No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge

scrappie_2

Also I UU a Champneys skin care wipes. Bought these out of B & M Bargains for £1.50 and still have one pack left. I quite liked them but wouldn't pay full price out of sainsburys (not sure if you can still buy them). WIBA? Maybe depending on price but I have been converted to tesco cheapie ones. Fiasco55

Just to say - I stayed at a Champneys resort last month and was talking to one of the therapists, apparently MrS is no longer selling there stuff. They have done a big deal with Mr B and will be relaunched later this year!!!

Oh heck - it was far easier to avoid Mr S than it ever will be avoiding going into Mr B. Looks like some advantage points could be used up when all the stuff is in the shops!

Number of NSBD in April so far - 2 -100%

FINALLY I can report UU S&G Flake Away.
Thought it was going to last forever.
WIBA?
Not sure. I liked it at first but it leaves my skin sort of greasy and I smell rather like a candy floss when I've used it.
Plus I fund it really hard to rinse off and then cleaning the bath/shower afetrwards...
So no prob wouldn't BIA.
But I've got some smaller pots of it to use up plus some other brands before I need to decide what to buy next....

Am enjoying reading these impressive stash lists, lots of people have a clear loyalty to certain brands,

I am trying to use different brands ( i.e. not L'occitane) and trying the recommendations on this thread - my brand loyalty is waning....

Also bev97 - are you a QVC addict like me?? Looking at your stash - half of it is under my bed I think!!!


Still counting my stash.............................

Past few years whilst being a SAHM with the kids QVC was on all the time and now I am weaning myself off it and realising they brainwash you! I have not bought a TSV for 6 months only bought some LE skin tonc but my stash shows that I have bought rather a lot and still using some stuff up from two years ago! Will get through it eventually!

When I was growing up I had a family member who was quite senior in the organisation of The Body Shop so spent a fair amount of time around the products. Any bets on how old the products are? My guess for the white musk is about 10 years...

I can't believe people have the nerve to sell it -or people actually want to buy and then use it!:eek:

Got the Daily Mail offer today -TBS moringa BB. Well for 80p.......

Am definitely in

I have been "lurking" on here since the end of January and have been putting £1 away for every UU. So far have saved £66 so am delighted. I confess on loving the DTD board but have not bought any toiletries other than Timotei which is for my OH and that is thanks to following this thread. I'd hate to think how much Olay I would have bought by now if it hadnt had been for this challenge!!! I have discovered so many things since doing this, the main one being that I can't face any more S&G, I was addicted to buying it but never using it so now after using it so much I don't think I'll ever buy it again (Can't believe I've said that!) I shall be here for at last a year wading through all my stuff but am determind to work my way through it all(Ok who am I kidding probably five years)LOL

Evening ladies.

Had a super long day and arms hurting so much can just about hold phone and type on it. Went to work, washed car, made lunch, ate (my only meal today as only one had time/energy for), stripped bed sheets, removed mattress, cleared out bed drawer, handwashed most of my scarves & shawls, vacuumed, moved bed, lost the will to go on All this (well the stuff at home) because I found mouse droppings :eek::eek: when opened drawer to take a scarf out. I refuse to sleep there til its all cleaned and I catch a mouse. By hook or by crook. I don't keep food or anything edible in my room. I think it smelt my Lush stuff. I feel violated!! :eek::(

UUs:
Pantene Shampoo 500ml (the repair one) - Started showering and found sister2 had finished this & not told me. Was not happy at having to get out to get another shampoo out, especially when only just had strength left to wash hair. WIBA? Have one in stash which just opened. Maybe at some point, but after current one have a S&G Glad Hair Day in stash.
No7 Radiance Revealed exfoliator (full size) WIBA? Not sure it actually did anything for my skin, other than feeling refreshed.

Did PYNF yesterday with new 17 peacock colour, but after today, almost half has come off

Not doing anything tomorrow other than more cleaning as my mum's away visiting her dad abroad. Have a lovely mother's day everyone

ETA, somebody once mentioned liking the Stila foundation or maybe it was tinted moisturiser, can't remember who sorry, but just to say there's some reduced on Brand Alley (you have to sign up - foc - to view items available )

Another UU to report from DH's bath. Lavendar OS shower gel. WIBA?: Probably, got a few there at the moment though.
I've just put on the BS hemp foot protector. OMG, it's divine! It feels like the soap and glory butter which I didn't like the smell of. I can't smell anything at the moment so I'll see how I get on with it. Night all, have a nice Sunday

Oh dear, it's only the 2nd of April and I have crumbled already.

