No Buying Toiletries in October Challenge
Comments
- 
            Just back from my holidays and took with me small sachets and samples that had been lurking.
 UU Neutrogena grapefruit facial wash - it was ok, had a nice smell but have plenty other facial washes to use up first.
 Another UU - Boots Mediterean body wash - nice smelly, good lather, may buy again but think it is discontinued.
 Also started some Boots No 7 GWP products - the eye cream and toner.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 time0

            Another uu to report,
 Boots gorgeous feet overnight cream - undecided on this one, it's very thick and has a pleasant smell but I'm not sure it's been all that effective. I think I'm still trying to find the perfect pedicure in a pot, all suggestions gratefully received!0

            I'd love to do this but I don't think my fiance could cope! He likes to buy new shower gel all the flippin' time. We have about 6 nearly empty ones in the bathroom right now and he'll probably get another this week sometime...
 I've noticed that Tesco Value 10p Shower Gel can double up as handwash, if you have an empty soap pump then you could pour it in there Oh and I have over 20 nail varnishes but I haven't painted my nails for at least a year, anybody want them? :P                        Savings £8,865.22 £/15,000 Aiming to save enough for a house deposit.0 Oh and I have over 20 nail varnishes but I haven't painted my nails for at least a year, anybody want them? :P                        Savings £8,865.22 £/15,000 Aiming to save enough for a house deposit.0

            Just claimed two Benefit lippys from Flake, I've given up on trying to find them in store to check which ones suit (because I can never remember which ones are prizes).It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

 Still perservering with a full face of make up to work everyday, much easier now i've got my car and not doing the 40min cross country walk in the rain and ending up at work with make up running down my face :rotfl: have just realised i've begun to slack on the eyeshadow so will have to look that out to ensure that they are being used up.
 Some ins to report: an eyeliner when I was at Asda (either maybelline or rimmel - can't remember!) as the one's I bought from BS are rubbish and do not seem to line my eyes! i do have one still in the wrapper so might eBay that and give the other one to my sister if she wants it.
 2x hair dyes as my hair is at a langth now where I need more than one carton to dye my hair - skin test is done so these will be UU tomorrow night in anticipation of the weekend back to boring 'deep frosted brown' as I couldn't decide on what colour to go! back to boring 'deep frosted brown' as I couldn't decide on what colour to go!
