Just got back from work with a UU this morning:
TBS Shea hand cream 30ml- WBA I like this scent and although it's a lighter cream than Loccitane it still did an ok job. I personally like the packaging of these too. Got other scents in stash to UU. Will replace this with one out of stash (this was in my work fleece pocket). Constantly getting my hands wet at work so I go through these quickly atm.
Eta added to pp list 2 more items I want to focus on as they should be achievable Uu's before May.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

Been out with brother, I have a UU and 4 INs from Marie Claire magazine. Only just got in and work rand they forgot to put my shift on the rota and apparently I am supposed to be working tonight so obviously it didn't show up to me it showed me as being off tonight. Manager says I have to go in and she's given me an hours warning to get a shower packed and in to work no time for me to have my tea or owt I'm absolutely gutted as I am so tired if I'd of known I'd have gone to bed and not gone out this afternoon as I only got 3 hours sleep in the end last night and worked until 12 today. Arghhhhh. Managers.
UU:
Sanex dermo pro hydrate deodorant spray- WBA HG. Does the job well.
Ins:
From Marie Claire:
Neals yard remedies garden mint & bergamot hand cream
Elvive extraordinary clay shampoo & conditioner sample sachets

Thankyou
I'm tucked up in the staff bedroom currently watching telly with my iPad. I've finished my actual working shift bit until the morning then I finish at lunchtime tomorrow. I'm now on the part of my shift where I'm sleeping in, and I'm just paid a retainer for being over night with a couple of residents in an independent house for learning disabilities "on call". Worked 7-11 then I have 11-7 sleep in, and then I work 7-12
let's hope there are no problems with my two residents over night. They are normally fine, only ever have had to get up when they were in pain (in which case I'll contact main home to get the nurse to bring over painkillers and give them) or when they were crying (last time one of my residents had lost a pet of hers and understandably was devastated
). It's mostly that I'm here with them in case of emergency - fire, illness etc and I'm also on call if anything happens in the main home.
My aunty used to work in a similar 'home' until she retired and had troublesome residents that liked to bite particularly if a full moon on sleep ins, the bites were :eek::eek: Good to here yours don't do that:)
A UU for me Burt Bees grapefruit lipbalm...another 10 or so stashed from my US trip:money:
A couple of INs Garnier Skin Active Moisture Bomb night and day creams, freebies from Buzz Agent. Have had a quick try and it feels like putting water gel on your skin, soaked in well and feeling nicely hydrated after feeling a bit night and thirsty all day.Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
April Project Pan
Clarins Extra Firming Body Cream 30ml
S&G The Righteous Butter 50ml
EL Modern Muse perfume sample 4ml
Argan Organics Regeneration Cream 10ml
[STRIKE]Batiste Dry Shampoo[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Lancome Visionnaire Yeux 5ml[/STRIKE]
Right Guard Argan Marula & Almond Oil 250ml
S&G Heel Genius 50ml
Merumaya Iconic Serum sachet 1ml
Gilchrist & Soame Mineral Bath 40ml
Late to the party, but here is my April PP list.
I've already UU the Dry shampoo (HG WBA-already replaced), and the eyecream (WPNBA- this was nice, but not really sure it did much, which is what I say about every eye cream I have ever tried lol). Have also UU a Paul Smith Extreme 5ml perfume sample WNBA- was OK, but didn't wow me, and Sure Cotton Dry deodorant- WBA, does the job.
Also, here is my 7 By Summer ListRevlon Lip Butter- sugar frosting
Marvellous Moxie lipgloss
Lord & Berry black kajal liner
Maybelline eyebrow pencil
YSL Touche Eclat Blur Primer
YSL Touche Eclat Foundation sample
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
None UU so far. So far I'm not loving the primer or the foundation sample. The primer stinks, and is really slippery and siliconey- and it has particles of glitter in it :eek: and the foundation looks horrible on my dry patches- I have dry skin, so that's a lot of it!!0 -
Right, time for my April PP!
- TBS Cranberry body butter (carried over from March)
- Sanctuary foot scrub
- 3 x Hotel shower gels
- Joules Hand Wash
- Lush Ocean Salt face scrub
- TBS Mango body scrub
- Benefit eye cream (had this for years, getting a bit thick so want to use it up before it goes off!)
- Nivea 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner (again something I've had for years, just want it gone!)
Already had 1 TA this month - a Joules flannel.scrubby thing. I thought it was new, but it smelt a bit odd and looked maybe a bit mouldy??!! So that went in the bin!
Also a UU of a Superdrug shower puff - time for a fresh one so got one out of my Sanctuary Gift Set.
A couple of sneaky INs from Boots - Nip + Fab was half price on Boots websites and I'd heard such good things I couldn't resist!
-Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme
-Nip + Fab Viper Venom Anti-Ageing Eye Gel
Got a free gift as well of a sample of Indeed Labs Vitamin C24 - seems to be a moisturiser of some kind!0 -
First UU of April:
B. Nourished Night Serum - One of those products that I can't tell whether I liked it or not. I think it made my skin feel a bit smoother, but at the end of the bottle it went a bit greasy. I didn't care for the scent, and I hated not being able to tell how low the product was getting. So ... WMNBA.
The Garnier Face Wash is on its last legs, and I'm sick of seeing the Dove Straightening Serum now! Feels like it's been spluttering for years!
Have a mad week before I go on holiday on FridayAlways end up trying to buy a house right before (or during) a holiday, and not helped that the developer is being a right twit.

Seaside dreamer - I'm very lucky that our residents aren't violent/aggressive. The two I work with in particular are great, easy going and just lovely people. I love them both like they are family.
I have 2 more Uu's to report, just UU one now and UU the other just before work. Might as well report now before I forget.
Vaseline active fresh compressed deodorant spray- WBA nice fresh scent and does a good job.
Lush rub rub rub shower scrub 350g- WBA HG love this scent. Although this pot was a little more scratchy on my skin and occasionally left a scratch mark on my skin, Didnt have this problem last time I used this. However i love the fragrance so much I'll forgive it that. I'm ready for a change now as have a ton of other scrubs in stash. My brother had left a little so I finished it tonight.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

I know what you mean about this, I use it but not sure if it does anything or not but my skin is good at the moment so I'm to scared to stop using it! And it does just end quite suddenly, I found that last time.
Ooo where are you going? I'm going away as well on Friday on my hen party but I have no idea where I'm going!! All I know is that it involves a plane and my passport :beer::jMy debt free diary

Rdone - I bet you are so excited!
hope you have a fabulous time at your hen party.
Finished at 8 today not 12. So glad to be home. Didn't get much sleep again last night due to pain in my legs so hoping I can get a few hours today before brother gets up and starts being noisy! Unfortunately theo hamster is out and demanding my attention due to my not being home last night! :rotfl:
I've just put the lush rub rub rub pot out to dry in the bathroom (no one chucked it thankfully) and will decant my half into it of the pot myself and friend brought between us. Then she can have the other half back with some other bits I've saved her from my lush stash. The half pot of my share will go back in stash though. I'm going to have a change and will use it another time. I've put out a Bath & body works honey & almond body scrub that was opened but hardly touched to use. This was next on my list as I'll be gutted if it goes off.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018
