got a nailpolish by accesorize just so i could get a superdrug card tho honest and only cost 1.80 after student discount... they also have some nice pigments but i managed to resist for now

Ooh... reduced! I like the colours they do.
Do you know if the student discount is for normal student/NUS cards or only the NUS extra ones you have to pay for?


Been browsing & the illusions ones look really interesting.

OUT-The revlon lipstain balm snapped off on first attempt to use and the stain wouldnt leave a colour.I am very disappointed with this product as it was a waste of £5.99.There were no testers available either .Serves me right for getting tempted .

I would take it back and complain if it were me. You don't pay £6 for something that a. doesn't work and b. breaks the first time you use it :eek:
No ins outs or UU's for me but am loving the sanctuary body souffle, it's helping my sunburn tonight. Ouchy flamingo legs despite tons of factor 30 on.
Poor DD, we went to the pier earlier and she tripped going up the escalator. She whacked her shin on the edge and has a really deep cut on it. I couldn't get any ice from anywhere so had to make do with a wet paper towel. Oh it brought tears to my eyes. The smack she went down with, I thought she'd broken a bone (she was behind me). She's going to be sore tomorrow

argh i'm not doing well with this challenge already this month.

Surprise UU - No7 facial wipes WNBA as i like the tesco's vit E ones better and they're so much cheaper. Still have 3 more packets of them to UU first before i need to go buying the tesco's ones. I think OH had been using them for some reason as i'm sure there was more than one left when i took one out of the packet yesterday.

Unfortunately i have some Ins

2 x superdrug Intense Rich Chestnut Brown hair colourant. I need to do my hair and these should have been about a fiver each but were on offer 2 for £5.99

Nair facial hair remover stuff, i'll give it a go. Going to squeeze the tube i have had in the cupboard for the past 4 years down the drain, paid for in points so technically free

Umberto Giannini Shampoo and Conditioner, they were reduced in Boots, BUT i didn't really need them. I did pay for them with my points though so technically free. To be fair i've just started using the Asda conditioning baby shampoo that i have in the washing machine (i'm sure someone said shampoo is good for biological things) as it's only fit for baby hair and obviously mine's not. So i'm going to take this off my toiletries listing because it's use has changed.
Also i'm planning on giving my sister and her girls the Aqua shine shampoo and conditioner, i'm positive it's dried out my hair so it can go. They'll use it up very quickly with 3 heads of hair with just the girls let alone the boys who will be using it as well.

I've decided that the toiletry world is consipiring against me .......
Here i was down to 2 deodrants plus one mini which gave me my second category of products under control and what happens??????? OH brings home 2 new Garnier deodrants and my mum gave me a brand new Dove roll on. argh it's not fair lol I did put the deodrants straight away as i'm tired of having part used things hanging around. OH did ask me this morning where they were and i told him 'away' until he's used up the other 3 that he's got open, (i felt so mean and so much like my mum)

I've also decided that shower scrunchies are a mixed blessing, they're perfect for us MSE'rs as they make shower gels etc last foreeeeeeevvvvvveeeerrrrrrr, BUT for us on this challenge they're a nightmare for exactly the same reason. I've been using my Sanctuary shower gel since Jan and there's over an inch left, OH has been using his shower gel for one month and there's an inch left! The only difference i can think is that i use the scrunchie.

sorry for the essay

Hey all,

So I was in the shower earlier and thought wow what a lot of products I have in here....then looked around the bathroom and bedroom and thought yes way too many so decided to join this thread....I'm not going to buy any more toiletries until I've used up existing ones!! ekkk I seem to love buying toiletries though and got some really cool bits especially with last months body shop glitch he he!!

So June didn't start to good with not buying any...ekkk but it was in the 99p shop (oh wow some of the stuff in there is great!!!) but we did need most of that stuff.....

So now i'm fully stocked and i'm putting it down here in writing....I'm not buying another single toiletry in June!!

Ok so glad that's off my chest...how are you all doing....it's only the 3rd ekkkkk!!

Maz xx

Still on the job hunt now, came across a sales job I could easily do but its at a printers in cardiff, which is almost too perfect as obviously thanks to OH I have a fair bit of knowledge of print related stuff so ive just text him the details of the company and he's checking them out and going to tell me what to put on the application to make me sound brilliant :rotfl: bless him...

This sounds promising. Good luck with your application. I am job hunting now. Have been in temp position for just over a year and it's likely to run on into next year but won't become permanent. I've applied for a permanent job with the company recently and am so disappointed because they have withdrawn the vacancy due to there not being enough candidates to interview and are now saving the job for someone who may become at risk in the future. It's obvious that I'm never going to get a permanent job with them so have started looking elsewhere. Went to a recruitment agency yesterday lunch so feel I'm doing something positive.

Have 2 UUs and 6 INS to report:-

UUs: Ojon Glossing Mist WNBA. Didn't like the fragrance and not bowled over by the results it gave. It came as part of a TSV kit.

Decelor foaming cleanser WNBA. Has been a LHJ. Foaming cleansers dry my skin out so I've ended up trying to compensate by using an oil under my moisturiser.

INS: my Boots.com order arrived yesterday. Contained:-
Weleda Almond Cleanser - had my first use of this yesterday and first impressions are that it's lovely. The texture reminded me of the old formula of C&P (yes). If it contained Eucalyptus too I'd be a very happy bunny. The fragrance is quite nice and my skin felt lovely and soft afterwards.

Botanics Rosewater - probably have another week's worth of LE Instant Boost Skin tonic left before I start this.

Botanics clay mask - will try this today. Am hoping it produces the same result as the Decleor one that I love but can't really afford at the mo.

Cutex Ultra Cleansing nail lacquer remover - this has become my HG remover. Don't have to scrub at nails to remove lacquer with this.

2 x new OPI lacquers. Bought Planks a Lot (bought this for Emma) and Sparrow me the Drama which I'm wearing on my toes. Both from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection. Didn't like any of the greys that are in that collection. Sparrow Me the Drama is a kind of rosey pink and I don't have any colours like this - the pinks I own are either hot cerise type pinks or subtle shimmery pinks.

I've had a uu of Sanctuary Body Scrub 50 ml. WIBA? Yes, I love the smell and the texture.

A branch of B&M has opened up near to me and I had a very brief look in there the other day and spotted some John Frieda Brunette shampoo for £1.99. It had foreign writing on the tube but looks very much like the tube I have in use at the moment. I resisted on the basis that there will probably still be some in there the next time I go in. Does anyone know whether the same products turn up regularly in B&M or is it a case of grab it while you can?

It can depend. mine always has things like Alberto balsam shampoos and Pantene but sometimes it gets batches of the nicer (posher) ranges so will only have them now and again.

One UU this morning - Tesco Sun protection Factor 25 200ml. WIBA? I love this one cos it smells like coconuts and summer, it was an old one and I think they have changed the smell now
