No Buying Toiletries in July Challenge!!!

Sophy

Finished a sachet of cocoa butter, and a Time Delay face wash. Not bad, think I got it free with a voucher. Have more of them, anyway!

Lots of use ups this month and a couple of necessary purchases.

One of which was two sure deoderants (2 for £3 in boots) plus I had a £1 off voucher so that was good. Also needed a shampoo as had finished the last I had.

Use ups have been moisturisers, No7 P&P serum, shampoo, toothpaste, a deoderant and a body wash (the latter two having something to do with having two showers at least per day at the moment with the warm weather and working in the garden!!!). All of the products are things that I have more off in my stash (apart from shampoo and deoderant) so some new ones out of my stash and into use at last.

Cant see anything else finishing this month and definately won't be buying anything else. Roll on August :T

went into Boots today and was good through no fault of my own.
tried to use the £5 voucher on two sanctury moisturising tubes (think i saw someone here do the same) but was told that they were minitures therefore not allowed. i did point out that as there were no larger sizes how could they be minitures but she was having none of it.
Oh well at least it help me keep to the pledge.

Another UU for me a face wash i dont know what it was as i was doing it for a trial but it was nice. this week i got two big tubes of tinted moisturisers, a bottle of cleansing milk and a huge tube of eye cream but i didnt pay for them. all from boots to trial so a good week for me although it dosn't help me with using things up from the stash.

Some INS and some UU's here.

UU : S&G Scrub, Actually body scrub. WIBA? Yes, I would, if only they would put it into a pot rather than a tube - very effective and smells gorgeous! Getting it out of the tube is a bind though. If I see it in Boots clearance again I'd certainly buy some though. Only other UU was a pack of cotton wool pads - no need to buy more as have 2 more in the stash.

OK - stuff in then: the body scrub was my last one so I went to boots yesterday. Did try the clearance store but it was a bit poor there yesterday and came away with nothing to add to the stash - hurrah! Popped into the main store and made use of the three for two offer - one Botanics one as mentioned in a post just above, one S&G one, in a tub, and not Flakeaway which I don't like, and one FCUK o e to try as the freebie. Also got a couple more of the Pearl Drops toothpolush from the 99p stores - am using my last toothpaste at the moment and at 99p those are a good bargain.

One more 'in' - OH bought me an epilator for part of my birthday present - it's a Phillips Silk Epil one and was a bargainous £30 from the Boots clearance store. Used it last night and this morning and I think I'm going to get on OK with it! Fingers crossed as much better than shaving and cheaper over time than waxing too. Legs only though!!!!

essex i wish we had a boots clearance store, we've just a got a tiny store with some witchy staff. (not all of them i hasten to add)

Boots clearance is the way to financial ruin LT - rejoice in your freedom from it's clutches! ;-)

Hurray, another unwanted product has been used up. Weleda's calendula weather protection cream this would probably be a good alternative if you like elizabeth arden's eight hour cream and much cheaper. I think I paid around £4.50. I don't like that type of cream so I wont buy it again. To use it up I used it as a neck facial cream while doing my weekly facial.

Still not bought anything in July. Will have to buy cotton wool next month though.

Good luck with the challenge.

Hiya girls have some UU to report
1x Charles Worthington Brilliant Brunette shampoo WIBA yes it does the job although not a favourite of mine - much prefer John Freida's Brunette range
1x BS Honey & Oatmeal facce mask tub WIBA YES! It was gorgeous and left skin baby soft and moisturised - the girls used it all up on sunburned faces!
13x various suncreams
6x after suns
1x BS Moroccan Rose BB WIBA Yep it was nice and lightly rose scented but have moved onto a mango one now which i like also!
1x mark hill blonde conditioner WIBA it was on that amazing offer from earlier in the year and if i could ALWAYS get them at that price i would be stocking up still!!!
4x Jungle spray

Purchases:
1x egyptian esscences base of Miss Dior Cherie - very MS as i paid about £17 for the equivalent of a litre of the perfume (this is only the concentrated oils not the alcohol tha would make up the perfume so only one drop on pulse points/in bath/in burner etc). Stopped me buying up at duty free!
1x large tub of tressemme hair masque to replenish hair from sun (half used up on hols so bought back with me)
1x nail varnish remover (rubbish local one!) and 1 tub of cotton buds. left both at the hotel as have enough at home

well done on the UU girls keep strong!!x

Each time I go near a body shop or in Boots I think of this thread and I don't buy stuff - it's great, and thank you all!

Ok, so I've used up a Benefit Bad Gal Lash (Free from a mag aaaages ago) - WIBA? No, I think the brush is too big for me and it isn't as good as some I've tested. If it's free, so be it though!
Also used up the dregs of another bottle of Boots Botanics Eye Make Up Remover, but this is an ongoing favourite and I will buy to replace this as I have no other eye make up remover products. Still wading through all the body butters, but as I don't like how sticky they make me they are slow in the using. :S
