No Buying Toiletries in July Challenge!!!

Lemon_Tree

a UU for me last night - Nizorelle Shampoo - WIBA only if i had to as it's hugely expensive for such a small bottle of shampoo.

hoping i can finish the dregs of the huge bottle of Tresemme conditioner soon. does anyone else get fed up of some of the huge bottles? i must have been using this conditioner for years!

Dignity, you are a very naughty girl: just look what you made me do...

I bought 4 BS body scrubs for £15 the other day near work and then you posted about that sale online, so I returned them and ordered them again onlin

e, plus 2 body butters, one of which was necessary to take it to above £15 for free delivery, and the other just cos I wanted (but did not need it! ).

I would have stopped at just the body scrubs, without you Dignity. I hope you feel happy with yourself! :rotfl:

I'm going shopping today and will go into Boots to use my £2 off hair stuff coupon but keep thinking about popping into the BS for some £3 body butter! Will I be able to resist????

:wave: It says it's s'posed to

"lighten, firm, resurface and re-hydrate the delicate eye tissue."

but on QVC Alison Young harps on the resurfacing effect the most. I find it has made my eyelids smoother and the rough slightly purplish bit in the inner corner looks less angry and more skin coloured than purple. I don't have wrinkles or bags or traditional dark shadows (yet) which most eye products seem to focus on so this one is fab for me.

Ther QVC reviews are here: http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/app.detail/params.item.227729

Not everybody loves it. :eek::D

:eek: £30.00. Might have to try and see if I can get some samples to try before I spend that kind of money. How long does it ususally last?

Oh I know! :eek:

It's often available a bit cheaper on eBay - and actually there's a half size tube that was part of a set that is on eBay a lot for around a tenner. Plus, once in a while QVC do a duo for the price of one. (I grabbed that last time it was on)

When something works I don't mind paying the money so much - it's the considerable sum of money I spent on products that didn't do much for me that I resent. (Luckily mostly from QVC so they could be sent back.)

I've been using this for just over 4 months now but it's coming to an end. I use a partial pump every night and some days an even smaller pump in the morning. a whole pump is enough for about 4 or 5 sets of ageing eyes! The first time I used it I did my whole face and neck with it! :rotfl:

I bought my bottles of Tresemme (the 900ml ones) on New Years' Day. I'm still using them and I use it pretty much every day It's good though - the shampoo habit was one I broke quite early. It's shower gels and cosmetics I have a problem with

I think I've started having that mind set, that's why I've decided to start using LE C&P as I really noticed a difference from the first time I used it. Before I wouldn't have dreamed of spending so much money on a cleanser.

I suppose if I was to use it just once a day it would work out quite economical.

Sorry-just wanted to save us all money -£3 is an absolute bargain!
Sorry again, but enjoy!!
Good moneysaving by taking the original purchase back though!:j

Just had a bathroom and garden pamper sesh with my daughter and we have a bumper crop of UUs. :eek: :j

UU Liz Earle Deep Cleansing Mask. WIBA? Yes - eventually. It's a silky feeling clay mask that is the best thing we've tried for congested, lumpy bump spot prone skin.

UU Sophyto Bioactive toner 5ml WIBA? Maybe. I'm not a huge fan of toners and there are only about three I rate - but this is one of them.

UU Dermalogica Hydro Active Mineral Salts 28g sachet WIBA? Yep. I love my bath salts! I'm just not a bubbles girl.

UU Nivea Q10 Hand cream sachet WIBA? Probably not as it contains lots of ingredients I try to avoid, It also takes a while for all the silicones to evaporate and stop feeling tacky - but it is quite a good instant hand makeover product, I'll give it that! My hands and nails look great after I've used it.

UU Ren Rosa Centifolia Cleanser 15ml WIBA? Hmm... Not sure. Probably. It's a perfectly fine cleanser but I'm not totally in love with it. It's a gel textured foaming cleanser that foams a tiny bit but not much. It's best used after you have taken your make up off already. It's gentle and mild, soothing, cooling, smells good, and you only need to use a tiny bit but it's not the most effective cleanser I've ever used. I do however LOVE that Ren do all their cleansers in pumps. (so much quicker, cleaner, and easier!) I also love that Ren has proper integrity in their ingredients. They genuinely don't use any nasties - unlike many brands who try to align themselves with the "No Nasties" movement but actually contain quite a few things I'd prefer to avoid.I'm probably taking this a bit for granted because I've got used to having good skin. I had awful skin for a decade whilst I worked through every skincare brand at QVC. Breakouts, bumps, milia, rashes, flakey patches, angry red blotches, oil slicks, dry tight bits - I had it all (sometimes all at the same time! Since I've been rotating between A'kin, Ren, Mir and Sophyto with odd bits and bobs from other brands mixed in my skin has been lovely.

UU Hairfix 123 system 400ml 1 & 2 WIBA? I will definitely have to buy some of this soon. I swear by this stuff. Luckily I have some minis in The Stash to keep me going for a little while. I tend to buy one set a year and alternate with another shampoo and conditioner

UU Hairfix Heat Therapy conditioning treatment 25ml WIBA? I will if I can, but I'm not sure if they still make it. It's a really lovely conditioning treatment but a bit of a pain to rinse out and quite often when my hair dries I have to get back in the shower and shampoo all over again. I've got 14 to use up yet though...;)

Blimey. I'm off to update my big list now. I don't think I'm ever going to finish up something like a blusher though. :eek:

Mere pennies a day my lovely!
