    UU: Trilogy rose hip oil. WNBA. Smells quite fishy once opened and I prefer other brands.

    A UU and 5 ins to report...

    UU:

    TBS oils of life night cream 15ml sample sachet- WBA depending on price for the full size although I have plenty in stash to be going on with for now. I thought it was going to be too thick and heavy when I first put it on but it feels okay now it's sunk in and my face feels soft. I like the smell of it too, very pleasant. Can't put my finger on what it smells like but it's nice. May buy this as full size when I've finished the hordes in stash.

    Then I have 5 ins, I bought a bundle off eBay as I have finished the mini face washes in stash apart from the one left in my swim kit and I needed some travel size ones to replace this for swimming/sleep ins. So I. Picked up:

    4 x TBS seaweed facial washes 60ml
    Which came with 1x TBS moringa shower gel 60ml

    Excited to try the seaweed range I've heard good things.

    Eta. Deleted_User that's great news about your job :)

    Sophiebirdnerd, great to hear you are enjoying your new job.

    INs
    Honey all in one ampoule
    AHA whitehead power liquid
    3 trial sized skin food products
    20 lador hair ampoules ( love them)
    2 foot peeling masks
    14 x 10 samples of things I wanted to try but I will count them in as one item each ad I will decant the product and use them as one product. Mostly high end skincare which is much cheaper to buy as samples than full sized products.

    Went to see Muse last night. If anyone is seeing them on this tour the show was amazing.

    Very pleased with new nail colour too.

    I forgot to mention a UU yesterday:-

    L'Occitane Shea butter soap - v nice. Will probably buy again as I have a 500ml bottle of the body lotion in my 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!

    One UU:

    Florentyna Marks and Spencer handcream. I've got a real soft spot for this scent because my Nana used to buy it for me as Christmas presents.

    Congrats on the new job Deleted_User!

    Bit of action on both fronts. UUs first:
    5. OGX Sea Minerals Shampoo WDNBA. Hated it. Used it up washing make up brushes and cleaning the bath.
    6. Lush Star Dust Bath Bomb. WMBA. It's pretty but nothing special IMO. It smelt lovely when whole but didn't seem to smell much once in the water.
    7. B. Micellar Wipes. WBA. Prefer the Garnier ones but these are often 49p and still do the job.
    8. Lush Rose Jam Shower Gel 100g. WBA. Have a 250g one in the stash.
    9. Lush Lover Lamp Bath Bomb. WMBA. Bit like Star Dust. Nice enough but nothing special. Also not keen on the hearts in it, they don't dissolve easily and feel like jelly.

    IN.
    9. Vichy Dercos Anti-Dandruff shampoo. Needed this. May have more INs of this next week as I've asked my mum to look how much they cost in France. Might be more cost-effective to get a couple over there.
    10. Carmex Lipbalm pot. The one I keep on my desk at work has about a week left in it and this was reduced to £1 in Primark. Plus it has Snoopy on it!
    11. Rodial Stem Cell Cream Cleanser. Free with Red magazine. I like cream cleansers but they're not easy to find good ones in high street brands so thought this was worth a try. Got 3 sachets in the mag too but not counting as I'm starting a new box for the refuge and they can go straight in there.
    12-13. 2x sheet masks from Primark
    14-15. 2x packs of under-eye patches. Primark again. Used a pair of these (each pack has 2 pairs). They're meant to reduce dark circles but they didn't and I wasn't genuinely expecting them to. They did feel moisturising and refreshing though and my skin felt nice after.
    16-17. 2x packs of nose strips. Primark again. Meant to be like the Biore ones. Not quite as effective as those but they're a bit kinder to the skin. Each pack had 4 strips.
    All those Primark things were 80p or £1. First time I've seen sheet masks on the high street

    GA
    1. Nuxe Crème Prodigieuse Moisturising Cream mini. Used before and not keen so this second unused tube is going.
    2. Vosene Shampoo. Find the Vichy ones much more effective and am willing to pay extra for it so thought I'd give this away as it's unopened

    Got the house to myself this week so I'm planning on making a dent in my bath bombs with a few long soaks and using face masks while nobody can see me! I am going shopping on Thursday with my sister and will surely go into Lush. I've found I do best if I accept I will spend money but set a budget/bath bomb limit. If I tell myself I'm not spending anything, I fail then I go overboard and spend forty quid.
    Hope everyone's having a nice weekend! It's been pouring all day here. April showers indeed :)
