No buying toiletries in June challenge!

Alton_Towers

Evening all, just had a quick catchup!

UU's No7 foaming oil shower gel WIBA - no I thought this was going to be really nice but it was rubbish, didn't foam that much at all.

UU boots intensive coconut and almond conditioner - WIBA yes I don't think it was very intensive but it did leave my hair nice and soft.

Outs - sold 3 x lip glosses, a lipstick and 3 eyeshadows on eBay yay! Also managed to sell a dress that didn't sell last week but by relisting as a lady gaga style dress (I wore it to a fancy dress party) it sold for more than I paid for it!

Wow!! Just caught up!! Got lots of replies to send =p aswell as a naughty message

Naughty message first;
I was REALLY early for uni today, so I passed my time (and waited for the rain to stop) in Sainsburies, so I thought I'd look fr the new magazine with the Benetint in
However, I couldnt remember when it comes out, OR what magazine it was... In amidst my search, I found the Red magazine, with a free £14 Jemma Kidd lip gloss in a gorgeous deep red colour... soooo.... I may have bought it ='/

But it's SUCH a lovely colour on!!!
And ofcourse, I have all the obligatory freebie sachets/perfume testers that come with it :rotfl:

Now for quotes and replies....

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

Meeeee!!! Especially... Now whats the box... Uhhhhm, I think it's the Calvin Klein - Euphoria box, it cant even be useful for anything, but I love it!! Got afew like that infact =[

Is there any fix or just painkillers and bed? I hate the nausea I've got alongside the pain in my head

My mom gets these with all the nausea and vomitting that goes with it too.. She takes "Imigraine" tablets and lays in a silent pitch black room for about 2 days, then its every man for him-(or her-) self with regards food for me and my dad lol



Annddd... all my multi quotes have disappeared =[

Argh!!

The only other thing I can remember I was going to say is to EssexHebridean (I think) who asked about what I thought of the Avon liquid bra stuff last month.
I'm still using it, but I think I've had a fair amount of use to conduct a review, I personally am not OVERLY impressed... Fair enough, I dont have so much of an issue with my *whisper*boobies*whisper* being perky, but I cant see its made any difference whatsoever =s

Thanks for that - always helpful to know what people think in case customers ask!

Nothing to report. Splutterers have been spluttering for so long now they are threatening to turn into LHJ's! Might paint my toenails in a bit - or at least take the current stuff off and give them a first coat - can then do the second one tomorrow.

Hi guys,
Great start for June for me!
UUs:
Mini Dove Visible Effects moisturiser WIBA? Yes, I quite like it, don't need any moisturiser for a while though.
Imperial Leather Moisture Bubble Bath WIBA? I quite like it, lots of bubbles, got some others to use up first.
BS Shea Butter Body Butter (only a slither of this was left, so about time it was used up!) WIBA? Nice enough, might choose another flavour first though.
Dove Deeply Nourishing Body Wash WIBA? Me and OH quite like this, lovely and softening. Again same as above though.
A Lush Snowcake Soap WIBA? It was a £6 chunk that was half price in the sale, lasted ages at the sink. Love this-smells like marzipan! Shame its only a Christmas special-hope they bring it back this year.
Next Cream Liquer shower gel WIBA? Part of a Christmas gift set, can't buy it anyway, smelled ok, not wonderful.
3x M&S Bath sprinkles (Only 2 more to use up) WIBA? A bit of fun, again part of a Christmas gift.

One out- L'oreal Royal Jelly Shampoo- I was given this by OH's mum as a spare, used it about three timnes and it made my hair all greasy at the top of my head?? Bit odd, anyway I gave her it back as she loves it and didn't want to waste it. (I hope she wasn't offended).
Also selling 2 bits of Clinique on eBay that I will never use, so they should be gone tomorrow. (Would it be wrong to count them now?)

Good 6 days, eh?

Plus, I'm starting a new job on Saturday, very exciting! :j
Hugs to all.

