No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge

What a nice red horse! I like horses as well, I keep a packet of polos in my coat pocket just in case the two horses in the field near my work are beside the fence when I go past!

Q- does anyone have things they find difficult to use?? i dont think my problem is over excessivly buying things i can use its more latching on to all the peripheral products you never need but make you go ooooooo

mine will be tanners/ treatments as they are not an every day think like face masks especially when you have a few of them and foundations i have about 12 and some dont last on my skin so its going to be even more of an effort to use them.

what are your hard to use up items ?

Mine are definitely face masks and intensive hair conditioners, basically anything that requires extra effort
I can't remember ever going out of my way to buy a face mask but have ended up with 10 in my stash :eek: and still hardly use them!

I have not had any UU for ages and nothing even spluttering, what is the good of me not buying if the stash still won't go down!!

Arrrgh - it will only let me thank one person a day again !!!!!!! Thankyou everyone - I will tell her tomorrow, she is beautiful and gets a gorgeous coppery sheen in the summer, its like having 3 horses cos she changes colour so much - i'll get some of her like it if she does it again sometime this year... Shes blooming at the momnet cos shes in foal - so all being well, next January you are all going to be honorary godmothers !

Didnt finish the flake away - but have date tomrorow night (instead of tonight!) so will get rid of it tomorrow...

Hi everyone!
just a quick check in and update.

i still havent been near the No7 counter..... its now becoming miraculous!

i am nearing the end of a pot of cotton buds.... normally i have 2 in the stash but i havent bought any. i will acutally have to buy some when they have actually ran out!

im nearly at the end of a No7 hand cream sample..... well until i cut it open that is and find another 30 days lurking there!

hope everyone is well!:D

Woohoo!!!!!! Another UU:T

Just had a bath and finished the Sanctuary Bath Relaxer - WNBA - I like bubbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


Off to slather myself in the BS strawberry BB sample now and then an early night - not sure I'm gonna like the smell of this either (smells a bit synthetic to me ).

Lovely horse Trudij

oooo lovely horse
"Boots Trial Face Wash - WIBA? Maybe," do you know what the code was? i got one of these i hated about 2 months ago u can have if u want (same with the person who wanted the nailpolish just pm and i will send)
re 20% of elf- that still annoys me cause the amercan site pay $1 and they often hav 50% / 75% off sales just puts me off buying because i think we pay over the odds. if ur going to buy then the elf eye shadow brush is quite good plus they have a bronzer which is a good dupe for nars orgasm . dont get the shimmer whips if u have sensative skin nice colours but made me spotty!

Ladies, I could really use some Baptiste dry shampoo. Not meaning to tempt any of the rest of you, but anyone know of any good offers anywhere?

An Avon hairspray that I have had for c. 10 years (!) and intensive hair conditioners. I long ago binned all my eye make up.

Prior to last Dec and my joining this thread it would have been hand and foot creams and the wide collection of bath/ shower gels that were opened and part used. That collection is now much, much smaller.

Hi ladies,

Right, back OT - can a bar of soap splutter? If so, my coconut BS one is spluttering - do people use bars of soap to the bitter end?
My half a litre of Baylis and Harding black pepper and ginseng hand lotion on my desk finally seems to be going down...sigh...

I try to use bars of soap to the end, but sometimes they get so messy that I give in. As for 500ml of B&H, poor you. I nearly went mad when I had a 400ml bottle of body lotion, but hand cream? I don't envy you on that one!!

Jacksxxx - what's this Yes to tomatoes range? Never heard of it and it's sounds a bit odd, can't imagine what it'd smell like.

Trudij - gorgeous photo of Red, thanks for posting. Horses are such beautiful creatures.

On my trip over last week I picked up my first set of Invisalign aligners. Has anyone else had this treatment? It's taking a bit of getting used to, especially the horrible taste (and smell) I have in my mouth and the strange sensatiion when eating. I will be getting through toothpaste etc mega fast now, just as well I don't count them in with my toiletries or else I'd be having a lot of INs.

But hopefully, in about a year, I should look like this

Have a good weekend

I had some freebie INs yesterday. I was at work and my client asked me if I could make use of some Sanctuary bits she'd been given, and some M&S mini shower gels in a set for men, so I now have

M&S Fragrance Collection for Men (6 mini body washes)- gone straight on DS's shelf in bathroom, he's very impressed as he's nearly run out.
Sanctuary minis of Body Wash, Scrub, and Moisturising Spray- gone onto the gift pile, will probably go out this afternoon as I have a friends b'day drinks to go to.
Sanctuary Creamy Body Wash 250ml- into the stash. Really this is the only actual IN as the others aren't destined for me.
