UU
Origins night cream sample. Nothing special.
L’Occitane sugar cube for the bath. Nice smell, turned the water green. Didn’t make the tub slippery. I rarely take baths, so WNBA. Not even sure where it came from7 -
I finished neutrogena micelluar water. It is great but using up bioderma.8

UU: Tweak'd by Nature Dhatelo Hair CleansingTreatment. My foray into the Tweak'd range is over as nothing that I have tried has made a difference to my hair. Not saying it's a bad product but that my hair clearly does not need it.Hask Shampoo. Lovely but have switched to John Frida for now as it was on offer.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!

3 INs
2x Lush 7 to 3 cleansing wipes. These are biodegradable and I'm going to bring on holiday in March instead of a liquid cleanser.
1x Lush Tea Tree Toner tab. Great for steaming your face and you can keep the leftover water to use as a toner.
Used a gift card for these INs6 -
One UU from last night:
Oral B Satin Tape 25m WDBA and have done. Cheap and effective.

A UU - but not one I'm pleased about...
My Clinique Moisture Surge had the final tiny vestiges scraped from the pot last night.WDBA - this is a HG for me and it WILL be being repurchased just as soon as I spot a Boots Bonus Time offer.
In the meantime I have noticed that the Neutrogena Hydroboost previously mentioned is on special offer in Tesco so will wander in there at some stage to see if the one local to work stocks it. If not I'll check our local one on Friday when I do the shopping.
IN's this morning in the shape of 2 tubes of toothpaste - Poundland purchase, and deliberately bought two at once as this leaves me with less excuses to wander in to the store any tie soon and come out again having spent a fiver on tat.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

UU REN Clean Skincare Rosa Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser - finally! This lasted forever. Was passed on to me from my mum. Would not personally buy as I do not like rose fragrance but it was a nice product.
One IN - I purchased a Palmer's Coconut hair treatment, I have used it tonight, and as I have short hair I think I might get up to 4 uses of the sachet, I have sealed it with a clip

I rarely wear make-up, I use soap, not expensive creams and lotions, and use a really cheap shampoo, followed by a good quality conditioner. My skin has not dropped off, dried up or disintegrated and my hair has hardly any grey, despite beng in my 60s. I have saved thousands of pounds over the years and not missed the gunk that people plaster on their faces at all. I am really p'd off by all the adverts for supposedly essential luxury, worldwide products on TV that can't even get more than about 30 people to say that their products are any good. Everyone should look at the number of people surveyed and the number who agreed, which has to be shown on the advert to back up their claims - when L'Oreal etc can only say that 75% of about 50 women agree with their claims, it means they are trying to convince the country to buy something that only 36 people agree with. Would I buy something on the strength of 36 people's opinion? No way. Or do they think that more extensive survey results would drop their figures even more?2

used a sample of vichy vitamin c ampoule. i would not buy it as the packaging is maddening- a glass vial is wasteful, it might be a good product but the volume in the ampoule is too much for a single use.6
