No Buying Toiletries in August Challenge!!!

bunnykins

No UU's for me either but my boots hand cream is spluttering :j

Can I ask for some advice though please?

I dont use foundation on a daily basis as my skin cant bare it (really sensitive) but would like to use it up along with loads of half used pots of moisturiser.

Can I mix the two together to make the foundation lighter so its more like a tinted moisturiser and if this would work what ratio of foundation to moisturiser would you recommend??

:A:A:A each and every one of you

Ok - I know I shouldn't have peeked but I was perusing the grabbit board and well..........

I noticed that Avon were doing a free delivery and that the skin so soft body oil was half price, so as insects usually love to nibble me and I'm on my last bottle - I've stocked up (only got 2 more bottles which should see me through and with free delivery was only a fiver for the two:j)

Sorry :shhh: - I am learning though as before I started this challenge I would have probably bought at least ten bottles :eek:

I'm rubbish at lines so can I do a detention instead???

More UUs:

Nivea Visage Light Daily Moisture Cream (15 ml) WIBA? Yes although I wouldn't describe the cream as light, it was slightly rich. I had been using this cream in the winter months for which it was more suited for my skin but I've been using it recently in order to use it up as there wasn't much left in the tube.

Burt's Bees Foot Cream WIBA? Maybe. I had this as a present about 2 years ago. I didn't like it at first as the cream was thick and difficult to squeeze out of the tube and so I only used it occasionally. If it wasn't for this challenge it would still be languishing in a drawer but in recent months I decided to use it more frequently and the cream has been coming out of the tube more easily and has been easy to spread (it had probably lost its fresh properties!). My OH thought it smelt like tobacco but I liked it, it actually has a honey smell.

I've also used another bath fizzer in a bowl of water for soaking my feet (every little UU helps!).

Have to confess to going in my local Boots yesterday as I needed to put £5 top up on my mobile phone and in order to get a No 7 £5 voucher in exchange. I need to go into a bigger Boots though in order to get more choice of No 7 items.

think I have done this in the past,give it a go you have nothing to lose!

bunnykins - i think the ratio will just depend on how you like the coverage/how your skin will cope with it? maybe start at half and half and add more of either until you get the right bit for you! i'd recommend mixing a sample on a sponge/palette/hand before you tip the whole bottle into something in case something goes wrong!!!! HTH x

podsbird

bunnykins - I do this all the time, but mix it on my hand each time rather than mixing into a pot.

Only needed to buy toothpaste and hair mousse so far this month - both were on a 2for1 offer at supermarket n boots so did well. Managed to avoid ALL freebie offers on magazines as well this month.......:T

UU Simple day moisturiser WIBA Yes, nice n light for summer, and nice and cheap too!!

Now using BS Seaweed but it looks more like a serum - anyone else have one that looks the same? Thanks

No UUs for me. I have one deodorant that is never ending i thought it would be gone weeks ago but its still going and its one that i dont like. I had one incoming Clinique 3 Step System Sample kit. I didnt pay for it it was free on the freebies board. I have been wanting to try out the moisturiser for sometime so this gives me the chance without paying for it.

Raven, when did you get your Clinique kit? I applied too but haven't received anything yet x

i did UU the last of the sanctury moisture oil spray and my decision about refilling the bottle was made for me as the baby oil isn't in my two boxes designated as (use up next, or the time after box).

bunnykins does the SSS oil actually work? i'm being bitten to !!!!!!y and just can't find anything to stop the beasties. I have got some of the oil as i'd heard about it properties but i'm not sure if i got the right smell, and i know i probably didn't use it enough.
