No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - March 2017

  • Hello all!
    Hope everyone who has been feeling a bit down is feeling a bit better. It must be doing the rounds, I've been right grumpy and down in the dumps the last few weeks.

    Few UUs
    13. Primark Golden Ashwood candle WBA. This was a nice one, burnt really well and decent scent throw.
    14. Lush Boo Bath Melt WDBA. This was from Halloween and I only just got round to using it. Wish I'd bought more than one. I really liked that it was half melt/half bubble bar. It was really moisturising. Will stock up if it comes out again this year.
    15. Yorkshire Soap Co Almond Exfoliating Soap WDBA. I used this as a body scrub and really liked it. The only thing is - as I think Valm has mentioned - their postage is a bit much. I got this in the shop when I visited York last year. Not likely to be going there again very soon. I'm down South. I live closer to France than York! I do like this as a scrub though so I will look into how expensive it works out including p&p. I definitely prefer solid scrubs which makes it quite limiting (pretty much just Lush I think) so this might still be an option as it's not that expensive in itself.

    One IN: Primark candle - Deep Nectar and Ginger Flower. They had 3 new scents in their more basic range of candles but this was the only one I liked. I got a £1 jar candle and some tealights (but I don't count those) so hardly big bucks.

    Have a good weekend all! :)

    Couple of small UU tonight:

    Lush supertramp shower gel sample- WBA this was sent to me by someone. Never thought i would be a fan of this but i actually loved it. Its Such a fresh and clean scent and left a lovely smell on me. On the hunt for a bottle of it now!

    Lush retread hair conditioner sample- WBA i have a full size ordered. This smells very pleasant and Although when you apply it feels like its doing nothing as its very lightweight my hair was so soft once dried!

    Will be flying off soon but quick report.

    30 L'Occitane Divine cream this was the newer one actually with the ombr! packaging. Felt and smelt the same as the origin.

    31 L'Occitane Divine cream lovely.

    I did buy a no 7 foundation and powder yesterday qualifying for the GWP.

    See you all soon. Xx

    Latest NBI - and it's a nice one - Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Nourishing Body Lotion. This already had loads of reviews, but most of us who got one are raving about it.

    UU

    Dove Nourishing Oil Care Hair Mask 200ml - This works very well on my hair and I'm quite pleased with it. WDBA but working through the stash first.
    The Body Shop Berry Bliss Bath Fizzer - I bought some of these as stocking fillers but never used them so using them up whenever I have a bath. WMBA.

  • Deleted_User thank you so much for shedding some light on things! Ah that's annoying there were some 'wow I want that so badly' ones on both menus!

    I'm really into florals herbal scents and some of them really caught my eye.

    On a lush theme I have a couple off UUs:
    Lush pines and needles shower Jelly WPNBA I like shower jellies but they get hard to use towards the end and I feel they don't last that long, I'd probably rather try a new one than rebuy even though I liked the scent.
    Lush flowering tea reusable bubble bar WMBA I really like this but i find the reusable bars on the end of a string just break off part way through using and it annoys me! Liked the smell and little flowers inside it.

    Hi everyone, not much progress here but I'm hoping to UU 1-2 things before the end of this month.

    I have used a sample of TBS Oils Of Life™ Intensely Revitalising Cream and loved it. Might buy it for winter. Really comfortable, not greasy.

    I have 2 Lancome samples that I will UU soon too.

    Forgot to say, I have GA an Avon Clearskin facial scrub today. I was taking a bag to charity and this one was sitting in the cupboard, untouched, unloved. Decided someone else might like it so 1 out.

    VALM - hope you enjoy your hols.

    I have some uu's

    Avon Chocolate Orange Bubble Bath 1L - WNBA in this scent but I do love Avon bubble bath.

    Dr Organic Coconut Monoi Moisture Melt 90g - I really like this and it has lots of good ingredients in but I am more a cream/butter person for the body rather than oil, I am always worried it will transfer onto furniture and stain.
