No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge!!

trudij

Oh Katie - hope you are ok??

I think I will not need to buy anything this month - we took advantage of the dove deodorant offer and a 3 for 2 offer on toothpaste and mouthwashes last month, so I think we are ok for the daily stuff - I have little doubt that my nemisis body butter will still be going at the end of the month (!!!!) out of spite - not me not using it!! and there is still a fair bit of lush (boooo) soap and shower gel left over. will use that for bubbles when I run out of my waitrose one, and see what happens....

good luck everyone - think I might well do a new list soon - be interesting to see how much its shrunk... (if at all!!!!)

Have finally admitted defeat and thrown out the remainder of my Body Shop Watermelon Body Butter as it most definitely has gone off.

Have also chucked out a small pot of Next Pear Blossom and Lime body lotion as it is shockingly greasy and bad. It is essentially a lot of oil mixed up with some Tipp Ex and a bit of fragrance added as an afterthought. It came as part of a gift set present, and the hand lotion was just as bad. I cannot advise against buying this complete rubbish strongly enough. I can't believe they actually had the cheek to charge someone for that rubbish.

Nivea body lotion it is, then.

Have bought an eyeshadow £2.50 with £5 Boots voucher, and 4in1 wipes £1.75 with voucher, plus some mouthwashes and vitamins to get the extra points today. Now plan to stay out of Boots for rest of month.

Hi peeps:hello:

I desperately need to curb my toiletry spending, as I am rapidly running out of room to store it all:eek: I have so many nice things, but never seem to use or enjoy half of it as there is just so much to chose from if that makes sense lol I'm in the middle of spring cleaning the house this weekend, so the plan is to get all the toiletries together and make a list. That way I can see what I have, and be clear about what I do not need to buy in the near future. So I'll post my list here tomorrow if thats ok, seeing it in black and white will hopefully help me curb my spending and start to use up what I have:o

Splendid, c l a i r e: newbies always welcome. Just don't 'forget' to post your list of shame!

Today I bought myself a new toothbrush and a new eyeshadow. Is it wrong that I tested the eyeshadow on DS to make sure it would suit me? He didn't mind!


ETA: Katie, hope it was nothing too serious and that you are all better now.

I will be buying eye cream of some sort. Also, another use up, Estee Lauder daytime serum...I think its age perfect? any way, it was good I think, and I HATE the Boots P&P. Feel a bit seduced to see what serum I can get at space nk but not sure when I'll get there to see.

Toothpaste: on last tube, so going to look out for a good offer and not buy until then.


Finally I need a lighter foundation for summer and I think I'm going with dior nude. The sample was lovely and its a good colour match for me.

four spends, three of them biggish, but things that should last at least 3-4 months.

He's 6! Bless him, it was him who dragged me over there to look at them and he was desperate to try some. As I saw a colour I liked, I thought I'd try it out and actually apply it properly so he didn't look like a clown .
It was the natural collection moss green one. Dark browny green with a hint of glitter.
