No Buying Toiletries in August Challenge!!!

trudij

couple of UUs to report - body shop lemon perfume ( ) WIBA? YES !!!! (though i doubt they still do it!!) i love this - its from when they did that set of perfumes that you could buy and mix and match (if anyone remembers them!) I wont be buying again for a while though,even if its still about, got loads of perfumes to use up yet. do love love love this though.

Johnsons facewash and moisturiser sachet - WIB at all?? no. thought id try this cos im not liking my moisturiser that i got to replace dear john, and i dont like it at all. Ive sent off for a free sample of this all singing all dancing olay with mint - but can see me going back to the benefit one.

happy not shopping ladies !!!

Sophy

Another UU - a No 7 body exfoliator. Found it too gritty, it was only a GWP, but I doubt I'll ever buy it!

Another UU M&S hand and nail cream WIBIA? Yes if on offer. didnt do much for the nails but very nice on my dry hands. I also used up quite a few sample size moisturisers but none of them much good.

debidoodle

Evening Ladies
A couple of use up here

James Brown hairspray WIBA? NO total rubbish did not hold my hair in place.

Bliss minty soap WIBA? YES love the smell but have another in my stash.

Will need to buy some hair dye in the next week or so, cheaper than the hairdresser's.

And a request for help:
- does anyone else here suffer with a dry or bumpy/spotty back? I never used to but I have a small patch that just won't clear up. I don't seem to be finding a product that helps. Body butter doesn't work nor bio oil. Any recommendations please? I once read that taking cod liver oil can help for some reason. All help warmly welcomed! :A

Have you considered trying products containing tea tree? I found that Australian Bodycare products are really good. They do a body wash that I use when I get problem areas on my body, and I always, always have their body lotion for when I've got a rash/irritation/spots on my body too. I definitely recommend them!

fill get starting on a list later..im also applying for any samples i can get too eeeek out what i have, the worse problem i have is powder and foundation im very very pale so its very hard to get the right shade i did find one eventually by loreal but they discontinued it..even avons fair is too dark so if someone can recommend a very very pale yet cheap foundation id be greatful!

Have you considered using mineral makeup? Some of the companies make very light shades in that. I have tried a few different sorts, and you can get samples from most of the on-line sites for around a pound. I found that the samples last a couple of weeks without a problem. Lily Lolo or Elemental Beauty are both based in the UK and do very light shades.

also im using up my perfumes and still using some avon samples he he he ..but i found about 6 bottles of essential oils the other day and i know you cant use them neat on the skin but how can i dilute them for use? any ideas?

you could also try the Dainty Doll range by Nicole Roberts of Girls Aloud - specially formulated for very pale skins! i think that you can get it on asos now? a couple of my friends and sister swear by it x
