I have some uu
Clinique Anti Blemish Solutions All Over Clearing Treatment 15ml - WMBA.
Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Milk Body Souffle - lovely but would only buy at half price.
Rituals White Lotus & Yi Yi Ren Foaming Shower Sensation 50ml - smells gorgeous but quite runny and hard to dispense so WNBA.
Nails Inc Top Coat - has some still in the bottle but I am ruining my polish when I apply as I can't get enough on the brush.

Hi everyone! Not keeping up with the thread very well this month but have a couple of UUs
6. Lush Pop in the Bath Bubble Bar WDBA One of my favourites, let's hope they don't attempt to discontinue it again! More in the stash anyway.
7. Lush Sugar Plum Fairy Sugar Scrub WPNBA. I really like the smell and the amount of 'scrub' but this was one of the solid scrubs and it basically disintegrated even though I was really careful so it only did one bath!
Well done on the clearout KT2802 - I've just started another run of decluttering the makeup. Only done palettes so far so will post TA/GA once I've done the lot. I found that I have too much choice and end up using the same things all the time rather than getting a bit of use out of everything. I do go through my collection regularly but I am being much more thorough this time and comparing things so I don't have too much that's really similar. It's so time-consuming though!
Hope you're all enjoying the weekend!0 -

Quick update for me, the shampoo is finally done and boy is my hair happy about the change back, working through the remaining LHJs Hope everyone is getting on ok.
I like the idea of Valms five by summer may have a think and change it up a bit on Mays PP list to help me enjoy and also use up unloved stuff.:pDesperately Determined to Destroy the Debts one at a time.. and Seriously Save for the Spectacular future.:p0 -
My Burt's Bees gift set and Ginger Spice lip balm arrived already as NBI's. Still enroute is the Burt's Bees Coconut and Pear balm, although there was also one in the gift set. Given how long it has taken me to use an inch of the current Coconut and Pear I may well have lip balm for the next decade.
Good job I ignore best before dates.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 -
UUs:
Dior – Capture Totale Le Serum – 1.5ml. Lovely treat but WNBA due to price.
Nivea deodorant - Invisible 150ml - Second of 2 bought for 88p on clearance. Don't love the heavy scent, but most of the invisible ones do have a heavy scent. I do wonder if most deo's are just invisible these days anyway and I can buy a fresh fragranced one and not worry about marks..
Didn't make a dent in my travel sized products when I went away for the night :-(
INs:
Wunderbrow in Black/Brown. I have finally succumbed to the constant promos! Read reviews and many people said the brush it comes with is too big so I bought a boots eyeliner brush. I hope the shade is right, I have very fair skin and dark brown hair. I'm going to watch a few YouTube tutorials! Has anyone used it before?
Also bought an Ecotools Kabuki brush to use for my pressed powder foundation. Currently using Boots Velour Powder Puffs which aren't great.0 -
Two UUs from today:
Avon Planet Spa Argan Oil Hand Cream 30ml WNB. I hate mineral oil. I can only use it on my feet and I have three more hand creams with mineral oil in them to use up. Glad it's finally gone.
Paula’s Choice Resist SPF30 sample WNB as full size. It said it was tinted so I tried it on my hand first, a very dark shade compared to my pale skin. So glad I didn't use it on my face.0 -
sunny_money, I have an Ecotools kabuki brush and it's great. Good buy!
Two UUs:
L'oreal extraordinary oil cream - HG
Phil Smith coconut oil conditioner - good - needed to be, the matching shampoo totally stripped my hair.
That's 3 UUs for me so far in April - but some things are spluttering so maybe a few more in May.0 -
One unexpected UU:
neals yard rose hand creme. WBA. This was a gift but it's lovely.Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN0 -
15 Boots No7 wipes Love these and have one full pack left. There's 30 in a pack and now that Emma has returned to Uninthey should last me the month. Think I will buy more as they are on 3for2 at the mo. I read a blog review about these yesterday and the blogger said she knew of cheaper dupes so have asked her for details but do like these because they are so moist and great at removing my mascara.
Repaintied my finger nails last night and am wearing OPI The Spy Who Loved Me.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!

16 15ml tube of Elemis PCMC HG. Plenty more in stash. Enough said!
17 50ml pot of Soap and Glory Smoothie Star body butter This is gorgeous. I pulled this out as the Mandara Spa one I have is really had to rub in and I don't have time to use it in the mornings. Will replace this small tub with another and perservere with the Mandara Spa in the evenings.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
