  • So behind on the thread! Hope your leg improves quickly sam.4000. Must be horrible to be so swollen in the hot weather.

    I have many INs. Bad me.
    21. The Body Shop British Rose Eau de Toilette - I finally gave in while I had my £5 birthday voucher. All the other TBS bits were sale items
    22. TBS Seaweed mattifying day cream mini
    23. TBS Aloe soothing toner mini
    24. TBS Bubblegum Blusher
    25. Amber Vanilla New Look candle - smells very similar to my beloved Golden Sandalwood that I can only get at Christmas.
    26. Superdrug Simply Pure Moisturiser
    27. Superdrug Simply Pure Hydrating Serum - Had this before and I don't think my skin's been as good since I ran out. Thought I'd try a couple of other bits from the range too.
    28. Superdrug Simply Pure EMUR
    29. Ponds Cold Cream
    30. Biore Baking Soda Cleansing Scrub
    31. Imperial Leather Peppermint and Eucalyptus Shower Gel

    And there are at least some UUs to balance it out.
    16. Ikea grey candle. WBA
    17. Ikea white floral candle. WBA
    18. B. Nourished Night Serum WNBA. Hated the smell and not very moisturising.
    19. L’Oreal Fibrology Booster WBA
    20. Tresemme 24hr Body Conditioner WMBA but need to remember not to buy the big 500ml bottles. They're very cumbersome!

    Need to be better for the rest of the month but I have a bit of birthday money left and there are new things in the Lush catalogue so... :)

    One use up for me.

    Balance Me Shower gel which was a GWP from a while back. WNBA. Now onto a Ted Baker one from my birthday last year.

    One birthday in and it's my favourite cream, Elemis PCMC from my bf.

    Hope the swelling goes down Sam- sounds awful.

    Couple of uu to report:

    White unbranded soap bar- WNBA this was boring and plain scented, not sure where it was from originally. Did the job but much prefer scented ones like bomb cosmetics or lush ones. It was very drying too. Replaced with a beauticology limoncello ice cream scented one.

    Superdrug limited edition pear drops conditioner 400ml- WNBA this was a good conditioner i just didnt like the smell. It would be a wba in a different scent. Did the job well and lasted a while. Was a good consistency too. Just didnt smell nice, not at all like pear drops. Dont think it could of gone off as purchased less than 6 months although was the only one left on the shelf. So maybe old stock? Idk either way it smelled horrible. Which was so disappointing as id expected to love it. Will probably get one of these conditioners in a different scent when i need to stock up.

    No more UUs at the mo but a TA this morning : OPI Black Cherry Chutney. A fave and I have a back up bottle so hope this has plenty in it. Have had a look online and am able to replace if not. Am wearing OPI Bullish on OPI. A gorgeous tomato ketchup red.

    I can't remember who it was that recently bought Make Up Geek shadows on here but just wanted to mention that I ordered the Manny MUA palette for Emma's birthday. It arrived yesterday and the colours look gorgeous. The pan sizes are. A bit small though.
    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 spoke too soon. 2 make up UUs:-

    Benefit Boing Concealer - This was a mini sized in a split pan with Eye Bright. Am now using NYX concealer which I want to switch to but think the colour I have could do with being lighter. Maybe will see if Emma wants it and go and get a lighter colour.

    Soap and Glory Thicker and Faster mascara. WNBA. This came in the OOTW kit at Christmas. Whilst the formula is ok the brush is awful. Really bristly so had to careful not to apply it too close to the base as it prickled. It is going clumpy and I was having to pump the brush so I'm calling it done. I think I only have one GWP sized No 7 mascara in my stash now so will see if I can get through to next pay day with this and then treat myself to a new one.

    Oh dear, not only did Achica have a PiP Studio Bedspread I LOVE at less than half price but there's a flash sale at (I'm not enabling on here so PM me if you want to know) so I'll have some INs in a few days' time! :o

    Ins - a Rituals order. Because I need more shower stuff like a hole in the head, but it smells so nice, leaves my skin so soft and moistourised...
