No Buying Toiletries in October Challenge

Evening ladies...

A UU for me - BS Lemon Body Scrub WIBA Yes it was nice and i love lemony fresh fragrances but it was all much of a muchness - unless a glitch is on i think i can get the same quality elsewhere for cheaper. Also it seemed to leave a waxy residue on my skin!!

and (drum roll please) I think I may have used up a nail varnish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its struggling to come out of the bottle even when tipping it up on it's side so I may have to face defeat and throw it out its just a george corally colour called 'magical' and i love, love, LOVE this colour so much soooo gutted so if i can find it again i will buy it. Down side it that it goes on as more of a glaze and dries almost matt? but once a couple of layers are on and a top coat is on then its good enough for moi!

have a good night x

I've UU a 75 ml Botanics Quenching Body Lotion. WIBA? No. I've used one of these before and liked it first time around but this particular one had a musty type smell to it. Maybe I'd had it too long :rotfl:. Also UU a sachet of Nivea Radiance Boosting Eye Cream.

Morning girlies!

TWO UU's here this morning! Woop woop!!

Both were expected - the Crabtree & Evelyn shower gel WIBA - yes, or rather, like the body lotion, I would hope to get given it as a present again! Also P&P serum - WIBA, definitely. Love this stuff so will certainly restock at some stage. At this point though I shall go on to using the part bottle of another brand that Mum passed to me recently. Plenty of shower gels in too so no spending needed yet!

been a bad girl(again!)went to town just to be naughty in the B shop,bought £53 worth of Clarins to get the 4 treats plus the two extra for buying 3 items:eek::eek::eek:
went for the cheapest options though with the melt gel cleanser which I love and use daily,shower gel which smells divine and some eye shadow base which also use every time I use make up,now have 6 extra items to try useful for holidays:)
only annoying thing was Clarins girl who I showed my 4 vouchers to and said which is the best to use or can I use all,she just picked the 1st and scanned it then said you can't use any more and would not cancel sale(had not even paid then) and use the higher value one:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:I find it hard to work out the best deal from the double points or a set number of points but she managed to pick the worst possible one to use,only saving grace is it was one to use that day printed in store and the others last to Christmas but don't often spend that amount of money so may not use:mad:

hope that makes sense ladies,just watch out when you use the vouchers.

also got £5 no 7 coupon off her so bought the new mascara which comes with a nice eyeshadow palatte for £7 instead of £12 but then got yet another coupon for £5:eek::eek::eek:......made my escape then before I got locked into Boots forever.

washed summer curtains yesterday to hang out on the supposedly sunny day today....so far it's raining:(:(:(

ESSEXH I second your idea of 15minute blitz - I do it with music - roughly 5 siongs then done! It actually really makes a difference and is sooooo much easier to do than a whole evening!

UU: Random hotel body lotion (used as hand cream) - WIBA? NO don't think I would even liberate it from teh hotel again it was rubbish! Glad to see the back of it! have now brought in another hotel miniture to work to use as hand cream but this one is nivea and smells lovely!

I'm a fan of the quick blitz to music as well. Even my daughter does it. :rotfl:

Ooh No Mally on QVC today after all. That's got to be a good thing for me!

Damn, I ended up having to buy something today! I stay at my boyfriends at the weekend and thought that I'd got through my packing a bit quick. No cotton wool pads, curly hair stuff, hair grips, and, not really relevant to this challenge, but no underwear either!!!!! :rotfl:

I ended up having to buy stuff today but think I'll leave some of it here to save me bringing it every week.... and forgetting it again too!

Other than that I've been good, I keep seeing stuff on E.L.F I want though but have resisted so far. I think the only thing I could really say I need is eyeshadow primer. Although to be honest I've lived without using it so far so I guess it's not too important!

evening ladies, i am still keeping up with the challenge. couple of UU to report...
Imperial leather bubble bath WIBA yes nice product got it from the pound shop so was a bargain. i don't actually have any in my stash, this is the case with quite a few products now where i am only buying replacement products as and when.
Orgins never a dull moment facial wash WIBA yes this was a lovely product only needed a teeny amount so it has lasted ages. only have one small facial wash in stash which is only half full so might buy this again soon.
Clinique fake tan WIBA product was ok it was GWP have a lot of fake tan products in stash which should keep me going for a long time.

Am i the only one who was really excited to get the boots xmas catalogue this week...

Don't worry, you are not alone...I picked up a copy today and can't wait to devour it from cover to cover! I'm busy this weekend though and so may not be able to look properly until during the week. I've flicked through to have a peek and unsurprisingly have spotted lots of lovely things!

I also nipped into Tesco and spotted a Clairol nice 'n easy Root Touch-up in a shade suitable for me, reduced to £1.99, and so I bought it! I don't feel guilty about this though as I only have one hair colour left plus one Root Touch-Up which has one application left in it. My UUs so far this month total 10 compared to 5 "ins", so far so good.

I started to use a sachet of L'Oreal Matte Morphose Foundation in Beige Natural today but felt it looked too pale on me and so although there were easily two more applications left in it, I've dumped it. I think I've got another couple of sachets of foundation to try and so I'll give them a go over the course of this week on days when I'm not too worried about my appearance!
