No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge!

Another use up!!

Philosophy Inner Grace shimmer body lotion. wiba? No, I like the edp but would not pay for/buy an expensive body lotion anymore.

Have got 2 x 30ml Gatineau Vital Feeling body products out of the stash (body sculpt and lotion) to use up. Thought I would get through a few small sizes to get my stash down a bit!!

Yes! We're all waiting with baited breath to see who can actually finish a nail polish - I'm not sure it's possible!

I'm fairly confident that it's impossible too! I have shades that I have worn seemingly endlessly for years but that are still about half full...

I'm a huge OPI fan too VALM - my current faves are 'you don't know jacques' and 'lincoln park after dark' suede. How did you arrange your swaps on makeupalley? I have used the site a couple of times for reading product reviews but I thought all the fun swaps bit was US only. I guess I didn't read it all properly - I might have to take another look - a swap sounds like it could be a good way to get a new product fix without breaking my challenge - or is that bending the rules a little too far!

I did have a great time, but I have to admit, I've gotten so used to my new beauty regime that it was quite nice to get back, and have access to all my face masks, body scrubs etc, not just the bits I took. I've covered myself in so much stuff since I got back!

On the plus side, I potentially have a new man, and he seems to like the effects Suffice to say, we have not been as restrained as Trudi

Trudi - I love reading your updates, keep them coming, and hope the next date goes well and he's not a control freak!

:rotfl: oh the restraint is definately NOT my doing.... :cool: to be honest, I still find it a little :eek: but Im getting used to it.... only text messages so far, but heck - Im not chasing him !!!!

I got rid of one Saturday - the one I bought to top up my colour from the manicure ( if/when I chipped them - but I didnt, yay me !!!), I knew i wont use, and when my friends mum was complaining that her lilac one wasnt dark enough, I knew I had a home for my sky blue one...

I've got some more stuff gone from my stash. A pink sparkly nail varnish WIBA?: Not yet, still got lots in stash, I was going to use it today but couldn't open it- nor could DH. 2 eyeliners- don't use eye liner as CBA. Lip pencil sharpener- was rubbish and don't need it any more. Virgin vie lip brush. Went to use it and it fell apart.
I've washed my eyeshadow brush and it was terrible. I do think that I need to replace it soon as it's looking a little sorry for itself.

Went to Boots for the first time since February today. I had 2 250pts vouchers for No7 skincare. Checked the pts machine and it was offering 200pts for No7 cocooning body butter. This was also on 3 for 2. I tried some and wasn't enraptured. I know that friends like it so I have bought 3. They are now in the gift stash. £25 spent and 1200 points earned. I now have 2603 points so will have a nice amount ready for when I buy further gifts or do any Christmas shopping.
I found it odd that I wasn't able to part with any of my hard earned in order to expand my own stash. I must be learning- espescially as I checked my stash before we went out and saw that I had lots of new stuff ready to try out at a later date!

Hi Ffix, which OPI colours did you buy? I'm a sucker for Clinique, Benefit and OPI when in the States myself too. x

They're actually "Sephora by Opi", which means they're Opi, but the colours might not quite match the normal Opi range.

I got "Meet for Drinks" and "Mr Right Now" which i have just put on. It's the perfect combination of deep pink and red, and "meet for drinks" is a very subtle shimmery purple-red, so nice.

Who was posting about Origins Drink Up? I love that mask, had one and used it up, it is totally fab and a definite WIBA if I ever get to the end of my face mask stash!!

Tara747, it was me! I agree, a definite WIBA for me as well. Well worth every penny

I have got 3 samples of facial masks at home still in my cupboard. The Heavenly hydration moisture mask by No7 is the worst mask I have ever used, got used up as a hand cream instead of a mask.

Enjoy using up your face mask stash

Evening all,

:(Felt a bit ruffff all day today (migraine) so not in the mood for pampering - I know, the surprise of it! So will make up for it when I hit the sack.

:mad:I ****stupidly**** bought a body lotion in the £ shop. Isabella Rosellini's manifesto I think it is but the smell is awful (couldnt smell in shop as plastic shrink wrapped and boxed). Couldnt believe how quickly I slipped back into buying stuff not tried before. Oh well, it's off to the charity shop. Think I bought it cos I have no body lotion!!! Need to get some Champneys body butter pronto!

Night all.:A

I do love it, it's the best mask ever and I intend to treat myself to a new one when I get to the end of my stash. Enjoy :beer:

At least you will be doing something nice for charity!

I am so proud of myself ladies! I went into Boots as I have a baby present to buy and I'd heard they are having a mini mode sale. Got an adorable little babygro reduced from £18 to £5, paid with points and left without looking left or right!! Well, not quite... got ambushed by the OFLs but scarpered without spending anything!!

I didn't need a hairwash this evening but had a quick non-hairwashing shower just so that I could use some more body butter (still using the hemp BS one, it is sooo thick, probably not a WIBA - might use it as hand cream). I am going to try bringing the other two from the glitch back to the shop to see if I can change them for different ones.

Not used anything up for a couple of dys but am working on an Umberto Gianni sea salt texturiser or something like that! Also nearly finished a Diesel perfume, can't wait! Not keen on it at all!

Had my nails done today as OH got me a gift voucher for Easter, they are now a lovely deep purple! I don't know why I bother buying nail varnishes that I can't put on properly!

Haha!
It is! it was very hard work, but i paint the old dears nails at work, and we used up the end of a red one, granted the whole thing only took 2weeks to use (lots of hands)!
