Yes! I am!
My hair and nails aren't co operating either :rotfl:
I get my nails done professionally on a regular basis and it's so saddening to go in with one or two that have broken off right down to the nail bed compared to the other nails due to them breaking!
Although saying that, my nails right now since having them done last time are all intact other than a couple very small splits right at the end of the nail, but how long will that last...0 -
13 Yorkshire Soap Company No 2 Peppermint Cream Shower Gel Am on the fence about this. Yes, it was lovely but I should really save products like this for the Summer or take on holiday with me as it left me icy cold. It was nice just nothing special and considering the price I don't thnk I would repurchase. The bath bomb however I loved and I'd repurchase however it depends on whether I ever see them offering free p&p as their charges are on a par with QVC. Or maybe wait for another visit to York. I have brought the matching body lotion to work to use as hand cream. Can't stand to apply it all over.
So my updated PP list looks like this:-
Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser
Murad Clarifying Toner
Garnier Sensitive eye make up remover.
L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap (bathroom).
Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream
Boots nail polish remover
[STRIKE]Lush Cup o Coffee[/STRIKE]
Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It
Ole Hendrickson sugar glow mask.
[STRIKE]Lush Snowflake soap
Yorkshire soap company peppermint cream shower gel
[/STRIKE]Yorkshire soap peppermint cream body lotion
Hawaiian tropic body butter
[STRIKE]Diamond resort body lotion (small tube). [/STRIKE]
Eye cream
[STRIKE] Elemis superfood oil[/STRIKE]
Everything except the aforementioned body lotion is looking likely to go this month. I don't know how much is in the eye cream as it's in a pump bottle that is not transparent. Need to start using this though.
2 more UUs and from my PP List
14 Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It facial polish I bought this from the Clearance shelf at Boots. WNBA. Was nothing special.
15 ole Henrickson Sugar Glow mask I git a small pot of this in my advent calendar. Love this. Smells of orange marmalade and made my skin so soft. WBA. One for the holiday wish list I think.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Another eye shadow hit pan this morning UD Stark, think I have another shadow that will hit pan soon, hoping some of the ones that hit pan a while ago will be UU shortly. Must reduce eye shadow stash, but 2 shadows hitting pan in 2 days shows its definitely getting UU.
Have googled that colour. It's lovely. I have a similar one but can't remember Tge brand. It came in a Birchbox.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

[STRIKE]1) Lush snowcake soap(sliver only left)[/STRIKE]
2) Gilchrist & Soames sample soap
3) Animal Body Lotion 125ml (new bottle)
[STRIKE]4) Superdrug coconut shampoo & conditioner (both nearly gone) [/STRIKE]
5) Gilchrest & Soames shampoo & [STRIKE]conditioner Samples
[/STRIKE]6) Boots simply sensitive face cream SPF15
7) Lush Angels on bare skin
8) Superdrug exfoliating face mask
A UU to report
10) Av0n footwork pedi pads - WNBA i'm not sure they have actually done any benefit to my feet at all. I still had 50% of the pads left but their complete lack of results has sent them to the bottom of the bin.
A couple of cans of 48hr s@nex deo managed to smuggle their way in to my trolley this week, but they did have YS on in my defence and its not as if I wont use them up eventually, after I have used the other 3 deo's in stores.:pDesperately Determined to Destroy the Debts one at a time.. and Seriously Save for the Spectacular future.:p0 -

I have a couple of ins. I found a brand new and sealed Bliss set in the CS, it has a 500ml Grapefruit & Aloe shower gel and a 200ml matching body butter. I had a look online and originally it was £32 for the set - I paid £2.45:j.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Hello all, just checking in with a few more UU:
2. Rodial Super Acids X-treme Acid Rush Peel (20ml) - WNBA, didn't seem to do much except make my face very hot and red. Not sure if that was the intended effect or whether I was allergic to something in the peel!
3. Kiehl's Creme de Corps (sample) - WMBA, found it perhaps a little too heavy. It had a nice scent though and overall a good moisturiser.
4. Kiehl's Calendula Herbal Extract Toner (sample) - WBA, thought it was nice. This is probably the first toner I have ever actually used though, so I don't have a lot of experience judging quality.

16 Nuxe Nuxellence Detox cream can't remember where I got this from. Was only a small tube so maybe a GWP? WNBA. Felt it needed something to boost it. Will pull out a tub of Elemis ProCollagen oxygenating night cream next and save small tubes for travel.
Olay Refenerist eye roller. This is the eye cream in my PP. I applied it this morning and just now after a shower and bathroom clean and it has stung my eyes both times.
So I think these products will go this week:-
L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap in bathroom
Murad Clarifying Toner
Garnier eye make up remover
Batiste dry shampoo
L'Or!al conditioner
Must try to get through one of my body lotion/butter on the go
