No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge

Alton_Towers

No UU's yet but some splutterers so wont be long.

I thought I would be clever this morning and wax my armpits as I am fed up of shaving them every other day in the warmer weather - if you heard screaming this morning it was me! OMG! Why did I think it would be a good idea?! The pain was unreal and I have had 3 kids! Never again!

Got an Avon order coming tomorrow but only a gel eyeliner. Went out and about at the weekend and didnt buy any toiletries and have ignored the BS 30% off! I am being very good!

Did you have a good holiday? You'll be pleased to know there will be no force-feeding of 'Flake Away' :rotfl::rotfl:

Welcome back EH! I kind of said that a week ago, but realised after (I was skimming ) that I was glancing at the avatar not username and I'd read seasidedreamer's post as yours

Thanks Ladies! Yes, the holiday was fab - very relaxing and the most incredible weather too - not at all what we expect from the Hebrides we only saw rain about twice and there were even a couple of days with pretty much no wind! :eek:

I have lots of travel-stash UU's to report (have already updated the list with some of them) but I'll have to come back to you with those as we're going out in a bit. Hope all have been doing well, and staying away from NPI-inducing locations?!

I tried it a few weeks ago before I got my epilator as got fed up of shaving too. What was I thinking?? The pain was unbearable! At least the pain of epilating wasn't so bad after a few minutes. Definitely sticking to that!

Outs
Rimmel I love lasting finish nail polish in Azure - WIBA? Love this color but had become far too gloopy with age. I suspect I have another in this color in my stash, so it's ok
Lush Handy Gurugu - WIBA? This was travel sized and pretty old from the looks of it. Don't think I would.

Ah found you all, goodness, already into page 6 of May - or is it 7?

I'm IN FOR MAY!

2 unintential INS from my BestFriend's DTD frenzy - 2 x handwashes.

Did well in April, just 2 hair dyes and something else so boring I can't remember it! I think this may be cos there haven't been any offers to tempt me though, if I'm honest...

Anyway, the car boot sale is back so I'm less at the shops and more buying random rubbish from there - have to try be very restrained this year....so much stuff ended up going to the charity shop from last years purchases...

Good to hear the Aldi reviews - think we have one not too far away - hmm, I fancy a browse sometime...

I've had such a relaxing 11 days off, what amazing weather. Tomorrow is going to be soooooo awful!!

My cash card got swallowed up in the machine on my way to Devon so that curbed my spending quite a lot :eek:.
Had a fab time - thanks to my bestie and her fab family. Did a street party for the royal wedding !!

NO UU's though! Not even a flipping travel size!!

weren't 'anita's favourites' around for a limited time only? I tend to buy lots when I find a product I like and I know it's going to be discontinued, which is how I ended up with half my stash:o

They have them all out the back still at my BS!! Don't panic buy!!

Well I've already broken one of my goals for this month - keep spend below £20 a month, as I went shopping earlier today and bought:

YSL Touche Eclat (I had £15 worth of Debenhams rewards though so it was only £9)
Barry M Nail Paint in Lemon Ice Cream and Blue Moon
Accessorize nail polish in Rose Gold and Electric Blue
Accessorize eyeshadow in Moondust

However all the nail polishes are to be compared to others I already have to decide which ones I like better, and the eyeshadow is a more wearable version of my Urban Decay Midnight Cowboy, which is a beautiful colour but just not my sort of thing. So all the polishes I don't like will be eBayed or swapped to get some more money for my savings fund.

*shuffles off to the naughty step*

Happy belated birthday Kaz, got caught up in making my list and missed it Hope you had a great day.

Glad you had a great holiday EssexHebridean!

Thanks for the repeated offer Sawan82, now which toiletries would be best to throw :cool:

I have an IN to report but it was a freebie - the Benefit skincare set from the Debenhams email. I'm amazed they had some left in the Oxford Street store! Also popped into Boots across the road and they have the most amazing Soap and Glory selection! I noticed they are now doing miniatures of Clean Girls, Scrub Em & Leave Em, The Scrub of Your Life and Daily Smooth as well as mini Glad Hair Day Shampoo & Conditioner and a mini Hair Supply Conditioner. The GHD conditioner is now available in 2 kinds for dry and normal hair, in the larger sizes as well. Checked the Boots website and they're all on there too - as well as a facial sun protection lotion with SPF25 and Eau De Soap and Glory in the Original Pink scent. Oh, and an antibacterial hand gel too.

I didn't mention any of this of course... :whistle:

helo everyone i'm in again for may. have used up a considerable amount of my stash, only have items such as shampoo deodrant etc that the ones in use. Have used up all the hotel minatures, sachets from magazines etc. still have a lot of makeup though, find it so hard to use up eyeshadows seem to go on forever. had a little clearout some very old (ten years+!!!:eek:) lip glosses with an spf had to go.... now got a nice daily make up bag full of nice light summery colours. also changed my mascaras as they were getting cloggy all over a year old and i had some nice gwp ones in the stash.
