Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend

Gemzie- hope that everything works out ok. I hope that you are able to get an advocate (labour law expert or union representative) to bring with you. It would be worthwhile as it can prevent an employer pressurizing you. Even just from reading your posts, your are so eloquent with reviews and full of humour, please consider all of your talents. Many employers would be grateful to employ you. don't let them get you down, I know it sounds easier to say but i've been through it before. Keep strong and don't get emotional in any meeting- stay strong.
i have one used up a body scrub that is years old, i just finished i today. could not buy it again as i guess it's been discontinued.
i have reused cowshed knacked cow body lotion as a shower gel. I am not a great fan of body lotions and prefer the oils and butters.
i have over spent this summer and need to cut back on everything. i have lots of everything- so i need to finish a lot of what i have.0 -
Gemzie, your situation at work sounds awful. I hope you get it resolved and find the right people to fight your corner.

Sweet Snuggles Chocolate & Vanilla Hand Cream 60ml - I got this in the Superdrug January sales for about 80p. It lasted me a month in my handbag. Although the scent isn't something I'd usually choose, this was a really good quality hand cream with ingredients like shea butter. I've got plenty of hand cream still in the stash to use up but I'd probably buy this again.
The most likely UU for this month are my body lotions. I've got a couple of bottles stored upside down at the moment to get the last of the product out so they should use up in the next few weeks. The rest of my stuff is mainly items I've opened recently. I'm definitely not tempted to add to the stash so hopefully it will be a good month for spending.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2019 Total UU since 2016 - 396 | Total February UU - 10 -
UU - Radox Passionfruit Splash Shower Gel - WNBA as my boyfriend likes it more than I do...
It is lovely though so I will buy it again...but hide it!0 -
I have a uu
Weleda Oat Replenishing Treatment 200ml - I didn't find this much of a treatment and didn't like how it felt on my hair but once my hair was dry I did like the results. It did have a porridgey texture to it as it had oats actually visible in it and was quite lumpy.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

2 UUs already (although that makes me think the rest of August will be a slow month!)
• L'oreal Hair Expertise Pure Colour Volumising Shampoo – WBA
• Superdrug Cleansing Conditioner – WNBA, did nothing except make my hair feel greasy.No more goo hoarding!

I missed an item off my PP list......200ml LRP Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser, I need to get on and finish this as I have just noticed it says use within 6 months from opening:(
This is one of the products from my safe to use when allergy/excema breakouts are on my face range, as such I haven't used it every day, I have another in stash, need to investigate if travel sizes are available if it is to be used faster as I prefer richer cleansers for daily double and single cleanses.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
I love Nails Inc's colours but it does seem to chip fast and very badly.
I get on ok with the normal Nails Inc polishes, they tend to last a while on me. I don't know if it's just the "Gel effect" formula I'm struggling with? (Had to redo two nails after day 1, and another 3 after day 2!) I've a couple of others I'll try (I got a set as a xmas gift). They might have to go though. I've an Opi polish on now, with no chips at all after a couple of days- Organic Surge intensive smoothing serum. WMBA. Didn't realise this was almost done, as i just haven't been paying attention. I was more impressed the first time I used this, but still liked this second bottle. It's a lovely light, easily absorbed, and fresh serum. And I love the OS bottles - very modern and clean looking in the bathroom.
Remembered why I liked this so much after the first bottle - after just a couple of days without it this time my skin has gone massively downhill! It just seems less nourished, more unbalanced. I also had a breakout which I think is due to a new nightcream. I've stopped using that for now, to let my skin settle, and I'll experiment a bit to see what the issue is.
A couple more mini UUs for now:
- sachet of Estee Lauder invisible fluid makeup. WDNB. Really runny (I prefer creamier formulas) and just didn't seem to settle on my skin. Moved very easily, and came off quickly.
- sample of Catherine Malandrino Style de Paris perfume. WNB. Just wasn't my thing.0 -
Evening all
3 UUs to report although only 1 of my pp,
L'Occitane light comforting creme samples - these were ok but I prefer something a bit thicker for my dry skin,so will be sticking to astral for now.
The other two were B.nourished night serum again ok and an argon oil heat defence spray that I picked up from poundland which I WBA - it made my hair soft and shiny.0 -
First UU of the month here Boots Extracts Sliced apple hand cream, nice but it's lasted forever.1Debt 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
