No buying toiletries in June challenge!

Carolyn12

Well I was very good this evening...I went for a snoop in SD..re the Superdrug bargains grabbit.
Mainly I went in to look for the reduced Listerine. Didn't see any. I came across the 19p/49p Spa range- thought about it, then decided the smell isn't that nice, so put it back; whereas usually I would have bought it because it was only 19p. Saw the clearance toothbrushes, but no small headed ones so didn't get any. I also saw the 49p Dove handwash, but again I thought I don't need this because I have a bunch of Lush soaps to use; but then its only 49p??

Anyway things I do want: 79p Beverly Hills toothpaste and £1.58 400ml Herbal Essences conditioner, I forgot my Beauty Card, so will be back in tomorrow. Every little helps, right?

Okay ... my first ever naughty step visit.

I'd been longing to try the Spiced Vanilla Body Butter from BS, and it's currently half price.

Well I can't say I blame you

Went to Mr T's to do our weekly shopping and with multibuys and vouchers from the coupons thread I saved over £30 :T OH gets quite embarrassed when I hand over my huge wedge of coupons but he likes the savings

but I do have 2 IN's - 2 x Dove Beauty Finish Deo's - £2.10 BOGOF and I used 2 x £1 off coupons so got both for 10p

I have a UU, YAY and Boo . The sanctuary spa souffle. WIBA? Hell yeah! I got this at the Christmas extra points event and it was on 3 for 2. It's £10 per tub (ish) but I love, love, love this stuff. It's going to be bought again in the next Christmas event definately, it lasted better than the No7 which I will open next. First of all I am going to UU DD's L'Occitane Lavender lotion. That's going to be a chore I think so we'll take it with us for the weekend as we're all off to Woodlands tomorrow. Between 9 of us, we should be able to make inroads into it quite nicely . (DD's not keen either, I'm not a mean Mummy!).

Isn't it lovely? I'm so pleased I waited though. £6 is absolutely the top whack I will pay for a butter, given that Marksies do such lovely butters for the same price.

Speaking of which, M & S have a large range of toiletries for a pound at the moment, all sorts of scents, including watermint, cocoa butter and vanilla and grapefruit. The Durham Marksies had them in the window, which was v. tempting. I resisted.

I sniffed the Spicy Vanilla BB earlier and the smell was so evocative of chai, (spiced tea) which I love. I've just made myself a huge mug of spicy milky sweetness. Gorgeous. Twinings do a passable chai, but Mr T sell a brand called Palanquin that knocks spots off Twinings.
I would never eat toiletries, but this BB is really linked to the drink, if you get my meaning. Once I start using this I can see me starting every morning with a mug of spiced tea.

One UU for me last night - No 7 Facial wipes. WIBA? Yes I would if I can use the Boots Skinny to get them. I have one last pack in my stash and then I am out of wipes. I will be on the look out for some glitch/bargain Mr T ones from now on.

Also my Clinique Clarifying Lotion is spluttering but I have a 400ml size one in the stash so will decant it tomorrow.

Mm, The chai tea and the body butter both sound gorgeous! Will look out for the brand you mentioned.
I so don't actually need tea though, I counted about 12 different kinds as I moved and that didn't include seeing what was in a tin of various brands/flavours of fruity tea or the sainsbury's tea we're still drinking here!

Ooh, thanks for the tip! I love chai too but have never been that impressed by Twinings version. I will look out for Palanquin.

I'd been longing to try the Spiced Vanilla Body Butter from BS, and it's currently half price. So I got one from the Durham Body Shop. I do have the Aldi BB and my little BS Marie Claire freebie. The BS BB will only last a week though, and the spiced vanilla fragrance is exactly what I hoped it would be.

Nooooooo! I wish you hadn't of said about that Vanilla stuff from BS
I was staring at the webpage yesterday looking at it, contemplating ordering it and managed to convince myself I didn't need it, now I want it again!!!!

Have my job interview at the printers this afternoon, totally freaking out about it and begining to wonder why I applied for a job Im not really even qualified for - applied for a bit of a laugh more than anything. Never even expected to hear back from them and instead I got an interview :rotfl:

2 UU for me today:

- 1 x John Frieda Frizz Ease (Purple bottle) - WIBA? yes it's my HG of hair serums, love it! I do have another in my stash, and I'm also trying to UU an old TIGI one too so am currently alternating the two. I only buy the Frizz Ease when Boots has a 342 offer but think I'm set for rest of year at moment!
- 1 x conditioning sachet that comes with the Garnier hair dye - lasted 3 washes which was good

I'm away this weekend in London for 2 nights so need to prep my weekend toiletries bag tonight.

Morning all TFIF!! Got another UU.

Prescriptives Quick Remover for Eye Make up - WIBA? No I dont think so, its quite nice but no better than one that costs a fraction of the price. xx
