    To the girls waiting on the elle mcpherson and S&G stuff, work has been mad! Posted them out this afternoon though, so hopefully you'll get them beginning of next week :)

    Use-ups
    another can of batistse - I love that stuff :lovethoug
    L'oreal conditioner, it's the white one with the orangey-yellow. WIBA? Nah, not a great fan!
    Tigi honey and oatmeal conditioner - WIBA? No, I think my hair's gotten used to it again :( Totally adore the smell though!
    Dora the explorer foam soap - this wasn't mine :rotfl::p Wouldn't buy it again though, she just ruins it *rolleyes* :p
    Sure there was something else, but I can't remember! :A

    Bought a bottle of head and shoulders shampoo, reduced to £1 and a bottle of linco beer shampoo for £2.50 - had to have it, cos I remember my mum using it when I was a kid :D

    Also received my free pantene sample this morning! Thanks to whoever mentioned it in the last thread :A

    asset that's not very good for it to have gone off, have you had it long?
    :( not that long , well maybe before Christmas since I've been trying to cut back since before this challenge started.
    I do really like this hand cream but smells really yucky, although my feet are far enough away that I shouldn't smell it too bad if I use it as a night foot cream! lol
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    I've just used a Superdrug Chocolate Mud Mask.....WIBA? No. It smelled like doggy chocolate (GoodBoy Drops!) and my skin doesn't really feel any different tbh. I much preferred the Superfruit/berry(?) exfoliating one, which I can't see online so might have to stick my head in store 2mrw and grab some if they're stopping them :eek: I won't be happy if they are:(

    two UUs today - Baptiste dry shampoo, the tropical one. WIBA? oh yes.... never heard of it before you lot started discussing it a few months back, and its amazing !!! Might try a different flavour next time thoguh - any thoughts???

    S&G cellulite cream (cant remember the name!) - WIBA?? no. not cos its not lovely, cos it is - but purely becuase I never flipping remember to use the stuff !!!!

    my L'oreal colour shampoo and conditioner are both spluttering, so will go over the weekend i think. WIBA?? no. I may be worth it - but they arent !!!!

  • Hi everybody, one UU to report - Veet wax strips, forced myself to use these today as they've been living rent free in my cupboard for far too long! WIBA - probably not, prefer painfree defuzzing (am big coward I know)

    I used my Body Shop samples of the new rainforest moisture shampoo and conditioner. Silicone free, paraben free, colourant free. Sounds good but my hair clearly prefers silicones, parabens and colourants. My hair is a mess after the Body Shop products. Glad I only had a sample rather than an entire bottle. Pity because I love the smell of them.

    1st-6th August No purchases:)

    Oh oh. Have a confession to make already. Bought the Laura Geller TSV. I have been good this year though and only bought a small fraction of what I used to from QVC but couldn't say no to this kit. Love Balance and Brighten and her blushers so will always need BnB in my stockpile and I can see the bottom of the pan of my Smashbox eyeliners so do need the eye rimz as well. Can't wait to try the pencil either as I was trying to get one of the free Benefit ones with Glamour mag but missed out.

    Also bought the Instyle mag for the free lip stain!

    Do need to go shopping today for cotton wool - will kerb my spending on the High Street though! x
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Came back yesterday from a hotel break and while I was away used up:

    Nivea Visage Smooth It Moisturising Scrub sachet
    Face mask sachet
    Botanics Relaxing Bath Elixir 75 ml (hardly ever have a bath at home but love one when I'm staying in a hotel, probably cos I have more time)
    Clairol Nice 'n Easy' Conditioner

    Acquired from the hotel room some miniature shower gel and shampoo :o. Also, whilst shopping at the local town came across a B&M and just had to get some Pearl Drops Toothpolish Advance Whitening (x 2) at 99p each. I know there's someone on here who likes this and I'm keen to give it a go at that price. I'd not been in a B&M before but I've had a search on their website and found one in a town that I visit about twice a year :D.

    Had a UU last night: a Clairol Nice 'n easy' hair colour.
