No Buying Toiletries in October Challenge

fixx

I was lucky - not too stressful as a friend was buying mine for me along with some other friends - he rang me at 9.20 to say it was done! Amazing. (I was also on the computer trying in case I got through first, in which case I would have bought for us all).

I think part of the challange will now have to be working out what is the bare minimum of toiletries I can last almost a week with in mud?! :eek:

you definitely were lucky!!!! you're also lucky you're not near me i am muttering strange words that if typed would have symbols like *£%&!!! in it under my breath at you!

well i don't know about the bare minimum but it will give me a chance to use up several packs of baby wipes, a bottle of alcohol hand gel which is in my car as it's too big for a handbag, at least one lot of aftersun/body butter (to moisturise our tanned skins after the glorious weather we can expect! ), sun tan lotions, a tube of bronzing lotion, dry shampoo, travel shampoo/conditioner/shower gel for my portable shower pack, mascara, body paints lurking around from a neon disco (....don't ask! ) and various other unloved items from my stash which will get 'too covered in mud' to bring back home with me! :rotfl:

Oooh, I have no body paint, but you've just reminded me about a stash of glow sticks I have - those must be brought and used! What's the chance I'll have forgotten about them again by the time I have to pack :rotfl:

I might have to experiement with lush shampoo/conditioner bars before Glasto - am I allowed to put those on my xmas wish list (even if I buy myself in the sales )? And dig out my solar shower!

Batiste and wipes are definitely essentials!

Sorry i might be completely off course but for all BS fans does this smell like the brazil nut one that was discontinued - i ended up really liking the scent of the brazil nut one and when I went to replenish, alas it was no more :eek:

Been very good so far - managed to resist all temptation of buying the magazines to get the free hand creams and nail varnishes. My Boots Naturally Perfect (or Perfectly Natural) Mineral foundation is sputtering and nearly gone, so then it'll be on to the Avon Anew Cream Foundation. Sticking to this challenge is really helping.

Hurrah - a UU!!! Crabtree & Evelyn La Source body lotion - WIBA? - this was bought for me as a present, and although I don't usually like lotions so much as creams or butters, I must admit this one is lovely! The smell is lush, it absorbs well, and yes, I would happily use it again - not sure about buying for myself though as it is quite pricey!

Hope everyone is well - well done all with resisting the magazines!

Have to say I'm also struggling with trying to resist the Benefit limited edition sets - they are absolutely gorgeous - Must stay strong!

Another UU to report - Organix Vanilla Silk shampoo - have hated this, which is bizarre as I quite liked the conditioner, however this smelled like way too much like play doh, defnitely wnba.

Diasy is lovely, tend to buy it once a year-and what a lovely bottle (you either love it or hate it!)
Coralista, my no 1 blusher -the only thing that suits my pale skin, and love the little box!
