No Buying Toiletries in August Challenge!!!

Jacks_xxx

:wave: Hello my lovelies,

I haven’t been about much this month, but I’m still on the case I promise.

We've had another Swap Fest evening, and I acquired some Bobbi Brown Long wear make Up Remover which I love, some Bobbi Brown Brush Cleanser, which I haven’t used yet, a couple of Nails Inc minis and a brown Laura Geller I Care waterproof eyeliner which is really good! (I didn't expect it to be. )

I dug out my surplus brushes from almost every TSV I’ve ever bought and took them along for swaps since I don’t really have much else left that I want to swap away It was my turn to take all my nail polishes and we did everyone’s toes again. (I’m a better filer and buffer than I am a painter and one of the other girls is a really quick neat painter so we got a bit of a production line going!)

We did mini facials with face masks from my extensive collection, so I’ve finished up a couple of those.

Next time we’re having a lady come and thread our eyebrows so long as there are more than 8 of us.

We also had a Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner masterclass, and I lent out a few of mine until next month so people could have a good practise at home. With the proper BB brush everybody was soon getting the hang of it, but practise makes perfect doesn’t it?

I have a few UUs to report, but I’ll do that tomorrow since it’s so late.

Big Hugs xxx :A

Mitchum spray deodorant in Powder Fresh. WIBA? No. While I like Mitchum deos, my boyfriend thought that I got a bit stinky wearing this one. It was partly that the scent didn't suit me, but it's a shame, as I have another 7 of these in my stash (and some in other fragrances!).

I've never got on with fragranced deodrants, they don't seem to mix well with my body's chemistry! For years now I have only bought unscented ones. I used to buy Mum but now buy Simple which I can get from Home Bargains .

500ml Pantenes are on sale in Tescos for £1.95 each at the moment - including this one.... dont know when they finish at that price though....

Oops, I shouldn't have read that! I had the Aqua Pantene shampoo and conditioner freebies which I started to use on my recent hotel break and liked. The samples came with a £1 off coupon for use at Tesco, so guess where I'll be heading for soon ...

Oh - I'd forgotten about that voucher, I wonder where it is?! Thanks for the reminder.

I bought some more No7 facewash with the voucher yesterday and also some roll on deodorant with 50 extra points. Need to go back and get some more Smile toothpaste now the 50 points coupon is back in the ACM, they didn't have any in stock. The facewash seems to last ages so will only get one for the stash this time but could do with some more wipes.

I got the voucher because I bought 3 for 2 Mum to Be vitamins as mine have nearly run out - used a 250 points coupon that they sent me as well.

Having used all my herbal bubble bath I am using Boots sanctary bath stuff up as I have two bottles of it. However, it doesn't have a nice smell or make many bubbles, so I'm mixing it with some shower gel and some lavender bath oil that I got from a charity shop and have had for ages.

Asda also have Pantene on for £2.00 at the mo.

A couple of UU's BS Passionfruit body wash, WIBA yes if it was on sale, a little goes a long way - but I have 3 more bottles to get through yet!

Salon Selectives (back from the 80's) conditioner WIBA Yes still as good as it was back in the day! The smell is fab am glad they have brought it back!