Hi everyone, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I will get around to listing my makeup as it nees an overhaul but I really need to be good and UU before I can justify adding any INs (have I got the lingo right? lol)

Sawan82 - My stash list is quite shameful, I actually felt very guilty seeing how much I actually have. I have several cans of hairspray, I never use hairspray! I wish I had the time to try some daring new do's that could justify them but I just can't. The shampoo and conditioner situation is out of hand now too, what on earth can I do with them all?

Charlie792 - Oooh I also received the tanning cream today, it will be used when we get some glorious sunshine, which reminds me I have forgotten to add Korres walnut and coconut tanning spray to my list.

Had a lovely pampering session last night, used lots of products, some already in use and some I was saving for best I guess. Found a great volumising product so will be keeping my eye on this one, but I had an allergic reaction to the StriVectin and ended up with red blothes where I applied the cream. The only thing I know I have ever reacted to is mineral oil so I wonder if that is an ingredient. Was very expensive for a small tube. Today I have been good, I was meant to go to Boots but have put it off for another day, I do need to buy toner as it has one application left.

Well done for being good, most of you, I think I my have caved under those temptations!

Well done on your UU's carolyn, the Lush Snowcake Soap sounds gorgeous. Think I could learn a thing or two from your tactics

I am going to have a blitz on S&G over the next few months, hoping to buy lit's of lovely Lush at Christmas.

Just noticed as you mentioned selling some of your items, that I have the S&G Hand Break Gift set sat in the corner of the room. I think I need to overhaul the bathroom this week eeek!

When I am now a week into my deoderant experiment and can conclude that the Mitchum roll on is indeed the cause of my sore and itchy pits.
As I had only used it for such a short time it is still almost full I will see if my mum is interested is using it up.

Sawan - I do hope you have recovered by now. I have had migraines since as was 10ish but I wasn't diagnosed correctly until I was 23 years old. It started with visual distortion in one eye - I just could see properly, sometimes I would get blotches followed by a haloing effect around my field of vision. Next I would start to get an intense sore head, break out into a cold sweat and feel my central nervous system begin to break down (not is control of my body and shaking a lot). Then the nausea and inevitable vomiting would begin. I then tended to pass out!!! I would wake up 3-5 hours latter feeling as if my body had been run over with a steam roller. Spent the next 2 days in recovery - still shaking and unable to eat. The sore head still lingered but gradually eased. Mine's got so violent and frequent (after the death of my father I was taking 2-3 a week) I finally got a great GP who put me on a daily anti migraine medication and acute migraine medication for during an attack. I haven't had one in five months and it is well controlled now. I hope that this was a one off for you but if not discuss it with your GP to look for triggers etc.

Sorry for the essay.

DH has been at the shea body scrub again! Annoying though because I scrubbed the bathroom today. Never mind heh?
Off to bed soon, not been sleeping too well the last few nights, keep waking up through the night and then wake at 4am needing food. Weird huh?
I am still slogging through the last of the cocoa butter shower gel and have noticed that the others are 1/2 way down the bottle of satsuma shower gel. Methinks we need to have another little lesson on how much to use.
I have dry patches on my knees and on the front of my ankle/top of my foot (IYKWIM?) but I can't exfoliate yet because the sunburn is still sore in the bath.
I wasn't able to get my hair cut today as the hairdresser's are shut on a Monday. I will drop the kidlets off at school and go to the charity shop, then Wickes then back to the hairdresser to see if they can fit me in.
Have another busy day ahead tomorrow but things are starting to come together and the house will soon be looking wonderful (well, not soon but one day ).
Lots more sewing to do tomorrow and the next day and hope to be able to get my downstairs toilet finished before the weekend. Then I can put out another soap
Night all xx

Another unintentional in! Some hair mousse in a pink bottle thingy.... It seems as though it's 95-100% full but the lids cracked so I can't sell it on ebay which is what I was gonna do since I never use hair products. They make my hair crusty

my GP put me on a low dose anti depressant for migraines,thye can be caused by wrong serotin(? spelling) levels in the brain,you need to be on them a few months but they worked for me,I used to get headaches that lasted 3 days and nothing would help so I do understand,hope you get better soon
