No buying toiletries in June challenge!

bargainbetty

I'm in - this month I will actually show up and post.

May was a nightmare life and work-wise, although I did have a few UU and some Outs too. I just got sick of some stuff, and when a friend commented that she loves it, I gave her it all. Not MSE, but a way out of a LHJ that I wasn't enjoying!

Welcome newbies :hello:

Thanks xoxo for starting this months thread - I meant to say it yesterday but it was late and I was tired

I've been looking at the new BS Duo Body Butter and I have to say I'm not really tempted :j (yes - despite one of the flavours being vanilla :rotfl:) I had a close-up look in BS yesterday and I think they've got it slightly wrong - there seems to be equal amount of the butter for extra dry areas (knees/elbows etc) and the butter for the rest of the body. I think it would be more tempting if it was 3/4 all over and 1/4 dry areas but as it is you'll just be left with a load of half-used pots of BB :cool:

Right - I'm off to mooch the freebies thread then curling up on the sofa - hope you all are having a good day

A few INS already through they were planned or needed- toothpaste, floss, face wipes.

Grrr I'm so annoyed :mad: Just taken off my orange collection 2000 nail varnish to find that it has stained my nails :eek:. this is despite me following the instructions and using a base coat . I've fired off a sharp email to them to complain. Does anyone have any advice about turning my nails back the right colour? It happened a few years back and I was told soak hands in water with denture tablets but this didn't work. Luckily my nails grow quick!

On the plus side, 2 small UU's for June already:

1 x travel shower gel - on to the penultimate one in my stash now :T
1 x Simple Repair Anti-Wrinkle Day Cream 10ml tube - it was a freebie but WNBA as it was too thick for my liking

IM IN!

I will attempt to not buy anything unless its essential...aka nothing

GAH! My fiance's started a new shower gel off even though there's plenty left in the other bottle. Wish he'd stop doing that.

Thank you form me too xoxo. Couldn't believe that the thread was already 3 pages long by the time I joined.

Like the sound of the Sweet Pea body butter duo but am not even going to go anywhere near TBS to smell it. Still have tonnes of body lotions to use.

Went into Boots today. The Ruby & Mille counter was a mess with most items gone so was saved there. Mind you I've never bought anything from that range so probably wouldn't have started to now. I own one of their nail lacquers which I was given as a gift and it's ok.

Have painted my nails tonight and am wearing OPI You Don't Know Jacques.

Have an IN actually but it was a freebie. Friend at work gave me a bottle of China Glaze silver shatter.

I'm sad now, I clicked on the link for BS and stared longingly at all the body butters....I can't afford any but I don't even need any yet.

Anywho, plodding on with the honey and almond hand lotion... Using it at every possible chance. xD
