No Buying Toiletries in June Challenge!

mineallmine

EH, that doesn't sound too bad (hoping to gain moral support for what about to cough...). I bought some lipgloss before I went out last night. A Bourjois mini from the station - did I need it? Did I hell?! It was pricey about £3 for a tiny size and supposed to smell of menthol, i couldnt detect anything except a lighter purse!
Lipgloss is my nemesis. And a bit like nail polish I never recall getting to the end of a tube... oh well today is going to be a better day.

Finished a Sanctuary 24 hour moisture lotion this morning. I really liked it, and it has a very reasonable price - will buy again. Hopefully will finish a box of nettle tea today as well.

Does anyone use and can recommend a foot file. I don't think slathering my feet in cream is going to be enough.

Am catching up after falling badly behind, but I got one from Tesco for 97p, and it's good. Better than the Body Shop one I had before!

I got the 'Grumpy Cow' shower gel Becky and it smells lovely, really fresh and uplifting. What's 'Knackered Cow' like?

Thanks thevicster,"knackered cow" smells of lavender and eucalyptus and is really relaxing to use at night.

Morning all

Another UU to report, finally used up Goodworks good looking body lotion this morning. WIBA? No way, for me this lotion was light but I still had to rub it in. I like my body lotion really light and am definetely not a body butter person so I am so glad to finally throw this lotion in the bin.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

I bought Marie claire to get the free cowsheed shower gel. I got "knackered cow" and it's lovely. How are the other ones like?

Have a nice weekend.

I have never used Cowshed products, but these names really made me laugh and make me want to try them now! :rotfl:

No UUs to report today but I've got a couple of shower gels, and a hand wash nearly finished.

Incomings: 4 x skin care samples from Oskia. Did I need to request them? No! But I will very much enjoy trying them as I will never be able to afford to buy them. Getting little freebies occasionally seems to be keeping me on the straight and narrow with not actually buying any more toiletries, as it feels like a real treat when they arrive in the post! yay :T I'm easily pleased I know! :rotfl:

Keep all the reviews coming ladies - I love reading them. As someone else mentioned, I am starting to compile a list of things I would like to try (when I've cleared my stash of course!) :A

Have a lovely day everyone
Love from Candice x

I agree with your sentiments! I had a 7 ml sachet of Vaseline Intensive Rescue Moisture Locking Cream sample come through the post today and as no money has exchanged hands I feel virtuous! Anyhow, I have used up my body lotion sachets (excuses, excuses!)

I feel the same, I love getting samples through - it's a free treat!

There may be a spend on Monday however, just received a Boots mailing with 500 points on Time Delay and I think there's also a 100 point voucher in the ACM, so will see what I can get that's cheap.

A few small UUs to report:

Barcelo hotel volumising shampoo. Quite nice but took ages to come out of the bottle! Would probably pinch from the hotel again though if I was ever there!

Lush Sonic Death Monkey shower gel. It's really really old, I hate the smell but perservered for the last week and it's finally gone. WNBA, the smell is too weird, but it does lather up nicely.

Hyatt hotel White Ginger body lotion. Nice but too thin. Still have a few in the stash, probably wouldn't pinch this one again!


Going to a Gaylord hotel (tee hee) in August in Washington so will probably bring a few goodies back from there.

Thanks for that, tried to get the Scholl party feet one and because of the bogohp offer in Boots they'd sold out in both Boots I tried.

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.
