No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge

Dr_Roberto

Hey. I have a few in's as it was my birthday this week

so In's :

Body shop cube in mango, yum yum !!
1 x vaseline in rose
1 x vaseline in original
1 x vaseline in alo vera
1 x vaseline in shea butter
(all came in a big vaseline tub)

and a few outs , my collection will shirnk :rolf:


Elf make=up mist and set. --> you spray on after make-up and it's meant to keep it on your face for longer but I don't think it makes a difference.feels nice to spray on your skin but not worth re purchasing.

Avon conditioning spray ---- > finally had it for years!! I don't use hair products that often so no rebuy!!

one UU- tescos value face wipes!- WBA? do the job no stinging just a tad on the rough side in texture and could do with being a bit 'wetter' but i add toner to them if they are too dry. and i have another 3 packs to use so i suppose i have inadvertently already answered that question!

Some INS ( I may have already reported them, but to be safe...)
1 x Neroli Jasmin Shower Gel
1 x Shea Whip Body Lotion
1 x Coconut Soap
1 x Strawberry Gift Cube
1 x Satsuma Shower Gel/Cream
1 x Neroli Jasmin Body Lotion
1 x Shea Body Butter
1 x Coconut Bath Shower Gel/Cream
1 x Love Etc...™Small Gift Box
1 x Coconut Body Butter
1 x Coconut Milk Body Lotion
1 x Dreams Unlimited™Small Gift Box
1 x Satsuma Shower Gel/Cream
1 x Moringa Milk Body Lotion
2 x Love ETC...™ Solid Perfume
1 x Almond Body Butter
1 x Almond Bath & Shower Gel
1 x Moringa Body Butter
1 x Big & Curvy Waterproof Mascara
1 x Moringa Gift Bag

BUT I have already allocated these. A lot is going back to the shop and is already packed up in a bag, with receipt and order confirmation ready to go back tomorrow.

-The Moringa Gift Bag is a gift set for a friends birthday (already allocated)
-The Shea will make up a gift set if I buy some pretty paper and a body puff thing
-The same with the coconut (already allocated)
-The same with the Neroli Jasmine ( already allocated
-The same with the Almond- Already (already allocated)
-The strawberry gift cube is going back to the shop
- The dreams unlimited gift set is going back to the shop
-The love etc gift set is going back to the shop
-The 2 solid perfumes are going back to the shop.

(already allocated= I know who it's going to)

So that leaves me with 2 satsuma shower gel, a moringa body lotion and a moringa body butter for myself I don't feel nearly as bad about it all now.

I've applied for 2 teaching assistant jobs. The problem is that they are 30 hours a week, but I'm going into the 3rd year of my degree. I'm worried about it being too much, but the pay would cover the cost of my teaching fees in the 4th year, and I might be able to gain the teaching qualification whilst staying on at the school through the TDA. Argh! Decisions!

One UU to report: A sample of olay regenerist. WIB? Maybe, sunk into the skin very nicely but slightly too perfumed for my sensitive skin. No ins to report so far!

Think I forgot to reply earlier Thanks to everyone who enquired after poor DS. He's absolutely fine :j. He said the pain was going and I had a rummage just after school (he was delighted, naturally :rotfl:) and they are both down to looking like 2 small white head spots ready to be squeezed (I hasten to add, I didn't :eek:). So he's booked in on Monday morning for filling removal, tooth deadening and refilling. He's so brave, he's not bothered at all. If it was DD, I'd make her dad take her !

Ding Dong! Avon Lady has just been so budge up on the naughty step

IN's:
2 x Brightening Hand Cream with Lemon & Cucumber - these were technically free as I bought an Intensive Hand Cream for my mum to try on a 3for1 offer
2 x Vanilla Moisture Shakes - they smell MMmmmm
1 x Lime Sugar Mojito Cooling Gel - need this as I have none
1 x Solutions Maximun Moisture Night Serum - again a need as I don't have one

Gonna try not to be tempted with the next magazine - but already have been :rotfl: they have trial sachets of new facemasks/treatments for £1 and the lovely shea body butter is practically half price and they have new cherry hair care products *sigh* (at least they will be June IN's :rotfl:)

I won't be cruel and tell you about the stuff you've already bought that will be cheaper in upcoming books, but you can hold off on the Cherry hair stuff until Book 10 or even 11 as it's half price again then!

vanilla moisture shake? and lime sugar mojito cooling gel????

these sound amazing!
may go for a flick round the avon site now........ il just look..... its been a bad day!

Is it sad toiletries are like my therapy

Remember that if you DO decide to order you're better to find a local rep than order online! :cool: (Also remember that there will be a space on the naughty step reserved just for you!)

Nothing to report. Splutterers still spluttering. I'm part way through the sachet of the new Clinique tinted moisturiser from Glamour mag and am finding it really nice - really wish I'd been able to get it when I needed to replace mine!

happy belated birthday Dr-Roberto:bdaycake:.

Welcome newbies - coming in thick and fast this month.

Couple of in's - avon order arrived this morning:

2 x SSS soft and fresh dry oil spray, hope this is the right one, I want it for the whole family to keep the bugs away but it doesn't smell very strong, anyone know if it's right? tia

1 x aromadisiac roll on perfume

1 x brow enhancer - tried this and am not overly impressed, has no colour really, just seems to be a gel.

As someone who has both been a volunteer and worked with volunteers in a variety of places, I can understand your reservations. My workplaces gave top-class training and work experience and we had a HUGE variation in the people we had as volunteers. I'm still in touch with some of them. We so valued the good ones!

Then there was one who when I pointed out that, actually, it WAS in his job description to see to the teas and coffees for learners (whilst I got on with teaching right up to the coffee break) retorted 'You ARE joking, aren't you???!!!'

Thanks for that info mcculloch. I think I just need to actually go to these places, look around, talk to people and decide for myself rather than be pressured into making a decision over the phone (which is what happened yesterday). I've got to make sure that whatever I volunteer for will be worthwhile in the long run.

Ayeshalush - I like the SBC gels in particular propolis and arnica which my kids call "magic gel".
I have noticed that TK Maxx also sell some SBC products sometimes (as well as MOP which QVC no longer sell) and I bought about 5 or 6 handbag size SBC tubes for £4.99 a few months ago -worth keeping a look out.

I too miss Molton Brown - the Xmas TSV's used to be fab - yet another brand gone to QVC heaven

Mingle - your BS haul is impressive -I'm still waiting for my 3rd order!
Let me know how you get on with returning the items. Do you take in the receipt with the prices on? Would they refund just part of an order and I wonder if maybe they would exchange a few of mine for other flavours? Just a thought - I hate returning stuff!

Charlie -great to hear you have your holiday booked -and a chance to UU all the travel sizes (I love sorting out my toiletries for hols:o)

Kaz -pleased to hear your DS is fine now
Dr-Roberto - happy belated birthday:bdaycake:.



Have a great day everyone!
