kadison - my nails are brittle and peel too, I use the OPI when I paint my nails and they are better with regular use of it.

Body Shop Vanilla Brulee Body Butter - lovely but expensive for what it is.
Una Brennan Pore Purifying Clay Mask - this does a good job of drawing out bumps, I WBA but can't see anything on the tube to suggest it is cruelty free so would have to look into that when I actually need a mask.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

17. Inepto Coconut Cream Body Lotion I bought this from either Bodycare, Qualitysave or Savers type shop for 99p as the intention was to use it on MRM's feet. He was a bit of a diva and turned his nose up at it so I've been using it myself. At first I was using it as foot lotion but thought I'd better use it all over as it was a 200ml tub and would have taken forever. Weirdest consistency ever. Was like a souffle. Was really difficult to rub in however did leave my skin very soft. WNBA as it was too much like hard work. More inclined to buy the Hawaiian Tropic Coconut body butter.
Have a Dove lotion and an E45 lotion on the go now.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!

One UU today:
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm sample WNB as a full size. I did not like this, I'm glad I only tested it on my hand to see how well it would remove some make up.
And two INs today:
La Roche Posay Cicaplast Levres Lip Balm 7.5ml
Bleach London Hair Elixir 50ml
Some goodies bought using the Boots voucher I was given by my work colleagues for my birthday0 -
Three further UU:
Ren grapefruit and neroli body lotion. WNBA. A bit too gloopy for me.
Ren emollient rescue cream. WNBA. I think there are cheaper creams that do the same.
Yu Be moisturising skin cream. WNBA. Nice and moisturising but not great smell.Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN0 -
Question for you all, I'm getting married in a few months and I'd love to have nice nails rather than needing to get fake ones put on, mine are very weak and can peel or break very easily....is OPI Nail Envy the product of choice for you all or is there a better alternative?
I like OPI Nail Envy. If you are going to buy it though go for the original rather than any of the other variations as I found that those did not work as well as the original one always does. I alternate between using this as a base and OPI Infinite Shine Base Coat. I do notice a difference in the strength of my nails if I don't use Nail Envy though.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

One TA today:
Primark x Alex Steinherr Facial in a Stick 6.4g
I am never going to use this, I have buyer's remorse. It does help take off the matte lip liquids from The Body Shop that I have, but I'll never use this.0
