No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge

Kaz2904

Jusst going to PM(T)NM now. Been meaning to do this since Friday but haven't got round to it. Must get off computer and do it now.
Have sent a friend a text to see if she's driving to work tonight, funnily enough, no reply. I'm always the one who ends up driving and I get really cheesed off by it. It's a 10 mile round trip which isn't much really but it's the principle. I always drive in the snow because she's frightened and we need to get sorted out because we are being charged for parking very soon and petrol is really expensive. It just seems silly to not car share. Very odd.

I find it really hard to finish a eyeshaddow arg!!! :P

I know how you are feeling - I reported a eye shadow splutterer about 2 weeks ago (my first since starting this challenge) and it is still going. The is about at 2mm rim round half the pot as the rest has broken away into loose powder and has been UU. Maybe this week Dr_Roberto we will be successful:rotfl:

I don't get that either - why wouldn't she want to car pool and save a bit of money :think: - nope still no ideas!!


:hello: Welcome to all the newbies.

I have another UU to report. 2 in 2 days, I am on a roll. It is an pack of M & S tan corrector wipes which had dried up and I had to wet to take off my Pretty Polly fake bronzed leg gloss which an overcoat of their leg shimmer too. I was at a party last night and couldn't be bothered with St Tropez before hand. My new dress got an outing too! Anyway I have another dried up pack to use which I will do - wetting them still worked. WIBA? Don't think I can as I bought them when M & S were selling them off cheap. I got them for 10p a pack when the right price was £3 each.

Another £2 in my pot.

Enjoy the Bank Holiday xx

Hi i'm in again for May

Still got 188 items on my list, i supose it's an improvement as i'm also listing 84 UU since i joined the thread.
Just off to catch up from page 1

My first two UU for May
Simple talc - WBA as seem to use a tub a month, will continue to get it from the £1 shop but still have some more left before i need to buy more.
Conditioner which came with hair colourant - can't buy again as only come with the colourant, was ok, didn't smell of the horrible colourant smell but wasn't anything amazing either.

My hair seems to have become pretty dry, not sure if it's the hair colourant, the combination of Tresemme and Aqua shine shampoos and conditioners or something else.

I have been using the Aldi cream quite a bit and my feet are feeling better.

I have an Aldi near me (well, 20 mins walk away) but have never been in but have heard about their skincare etc being good -anyone got any recommendations?

I'm definitely switching to the Yes to Carrots handcream rather than buying the L'Occitane Lavender one from now on.

Have looked into the Yes to Carrots hand cream and when I need a new hand cream (have about 100ml left) I will be buying this one. Where is the cheapest place to buy it? Also the Yes to Tomatoes volumising shampoo and conditioner is meant to be good - scored highly in the anti-aging beauty bible book. When I have used up my MOP collection I will give this a try too.

Now, off to look for this OPI Pirates of the Caribbean set:D

All the Aldi Lacura range is good - they have some new face creams out with SPF in that came out a week or two ago too. I will be dropping hints.

I like the Lacura serum that comes in a pump bottle - cost about £3.50 I think - and if they have it, the Syn-nake Wrinkle Stop. That's really good stuff, comes in a syringe-like tube with a silicone applicator tip.

The Urea range Valm referred to came out a few weeks ago - there may still be some left. My daughter got me the Urea body butter for Mother's Day - absolutely great, has a shea butter base and was 250 ml for £2.99, I think.

You've got to try the other Aldi stuff too - I love the continental cold meats, the luxury muesli and the high fruit low sugar preserves. Fraction of prices elsewhere.

BTW, I got my signature removed because it had a link to Give and Make Up in it, does seem a bit off when it's a charity for women and children in refuges and they do not ask for cash, only make up and toiletries. Oh well.

I'll second mcculloch's recommendation of the serum - I'm using it at the moment and it's great - not quite replacing my HG (P&P) but £4 for 50mls is much more affordable

Two UU's today:
BS Peppermint Leg Cooling Gel: WIBA? The product is fab - and it works - but I hate the over powering smell of peppermint I've ordered the Lime Mojito one from Avon so I'm hoping that works as well but smells better
Nuage Kids Detangling Spray: WIBA? No - I have two more bottles in stock (Avon brand) and the orange is too sharp a smell.

We took a walk up the park to see the maypole - but no maypole? There were morris dancers though, and a punch and judy, so we had a wander through the stalls until the wind got too ...... windy

We found out that our Best Man/Maid of Honour from our wedding are expecting - good news :T but it means that out of all our group of friends who have got married since we did we are now the only ones who haven't had a baby - and some of them were single at our wedding! *sigh* I can't even get another dog now that Tix is sick

I wonder how much monkeys cost :rotfl::rotfl:
