No Buying Toiletries In September Challenge!

fixx

I unexpectedly finished another bottle of shampoo last night, hurrah! Only 3 left in stash I think…

Urban Culture Tone up shampoo. WIBA? No – but don’t think I can anyway It was donated by a friend who bought it in Australia! It was very good at keeping my hair non-brassy, but didn’t lather well, and just didn’t feel that nice to wash with.
Boots Nail polish remover wipes. WIBA? Yes – not brilliant, but handy for travelling. Only 2 left, so I used them last night after I bought a new pack for my hols. The old tub was at least 5 years old, and only taking 2 little wipes on holiday would have been silly.

I did have to buy a few things yesterday as well though, mostly for my holiday next week.
2 x Soltan sun lotion – cooling spray version. I love this, it’s amazing for hot locations. I’ll only take one with me (SPF25) and leave the SPF15, as I’m already taking an opened 25 and 15, and a factor 50 lotion. I’m not sure I’ll need the new 25 or not, but with sun lotion I think it’s always better to err on the side of having too much, rather than too little, especially as I’m blonde and irish! BOGOF at Boots.
Boots nail polish remover wipes, moisturising. Again, to take on holiday.
Boots Detox brush – to start body brushing. All the above were bought on points, so no actual spend!
Also got a Superdrug own brand insect repellent. I did look at getting this in Boots as well, but they were all cheaper in Superdrug, so £3.99 spent on that.

I just showed Bronnie's suggestion of eye make-up to DS (6) and asked if he thought I should start wearing it like that. He smiled and shook his head and said "It looks frea.... No actually, it doesn't look freaky but I think you shouldn't do it. Wear it like a clown instead!"
So, this one http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://torontoist.com/attachments/toronto_jamesh/2007_08_07clown.jpg&imgrefurl=http://torontoist.com/2007/08/the_ex_is_comin.php&h=866&w=640&sz=118&tbnid=1HU7BVbEpVYd4M:&tbnh=261&tbnw=193&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dclown&zoom=1&q=clown&hl=en&usg=__h4C1ic2vHq1VHQx0r6DBFxzrp8M=&sa=X&ei=W-6QTKL-E4bc4AbRj6jsDQ&ved=0CCIQ9QEwAA or this one http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.mywebpower.com/graphics/comments/cat/halloween/trick_or_treat_scary_clown.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.mywebpower.com/generators/swinging-heart-maker/&h=316&w=450&sz=137&tbnid=ROEm-ycTuu7-5M:&tbnh=89&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dscary%2Bclown&zoom=1&q=scary+clown&hl=en&usg=__EvMVjVgB8b8Ar1-TNvAlUlXu7Yc=&sa=X&ei=4u6QTMWdNKmL4gbRxLjUDg&ved=0CDAQ9QEwBQ for the school run tomorrow?

First one would use up a good amount of cr*ppy old stuff on a daily basis I reckon.....maybe save the second one for that special TOTM?!:rotfl:

Some UU for me too...

1x Elvive conditioner (white bottle) WIBA yes its nice and hydrating
1x Boots natural collection passionfruit bubble bath/shower gel WIBA yes its bubbles well and is lovely and fragrant - a bargain for the price, although it has been sitting around for a couple of years!

I have a feeling I had something else to report but it's gone from my head now!

Well done on all the UU and welcome newbies!

He was overcome by the smell of all out perfume and scented moisturiser and had to step outside for a while for fear of fainting!

*Offers clothes peg to the gent*

UU -Pantene shampoo-WIBA? no not this one as it is a shampoo and conditioner on 1 and I hate those (was using up boyfriends!) but I like other Pantene shampoos.

Went to £1 shop today and ignored the toiletry aisle! yay for me!

THanks Dignity1 for the headsup - I need to stock up on the Body Shop Seaweed moisturiser. Will look out for that. :money:

Not posted here for a while. I've been good and not bought anything I don't need. Only thing I bought was the Garnier caffeine eye roll on thing - I've found I can use it over my usual eye cream. So the cream nicely battles wrinkles and this green roll on thing helps tighten (temporarily of course) the skin around the eyes. Woo hoo.

Went for a treatment at a salon recently and the young girl said you're skin looks much better.... I was oven the moon especially as I was now only us the BS moisturiser above and not fannying about buying / wasting / trying to use lots of others. So not only does this challenge help you keep money in your pocket it can also help your skin - which is probably saying thank goodness she's not messing about with rubbish anymore!!!

I avoided buying a Clarins set I saw yesterday - it was one of those Travel packs with lots of bits in - none of which I needed and so I walked away £40 not wasted. :money:

See y'all later - happy pampering and happy avoiding buying duplicate toiletries you just don't need. :A
