No Buying Toiletries in June Challenge!

Kaz2904

Another bzzagent here. I've not had a trial from them for a long long time because I keep forgetting to go on there. I went on there often when my children were pre school and did trials of washing powder tabs (which were lovely) and activa (delicious) and some crunchy nut flat corn breakfast cereal. Thanks for the prompt as I just went and checked and I have been invited to join the splenda trial. I rarely use sugar or sweetener in drinks but I use a fair amount of sugar in cooking. DS has sugar every morning in his porridge too. I will be interested to see what it's like as I'm very dismissive of sweeteners. My view is that if something fizzes when it hits your food/ drink, it can't be good for you. I'm happy to be proved wrong.
No UU's as yet.
I am rapidly going off No7 in all of it's forms apart from the P&P creams. I did PYNM and after 1 shift with socks on the nail varnish was all worn at the edges so I had to put on another couple of coats. Last night I decided to do my finger nails as I had a few days off. I was saying to DH that I can't believe the price, £6+ per bottle when we never pay that much for a varnish. I did 2 coats and this morning it has faded around the tips. It also has dents in quite a few nails. Not on my toenails surprisingly enough as they get more damage than my hands. I do like the colour, pink and sparkly but it's not one I'd go out and buy.
I've just had a conversation with a charming young man about parking. Now I know that parking is a contentious issue country wide. He has had his car parked in front of my house for 2-3 days without moving it. I collared him the day before yesterday to ask if he knew he'd shut his ariel in the boot (yes thanks, it happened yesterday!). This morning I caught him as he was shifting his girlfriends car. There are lots of lads coming and going from that house as there are 4 teenage girls so I wasn't sure if it was him. Asked if it was his car and he starts apologising and saying it will be moved today etc etc. I said not to worry about that, my only concern is that his car is going to be hit because we're in a narrow cul de sac and everyone turns by me. I just said to drop it down a bit over my gate and not worry about parking there and he was lovely. Very polite and thoughtful. Sorry he had left it there etc but it had broken down. Does he not realise he's letting down the tabloid view of British teenagers? I thought they were supposed to all be gobby and violent?

Grey and miserable here too today so I'm taking a chance that the wind will dry the washing before the rain comes. Please keep everything crossed for me!

I've got the washing out too - and I'm watching the weather nervously. It just seems a bit dark today.

UU to report I did a mini facial last night and finished up my Liz Earle Nourishing Treatment Mask and Gentle Face Exfoliator. WIBA? Yeah I would. I'm not big into Liz Earle products but these too really work well for me. The Nourishing Treatment Mask moisturises and leaves me with soft smooth skin without irritation or making my skin oily, and the Gentle Face Exfoliator is gentle enough not to cause a irritation but my skin looks polished and glowing when I use it so it must have some effect.

I've got plennnnnty of masks, some mini Dermalogica exfoliators and a Ren exfoliator to use up first though.

Dermalogica sample sachet Multivitamin Mask - Used Up WIBA? Nah. The smell aggravates my asthma and I'm not convinced that it does anything.

If anyone subscribes to Glamour and gets the concealer when they wanted the eye bright, let me know and we can swap!

Oh I forgot about the glamour offer -Thanks lillian1997.
Also for any girls who like Benefits talk to the tan (rrp £19.50) it let me have it by adding 2 sharpeners for £4 each and free delivery from store so a big saving or a nice spare gift.

Hi everyone, I've been massively busy lately, but do remember using some stuff up - can't really remember what, though! None of it worth buying again, so never mind. Haven't bought anything recently except for 3 Glamour magazines this morning :rotfl: The Botanics BB is still going strong :eek: On my last of the old-style Lipliciouses now, and utterly bored with them, so hopefully that'll be the next thing I use up.

Where's the sun gone?Raining here, but can't bare to give up on my flip flops!

UU"s
N-Spa Chocolate Bubble bath-Bought when it was on offer for £1 in Asda around Valentines Day.WIBA?No, nothing special-ended up using it on the kids at bathtimes. The promise of "chocolate bubbles" helps to get them upstairs...

Dove Deodorant Spray-my 85 year old Nan gave me this as she didnt like it..As a roll on girl, was pleasantly surprised, no white powdery marks.WIBA?probably not as I prefer roll ons...

I went into BS today and cheekily changed (they were still sealed)some of my Body Butters for different flavours, that i ordered in recent glitch-I seem to have got virtually all mango ones, so swapped two for Cocoa and Satsuma.The nice assistant gave me two sample pots to try-Moroccan rose, smells divine, and the japanese Cherry body butters, probably enough for each leg!

Hope the sun comes out tomorrowxxx

Used up some more skincare minis today: Mir Skin Silk Cream 10ml, Sophyto Silkening Cleanser 5ml and Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant 10ml.

WIBA?
Mir Skin Silk Cream - I have and will again. I like the masses of moisturisation in a very light texture.
Sophyto Silkening Cleanser Is fine, but nothing to write home about. It stings occasionally on damaged skin.
Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant Its effective, and I would buy if I couldn't find something with a nicer sounding ingredients list.

*trots off to find out about this aforementioned Glamour offer since Daughter In Law To Be LOVES Benefit*

Your future DIL is going to love having a MIL with such a big stock of beauty products!Benefit stuff is lovely, I especially adore their blushers-am a sucker for the gorgeous little boxes they come in.Coralista is my favourite, but currently using Sugarbomb. Not that i am encouraging people to make any purchases mind!

Do need to think about buying a new day moisturiser for the face, but Ill stick with one of the brands I know I love eg revitalift
