    I have a uu

    Garnier Sauna Mask (Sachet) - I get no sauna effect from these at all, have more in the stash but WNBA.

    Continuing with my eyeshadow purge I put out some eyeshadows to try and if I didn't love them they were going in the bin, the following have been TA:

    Wild About Beauty Jody - this was a single eyeshadow from a beauty box, it was a very dark grey matte, I didn't think much to it. If it had been brown I would have kept it but I'm not fond of grey.

    Benefit Creaseless Cream in Bunny Hop (I think) - this applied well and stayed put as these shadows do but the colour was too orange for me.

    Barbara Daly Bon Bons Quad in Party Delights - very underwhelming.

    I uu the S&G It's About Prime Eye Primer yesterday, WBA but they have discontinued it. It was a pearly white primer so it did affect the shadow applied over but I liked it and it lasted amazingly well.

    My PP list for this month is looking good, the Ole Henriksen oil should be finished in the next couple of days too.

    Haven't posted for awhile, here's a few UU's...

    'Ta Ta for Now' magic undereye concealer - this was a Penney's dupe of the posh one I can't remember the name of, bought years ago when I lived in Ireland where Primark is Penneys! WBA, but I think it was a one off, haven't seen these again.

    M&S Magnolia moisture rich bath cream - Lovely scented stuff and didn't cause dry skin, was part of a gift set but WB for myself esp. since it is BUAV approved.

    Herbal Essences hello hydration conditioner - nice enough, but was a mini used up in the gym, so too small a sample to give a review of its effects.

    Elizabeth Arden cream blush - had this years, WBA though I think there are plenty of cheaper and equally nice blushes about these days.

    Cuore Agua de Prady EDT - DD passed this on to me since now she works for a perfume brand her tastes have gone upmarket! Nice enough scent, handy size, but I prefer PP oils and I have plenty more to get through.

    Misc. bottle of conditioner, a travel bottle I used up, I this it was from last holiday filled with Tesco's own coconut conditioner - not as rich as I like, but good enough for daily gym/beach use.

    KTC pure coconut oil - this has become a HG for the whole family - will definitely buy again.

    Garnier Fructis 3 oil therapy hair conditioner - I expected more from this. Completely fine as a regular conditioner, but not the rich treatment I thought I was buying. WPNBA.
    No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!

    Although I've avoided QVC and the LE TSV all day I've seen on Shopping Telly that there are a few One Time Only offers and there is a kit containing 200ml each of C&P and IBST plus travel sized moisturiser and cloths. You are basically paying £6.95 for the toner, travel size and cloths (price inclusive of P&p). If anyone is interested the item no is 216725.
    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!

    Oh dear I just recalled the pp oils. I have never bought from them. I just bought 9 , 3ml ones to try, cam to £20 with postage. That said I do not have any perfume apart from some Yardley rose, which I adore, but it's doesn't stay long at all. Paul smith? Had a simple rose one but thats £30 on sale, which isn't much but a lot to me. So hopefully i can find a few nice scents and choose a nicer cheap one and stock up. Not sure how long 3ml will last, But as it's oil I think you only need a drop?

    Anyway A nice treat for me!
    Gong to Paint my nails tonight and have a glass of my fake wine. With my buget pizza and free dvd ha ha. :T No really We have had a great near free day today, I must keep it up.

    So Used up 3 things so far today as they where near the end, hence why I joined!

    NBI..Zukza Manuka Balm ..supposed to be quiet expensive (I won it in a comp) essentailly it was just honey scented vasaline. Nice for night time, but wouldn't buy it.

    NBI N-spa Raspberry milkshake body cream. A gift. Nice and thick for my dry skin, didn't smell very strong, but it's cheap , but doesn't sting my senstive skin. WBA

    NBI a LHJ ..Philip Kingsley Moisture balancing conditioner 1000ml. i was very very lucky enough to win a load of products form them, But the shampoo and condtioner is just not great for me. I gave the shampoo away as it was a fav of a friend. Think t's about £50 , she loves me lol


    101 products to use up
    9 perfume oils coming..so I am actually up before I started :rotfl:

    Hi mummy2threeboys, I am mummy2fourgirls!

    Welcome to the thread, I am not here often but it does help keep me focused on using up my stash.

    The PP oils are amazing, I first got into them while working in Dubai, they have whole bazaars dedicated to scents and perfumes, I spent many a hour wandering through them. You are right, you literally need a few drops of the PP oils. Its always so exciting to try new scents, and this is a very MSE way to do it. Some are better than others but honestly I have been buying PP oils for several years and have not come across one I really don't like.

    So, I have exams next week and desperate to get away from boring revision so I went and had a proper pampering bath which resulted in 2 more UU's

    Tresemme Luxurious moisture conditioner - Ok, but I am not keen on the smell and I don't think this really does much for my hair.

    Alberto Balsam Sun-kissed Raspberry conditioner - Love the smell of this, ok as a regular conditioner.

    I had a UU before work tonight:

    TBS satsuma shower gel 60ml- WBA one of my favourite body shop scents! Good consistency and lathers up nicely. I always think tbs ones are well worth the money. Will hunt in stash tomorrow for a shower gel to replace this.
