No Buying Toiletries in October Challenge

lostinrates

I hadn't used anything up for ages and ages, its getting a bit boring. I was edgy about a moisturiser, but I did find a half used decleor....then a half used moisture surge...so I'm fine for a while.

But this morning, I finished a bottle of radox bubble bath. we have a nother radox to use up ..which is weird, I didn't buy them...and the dregs of some fig and walnut, which is too good to use up. I haven't painted my nails for ages, in fact my finger nails look very ratty. and I've put own my epilator somewhere and don't know where.

Also, I opened a big bar of occitane soap for the bath when we moved and it STILL isn't gone. It looks very miserable and its quite depressing finishing it. I love soap, but only when its newish!

I've been good and resisted the BS bargains!! I had them in my basket and then closed the browser page!
No UU to report.

John Freida Brilliant Brunette shine shock - wiba - yes, love this and it lasts forever!

I love this stuff - gutted as mine is nearly finished and i don't really like the serums in my stash.

UU - sachet of Ginzing Origins eye cream. WIBA? If I get rich. Love freebies of expensive stuff-hate when they run out!

Amazingly, I've used up another soap, this time a Spa one that came in a gift set. It didn't have a fragrance to it but I must admit it did lather up nicely. I am now moving on to an Imperial Leather one. My OH uses soap rather than shower gel and used to use IL all the time but has now moved on to Dove, abandoning 2 unopened ILs in the process, so it looks like it's my job to use them up! I will continue to use shower gel for one or two days and soap the next so that I don't get too fed up with the soap. What I don't want to do is use up all my shower gels and then be faced with about 10 bars of soap that I feel I have to use up before I can buy any more shower gel! At least this way, I get into the habit of using soap and my shower gels will seem to last longer.

Morning all - something to lighten you up this fabulous friday morning...

I used this new fake tan again last night and I woke up this morning to brown face, brown body brown legs, brown arms, streaks on the inside of my foot and orange hands :eek: not the look I was hoping for!!! I'm thinking it could be due to the build up but it's nearly a week since I last/first applied (Sat morning) and it had started to fade (not patchy either!) hmm i have no chance of running to shops to find tan remover or lemons (they work to remove tan if you didn't know!) so might have to use foundation on the hands later :rotfl: . I'm hoping it's just from my point of view that I think they look orange and I will just look tanned tonight.
Think I'll be investing in some of those microfibre car cloths tomorrow to see if they work better than my mitts!!!!!

Hmm...onto UU's
1x Garnier 100% hair dye WIBA yes they work as good as any and were on offer in ASDA. I bought 2 but only needed to use one in the end so still have one (unintended) in the stash
1x Swarzkopf conditioner from previous hair dye WIBA to be honest I had forgotten about the remnants of this tube and used it the other night, would buy the hair dye so would buy this!
Hoping to use up a radox shower gel this weekend, the tressemme shampoo and perhaps a mascara

have a good day ladies x

ROSHY i shouldnt laugh, really but ha ha ive been there many a time...Hope you sort it some how !

Asset..i do that with online or even catalogue shopping i pertend to put an order in then delete it in a weird way it does give me a thrill still!

Oh ladys by the way random thought but you know if you have lots of soaps showergels talcs etc that are unopened and you want to bin or give away the local care homes gladly take them for residents, if you gift wrap them as a crissy present even better as many patients do not have any relatives and so won't reveive a gift at christmas..its a lovely way to make someone vulnerable smile (used to work in care homes so i got to see the smiles )

well off on holiday sunday so ive packed up loads of free samples ..can't wait to try them out xx

Roshy - I'm sorry but :rotfl: !!! Oh dear - it's probably not as noticeable as you think though. How about using face or body scrub on your hands - might lessen the effects a bit?

Noynoy - have a great holiday!

One UU here - my Avon frizz reducing shampoo. WIBA? - yes, it's extremely good and I will be recommending it to my customers for sure! No need to buy any more hair stuff for aaaaages though!

My John Frieda BB conditioner has also now started spluttering so has the tube cut open ready for next use. I have got out a Trevor Sorbie long hair conditioner and a Toni & Guy shampoo to move on to. Nice to see a little space on that shelf!

i know i would have laughed if it happened to someone i know, so thought i'd give you a giggle this morning!! i've had fairy liquid on it this morning - i work with men only so they have been wondering why i'm suddenly keen to wash up the cups! :rotfl: i think i'll give some scrubby stuff in the bath tonight, if not worse things have happened before so i won't lose any sleep over it!!!

noynoy have a great holiday, jealous of you getting away!

I know what you mean,my sister once gave me one of those things that you can put all the ends of soap in and make new soap......:eek::eek::eek: new soap is an inexpensive treat that I love and have to confess to throwing out grotty ends of soap before they are finished just to get a nice new one from the many in my stash:)

Actually, I wouldn't mind making mine in to ''new'' smaller bars with the ends, for hand washing, or shorter lasting ''seconds'' bars.
