    TA
    Dove Beauty Finish Deodorant
    and Dove Colour Conditioner (accidentally tried to take these through airport security). I was about half way through them so at least I got some use out of them.

    UU
    Colgate Optic White Sparkling White Toothpaste 75ml - I love Colgate toothpaste. I've replaced this with another of the same brand.
    Dior Poison perfume sample - A magazine freebie.
    Lidl Cien Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream 100ml - I liked this face cream. It was very effective and worked on my combination skin. The scent was a little bit masculine but I'd still repurchase. Have replaced with a Superdrug face cream.
    Garnier Ultimate Blends Soothing Hydrating Lotion 250ml
    - I loved the scent of this. WDBA but will try the body butter version next.
    The Body Shop Vanilla Delight Bath Fizzer - A quick use up in the bath. This was a leftover stocking filler. WNBA as I don't tend to use bath bombs very often.

    So that's 7 toiletries gone so far. I have a few INs - one Neals Yard hand cream GWP from Marie Claire, Hask hair oil and some product samples from magazines. Overall I've been good at not impulse buying.

  • Hi ladies,

    How are we all?
    Some impressive impulse buying resisting going on at the moment!
    I have one TA - end of a L'Or!al mascara WNBA was a double ended one found the basic end dried out really quickly and the end with fibres in was hard to use.

    I have my only conditioner, a foundation stick, my only eye make remover, and my only balm cleanser, and a n acid toner all spluttering and on last legs currently. When I get paid I'm going to need some ins! Might need to do conditioner before pay day as can't live without one. However want to buy a gentle natural one and not sure when will get a chance to. I'm struggling to find ones I get on with and still detangle. Also need to buy a body scrub as realise I do need one and a face suncream.
  • 2 UU, a bath bomb and Aveeno body lotion. WBA, really nice.
    No more goo hoarding!

    Two UUs this morning:

    Avene Eau Thermale Spray 150ml WDBA. My favourite thing ever. I know it's a gimmick but it does help my skin.

    La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser WDBA and have. Love this, Sinks in quickly and is very hydrating for my skin.

    Another UU from my shower earlier, I had not noticed it was virtually empty.

    30ml L’Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickness Booster. WMBA it worked, but will try the conditioner on it’s own first to see how much effect that has. 4/32
