Uus
UUs
1) batiste 200ml original WBA works well for me but do get through a lot.
2) Mis en scene curling essence WNBA made my hair crunchy which I don't like.
3) the bodyshop spa wisdom mono I miracle oil WNBA nice enough to use on skin or hair but I have lots to still go through before I can repurchase and it was nothing special, although I did like the fact it could be used for a variants of purposes.
4) lush roses all the way soap WNBA smelt okay but don't really like rose scents ( picked up off eBay in bundle).
5) Leaders in solution wrinkle filler sheet mask WBA love this mask, the fit, how hydrating it is and it is not scented or only slightly and seems to plump out my skin.
6) choosy herb lip mask WNBA trying not to open ones mouth for 30 minutes is more challenging than one thought, especially when the phone rings.
7) SNP Aqua ampoule mask WMBA good fit and saturated but not as effective as others.
8) leaders amino sheet mask WBA saturated and hydrating and last a good 45 mins on face without drying out.
9) Lush the enchanter bath bomb WMBA like bathing in orangeade and so pretty.
10) Cosrx low ph morning cleanser WNBA purely due to the scent of tea tree which I can't stand. Worked well and lasted.
11) snowcake soap WBA
12) Lush fun with a twist WNBA I don't like fun, the only purpose is for bubble baths which are okay but lack scent that bubble bars do.0 -

Any ideas about what to do with a bottle of NYX setting spray, bought it as a cheaper alternative to my Holy Grail Urban decay one, wish I hadn't bothered, it gives my skin a horrid plasticy look. should I just bin it or is there something useful I can do with it?0

No further UUs to report as yet. Will tidy bathroom soon and see if I have any splutterers. Have finally booked a holiday for the first week of September to Gran Canaria so plan on taking all the sample sizes with me. We have no sun cream left so am on the look out for good deals on Ambre Solaire and Hawaiian Tropic. I do work in an area full of discount stores so Weill be on a mission to visit these. Think I'll start with B&M on Monday.
Have repainted my nails just to change the colour and am wearing Essie Lovie Dovie with OPI Pirouette My Whistle on top.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 have been away for ages, tied up with work etc. Below are my UU's to date.
M&S Lavender moisture rich shower cream - Loved it, really authentic lavender scent, nice and moisturizing, was a gift but I would happily use again.
Beautifully Scrumptious Chocolate Fudge Body Butter - horrible looking stuff, looked like putty, not very rich, but did smell quite yummy. WNBA.
Schwarzkopf Bonawell Hot Oil Treatment - DD19 used most of this so I can't really rate it, smelt lovely though and if her hair is anything to go by it definitely works! WBA.
Creightons Sunshine Blonde shampoo and Conditioner - love this, smells great, good price, and my hair likes it. WBA.
Sudden Change intensive green tea serum - smelt vile, no significant change to my skin using it, WNBA
Spicy Sensations Body Butter - a body butter in a tube! Well thought out packaging (I dislike sticking my fingers in a tub), smelt great, rich, but not too rich. WBA.
Herbal Essences Hello Hydration conditioner - travel bottle, did not feel like I could judge it on such a small usage.
M&S Magnolia moisture rich bath cream - lovely stuff, was a gift, would happily accept again!
Espa essential moisture balm - tiny sample, too small to judge.
Mitchum powder fresh roll on deo - Nice enough, but for me works no better than my usual from Aldi, so I would rather save the money.
Britannia Hotels hand and body lotion - not sure what this was, but lovely and rich.
Blistex lip massage lip balm - Really nice, built in lip exfoliater, unfortunately the wind up packaging broke and I had to toss it.
Revlon lipglide sheer colour 'bare' - loved this, WDBA.No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!0
