No buying toiletries in June challenge!

charlie792

Another freebie IN this morning - some tanning lotion from FB which was posted on MSE.

Nothing bought this month so far and actually Im sure I can do it this month - only thing I can see that we need this month is more toothpaste for OH but I won't be counting that as its not even for me

Had to go into TBS on saturday as we needed a present for OH's nan, it was torture going in there looking at all the lovely stuff knowing I couldnt have it although it was good as I used the LYB card which got OH money off and got me a stamp too so its not all bad - its also my birthday in August so a freebie then

Going shopping tonight so need to check the cupboards for everything - having massive cravings for olives so might add them to the list, ate tonnes of the damn things on holiday

Had a wee unexpected UU last night.

Liz Earle deep cleansing mask. WIBA? Probably not but it is a pretty decent mask.

sawan, I do hope you're feeling much better now but if you're not, please do seek medical advice even if you only ring NHS direct as you've had the headache for so long.
Nothing useful to add, shall pop in later hopefully

gosh you lot talk a lot:rotfl:have now got a laptop on loan :jso hopefully will be able to keep up more:)mine has gone off to the manufacturer so now have a racy red one:)decided not to moan today(as sooooo much gone wrong recently would bore you all to sleep)latest thing tho was had some paint mixed and the bloke doing it pressed the button too soon and not all the tint went in:mad:he said it was okay but was in fact not the same when I did a wall as the old pot so had to go back again today.He said sorry and put a new pot to mix then said get it out when it is ready:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:talk about lack of customer service.
finished the product I am testing that is hush hush, it only lasted 3 weeks so don't think I will be buying it.
started the BS body scrub I ordered when the glitch was on ...morocan and ? oil(argan)had it in the bathroom window in the sun and when I rubbed it in it was warm and tan coloured and smells really nice WBA.
already done PYNM on sunday:rotfl:

hope all well with everyone

I just did PYNM and PYTNM in rimmel strawberry fizz. It's supposed to smell like strawberries, it doesn't It's a nice colour though

Apologies for being totally off topic but did anyone here actually get any olympic tickets in the end? I just read a news article on the BBC that 55% of those applied didn't get anything :eek: huge amount which really points that the system is totally unfair! We didn't get anything by the looks of it and we'd applied for things we didn't think would be that popular...Alas....

Had a pretty good shopping trip just now, had some coupons so it got the cost down a bit, had a voucher for free curry sauce too which took off more than it should, so effectively just got paid 20p to take it Never got me olives though as OH said he didn't really like them and it seemed silly just to get them for me....Oh well got some crusty bread so we can eat our chilli paste we bought back from holiday now

One IN here today - batiste brown dry shampoo - from home bargains (£1.89). I've got about 1 application left in my current dry shampoo so it's almost needed! I'm trying to not wash my hair every day so it's an essential

*raises hand sheepishly* Nail polish junkie here.

I am weaning myself off the Chanel addiction (and selling my stash on eBay), but I was sorely tempted by this shade (not so much the raved about Mimosa).

I am finding the Rimmel nail polishes completely amazing (partic. the Lycra Pro) - have you looked at the Rimmel 60 seconds in Rose Libertine as a close-ish match? No sparkles though.

I find with any Chanel nail colour, its best to keep an eye on Boots no.7 and Barry M, as a dead ringer will be along within a month or so.

:T Oooh thank you! I've googled Rose libertine - it'sgorgeous, hmmn, I feel a trip to the naughty step coming soon :rotfl:

Hi sunshineday, I don't own any Chanel lacquers but I do have an addiction for OPI - prefer to pay £10.50 rather than £16.00! I own a colour called Wing It which is pink with glitter in it like Morning Rose but is not such a hot pink as MR - is more of a fuchsia colour. OPI also have a colour called Flower to Flower which is more of a barbie pink with glitter. Both of these were part of the Summer collection last year.

:T Thanks Valm, I've googled these and they are both very pretty - I agree about the price, I own one Chanel polish and tbh I don't think it's any better than a lot of the less expensive ones, I think I got a bit carried away the day I bought it

So my first ever migraine as it appears to be is still going strong. Got bored of sitting around so decided to de-clutter a tiny amount.

OUTs (all to sister2)
Nivea Soft 8ml sample
L'Occitane Rose Jardin Delice Hand cream gel 5ml sachet
Palmer's Cocoa Butter firming lotion 2.5ml sachet
Fenjal Vitality firming body lotion 5ml sachet
TBS Natrulift firming day cream 1.5ml sachet

She does worry about her skin and she does have uber-sensitive skin so she'll happily try these small sachets.

I discovered some other small samples, ummm... not going to count them as INs as such as I knew I had them, just didnt know where. And found my large L'Occitane lavendar hand cream from my order a couple of months ago.

Does anybody else have a problem with disposing of packaging, as in they can't bring themselves to, or is it just me?

Will take a pic of a couple of pinks for the Chanel Morning Rose that seem to be similar to me, but in all fairness colours aren't looking quite right to me at the moment

Will post to Photobucket soon, here's the link: http://s1187.photobucket.com/albums/z399/sawan82/

ETA Posted a pic of three pinks, the one in the middle looks most similar to me, that's Chelsea Park Gardens. Also a pic of the lovely Orly ones

Sawan, thank you for uploading these, I am so envious of your nail polish collection (and your nails if truth be told!) The three pinks are all very tempting!!
I hope your migraine has eased, they really are unbearable, I occasionally suffer from them and find that one of the best things is to lie down in a darkened room, xx


No more uu's but have a few splutterers

((hugs)) to those that need them, xx