Was in bodycare buying things I actually needed, like dental floss and dry shampoo, almost at the till when I saw Pantene enhanced layers conditioner, 400ml for 99p so I picked one up. Oops.
It was a bargain price they must have discontinued the range.

And no UU to report to balance it out!!

Night everyone

hi all, pampered my nails on friday night, soaked them in a bowl of warm water and baby oil, i couldn't find any nail soaky stuff even though i know i have a bottle (i think) so thought i'd give it a go. I tried to use some Avon nail polish - one where you highlight an area with a second clear coat which changes the colour of the base, but it was [EMAIL="!!!!"]!!!![/EMAIL] . went on terribly and didn't change colour. I have only tried it once before and came up with the same results so i've binned both bottles.

I do have two ins to declare from yesterday. Picked up the Q10 day and night creams in Lidl as they were 99p each. I'll give them a go. I'm using a No7 freebie pot at the moment and i don't really like the smell but i'll keep going. I have a horrible feeling that i bought a big tube of it though in haste a few years ago so i'm not looking forward to having to use that up.

I'm forever grateful for this thread as despite my not quite using a facial and moisturising routine on a daily basis, i have certainly keep going longer than i have ever done so before and i am beginning to believe that i will actually see the end of bottles/tubs/ tubes etc.

So I did my face mask earlier and then about an hour ago I had a lovely bath. I've repainted my toenails in a kind of metallic satsuma colour (it looks nicer than it sounds!). I've moisturised with the nivea mens lotion stuff (I can't wait for this to be UU and the next bottle too, then I can start on my lovelies from TBS!). I washed with my No7 blissful body wash, hair was alberto balsam tea tree shampoo, face was olay self heating exfoliating daily face wash. I had Nspa chocolate bubble bath too but I can't smell anything at the mo so don't know how good it is! I've ped-egged my feet so the skin's a bit softer now. I've not moisturised them yet as I have to go out and get DD shortly. I think I might actually crack open the hemp foot stuff to give them a treat.
I don't think I'm going to get pics up on here until Monday at the earliest I'm afraid.
Oh and a UU: DH's FCUK shower gel black coffee I think. WIBA?: Depends on the price tbh. He hasn't raved about it so it's not a HG item and he seems to like the OS gels so if I can get them at £1 a time, they're a fraction of the price.

Bodycare sell the OS shower gels at 99p, had quite a lot of variety in my local one too.

OMG I can hardly wait. Really though how will I resist it. The Exotic range is beyond devine, I'm a sucker for a floral scent and this is pure heaven, a tiny bit of the bath float is enough, the bubbles are piled high and the bathroom smells amazing. I really want to try the one in the red glass bottle too.

Hi, nikkilala, have seen you on the Tesco thread, I am trying to keep off that, don't need anymore of the stuff which you can get for nothing and have really run out of cupboard space. Hard though isn't it?

Chucked out a Superdrug tea tree conditioner today, only had about an inch or so left, bought it this time last year when DD had nits and I added more pure tea tree to it, have tried to finish it but it smells really strong and I'm fed up of it. Amazed at how bad I feel throwing it away though, just feels wrong.

Ins for mothers day

1 x M&S Calm Bubble Bath
1 x M&S Peach & Almond Hand Wash
1 x M&S Peach & Almond Shower Gel
1 x M&S Peach & Almond Bubble Bath
1 x M&S peach & Almond Body Lotion
Pair of bright pink exfoliating gloves
5 x mini red glitter soaps which DD made at Brownies.

I actually asked for M&S Florentyna Body spray and Body Cream to go with the perfume (said I liked florals), not sure whether to swap the Peach stuff. The little hand made soaps are priceless though, little loveheart shapes.

Yeah - I could alwayd add food colouring and decant it into his Radox bottles if he complains :rotfl::rotfl:

Has everybody rushed to their nearest BS to get a BB before they run out It's awfully quiet this morning

i would be tempted to either decant cheap stuff or water down the real stuff if he used it up so quickly.
