I'm taking two items out of my stash and leaving them in the bathroom for my family members to use:
Brushbox Mint Flavoured Floss 50m
Curaprox Mint Waxed Dental Floss 50m0 -
A small UU from me - unbranded powder shower gel. This wasn't too bad. Powder would leather after coming to contact with water. Better than expected. Perhaps a good idea for travelling. No idea on the brand though so WNBAally.0

One UU this afternoon:
Tepe EasyPick XS/S 36 count WPNBA but these were nice. Handy for when on the go and I have food stuck between my teeth. I won't be buying again though.0 -

Liz Earle Deep Cleansing Mask 75ml - I liked this and found it quite effective, it washes off easily and I got a lot of uses out of it.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I forgot to mention that I bought DD one of the new Makeup Revolution foundation sticks yesterday, they have been getting rave reviews and the colour selection is very good (18 colours I believe), they are £5 on 3 for 2 at the moment which can be mix and matched with the other makeup at Superdrug. She also got the baking powder and a collection liquid lipstick.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

An IN: Rimmel waterproof mascara - I bought this specifically because it was the only waterproof brown mascara I could find, and when I got home found I had picked up the black one. Annoying!
Two UUs: No 7 Stay Perfect mascara and green eyeliner, two ended double - this was a real stash relic (2007) that I was holding on to because of the eyeliner but it HAS to go
L'oreal colour protect low shampoo - like the idea but my hair is too fine for this product
Scores on the doors for March: 9 OUT, 1 IN.0 -
UUs after this morning shower - Elvive Extraordinary Oil Shampoo - I liked this. Leaves my hair soft and bouncy.
Mono Ginger and Honey Body Oil - this was from LF box. I didn't like the ginger scent that much. It is meant to leather to form a cleansing cream but it didn't work for me.ally.0 -
