No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge

Alanis

wow! 3 pages of pasts!!
I'm just popping on quick to say

"Girls, if you are expecting a swap parcel from me, I intended to post today, but after writing down who asked for what and addresses, then slogging it to the post office to find they had no Jiffy bags in the size I need, I realised that I hadnt had anything to drink all day (this was about 5pm) and suddenly came over with a RAGING headache, so I just slogged it back home, nearly passed out on the walk from the bus stop, had a drink, curled up on the sofa and slept. It was about 9 pm before I could face getting up to even get ibuprofen =[
But The Partner came and spent some time with me, and I feel a little better now =]
So... I shall attempt to post again at the next available oppurtunity =[ so sorry!! =["

Also with regard fairies, I am also visited by all those mentioned =[ 32E boobs, size 10-12 waist, and 14 hips/thighs/bum =[ I live in jeans, but its so hard to find a good fit, I have to buy them in a 14 to pull them up over my hips, and then they fall down all day because my waist is too small =[ Cant see that changing any time soon though, because I horseride and my hips are actually quite boney
I've just started noticing my upper arms in pictures and I've developed abit of a neurosis about it so desperately trying to tone those up!

So thats my rant over =[ and im going back to sleep

Hope you feel better soon Alanis x

I reckon we should round these nasty fairies up and drown them in our cheapo shower gels :rotfl:

I recently got rid of all my sleeveless tops after I saw a pic of me sideways on at someone's b'day do. I nearly died :eek::eek::eek:

So now I have no summer tops but a great excuse to go shopping for new ones :j with sleeves that reach my elbows at least!

I was thinking about fat arms the other day when I saw a woman with worse ones than mine in a strappy top. If u have huge wobbly thighs (like mine) u wouldn't go shopping in tiny Kylie style hotpants would u? At least I hope u wouldn't:eek::rotfl:

You would be surprised:eek:

I was walking behind a lady today who must have been in her 50s, with true 'thunder thighs' wearing tight grey shorts that barely hid her bum:eek: She must have been at least a size 18 and was flashing as much bum cheek as she was leg :rotfl:

I didn't know whether to throw up my dinner or get my camera out to put a pic on fb:rotfl:

Now I have nothing against people in their 50s, size 18s or larger, people wearing short shorts... but a combination of the 3 in the high street?! No thank you :eek::rotfl:

My point exactly. Normal people wouldn't do it. Do some people have special mirrors in their homes that only work in the winter????
If u enjoy seeing badly/disasterously dressed folk then check out some of these delights http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/?page_id=9798&paged=14 :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well - I was doing quite well, then my QVC auto-deliveries turned up!! I had actually forgotton about them!! I can't send them back can I - it would mean paying P&P (not very MSE!)

So, budge up on the naughty step -

In, Laura Geller B&B (and eyeshadow, eye pencil, primer, blusher!) and ABC tea tree shower gell. I obviously bought the LG when it was a TSV because of the B&B. Bit peeved with myself as only last week I bought 2 B&B as I didn't have any 'in stock'. 's a HG product for me.

I will never, ever, ever have enought ABC skinwash in stock for my liking - you never can tell when a company is going to stop making a product, so I like to stock as much as possible in my spare bedroom. Again a HG for me

That's how I've ended up with a stash of BnB - sounds like it's the one I had as well although I stopped my AD a while ago. Is it the bone eyepencil? Thanks for reminding me about these - I think I'll have a look at the FB page later and pop this on and also maybe the Banish n Brighten concealer. Do you get on with this product? I find that it stings my eyes if I get it anywhere near them! Do love her blushers but got tired of the ethereal rose combo. Am using the sunswept one for work at the mo.

I have a couple of splutterers: 1) a 15ml tube of L'Occitane shea butter hand cream. Am actually more impressed with the packaging of this one rather than the full size as it's plastic rather than metal. Will be able to cut it open to get any last dregs out. Have put my 200ml tube of Yes to Carrots hand cream in my bag in readiness. Think this could be my new HG as it is slightly less thick than the L'Occitane one but very moisturising. Also have a L'Occitane Verbena handwash in the bathroom that is on it's last few squirts. Have two more of these in the stash plus a Philosophy Amazing Grace one I got for Christmas.

By the way am in love with the GoodWorks oil that I picked up on Monday. Have been applying it at night rather than toner and finishing off with my night cream and my skin feels so soft in the mornings. Getting the same result as I did with the Gatineu Melogenine Force Collagen Serum I've had previously. It's so expensive though that stuff and I found I went through a bottle in a month so couldn't afford to keep repurchasing.

Have a good day everyone. Off work for a long weekend from 5.00pn tonight.

morning ladies,

just a quick post and run, I have two uu's :j

Gok deluxe golden body butter - love the smell of this but not quite so keen on the slight golden sheen it leaves, might work better with a tan but I'm milk pale!

Molton Brown silverbirch shower gel - still working my way through the gift set I got at Christmas, this was nice enough but I wouldn't rush out and buy it.

Will come back later and try and catch up,

Have a great day ladies, xx

Yes VALM, I think we both ordered the same one! I never used LG blushers prevously, so was quite taken with ethereal rose! I'm sure when I'm trying to use up my second one it will be a different story.
TBH I don't use the banish and brighten much - I tend to forget I have it:o I may do the same and list it on FB. Must also get around to putting some other make-up on there. It may have to wait till the weekend as I'm on nights untill sat morning.

You know what my pet peeve is with women in the street - hundreds of somewhat larger ladies who go out in leggings, which are blatently several sizes too small as they go all stretched and see-through looking and they'll go wear just a short top. So you can see through the leggings, see pretty much thier skin underneath, including thier bum and knickers in all its glory.

I know I practically live in leggings and tights but jeez, I either wear a long enough top to cover everything or put on a skirt!
