I didn't know you could get these - where are they from? I have a chunk of newly opened Lush soap in my soap dish, but as it doesn't lather up well I tend to neglect it a little!
The link to the ones I bought is: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191651613901?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
UUs
27) bath bomb my mom passed onto me WNBA I have no idea where it came from. It smelt like cheap washing up liquid.
28) Lush milky bath bubble bar WMBA
29) Bodyshop glazed Apple scrub WMBA for some reason I can't actually use scrubs without dropping them into the bath and this was no exception. Nice enough but I went through this one too quickly partly from loosing some in the bath.
30) AC control sheet mask WBA0 -

Amazing, thank you!!0 -
One UU tonight:
M&S extracts fig & orange oil body butter 200ml- WBA already have one in stash, it's discontinued so when that's gone can't re purchase. I wouldn't say this is as good as TBS/boots extracts but then it wasn't as expensive either, it takes a lot longer to rub in and it isn't as moisturising. However I love this scent (very sad this is a discontinued one) so if it were still available I would still be getting it again just for the smell. I do like that these have a best before date on so you can use them before they start to turn/before the scent isn't as strong, this one had a date of 05/16 and still smells perfect. Replaced with a 200ml tub of an Avon planet spa chocolate truffle body butter that smells absolutely divine and really does smell just like chocolate truffles. It's giving me the urge to go to thorntons and buy my favourite truffles (which I haven't had in forever!!) must resist!! :eek:
I have 4 x ins too, went out with friends and treated myself to a few little bits but avoided the bath bombs in the shop, I've been wanting the soaps and scrub for ages:
Bomb cosmetics sherbet lemon lip scrub
Bomb cosmetics pink elephant lemonade ltd edition soap x 2
Bomb cosmetics stardust soap
Unfortunately my birthday is later this week so there may be more ins, in fact I know there will be as I picked out some things in the boots sale at Xmas that mum has put away for me (and I still haven't used the stuff I bought in the sale to use straight away)oh dear

On a roll ladies with 4 UUs this morning:-
L'occitane rose shea hand cream - the handbag size that costs £8.00 - lovely texture as always and smelt quite nice. Not a fan of rose so would not repurchase but would buy other fragrances if on a good offer. This one was on an offer where it was free with any order and I was ordering hand wash anyway. Have more hand creams in stash to use. Can think of at least three that I got from a friend for my birthday.
Vidal Sassoon conditioner - came with my hair colourant kit. Nice conditioner. Would prefer to buy this hair colourant purely for this conditioner as well as the dye. Have 2 more kits in stash.
Casting Creme conditioner - came with Casting Creme kit. Do not like this conditioner at all and used this mini bottle as shaving cream instead. I do get a red mark on my leg when I use this although it does not make me itch.
Liz Earle Gentle Exfoliator. I don't choose to purchase this item but don't mind using it if it is contained within a kit. I think this may have come in a TSV. I don't particularly like the camphor smell however this was quite nice mixed with the TBS Tea Tree cleanser that I have in use. This item was on my PP list so another one down and my PP list now looks like this:-
Ok my PP List for April is :-
Clynol leave in conditioner - just like the Duracell bunny!
Vichy eye cream - I'm hopeful that this will squeeze its last tonight.
[STRIKE] Elemis Lime Blossom Balancing Cleanser[/STRIKE]
Elemis PCMC - tube cut open. One or two applications left.
Liz Earle Skin Relief Light - pump bottle feels very light.
[STRIKE] Liz Earle Exfoliator [/STRIKE]
TBS Tea Tree creamy cleanser - getting close to cutting the tube open
L'Occitane Shea soap. Used up one and replaced with another.
LIZ Earle Orange Blossom body lotion - tube feeling squishy but pretty sure there is loads left.
Hand cream and hand sanitisers. One done this month. Still keep forgetting to use the hand sanitiser. OPI Avojuice on my desk still going strong.
Repainted my nails last night and am wearing OPI Amore at the Grand Canal again. Love this red.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!

Thanks for all of the kind words about my hen weekend! We went to Lisbon :j:j We got back Monday evening and I've pretty much slept ever since. Work has been a bit of a shock today :rotfl: Had an amazing time though :beer:
Well done Deleted_User on your new job
Ooo you've both made me so excited now VALM and littlemissbossy, I'll be seeing Muse in Glastonbury and I am overly excited!! I'm just praying they don't do a Foo Fighters!!
And onto toiletries... a UU of a toothpaste over the weekend and one in the house this morning. Chris left all of his toiletries in Warsaw (where he went for his stag over the weekend) so they're all gone as well!
Joined two new survey's this morning. One for S&J Camomile Fresh Micellar Cleansing Water and the other for VL Body Blur. I'll report back once I've received and used them.My debt free diary

I have some ins
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Sandglow - I used this today and it has creased badly but I am blaming the Urban Decay Anti Ageing Primer Potion I used underneath as I am not a fan of it and everything creases with it (the original and sin versions are fab which is weird).
Essie Truth or Flare Nail Polish
Stila Convertible Lip & Cheek Colour in Poppy
Eyeko Skinny Brush MascaraDebt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

In typical style with it being annual leave and my birthday this week, I've come down with another nasty cold and a sore throat. Don't want to go anywhere or eat anything and I was supposed to be going out tonight to cinema and a meal for my birthday (which is later this week) with family tonight and I'm not well enough to do anything.
I wish I hadn't booked the leave as if I was working I'd of taken it off sick, now my precious annual leave is being wasted
I bet I'll be well just in time for going back to work on Monday :-/
Going to doctors tomorrow for blood tests to find out why I keep catching so much as I've had constant colds, sore throats and stuffy sinuses and generally feeling exhausted all the time without a break since the end of 2014 and they haven't done anything about it, just fobbed me off with "you're just unlucky". I haven't had a single day without cold symptoms, but I appear to have got another bug on top of that this week. This has all been going on ever since I had spinal surgery I was fine before that and I'm wondering if it's related. I just want an answer :-/
Anyway no UU but toothpaste is getting very hard to squeeze out now. I do have a few ins as I ordered mini toners for my work bag to replace the no.7 one:
3 x TBS aloe toners 60ml
3 x TBS vitamin e toners 60mlNo Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

Had to throw away a serum that was made of all natural ingredients as it started smelling funky and had been open a good few months. I did use about a third of it when i was using it tho
Also passed on to my brothers gf a still sealed pack of those dental floss pick things that i bought a couple months ago in the hope of using them but never have. I use regular string floss anyway
2 items out of my stash. 1 may have gone in the bin(but for good reason) but the other has found a good home0 -
Just tidied and sorted out all of my make up and toiletries that are on my dressing table and I have 124 items.My debt free diary
