One UU from this morning:
Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum sample WB. I loved this. It's made my skin feel so smooth. I will definitely have to think about purchasing it0 -
I will catch up with the thread later but I have 3 INs. Bought Pixi Double cleanser, a foundation and a concealer from Charlotte Tilbury. Have few UUs and some stuff are on Ebay , so will report them soon.ally.0

I have a uu
Elemis Exotic EDP - this is a heavy scent so quite appropriate for this time of year I think, didn't last any longer than EDT though. WNBA.
Also a teeny tiny in
Natural Collection Milk Chocolate Eyeshadow - HG basic brown and this is a spare - only £1.99 and I paid with points.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I have about 10 days to lay my hands on a bomb proof basic waterproof mascara, ideally no fibres and a slim profile brush. I can shop at a good sized Boots and Superdrug early next week otherwise it needs to be an on line purchase.
I will be attending what would normally be a totally joyous event, it will be massively bittersweet as one of the parties will leave us forever very soon after

I've come to realise that my favourite mascara is YSL Babydoll as it has the right sized brush for my sparse lashes. haven't tried a waterproof one though so can't vouch for that.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 got a Collection one for £2.99 from Superdrug. took me ages to find it though as I didn't to spend loads on something I would use once. Lasted quite well for the price but was a bit tough to get off since its waterproof0 -
No INs
3 UU
Natura Age Radiance Facial Wipes (25 pack) - Good value for money and very effective - just as good as more expensive brands for me. WDBA.
Dr Organic Rose Otto Skin Lotion 30ml - Lovely scent and softened my skin very well. I've really enjoyed trying out Dr Organic skin lotions. WDBA in a bigger size.
Garnier Ultimate Regenerating Oil 150ml - I loved the scent of this and it did make my skin very soft. I only used it after showers so it lasted a while. WDBA if I see it on sale as I have other body oils in the stash. Replaced with a Dove one.
Other products are running down so hopefully they will be used up soon.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2019 Total UU since 2016 - 396 | Total February UU - 10 -
Ah.. having said I wouldn't need to buy anything this month, my favourite serum, Ald! Lacura Restorative, (the one in the ground glass bottle with the pump) is the ridiculous price of £2.99 at the moment, down from £3.45. So, that's my IN.
Everything is going down VERY slowly..Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
Had a nice bath tonight so I have a UU:
Lush never mind the ballistics bath bomb- WBA if these ars re formulated next year (i only had the one) as this smelled lovely, like fruit cocktail, but unfortately these have had an issue with growing mould spots quickly on the melt part due to the product containing fresh banana :-/ hence i was going to keep this longer but have got it used now before it has a chance to go mouldy. Shame as this is a lovely smelling product that looks pretty in the water. If any of you guys are stashing these from christmas, check them for mould spots and use soon would be my advice. Lush are currently investigating these as there have been complaints.
Alsoo have any of you got a spa/jacuzzi bath? Like with the jets built in to the sides of the bath? (But not bottom of bath). I moved house a few months ago and thought id try the spa function out on our bath tonight but couldn't get it to work. I turned it anticlockwise (the knob on the bath) where it said to for 'ON' then pressed the circular thing in the middle downwards for 'AIR' but nothing happened. Cant see anything externally or any other switches for the bath. Am i doing something wrong? Just wondering if any of you use spa baths, if im missing something obvious or not. Otherwise ill guess its faulty, may have to call plumber? In at some point. Or is this a job for an electrician? No idea about spa baths as you can see!No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018
