    OK the only items left on my PP list are my Bumble & Bumble straightening cream and Liz Earle Skin Repair.

    So will add :-

    John Frida conditioner
    L'Occitane Pamplemousse Rhubarb shower gel (50 ml)
    BM Intense Serum Sample size
    Flora Mare Illuminatimg eye cream
    Original Nail Envy
    L'Occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream
    Lush Dirty shave cream
    Lush Mask of Magnaminty.

    Last night I TA a bottle of Pink Nail Envy. Consistency had changed too much.

    Today I UUed the bottle of Banana Boat Aloe Vera gel we took away with us. WDBA.

    The top two items are UU. I came home from work yesterday feeling rotten and have seen GP today. I have a skin infection on my face from a scratched insect bite I got on holiday. He's prescribed antibiotic. Anyway, feeling sorry for myself yesterday I ran a bath and used the last of the L'Occitane shower gel. WNBA (not sure I can as Ii was old).

    Had a shower just now and finished the conditioner. Need a new one.
    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 from last night:

    Noreva Sensidiane Micellar Milk Cleanser 500ml WDBA but not right now as I have plenty of cleansers to work through.This was a lovely gentle cleanser :)

    And one UU from this morning:

    Oskia Nutri-Active Day Cream sample 2ml WPNB. This was nice and fluid and moisturising. But I won't buy it as the scent is a bit weird for me.

    A few INs today:

    La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml
    Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Purple Toning Shampoo 400ml
    DHC Facial Scrub sample
    DHC Rich Moisture Facial Moisturiser sample
    DHC Extra Nighttime Moisture Facial Moisturiser sample

    My Escentual order arrived today and they included a DHC sample card with my order. There was also a sample of the Velvet Skin Coat but I don't wear makeup so I have no need for a primer. I will probably use the samples up in the next few days though.

    I'm in for April - thanks sstevo. Good luck everyone . . .

    asajj - I love looking at the I Heart range - they're almost prettier than the Too Faced blushers that I assume they're meant to be copies of. However I must not buy any more blusher.

    Necessary Ins would be deodorant and maybe some 2-in-1 shampoo & conditioner, if I can find one that isn't too utilitarian.

    UUs: Sanctuary spray oil - LHJ, kept forgetting to use it. Last of a big gift set that I regret buying even thought it was a bargain at the time.
    Macleans toothpaste, HG
    H&M eyebrow powder - I've had this since 2012 and it was perfect. Sad to see it go. Replaced with Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade, bought in about 2014, which may have died in storage.

    Two UUS this evening:

    DHC Facial Scrub sample WNB. I don't like face scrubs. Used as a hand scrub.

    DHC Extra Nighttime Moisture Facial Moisturiser sample WPNB. This was nice but a bit too rich for me.

    I picked up 4 copies of Marie Clare with the 15ml tubes of Elemis PCMC. Stash replenished a little.

    I need to order my Elemis Cleanser too.

    My rash is clearing a little. Not tingling anymore so antibiotics are working. Applied Chikds Play lotion yesterday and it helped a little with the dryness. Am hopeful it will start clearing soon.

    I have some uu

    Soap & Glory The Scrub of your Life - WNB, DD got a large S&G gift set for her birthday, she used everything in it a bit but they've all come to me to finish off, this wasn't scrubby and totally pointless to me.

    Bio Oil 60ml - this is nice but I would prefer something more natural so WNBA.

    One UU this morning:

    DHC Rich Moisture Facial Moisturiser sample WMBA. This was nice and light but moisturising at the same time. I might purchase a full size to test in the future.

    UUs:

    Me to you body lotion: WNB, part of a Xmas gift many years ago. Re-used as hand cream in the home.

    Superdrug baby wipes WMBA, nothing special but cheap.

    Ins: Bottle of castor oil, which was going to be thrown away. Will use on my hair as a hot treatment oil.

    African braid sheen spray

    Mum roll-on anti-perspirant Should not have bought this but I forgot I had a crystal rock in my draw, which I was going to use after my current deodorant finishes.

    Acca Kappa Green mandarin body lotion Hotel sample from a recent conference which I will use a handcream.

    Waitrose fragrance free baby wipes

    Resisted temptation to buy from Superdrug so quite pleased with myself.
