    25 west labs Epsom salts started with this horrible cold today so had a soak with these. Lovely. Found these bags at quality save for £2.99. WBA soon.
    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've been having a sort through of all the products in my stash. I'm a bit annoyed at myself for buying things I don't need urgently. I have about three different cleansers in my stash, waiting to be used, for example. Or 13 hand creams.

    I think for March, I'm going to try not to buy any items at all. I've got a few items on they're way to me, which will probably arrive in March, so they'll hopefully be my only INs for next month.

    Exactly my problem. Tidied up my cupboard a bit and just have soo many things that are waiting to be used. Yet I just want to buy more. Depressing.

    UU a travel size Sanctuary Body Scrub. Clarins Body Lotion is spluttering so will cut the tube. Should be gone before end of the month.

    I will try not to buy anything next month with the exception of a toner as I run out.

    NBIs.

    The description is misleading, bit gutted to get a product I hated previously included in the kit, when the description said otherwise.

    I got 2 of the coconut foot creams for Christmas and I really like it! Different strokes for different folks I guess!

    I've been lurking this month, but not posting. Got rid of quite a few splutterers last month so very little going out this month. Will do an update in the next couple of days though! :D
  • Another UU:

    Laura mercier tarte au citron perfume. WNBA. Not my cup of tea.

  • Another UU to report!

    Lush rub rub rub shower scrub 130g- WBA and already have more stashed. I love the scent and it does the job well. I used it both as a body scrub and as a shampoo for my hair and worked well for both.

    I have 2 uu's sort of:

    Soap & Glory Hocus Focus - WNBA, I am so over facial highlight products of any sort and will just be working through what I have.

    Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - WNBA, this is a good concealer for under the eyes as it stays put and doesn't crease, also good for blemishes but the colours are soooo orange and dark, I need a nice cream colour with a hint of pink.

    The reason these are sort of uu is because I have a Max Factor foundation which had stopped pumping with 1/4 left and it is also too light for me so I decanted both of these into it. There was very little of the Hocus Focus left in the first place though.

    It seems to have turned out a nice colour.

    One UU this morning:

    La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere moisturiser sample WDB as full size and I already have. This is light, but hydrating at the same time. I've enjoyed this sample, so I can't wait to try it for a longer time period.

    It's been a slow month. However I've not bought anything new that I didn't need so that's progress.

    UU

    Impulse True Love Body Fragrance 75ml - I love this spray - my favourite scent from Impulse. I'd definitely buy it again but I'm focusing on using up the extra body sprays at the moment (7 sprays left).

  • ketatin oil shampoo ogx 2 bottles as was on offer. I wanted one but i know i will use the second. The cheaper shampoo is giving more meh days so i am returning to what makes me happy. I think the sls free shampoos seems to give a better outcome to my hair.

    treseme heat protectant spray in as i used up the philip kingsley earlier.

    today is my relaxing day, i am looking out on rain and not feeling like going out today into the wet. I have a day of long over due catching up on tv and reading. I will make some nice lunch to have as left overs for tomorrow.
