No Buying Toiletries in June Challenge!

I've used up an Avon Aromatherapy Calming Lavender Foam Bath this evening by adding it to a bowl of water to soak my feet in. WIBA? Yes, I like the smell although I don't know whether they still make this range. I only have the occasional bath though and tend to use bubble bath mainly for soaking my feet! Also, I've had plenty of bubble bath/bath bombs in gift packs as pressies which will keep me going for a very long time.

My toothpaste will get finished either tonight or tomorrow morning. Colgate Sensitive Enamel Protect WIBA? Yes. This is my favourite toothpaste. My OH prefers Arm & Hammer Enamel Care for sensitive teeth and he's nearly finished a tube. So in MSE style I'm going to help him finish that tube first before opening another Colgate one.

A UU for me boots shower gel cant remember which one (it was pink) as i put it in a pump dispenser. WIBIA? no dried my skin up too much. got a few more open ones to go through then i can start on my body shop ones which i love.

I finally have another UU to report! I have used up the FCUK pure spray moisturiser. WIBA?: Not sure really. Got a bit fed up of it in the end and I didn't find it that moisturising. However, on using it tonight on my awful sunburn from today, I found it incredibly soothing and it has taken the redness right out.
I also opened up a molton brown mini body lotion but that's going in the bin because it reeks! I smell like a rancid old bottle of milk atm.

@Trudij, I've just put a 25L brew of elderflower champagne on tonight I've had a glass of one of the others too and I'm pretty sure that it's not alcoholic yet. Night night all, I'm pooped!

i've just UU my sanctury cream body wash. WIBA - not sure, it was nice, but i prefer the normal body wash from sanctury. Also in my cold bathroom it's a battle to get it out of the bottle, i almost gave up at one stage and i generally love sanctury stuff. I do have lots of the normal ones so it's going to be a while since i need to buy any.
was nice to have UU though for once

Nearly used up, last splutterings:
Champneys moisture miracle skin comforting body wash - wiba no. Gorgeous smell. Just like the lovely body butter. But the texture of the body wash is a bit too creamy. so you feel like you are washing with body lotion. shame as the smell is gorgeous.

Distilled witch hazel - wiba yes. Already have. It's only about £1.50 a bottle from Superdrug. It has a similar feel to the Clinique toners but not as harsh. I use it on the t zone only. Great stuff.

I started using gradual tanner. I resisted buying a self tanner until I use the one I have up. A month or so ago, everyone said what was their favourite self tanner. I think it was the Tesco own brand one and was it Garnier sun shimmer?

Cleared up last drawer in bathroom yesterday - managed to find another body butter from Champneys. I swear these things are breeding on me :rotfl: (and I have to keep walking by the BS sale which screams louder each day to buy a few "Go on, only a fiver")

Also a handful of samples which I will try and get through asap, another nail varnish (never opened) and some dodgy make up that hit the bin.

A couple of UUs - another Hyatt Hotel White Ginger shampoo, and a travel size Trevor Sorbie (I think) straightening conditioner. WIBA? No, it was far to liquid and didn't cling to my hair at all, so it didn't really feel like it was doing any good. Still got another one and then all the Botanics 3 Minute Miracle tubs to use so won't need to buy for ages anyway.

Just got tempted by the Cath Kidston sale and the fact that the cake stand I've had my heart set on for months was finally back in stock - spent £49.95! But £16.50 of that was for Xmas presents and £4.95 was delivery costs so not toooo bad...

In: a 50ml sample of Dove Visible Effects Body Moisturiser from the freebies board.

Going away for the weekend tonight so should use up a bit more of my travel size stash!

Hi all, 2 use ups to report!

• Head and Shoulders menthol shampoo. WIBA? Yes – I use this if my scalp gets irritated after colouring, or sun exposure (I’m outdoors a lot) and it’s a great cheap way to soothe it quickly. Only the menthol one though…
• Nivea Soft crème. WIBA? Yes! Can’t believe how good this is as a moisturiser, and it’s a bargain. They’re currently selling the tubes for 99p in Superdrug, and I’m so tempted to stock up, but I have loads of moisturisers to get through, so I’ve managed to refrain so far. It’s not quite as good as my Clinique DDML, but it’s not far off, and a fraction of the price :T

However, also a couple of acquisitions


Free:

• 3 Opi nail varnishes and remover – free with a cheap Glamour subscription offer! My current subscription is due to run out next month, so I thought I’d cheekily try to get a new offer with a freebie starting after that, and the nail polishes arrived yesterday! Lovely pink, amazing yellow which will be great for summer, and pearly white which I might pass on to a friend – I don’t know if I’d use that one. :A
• Free Dove body lotion sample – from Freebies board.

Bought:
3 x 750ml bottles of Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde reconstructor. Now this isn’t as bad as it sounds…. This is my Holy Grail conditioner after trying soooooo many! I’ve been keeping an eye on the prices at Escentual, as they fluctuate a bit, and yesterday I saw they had gone down again from £12.75 to £9.50! Which is very cheap for this, so I ordered – it worked out as £10.15 a bottle including delivery charge, so I’m really happy. These bottles are huuuuuuge and last ages, so I’ll be ok for conditioner for a while, and it’s quite MSE Still got a few dregs of various other conditioners to use up, but they’re all dying pretty quickly.

i really must get over to the freebies board, i think my problem is i hardly use up the stuff i do have so that would just be more in the cupboard. BUT it's free....
