2 more UUs
Sample sachet of Bare Minerals Intense Power eye cream - too small to judge the product.
1000ml ABC Tea Atree skin wash. HG. One more in stash. Will be interesting to measure how long the new bottle lasts. I've just poured the last of this into a bath. Have an awful cold that started today.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!

Two UUs tonight:
Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Gel sample WMBA. This was nice and easy to apply. Quite sticky on the skin though.
The Body Shop Shea Nourishing Body Butter 200ml WDBA and have. This is my favourite Body Butter. This has last since the middle of September, I use it nearly everyday on my feet when I get out of the shower.0 -
UU- Wet and Wild Coverall pressed powder WMBA,
bought this in the reduced section, I didnt think it would be that great but was surprised, it performed as well as a high end powder for me, kept shine at bay and didnt settle into lines etc. I would pick it up again if I find it after getting through others in stash.0 -
One OUT today:
Hylamide Low-Molecular HA Serum 30ml I sold this on a Skincare Exchange on Reddit. I was never going to get around to using it.
And two UUs:
Tigi Bedhead Dumb Blonde Shampoo 750ml WDBA and have. My favourite shampoo, nice scent and it keeps my hair in good condition
Tigi Bedhead Dumb Blonde Reconstructor 750ml WDBA and have. It helps nourish my bleach blonde hair
I'm on a roll lately with UUs0 -
An IN and I actually bought this one! (I get a lot of free beauty bits to review, of varying quality, it has to be said, so it's not all roses,)
The Aldi Lacura Cellsation 400ml micellar water arrived,
I didn't expect it, as it's not on sale in the shop until tomorrow, but am I complaining?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 -
UU
Loreal Elvive coconut conditioner samples x 3
IN
Head and Shoulders shampoo x 2
Resisted some Superdrug bargains I didnt need yet, but then purchased a Remington facial brush and body brush set for £46 from Sainsburys, a really good bargain I was not looking for! I googled reviews and have since discovered that apparently Remington no longer produce replacement heads :-/ yet Boots still sell the facial brush at full price! Really annoyed about this. :mad: Will have to do some serious internet searching.0 -
UU : Bath and Body Works Sparkling Cranberry hand cream. Sad this is finished. Have 3 small handcreams in stash and one fill size at work. Once all the small ones are gone I am going to repurchase this. Have pulled 30ml Time Bomb cream out.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

No UU up yet for February, everything is taking ages.
However, I really did well today in M&S with the Gatineau rep who was trying the hard sell with skincare. I was in buying a birthday gift and am really pleased I managed to walk away with just gifts. The stuff looked good and I would be willing to try it, but I kept thinking of my ridiculous stash and how I really don't want to add to it :ANot buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN0 -
After a good January in terms of UUs, I haven't had much progress in Feb.
I might have some towards the end of the month. I have however some INs :
Clinique Blackhead Solutions Self-Heating Blackhead Extractor - this has recently come out and I wanted to give it a go as pores over my nose look very clogged and nothing else seems to be working.
Clinique Fresh Pressed!!!8482; Renewing Powder Cleanser with Pure Vitamin C - one month supply for AM cleansing. I have read good reviews about it and wanted to try.
Boots had 10% off for two luxury brand purchases so tiny bit of consolation there.
Then I went to Debenhams to try new Benefit Mascara. Very good to be fair but I ended up buying Lancome Monsieur Big as it was 15% off. I wasn't going to buy a mascara as I have few others but then couldn't resist. Sigh.
I also purchased Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate. This was £10 off so paid £29 - which i think is a good deal.ally.0
