No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge

hollylangman37

Well I'm well and truely on the naughty step, I went and spent my BS groupon voucher. I got:
Cranberry Joy BB
Spiced Vanilla BB
Almond BB
Papaya BB
Spiced Vanilla shower gel
Papaya shower gel
Passionfruit shower gel
Almond shower gel
Banana shampoo
Banana conditioner

I also lied to get another Love Your Body card and said my birthday was in January, so I will have a £5 gift to spend in their sale then:D

Also have a Sanctuary Rose and Pistachio bodybutter that I bought from the carboot for 50p

And my Mum has given me a Tess Daly facial moisturiser and M&S blush bodybutter.

Ooops I don't think I'll have to buy any shower gel or bodybutter till the year 2015

Oooh good haul from your Groupon Holly - how did you manage to get so much?!!

I have heard bad stuff about L'Oreal...problem is that all of the big companies probably have tested on animals at some point - or the companies supplying to them have.....I am anyway boycotting BS now as I'm in my no buying phase!

As for the Grand National - well without wishing to offend anyone on here - I don't like animal racing for money of any type...:(...we have a greyhound rescue near us, they are so lovely. Don't get on well with cats though apparently....can't imagine why!!

I just caved on the BS sale

Argh!!

2 uus to report after having a nice relaxing bath-a blue bathbomb with what looks like leaves? through it.not sure of the name but it smelt nice enough. also one of the massage bars,i think the name has pair in it -not doing very well am i!! my problem is when i go into lush i normally tell them not to bother wrapping them all indivdually or i reuse old yellow baggies.. decided going to take half the wipes back tomorrow i really dont need them/ well i dont need as many considering the dtd thing means i have about 6 packs of their cleansing wipes plus dearest mother gifted me some primark ones she bought a few weeks ago and didnt like....

oh also didnt get the soap and glory gift bundle - cant use a giftcard online.kinda good in a way its not like i needed the products.i think im going to wait until urban decay has new stuff or they get the brushes in - i always have problems resisting urban decay!!

Oooh good haul from your Groupon Holly - how did you manage to get so much?!!

Well the bodybutters were £6 each, and the shower gels were £2 each but both were on the buy 3 get the 4th free. I think I just went a bit mad and wanted to get the most out of my voucher and try new things. I have another voucher which I will use to buy my HGs. I ended up paying an extra £2 but I really want to try the shampoo and conditioner.
I'm a bit sick of Tresemme, I will never buy 900ml bottles ever again, they seemed good value at the time but even the moisturising range drys my hair out.

Just counted my big bodybutters, so I have at least 4700ml of bodybutter :rotfl:

My UU's so far are -

2 tubs of bath salts, one Sanctuary and one Botanics.
4 mini tubes of toothpaste, they were nearly out of date too.
1 bottle of shampoo
1 bottle of Naked shower gel

Still resisting buys - I just need to think of my massive stash to put me off.

:whistle: ma-ri-ella - very impressive stash list esp loving those Nails Inc goodies.


Re On foundation temptation...

For the past few days I have been testing out my freebie (with voucher) Lancôme foundation before I swap to my summer shade and I have to say that I am very impressed with it. Great colour match and staying power without feeling caked on. Cannot buy it as I have already quite a few foundations in my stash that I bulk bought last time I was in Vegas (2 years ago :eek:). But I am getting a little bored with them which is fuelling this curiosity.

:T Well done horse76 - are you getting a buzz out of taking control and using some of your nice products up?
