No Buying Toiletries in July Challenge!!!

brighthair

*creeps in*

hello, I'm brighthair and I have a few addictions. Mainly Lush, MAC, Sleek makeup, TIGI. I used to work for Lush so you can imagine how much of that I have! I also have at least 50 MAC single eyeshadows and pigments, 2 Urban Decay books of shadows, 2 more Urban Decay pallettes, and a Sleek one

Last thing I bought - Dermalogica pre cleanse and ultra calming cleanser in salon sizes. Cost £120 approx, but should last me ages and ages
I'm about to use up a body shop sample of rainforest moisture conditioner

Welcome, brighthair! :wave: Always nice to have a new member, although with all that Dermalogica stuff, I would expect you to have more than just bright hair.

I went to the Next sale today and came away with a bottle of Pure perfume for £5 instead of £12. I've head good stuff about Next perfumes, and this one really suited me. I've come to realise that I don't really have any summery perfumes as my other 'everyday' ones are quite heavy, and the only one I could use is lovely, but very, very strong, so would be a bit much on a day-to-day basis (or maybe I'm just trying to justify my purchase to myself.)

The only good thing I can say is that it cost much less than the clothes I bought there! :rotfl:

Forgive me girlies for I have sinned

Whilst collecting a prescription in Boots today, I noticed the reduced aisle so had a little look whilst I was waiting and happened upon some L'Oreal wrinkle de-crease serum marked to a fiver (it's £14.99 on their web site).....................

......and well it was just too much temptation - especially when the nice SA left me have it free with my boots £5 off voucher :rotfl:

If forgiven I promise to be a good girl and not enter either Boots or Superdrug or Body Care or even walk down the beauty aisle in the supermarket again until at least August

Does that mean you got it for free? If so, no forgiveness is needed and you get extra brownie points for super :money:-ing!

well I've used the Rainforest Moisture - sells nice, went on well, washes out easily. Sample size too small for my thick curly hair so I will be impressed if it looks good!

My skin is awful at the moment, I have a huge breakout on my chin - hormonal the facialist tells me :-(

Used up the wombled Malmaison conditioner yesterday so onto the 8 million (well, 7) pots of Botanics 3 minute conditioner now. It's lucky I like it!

hi InaPickle

It certainly was for free - I dont know who was more shocked, the SA that it came up as nothing to pay, or me for him letting me have it:j

i've scuppered my plans to use up all my shampoo's and conditioners quickly, i chopped about 8 inches off my hair yesterday
oh well it will help it all last longer and save me lots of pennies.

Another product has gone in the bin today, YSL lilac mascara. I wont buy this again, it made my eyes look smudgy. My £1.99 mascara from Boots gives a better result than the one which in the bin now.

Bunnykins - well done for getting the product for free, what a bargain.

I still have some from the tesco health and beauty vouchers

Loads of my stash dates back to the H&B days not sure I will ever get through it! I think this was where my major problems started as it was so easy/cheap to do, along with many Boots glitches along the way:o

I feel I have come a long way since first joining this challenge in January and not just with toiletries, I seem to be doing this with a lot of things I buy or don't as is often the case nowadays! Still can't turn down freebies or almost freebies but at least they don't have much impact on my pocket and I usually only get 1 or 2 whereas in the old days I would have got loads.

A few use-ups this week, but nothing to write home about so no WIBA as most of them I probably wouldn't unless they were giving them away and I have replacements already in place - shower gel, handwash, toothpaste x 2, body lotion. Also a few throwaways I decided I did not want to use as didn't suit. I still don't feel as if I am making any headway on my stash.

Hi everyone,

Not been on here much as doing loads of decluttering. That includes this stuff so:
Benefit Eye Bright and It Stick - WIBA yes (already have with that freebie magazine offer) - love both these products. I have binned them as I cannot remember how old they are (not a good thing with eye make up) and I'm pretty sure the eye bright in particular (as so old) probably irritated my eyes recently. I line my eye with it much more natural than a bright white pencil I find for me.

No purchases as not been out! But I need some decent self tan as the cheapie one I got was not good - the Garnier sunshimmer think its called. Maybe my skin is drier than most hence so patchy on me. Also faded really really patchy. So that will be a planned buy.
