No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge

Kaz2904

I will, won't I pickle!
I have 2 UU's to report from tonights bath. My blissful body wash and 1 of the white nivea bottles. I had to open the other again as I got half way tough the body . The last one is opened now and it didn't look/ feel very full I can't wait to get onto some nice body butters. I'm going for a No7 coccooning one first as I've had them the longest. I can't wait

Forgot to add, the second batch of pics was part of my original January stash.

uh oh! I have an IN! but I'm allowing myself this one as it's BUAV approved cheap coop 1ltr bath creme so it's a bargain that will last me a while, plus it's not at all been tested on animals which I love

Oh Kaz...that all looks amazing!

Sending big hugs to you charlie - I know what it's like just waiting for 'that' job. It will come I'm sure. My XOH had that very same argument when I was in your situation. At the time I wanted to stay with him (the complete loathing of hime came much later!!) but I really wanted to 'teach hime a lesson. So, I did two things - I unpicked the hem of the left leg of all his work trousers. Most annoying for him. The second (my personal fave) I unpicked the seam of the right hand pocket in his jeans/ going out trousers. Everytime he put cach in his pockets it tumbled to the floor - and brought a huge grin to my face!!! I refused to fix any item and as he could not/ was not able he sent them all to the dry cleaners to be fixed. Cost him a small fortune. As I told him - don't mess with me, I'm ginger and an only child with an attitude to match!!! Wonder why we never made it!!!!!!!!


Big big thanks to all of you for your lovely words of support for my grandad -nan has accepted soemhelp today in the form od 'day care' for grandad one day a week. So that should give her time to be herself. I'm hoping it will be a monday or wednesday as I usually don't work those days and so would be able to take her out shopping/ for lunch.

One splutterer - my 1litre collagen gell is on it's way out soon to be replaced by the other 1 litre under the bed.
Oh - also almost at the end of my 200ml Tova signature - again a 50ml bottle ready and waiting to take it's place.
Both ar HG products for me and would not be without them whatever the price

Almost at the end of day 5 of no beauty spends!!!! Cannot believe I made 5 days!

Hello! Have been awol for a little while! (spent the weekend with my Mummy )

Hi to all the newbies :wave:

Happy Belated Birthday fixx! Hope you had a fab day!

*hugs* for everyone that needs them

One UU to report - Tesco vit e eye make up remover - wnba - stung my eyes and didn't do a great job at taking mascara off

Few INs to report (none justifiable unfortnately! :rotfl:)

6 x vaseline deos (4 for OH)
3 x aquafresh toothpastes
1 x timotei shampoo
2 x timotei conditioners

all on buy 1 get 2 free in the co-op :D

Couple of photos:

Nail polish stash (not quite as bad as I thought!)



And the LOVELY Nails Inc purple crackle especially for Sawan (hope you got rid of the mice :eek:) MUA silvery grey with the crackle over the top. The NAils Inc version is SO much better and easier to apply than Barry M - have to be careful not to apply it too thick though. Still can't find the 17 crackle in any Boots



Went to Boots today to get my eyebrows done and didn't buy ANYTHING! Clearly I made up for it in Co-op though

Used some facial pore strips on my forehead and nose last night. Does anyone else get excited and disgusted using these? :rotfl:

Notice they're on special offer in Boots at the moment and trying to decide whether I should get a couple more packs or whether they'll be on offer again when I need to replace them.

Evening everyone

Big hugs to all who need them and I also hope this accident phase comes to an end now! With all this talk of camping it makes me realise that it is something I have no experience of never having been even as a child but I do think it would be good if my kids could go. Feel a bit scared to try it out though...

Would love to know what other QVC products you like -I like the Arnica and propolis gel and have liked the Mind,Body and Spirit perfume before from Tova. What do you think to their "resident beauty expert" and some of the beauty guests? I am slowly moving away from some of their salon brands now and returning to the high street - bought a BS VItamin E eye cream and it is as good as a Liz Earle or Gatineau any day. (but a lot cheaper!)

Also picked up some cheap tesco aunt flo bits yesterday also on whoopsies so i think they may be planning a rebrand on some of their own goods.

thanks this could come in very handy at the moment, Aunt flo just won't bog off at the moment and she's been visiting for 4-5 months now.

Oops, in myexcitement at UU's earlier I forgot the ratings! No7 blissful body wash, WIBA?: Love this stuff and have got a new one out of the stash. I then have 3 left. This lasts for ages! I opened it in August!
Nivea stuff WIBA?: Nope. It's for boys and my fingers have gone all bleurgh now.

Mingle

Finished that planet spa paraffin treatment stuff- WIBA? Probably not, no better than hand cream.

Hi to everyone and hugs to those who are having a tough time at the moment xx
