No Buying Toiletries in Jan 2011 !!!!

Yay, finally some UU's to report after my bath!

Lush The Comforter Bubble Bar WIBA? Well i have another full one in my stash! I love this scent!!!

2 x Lush Mr Butterball Bath Ballistic WIBA? Probably cheating using 2 in my bath, but these were from Christmas 2009, so i knew they wouldn't be as strong, so i used the two! I don't know if i like butterball, i don't think it smells of anything although it is very moisturising, i don't need to use a body butter or anything after a bath with one of them! I have a big bottle of butterball shower gel to try and get through, as it expires soon!!

well i've cruised the threads and chatted to friends, and read back a few pages on this one, but now i guess it's my time to confess!!
my Avon order arrived today, nothing duplicates anything i have in stock except the talc but as i use lots of that i have forgiven myself.
I have today received
Oxygenating scalp treatment, didn't realise it was a foam. This is my one problem with Avon, they never give you the details in advance of how they should be used, and sometimes don't really give you the instructions on the bottles either.
Reversalist Illuminating eye system
Soft musk talc
pearl shine for nails (what's this suposed to do again?)
speedry nail polish in sateen (unsure about this colour to be honest)

one UU - Dove deodrant, would buy again but have a few left in stock before i need to do that £1 in pot

Question : if ran out of something and don't have any more ( ie face mask ) can we repurchase?

not sure what the proper bosses would say but if it was me i would firstly say congratulations for using up your stash, then say of course you can my dear as long as you will use it, need it & get it when it's on a good deal if possible.

i like the boxes too but do you think someone would buy the contents - i've not heard rave reviews about them (!)

I dont know - but looking at storage boxes (pretty ones!) they arent much less than £10 each anyway,so I was kinda working on the "anything for the contents brings the price of the box down" theory... I dont even know whats IN the fearne boxes actually - what is it??!!

I seem to remember the (incredibly loose!!!) "rules" being that you were allowed one on the go, and one in the stash... (unless theres an offer on - then you were "allowed" to stock up) and with things like lippy and nail varnish, it was different colours were ok - just not a zillion browns/reds/greens/purple (you get the drift!!)

of course, they are open to interpretation.....

just read on facebook that DS2 has taken his girl to Rome for the weekend for her birthday!....all very nice but he has no job and has been living (and borrowing) off me for months:mad:

need to go to bed......why is it I can't be bothered when am "home alone" and stay up till all hours watching old tv????

lots to do tomorrow with church flowers and getting house tidy for DH coming home.....BUT feel like going shopping:rotfl:trouble is with being on the tolietry andclothes challenge what on earth can I buy anyway??????????

Decided half the fun is the actual shopping (the thrill of the chase to get a bargain perhaps?) and then the stuff just gets added to the stash:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

my problem being thats only about half!! i have a johnsons baby box filled with palettes!! and another filled with toiletrys!
does any1 know how long u can keep lipsticks for? i think my eyeshadows will be fine

My view with any cosmetics that you can see independently of its container (so not mascara or liquid eyeliner, for example) is to look at it, smell it, and see if the colour and the texture look right. Lipsticks are especially easy - does the stick still look smooth and even on the outside? Give it a sniff - you'll soon smell if it's off, it just smells "wrong". I would say you're right about the eyeshadows too - I've got some on the go that are years, literally years old. It's not like a mascara or an eyeliner that you're going to put right next to your eyes.

Well done for supporting a local small business...your Avon rep!

Pearl shine is meant to just give your nails a natural looking sheen - personally I'm not keen but I have customers who love it!
