No Buying Toiletries in July Challenge!!!

scubaangel

No UU's today but due to beginning a product test I have decanted the remains of my Tresemme in to smaller bottles for taking on holiday and chucked the big bottle, so am reporting it anyway. Yup I would deffo buy again, in fact when I requested that my Dad get me some more shampoo and conditioner it was Tresemme he bought so I have another in my stash for when the product test is over (lasting 4 weeks and I reckon it won't be far off finishing the test product after 4 weeks).

Good luck for your husband's op, Rosemary.

I've used up the conditioner that came wth the Boots hair colour that I recently applied. Luckily, the conditioner was only a small tube as it smells horrible (a chemical smell)!

I've only got a slither left of a honey soap that I've been using recently (will use it up as hand soap). This came as two large bars in a box from TK Maxx. I liked the smell and it lathered up lovely. I shall look forward to using the other bar although I'm reverting back to shower gel for now.

I've also used up a small tube of Botanics leg firming gel. Nothing wrong with it but I probably wouldn't buy again as I prefer using a firming body lotion.

It sounds as insane as I feel I am. I found myself in the tiny toiletries section in my local Co-op yesterday (1 shelf about 2 metres high by 1 wide) trying to decide what I needed. I already owned everything that was there, that was a sort of wake up call.

I can imagine! I've realised recently that whenever I'm out shopping I always go to Boots, even if I don't need anything from there. So nine times out of ten I come out with something that I really didn't need. Last two times I've just browsed, albeit wearing a angst-ridden expression, but still; it's progress.....

Oh yeah; and I used up a body wash, toothpaste and a mouth wash today. I'm a bit of a dental hygiene fiend, so the last two do count!

Finally: a Use UP!

Have finished a small bottle of 'Ralph' by Ralph Lauren. WIBA? Yes, but not in the near future as I have enough perfumes to get rid of, thankyouverymuch!

For anyone wondering what it smells like, it has a girly floral top and middle notes, finished off with a pretty masculine base note, so it smells girly, but not too girly as the base note 'hardens' it up a bit. HTH x

Glad I'm not the only Boots addict here. The "worst" thing is when they send you all those lovely Advantage double points offers that you simply MUST use

Afternoon,

I've got a UU to report Co Bigelow - Cinnamint Mentha Lip Shine. WIBA oh yes, however I'll need to wait until my next trip to the States.

Time to move onto the Lemon and Pomegranete one now. The States have a thing for pomegranete at the moment.

I don't get points offers at all.

Maybe that's a blessing in disguise though :rotfl:
