No Buying Toiletries in June Challenge!

I don't have the time, inclination or energy to do a complete stock take in one go, but thought I would do it little by little. To start with I have just picked up a bag of shower gels which consists of:-

The Healing Garden Mandarine Sensations Sunrise Body Cleanser (not much in that so might start using it up)

Boots Fresh! Chocolate Fix Body Wash (140ml, part of a gift set, full)

Radox Daily Elements Deeply Cleansing Shower Cream (250ml, present, full)

Dove Body Fresh Fresh Touch Body Wash Cucumber & Green Tea (250ml, either full or very nearly)

Oil of Olay Moisturisiing Body Wash (200ml)

Oil of Ulay Moisturising Body Wash (200ml)

Softsoap Vanilla Brown Sugar Moisturising Body Wash (354ml, nearly full, bought in USA at least 5 years ago!)

I think most of this stuff should be on the Antiques Road Show lol, as I think very little of it is still available to buy!

I am presently using S&G shower gel which is nearly full but am going to try the Healing Garden one again as there doesn't seem to be much left in it.

Clinique wash off gel cleanser finished up this morning. WIBA? - yes, definitely - it's really nice stuff and seems to suit my skin well so I'd happily use this again. By some miracle it is apparently still made as wel - unusual for anything I like! I have a half-used Neutrogena one to go onto next.

:T:TMe too. I can't believe how little I've bought this year (so far) compared to last year. I've deliberately chosen stuff I'm less keen on to use up first, but now I'm starting to filter in favourite products, and am really enjoying just using them. It is better to use something when you really like it, than to hold on to it till you're sick of the sight of it! And I've learned that there will always be new things out there to appreciate, so I needn't buy stockpiles of anything (unless it is an insane bargain) :rotfl:

:A:A:A:A:A some people are just too goood!!!!!!!

Still not bought anything this month apart from the Latest in Beauty £1 text sample box - feel like a saint! Am even using up a Lush shower gel that I think has been open about 8 years...not good considering it's organic but I will be good!

Started using Botanics serum capsules again this morning, seem to have loads of these and I'm not sure why, there must have been a glitch. They're nice, but again, I'm not convinced serum really does anything. My Biotherm night cream is still going strong after being cut open!

Not really, I still have a horrendous herbal tea stockpile, and a compulsive underwear-buying habit, to name but two!:rotfl:

Finished off a bottle of Anne French cleansing milk. WIBA? Definitely. I've been using this on and off for years now, and it's absolutely brilliant at really deep cleaning.

I'm not replacing it just yet, as I've still got some Avene cleanser left, but I will if my skin starts to look a bit dull.

Used up a couple of small Lush soaps - HIWTHK and Snow Cake - and finished a Comforter bubble bar. However, I have to confess to buying a Ceridwen's Cauldron and a Sex in the Shower yesterday. Lush truly is my only weakness - everything else I can put back on the shelves!

Lynseydee = hope you're throughly enjoying your trip with your Mum!

Yes I did thoroughly enjoy my trip with my mum. We decided to go to the Thermae Bath Dpa on Monday afternoon and spent most of our time in the roof top pool. It is absolutely amazing especially when they turn the jacuzzi on. We could have spent hours in there but we only had a two hour session. We decided it was definately a place we would visit again.

We had our treatments yesterday and I had an amazing head neck and back massage and a lovely facial using Elemis products. I am glad to say though that despite me looking not too bad after the facial I can't say it has made me want to rush out and start buying all the products she used so at least I've saved myself some money there and not adding to my already overly large stash.

Before our treatments we used the hydra spa beds at the hotel and have to say they are amazing. They were like the pool at Thermae but the jets were more aggressive and you could actually lay in the water. I felt like I could have stayed there all day too :rotfl:

Mum and I have decided we would like to treat ourselves to something like that again and have we are going to look into somewhere a bit closer to home.

On a plus note I let my mum walk away from the hotel with the toiletries in the bathroom so well done me :T

:wave: I was exactly the same hon. I was overwhelmed and exhausted at even the thought of it.

Breaking it down into bite size chunks makes it manageable cos - as you say - you can do a bit when you have the time, inclination, and energy.

Well done on making a start chick! :T

UU I've used up all of my Armani Code, and Jo Malone Grapefruit little sample vials now. WIBA? Yeah I would. The grapefruit is an essential for me. It's fresh fruity and clean smelling and the Armani Code is a bit warmer and sexier for when I'm in that kind of mood.

I'm down to just DK Black Cashmere now - which isn't very summery or fresh, and I have to be in the right frame of mind for it - so fragrance might turn out to be my first purchase since I joined!

In the summer I love love LOVE Philosophy Unconditional Love and Jo Malone Grapefruit, but I would like to try Pomegranate Noir or Wild Fig & Cassis too.

Look like I'm going to be on the naughty step soon as well! :eek:
