    A small UU - an unbranded shower gel I received to test. Uninspiring basil and lemon scent. Didn't leather well.

    Fem Fresh Lightly fragranced wash. WBA

    Alberto Smooth and Sleek Shampoo. WDBA my favourite shampoo so far.

    Asda own face wipes. WBA, useful for a gentle cleanse before bed.

    Passion body spray, cheap one from Home Bargains. WBA to keep in handbag.

    IN's
    Right Guard Anti perspirant
    Passion body spray
    Garnier Light moisturiser

    UU this month:
    Lush bath bombs. Dark blue star one and pink dotty snow fairy one.WBA
    Soap and glory soak WMBA
    Soap and glory clean on me...used up a half bottle and half way through another. WBA when I've run out and am no longer sick to death of it.
    Soap and glory scrub of your life. WDBA
    Roger and gallete rose soap. WBA smelled lovely right to the end.
    Yves Rocher arnica hand lotion. WBA nice smell and feel and soaks in well.
    Aveeno moisturising hand cream. WDBA worked wonders for an eczema outbreak. I just wish it was scented.
    Soap and glory hand food. TA smelled truly awful WNBA as the butter works better.
    Aussie winter miracle shampoo WBA nice smell. Doesn't leave me feeling ultra squeeky though.

    Ins: Body shop Olive shower gel and a bar of soap. Mothers day gifts.

    Bio oil but that's for my son's scars.

    I realise I haven't used any face care all month! So busy. I've just washed it.

    Also I have come to realise that I prefer lotion to body butter in a big way. Which means I have a lot of butters that might be GA. I might keep the champneys and sanctuary spa ones but ditch the soap and glory.

    PP for rest of march and april.
    Garnier night and day creams.
    Bodyshop vineyard peach body lotion
    Sanctuary spa hand cream
    l'occitane cherry blossom hand cream.
    Soap and glory clean on me.
    Boots soft pink bubble bath
    Flake away body scrub soap and glory
    Aussie winter 3mm
    Kind natured mint and rosemary shampoo (why did I leave this so long? My hair seems to love it.)
    Nivea deoderant.
    Body shop olive soap

    I don't seem to get through stuff very quickly.

    Is there a no buying uneccesary cleaning products thread?.....
  • An unexpected UU:

    L'occitane Shea Butter Foot Cream. WBA. Love this but now moving on to my Aveda foot relief.

    I like it and find it effective when I remember to use it:(with it being the every other night application I just forget. With every morning applications of FAB pads/Pixi Glow/Dr Dennis Gross it is simple to fit into my routine.

    I have a 50ml and another 200ml so need to get using it, bought as sets as I love their spf50 moisturiser, when we go away in the caravan for 3.1/2 weeks in May I know I will be too lazy to do it then:o I have sensitive areas on my face so always start by building up to any new product, with the LG I start with a slightly damp pad and ramp up gently from there.

    (I have recently learned that one of my medications makes me more prone to sun damage, so need to be really on the ball with the spf if using acid type products as well)

    UU: small tube of No 7 Illuminator. This is nice. I got it because my primer was making my foundation look matte however this mixed with the primer did the trick. I have another small tube of this in my stash.

    I have a few items that will be finished this month:-

    Bath & Body Works Vanilla and Coconut hand wash
    Bumble & Bumble B Straight Crème (making that pft sound)
    Philosophy Bubbly shower gel (I hope anyway. Don't like this)
    No 7 wipes. Will be finished later today.
    Tommy Girl fragrance (hopefully).
    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!
