Boots Botanics Micellar 3 in 1 cleaning solution, free on O2
Right Guard InvisibleDebt 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 -
Sorry but I am not going to the hospital today, it has stopped growing but as in to prevent or deal with it for if and when I get stung again.
Sorry Sam, that will teach me not to speed read. A few years earlier OH and our Springer Spaniel had each received multiple stings after the dog had wandered through an unseen wasp nest, OH was fine, but uncomfortable, dog was extremely drowsy, but OK by morning (consulted with a vet by phone). After OH had the bad reaction later we were paranoid about potential stings for a year or so, only advice he got was to always have Waspeze and AH tablets at hand.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

Sam- hope you feel better soon, that doesnt sound nice
hate wasps!!
A few uu to report:
No.7 completely quenched body lotion 200ml- WMBA this had a pleasant scent that i could wear any perfume with as this was very subtly scented. It was a nice consistency for a lotion, not watery at all but rubbed in well. I felt this moisturised well, left my skin soft. I dont need any more lotions currently but would use this again happily. It lasted quite a while so good value for money too.
Johnsons be fresh & retreat pineapple & lily shower gel 400ml - WBA this had a lovely fresh scent which lasted on the skin after a shower. This was an absolute bargain. Wasnt too watery (although i found it easy to accidentally use too much) but still for a quid it was fantastic value and lasted for a good while! I did find it a little drying though so you do need to moisturise afterwards, but it makes a ton of lather! Felt very clean and fresh after using it though and would definitely pick up another if i didn't have so many shower gels already!
Lush I love juicy shampoo 30ml sample-.WBA and already got a full size in stash. Love the smell of this, its so fruity. Lathers up well and my hair seems to get on with this. Its a little runny though so easy to accidentally use too much but a little of this goes a long way so i think itll be worth the money (id buy it for the beautiful smell alone though i really enjoyed using it! Cant wait to open full size now!).No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

Body Shop Banana Shampoo and Conditioner is hanging on for dear life - hoping I can get it finished by the end of this month! I love the stuff but it makes my hair fluffy when I use it most days.0

Some UU

Eyeko Liquid Eyeliner Black free with magazine, but WNBA 7/53
12.5g Clinique compact foundation, bought when needed more coverage for skin condition, 8/54
A couple of tubes seem to be very light and hopefully 1 bath foam will go before the end of the month.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
UU: Lady Million Eau My Gold Sample WNBA0

A couple of UUs to report. Also hoping to use up my night cream tonight as there are only little bits to scoop up from the sides:
UU
ARU Borage Cream 30ml - I think this is supposed to be a skin treatment cream - I got it from the Holland & Barrett sale and it became really out of date (2 years +). I've been using it for a few months on and off as a daily moisturiser on my face to use it up. It worked well and I would say that it was good on acne. I would probably buy again if this was cheap enough.
C.O. Bigelow Apothecaries Mouth Wash 14ml - This is a bit of an easy UU as was a travel mouthwash which was free on a flight. I used it up this morning as part of my routine.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2019 Total UU since 2016 - 396 | Total February UU - 10 -
Another slow month for UU
have a UU of brunette shampoo from Mr Shoes. I can't remember the brand but this certainly helped me build up my stash as I remember getting it free with a voucher in the magazine so I have several
this is years ago, maybe 7/8 years ago
Sooo long ago.
So No WNBA as still have several
Another UU Sannex bath cream that I decanted into an old S&G pump bottle. Never have baths but nothing to say it can't be used in the shower :cool:Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -
UU Waitrose Bergamot and Jasmine hand cream - WBA if it was on special offer.
Wow, this has been a slow month for using up stuff.0
