89 2016 @ £141.25 Craft Stash 3
  • Some UU:

    Clinique comforting cream cleanser WMHA if it was free with a set - it felt more like make up remover than a cleanser, it was good at removing make up but I didn't feel as clean as when I use a nice face wash.

    Lush Five Gold Rings bubble bar - WBA liked this.

    No move on the perfume front. My mum has said she was going to buy me my perfume for my birthday so I'm going to hold out for that (in the spring).

    UUs:

    Boots Cucumber face wipes

    INs:

    Hotel shampoo/conditioner/body wash

    I'm going to do a wee shop just now for some new toiletries as I'm running low on some essentials but I'll try not to get too sidetracked.

    Thanks to everyone who posted about replacing make up brushes and how often they should be cleaned...I was wondering why my skin had broken out recently! :O
    #27 £2016 in 2016 = £763.61

    #42 £2 Savers Club = £160

    *Savers Club not included in overall 2016 savings until the tin is opened and my estimates have been confirmed later in the year.

    I might be copy catting you later:D, your post made me go and dig out my bottle, I knew it was a very old one, sure enough the printing on the base label in in Green, I believe they changed the printing to black when they re-formulated to three free. I have a few of the old ones, will just try to keep them off my skin and not inhale the fumes!

    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
    Avon Bella perfume - Wdnba - I found this to be a very light perfume, I could barely smell it myself, felt like it was bland, nothing special.
    Soft & gentle deodorant - the pink one - Jasmine & coca milk - Eva, does what it says on the tin.
    Tesco pro formula citrus anti dandruff shampoo.- I like this product, I have another one in my pp list to use up but I do think Tesco have discontinued it.

    TA
    Boots hairspray- WBA - does what it says on the tin. Had to throw this away because I knocked it into the toilet - joys of being clumsy.

    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.
