No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge

A couple of in's to report, a fake tan applicator mitt, used AC points for this and it was £3.99 on the shelf but went throught the till at £2.37, also a cheap bottle of fake tan from Wilko's for £1.99, going to use them today or tomorrow and see if I get less streaks.
April has been bad for in's but I feel like there isn't anything left that I want let alone need so May should be good, fingers crossed. See you on the May thread and big thanks to sarah for setting it up.The devil makes works for idle hands0 -
No, I haven't. For buying this and the Sensodyne Pronamel I wait until they are on special offer and bulk buy them. It saves a fortune in the longterm. I'm down to my second last bottle, so I need to take a look around to find a good special offer.
I have to use this as I have stupid acid erosionand am hoping it will help!
Sometime they have it on really good offers in wilkinson."Things can only get better.................c/o D:Ream #The 90's"

A UU BS Moringa Body Butter small tub WIBA - Yes loved the smell of this!
Ooh and almost forgot UU S & G Clean on Me! Finally!!0 -
It was more funny than scary - there was one bit with the Weeping Angels that was spooky but as we were at the front of the crowd - and therefore the first to go into any new corridors - it's was more scary than if we'd been at the back
So my advise would be to stay in the middle of the pack - but it is suitable for little ones so it wouldn't be too scary anyway
TBH - as a fan but not a fanatic I think £20 a ticket is too much - but my OH (who's a DW nut) thought it would be good value for that price.
I forgot to list my UU's yesterday being so tired:
Ted Baker Body Spray (mini): WIBA? No - didn't like the smell
Boot Expert Sensitive Conditioner: WIBA? Still have one in stash - along with a couple of others - but I do like it so yes - when I need more
and now the IN's:
S&G Clean Mary (1 x 180ml/1 x 75ml)
S&G Righteous Butter (mini)
S&G Girligo (smaller bottle): I may swap this for the BB in my travel stash as it's to be used after a shower and I only ever get to use a shower on holiday
S&G Hand Food (125ml)
All from eBay - the 75ml Clean Mary was one purchase (won for about £1.50) and the other bits were in a set that came with a fabric covered vanity-type box and a bath lily/puff thing and cost me just over a fiver :T
I was very good yesterday though - we walked past BS in Kensington and the SA was outside handing out 50%off vouchers so we popped in .... and then out as I said there was nothing I needed so wasn't going to buy anything :T (although if I'm completely honest I would have bought a Wild Cherry Lipbutter if they had one)
Thanks Sarah - just talking it over now with my friend who is quite tempted.
One last unexpected UU for April - Gillette Satin Care Shave Gel 75ml. Had been in my stash for ages so I had wanted to UU and yes I would buy again.
Another £2 into my pot.

Just curious. Do you have an alternative cleanser that you use other than C&P. Only asking as I switched from it when they changed the formula but still haven't found one I like as much as C&P.
Also, I saw in Sainsbury's this week a new hair range (think it was called Happy Hair Days) and the packaging was very similar to MOP. Am thinking that I'll give it a go.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

Hey peeps,
I've not read through to catch up - think I've about 15 pages to read since I went AWOL! Have some lovely ins due to the fabulous Facebook swaps group!
However, I properly fell off the wagon today - got to town way to early for a haircut and fell into Boots by accident - found they are selling S&G righteous butter lotion 500ml for half price, so thought it would be rude not to - I love that stuff and while I have a fair few lotions and butters I have none of that in my stash.
Then I discovered the boots extracts body butters and just had to stop and sniff the vanilla one... Big mistake. I absolutely adore the smell, nearly went all weak in the knees in the store! So I had to buy one - I think this is a new HG for me!!
Off to catch up and join the may thread - I think an updated stash list and renewed vow nor to buy is in order! Am determined to stick to it for may!!! Xx0
