UUS
65) Bodyshop Apple bath jelly WNBA lots of bubbles but prefer bubble bars.
66) yog nog soap WNBA did not lather, worked well and got through it quickly in a bubble bag.
67) Lush luxury lush pud bath bomb WBA pretty and I like the scent.0 -
Final UUs of April
Superdrug Tea Tree and Apple Shampoo & Superdrug Tea Tree and Apple Conditioner - there's only one wash left in these, so declaring them used. They're usually reduced to 99p each for 400ml, bargain, and I find them really nice to use. There's other fragrances in the range. WBA
Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Moisturiser - only one use left in this too. I can't really decide if it was doing anything for my skin. I have other moisturisers in the stash, so need to repurchase yet.Dove Straightening Serum

I'm so sorry for your loss Fiasco55.
Lucia22 and shed35, I hope you're both feeling better.
Maddiemay - sorry about your news but it's always better to have an answer. Hopefully you'll find the treatment to be of help.
Last bits for April
INs first. A fair few but not much money spent.
20. Natural Collection Mink/Sable Duo Eyeshadow. Bought with points
21. Nuxe Reve de Miel lipbalm. My one should be my first UU of May so this will be a straight replacement. Bought with M&S voucher.
22. Superdrug Gentle Eye Make Up Remover.
23. Garnier Oil Infused Micellar Water. Intro price and paid with points.
24. Garnier Oil Infused Micellar Wipes. Intro price.
25-33. 9x Candle Belle Wax Melts. To replace the Flamingo ones I sold.
A few UUs too:
21. Barry M Showgirl Extra Volume Mascara. WMBA. It's quite good but I think I prefer the Extra Length version which I still have.
22. Lush Rose Bombshell Bath Bomb. WMBA. The strapping is off my knee for now so back to bath bombs for a bit. I'm not sure on this one. It smelt lovely but it left a weird film on top of the water and it stained my bath a bit.
23. Nude Progenius Firming Youth Oil mini. WNB. Didn't get on with this. It didn't feel greasy but it didn't seem to sink in either.
I will start May with INs as my Lush order will arrive but I was very restrained! Just one thing from the kitchen, one bomb and one bubble bar which isn't bad given that it was very much an emotionally motivated order! I will be going into the shop on Sunday too to look at the Ocean Salt Scrub. I haven't used a facial scrub for months and I'm thinking I might need one but I want to see it in the flesh first.
April totals are
IN 33
UU 23
TA 4
GA 2
Sold 9
At the beginning of the year I was at 542, end of last month 494, now 490. Overall not huge difference this month but it's still going in the right direction.
Hope everyone's having a lovely long weekend. See you in May!0 -
3 final UU for April:
Lush snow fairy massage bar- WBA definitely but I don't remember seeing these in the sale this year (so don't think they did them) this was from the 2014 sale & I wish I'd bought more now, as I imagine now discontinued. Will buy again if they do them this year or if come up on lush kitchen or eBay (at a reasonable price!!). I really love the scent of this, not so much the glitter it leaves on you, but I'll forgive it that as I love the smell so much. And it's pink. And pretty! I enjoyed using it and now I want to try all the lush massage bars!! Have a pearl one in the stash but thinking of getting each peach (which I believe is citrusy) for the summer.
Soap & glory hand food 50ml- WBA this one had actually gone off scent wise so I used it on my feet instead for which it did the job fine (I had opened and forgot about it). The last one I had was fine and I liked it, which is why I will buy again (although have more of these in stash anyway).
Schwarzkopf essence ultime biotin + volume conditioner - WBA even though this was marketed for fine hair and mine is thick, I chanced on it as it was in pound world. Bargain. Smelled really nice and did the job fine. I believe these are normally more expensive than this, and if it wasn't, it did look like it should have been! Feel the need to go back for more but bought this last month so will probably be out of stock now
Maddiemay - I hope that everything goes well and that the treatment works well for you xNo Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

Actually had two more UUS last night:-
Kureshi foot cream. This came in the last Birchbox and was used solely on MRM's feet. He loved this but I won't be replacing it until the tube of L'Occitane foot cream has been UUed.
I had an empty Cliniqure eye cream jar into which I depotted some of the Elemis Evening Blooms oil. I'd been applying this to MRM's cuticles too and UUed this pot last night. See you in May.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!

I'm so sorry to hear about your mum fiasco xx
unexpected IN, me ad my mum both got a small sample of the new Dior lash timer in the post.
last minute UU:
Illamasqua eye liner in Sophie - WBA but nothing special, just a bog standard black eyeliner.
Elemis travel size day cream - WMBA as part of a set but not full priced.
Rossi night cream - WMBA if in a set or gifted but i still prefer the Liz Earle.
OPI and Sephora nail polish, slight cheat as i needed a pot to put my make up brushes in on my dressing table and saw a DIY glitter one with an old jar and glitter nail polish. stunk the house out and took a good 3 days to dry as it did have the best part of 2 full bottles of polish involved but very impressed with the results0 -
just wanted to bump up my 7 by Summer list as it's taken me ages to find it.
[STRIKE]LG eyeliner [/STRIKE]
[STRIKE][/STRIKE]Benefit Boing - above[STRIKE][/STRIKE]
Benefit Lemon Aid - bigger section of pan showing. Still going strong. I'm thinking of trying Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Creme de Nude as a primer/base when this is UU.
Laura Geller Bronze n Brighten - I am using this every day. Have the very tiniest bits of product left.
Smashbox lipgloss - have pulled Illume out and have popped ou tthe stopper to get it used up. It does feel gritty though so want to work on it quickly. Must admit I keep forgetting to use this.
Nail lacquer minis. Haven't reached for this very much this month to be fair.
[STRIKE] Elemis Evening Blooms oil [/STRIKE]
Will work hard on the bronzer and lipgloss to UU by the end of this challenge but can't see Lemon Aid being UU and the minis are an ongoing project.
Have talked myself out of the LE TSV. Emma has UUed her C&P and were on the last bottle of IBST which will run out in June. I wouldn't mind trying the eye cream but have tonnes of moisturiser. Plus I've tried Superskin before and wasn't that impressed. Even though there are easy pays I don't want to spend the money. Am quite proud of my low buy this month. Plus there is a Tarte TSV coming up on 4 June which I think I will buy.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
