No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge

ACCA_Girl

I'm in for May too! Thanks!

Few INs to report today unfortunately however cancelled out with lots of UUs / Give aways / Throw outs. Will list these later.

Also - apologies to those in the FB group - I've not got round to posting my swapsies list yet. I think I need to spend some time going through my stash and ditching anything that has been lurking too long first.

I love this thread - everyone is so lovely!

I'M BACK IN FOR MAY.
Also, after doing this challenge since New Year I can now announce (drum-roll please) that I have had my first NO SPEND MONTH on toiletries for myself (thats no QVC, Body Shop, Boots, SD etc).:j:A:j
Have had very many NPI though. Worried now I will have a crazy spending spree in May but I do have one birthday gift voucher from March still to use and VALM that OPI silver shatter on Thursday looks very tempting:think:

Hi Bev, now that I've had a look at the other colours online I'm not so sure I'll go for this kit after all! When I knew it was coming on I thought if it contained Nail Envy, Avoplex and the silver shatter I would go for it as the other colours would be a bonus. The fact that it's Avoplex to Go made me reconsider at first as I've found that this doesn't work as well as the bottle (last time I had this one the applicator got so gungy I had to chuck it out). Then I was put off by the purple colour cos I can't wear purple but having looked at this and Guy Meets Galveston online they look very similar to Leighton Denny's Berry nice and Lollipop that I got in his TSV. You Don't Know Jacques is a pretty old colour and it seems strange that it's been added to this kit - I've tried this on before and wasn't that impressed. Also have seen swatches of it online and it is similar to Essie Mink Muffs which I owned and got rid of as it didn't suit my skin tone. All in all I'd now end up buying the kit just for the shatter and Nail Envy. I would have given the shatter to Emma and she's now said she doesn't want it - would prefer a brighter coloured one. So think I'll be abstaining unless of course I watch the presentation and start drooling over the fabby colours and jumping to the phone like a mad thing! lol
