No Buying Toiletries in July Challenge!!!

I've finished up an Enchanted Sugar Crush Scrub
WIBA? Yes, hell yes! I LOVE these scrubs as they scrub really well but they're not scratchy and aren't oil based so I don't kill myself falling over in the shower. In fact, they're the best I've ever used. The only reason I won't buy at the moment is I have another 5 tubs to get through, all in different scents..... ;-)

Confession time - I've had to chuck a Rimmel Loose Colour Powder eyeshadow as it was impossible to use. The shade was a very pale pink (metallic) but as it is a loose powder it was really hard to use and kept falling all over everything. Also, it wouldn't stick to my eyes! So, WIBA? Nope. Not a hope. I shall switch for a Benefit eyeshadow that I've got nearly used up and try that. Bright orange!

Clynol volumising mouse WIBA? Yea, it works well and is £7 cheaper than the other one!

Had to throw out:
Davidoff cool water mini - wiba? No.
Cerruti mini - wiba? No

Had them for aaaaaaages, and I think they smelt a bit off :rotfl:

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

It probably was for me too, but they were good days - I got a good few magazine subs from the extra points too

I think my best was paying about 17p and getting 200 points for £20 odd worth of stuff :A

I plucked almost everybody's eye brows and filed and buffed a lot of toenails to earn my keep.

Everyone seemed happy with their swaps and getting some basic girly maintenance done for free. We're already talking about doing it again in a few weeks.

This post is getting really long so I'll do my confessions later! :eek::D

Awww, I'm jealous My friends aren't really into anything like that

Used up a body spray today, didn't like the smell much so I was so glad to finally be rid of it!

I have done this too. After joining this challenge I haven't bought candles, vitamin tablets and tea. When I use up any of these items I add a £1 in to my pot which I started when I joined this challenge. It feels good to de-clutter through actually using things up.:T

just to comment on what someone said above - I too have taken the challenge to other things, like store cuboard stuff, not getting more until i UU!!

I'm another one who has transferred the UU logic to other areas where I tend to get a bit out of hand. I'm also not stockpiling as much food these days. I am also trying to curb my tendency to buy more second hand books than I can read! I have loads of books to read and which I am looking forward to reading and yet still occasionally get books out of the library (I have one out on loan at the moment!). When I've read a book I do pass it on to a friend/relative or to a charity shop and so I class this as the equivalent of a toiletry UU!

I also have a bit of a thing about material shopping bags. I have accumulated quite a few from magazine freebies and yet still eye them up to buy more in shops. I saw some lovely ones in Accessorize at the weekend but even in the sale they weren't cheap and I managed to avoid the temptation!

:wave: Mine neither usually my lovely, They were quite put out when I stopped going on the Saturday morning trawl of the beauty departments followed by blowing £100+ in the hairdressers, nail bar and beauty therapists.

They were miffed when I refused to go to any more bliddy avon evenings, Body shop at home parties, or bliddy Virgin Vie Parties as well.

But this way is cheaper - and much more fun,

And no company rep stood there huffing and puffing disapprovingly when you all go off topic, and dissolve into silly giggles when all she wants is to get through her spiel, get hold of your money then go home and get her jim jams on.

We all brought drinks and nibbles and stuff we didn't want - and went home after afab night with new fab stuff, painted nails, and beautifully plucked eyebrows.

We're talking about doing each other's roots and or leg waxing next time! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Nighty night.

Got mine too. Not sure when I'll use them since I need to take my current shampoo with me on holiday and was planning to take it with me.

But while I was away I nearly finished my current travel size/sample bottles of shampoo and conditioner. Think theres maybe one more wash in the shampoo, although there seems to be loads of conditioner left as usual.

Whatever you do, don't do the waxing after a drink :eek: Ask me how I know :cool:

I thought it would be a good idea to wax my own bikini line, I'm whacking it on and ripping away merrily.. could hardly walk the next morning :cool::D

It sounds like an ace way to spend an evening - what's better than free, new stuff? :j

Ohh I'm moving to fairly near you then, was down there this weekend annoying my petboy and having an interview today. Horribly hot wasn't it! Although I was quite annoyed driving home when I reached Warrington and it started to rain again.
