No Buying Toiletries in July Challenge!!!

mineallmine

Hello shiny new thread for July,

No use ups today. Will check my stash to see what I need. All the while making the most of bonus times for stuff I need and use.

Night all.

My OH came out with another golden comment tonight. I'd just slathered Burt's Bees foot lotion on and he asked me what it was and said I smelt like tobacco! He's not a smoker otherwise I would have interpreted it as a positive comment!

OMG Thats scary :eek::eek:. That list is more than enough to stock a warehouse, never mind a shop :rotfl::rotfl:

Just what I was thinking - puts my stash to shame :eek:

Hiya
Can I rejoin please.
I originally joined back in Jan and found it was really helpful to keep m on track not spending. Over the last week I've found myself wandering down to the smellys when at Sainsbugs and wandering round Boots picking different items up.

Think I'm weakening

My stash is still going down, but its still there:mad: I have promised myself that I will NOT get into the state I was. Toiletries stashed everywhere.
Honest apart from cotton wool pads and anti-whiff, I have not bought any toiletries at all since 10 DEC last year!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Wow peedie that is some achievement!

The last of my St Tropez gradual tanner spluttered to an end last night. Hope the Garnier summerbody will be as good. The St Tropez stuff is idiot proof. I love it. As said before if the Garnier stuff is not quite up to scratch I will use it up on my legs. If anyone sees any St Tropez offers please let me know! To make the purchase as MSE as possible.

Hi all,

One UU to report Body Shop Aloe Vera Night Cream. WIBA yes, a little goes a long way and it made my skin feel really soft and sorted out the dry spots on my forehead.

Next to UU is the Olay lotion.

Keep up the good work everyone.

I was up early this morning and took the opportunity to do a bit more sorting of toiletries for holidays. I got out a toiletry bag that rolls up to a neat size but that you can unfurl and hang up to display all of the compartments IYKWIM. I never unpack this completely after hols, I just leave bits and bobs in there for the next holiday. So it was exciting to see what I'd got stashed in there! I was pleased to discover one shampoo and one conditioner sachet, a face pack and a hair conditioning mask. On the down side, I had to bin a small pot of nail varnish remover wipes with only a few left in which had dried up and a few dried up cucumber eye refreshing pads. So these will be two items that I shall be buying in July. Still haven't worked out properly what I'll need to buy this month - that will be a task for the weekend.

As I'll be on holiday in a few weeks, it has refocussed me and I am targeting a few nearly used up items that I want to make sure that I've finished before then.

Hi everyone - I'm in again for July. My spends in June were £1 on the Latest in Beauty box and £5.69 on a Time Delay night cream - but I did need one and I got 600 Boots points so really that was *Boots-logic* free

Hoping to not have to spend anything this month as I'm stocked up for everything, although I probably will do the Latest in Beauty offer again as it's great to have small sizes for short holidays. I'm off to Washington for a week in August and Jersy for 5 days in September so will need them.

A couple of small UUs this morning - Barcelo hotel Nourishing shampoo and Soap and Glory Clean on Me shower gel (travel size). WIBA? I'd probably womble the shampoo if I was ever in a Barcelo again, and would definitely buy the shower gel as it foams up really nicely, but will wait till the third off offer is back on (and not get it this month either way!).

Moving on to the Malmaison bottle of shower gel and a travel sized Trevor Sorbie straightening shampoo - not expecting to like this so glad it's half empty already!

My word, that's a big list! Had to snip or this page would be the ongest on the site... Scary stuff... Will be fun to use up though!

I bow to the master:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:




I'm also quite worried, it's been ages, and she was always so chatty - just can't picture her going cold turkey from the forums... Has anyone pm'ed her in the past while?

She must be so beautiful with all the toiletries used that the french males could not resist her and she now has a string of hunky lovers so why would she spend time "talking" to us?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

hope she is ok though.

I've got another UU to report - Sprite Flavoured Lipbalm. WIBA, nope! It was one of those crazy novelty purchases whilst out in Vegas. I found it made my mouth dry, could possibly have something to do with me tasting the Sprite flavour!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I now need to work my way through the moutain of Carmax menthal lipbalm! :eek:
