Avon Instant Repair 7 Treatment Mask - this made my hair really soft.
Avon Tahitan Holiday Body Spray - I bought this as a dupe for Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess, it did the job and was waaaaay cheaper.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

One UU this morning:
Bumble and Bumble Thickening Shampoo + Conditioner sample WMB as a full size. I like the smell of this and I like how my hair feels even though it doesn't look any thicker.0 -
One small UU - Kiehl's Coriander Body Scrub sample. Nothing special. Probably wouldn't buy this. I'm using my body brush instead of scrub nowadays and most scrubs leave my skin itchy. This wasn't any different.ally.0

A UU at last!
Oral B Satin Tape 25m WDBA and will do, but I've got a different one to use. Cheap as chips and effective
I use this too, it's the only one that does a good job!
Have a good holiday VALM!
sunny_money - I'm an Avon rep and it's very dangerous for my stash so I know what you mean! On the other hand I have found new and cheaper stuff I like through them and I've made a lot of friends too.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2023

One UU this morning:
REN Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream 15ml sample WNB as a full size. I know that the skin on my face doesn't agree with this so I used this on my neck.0 -
UU Superdrug Cherry and Macadamia body butter - this stuff smells so lovely it makes me want to eat myself! My no buying goal went out the window as I discovered Superdrug had a BOGOF on body butters and if you bought four you could get a pack of Vitamin E products free. Oh dear!0

Have a great holiday VALM
2 UUs - Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser for Dry/Sensitive Skin. I was supposed to buy the one for Combination skin but this worked too. Very pleasant to use. I'd say more suitable for summer time. WMBA.
Elvive Hair Conditioner - just bought another one to replace this. I noticed I have a lot of bottles of shampoos so made a mental note of not to buy anymore..ally.0
