    Merry Christmas to you too InaPickle and everyone.

    2 UUs just before Christmas.

    Balance Me Super Toning Body Polish
    . Bought this from Waitrose when it was reduced to clear. While it feels nice on the body, not sure if it tones your body as claimed. Just a nice body scrub/polish. WMBA if on a deal.

    Grow Gorgeous Hair Density Shampoo. Bought this from Boots when it was 2 for 1. It is an expensive shampoo and I wanted to see if it would help with hair growth. My hair doesn't grow past a certain length anymore. It is nice but a bit drying. Unsure if it did help much with hair growth. WNBA probably.

    I'm going to have a sort out and see if there's anything I want to sell, so I might reduce my skincare stash a bit more

    Merry Xmas everyone!

    Did some Xmas shopping and ended up with more products for myself :o

    Ins:
    Primark Peppermint foot scrub
    Illamasqua eyeshadow
    Neutrogena Norwegian formula hand cream
    Rosehip oil


    Uus:
    Lidl anti-aging hand cream Spf20 WMBA - Good value for price but a but watery.
    Superdrug cotton wool
    Rosehip oil
    - WBA, better quality oil this time round. Everyone comments on how my skin glows and get on with it better than coconut oil.

    Need to spend some Superdrug points before the end of the year so will take stock and buy only the essentials.

  • Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you all had a nice day

    I got a few ins, not too many thankfully!
    I had told my mum that I had a lifetime supply of shower gel and body lotion so nothing to add to these stashes :D

    I got a Joules handwash and handcream set and a LE set with C&P, skin tonic, superskin moisturiser and a facial exfoliator.

    Apart from the handwash these can all get used pretty soon, not that I have a lot of handwash but I'm trying to get rid of some excess shower gels first

    I have a couple of UU for December but I'm going to see if I can get any more in the rest of the week first

    Hugs to anyone who is going back to work tomorrow, I have a whole other week to watch tv and eat chocolate :rotfl:

    UU

    Arm & Hammer Advanced White Toothpaste 75ml - Worked well but WNBA as I have read that this product contains micro beads.
    Pearl Drops Party Sparkle 50ml - Not sure if I finished the whole container but couldn't squeeze any more out. This worked well and did make my teeth look whiter but was a bit of an impulse buy for me. I'll just stick to my standard whitening toothpaste. WNBA.
    Baylis & Harding Beauticology Gingerbread Sparkle Body Wash 50ml - I received this as a gift and decided to use it as hand wash. Had a lovely scent but WNB as not my preferred brand.
    Sanctuary Spa Gentle Polish Body Scrub 50ml - I really enjoyed using this. Have plenty other scrubs in stash but WBA.
    Natural Extracts Hydrating Body Lotion with Vitamin E 30ml - Hotel freebie. WMB.
    Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash 8ml - Plenty in this one sachet - no wonder my shower gels last so long. WMB.

    Should be able to use up a few more mini toiletries before the end of the year!
