No Buying (Un-needed!) Toiletries in JULY Challenge!

youngone90

No problem, I'm sure the instructions are underneath those annoying peel-back sticker things which probably didn't help your confusion. It's completely up to you how you use it, do what you think will work best for your hair type. If all else fails, dilute it and use it as a normal conditioner. Very money saving
Thanks for the code, although I love the body shop I do begrudge buying anything full price, off to the website now. I do feel a little like we are both defeating the purpose of this thread though. I hope we don't get kicked off lol

EDIT: Just realised I can get the 400ml tub of Shea BB for £7.50, actually feeling a little giddy...

Hello all....
Nothing related to add again (sorry!) but now Im a working woman I don't have time for buying toiltries

Actually I do get paid this Friday so suddenly seeing £200 odd (for 4 days work!) hit my account will be a massive temptation to treat myself at the weekend.....and I have to go back to Cardiff to sort out the whole shoe situation so Id have the perfect exuse for a bit of retail therapy haha....

Still working and non the wiser about my job situation, agency never got back to me, not even seen the management man at the office (they are having a massive crisis atm) however am feeling a little better about things, I know it doesn't mean anything but my department has got another 3 temps in - through a diff agency to help them out for the next week or so, had a meeting called today and it was only those three referred to as the temps and not me, also this morning the lady on reception asked if I was meant to be getting my own pass soon. Of course I could be reading way too much into it but fingers crossed!

Feel like Im living the life of luxury at the moment haha, came home this evening to find OH was doing all the washing up, just need him to get the washing and ironing done and Im laughing! He said he feels like he's the one not working now seeing as Im out the door before him and home again after, but to be fair Im not complaining because the money is pretty decent - highest Ive ever been paid p/h anyway

Need to stock up now on some more Shampoo and conditioner as I used most of my Minis and samples up on Holiday - have around half a bottle of Treseme conditioner left but I think I might put that to one side as it does nothing to my hair. Have seen that Aussie is on 2 for £6 in Tesco so I might get some of that, especially with CC points too.
Should be getting a hair cut either this week or next too so Im hoping that should help the condition of my hair and make is less straw like although Im fairly convinced the Treseme shampoo is to blame for that.....

Charlie - will keep fingers crossed for you

I'm feeling quite virtuous to have avoided all the BS 50% + 50% sales - still tempted but avoiding

I have one small IN: A Dry Shampoo from Home Bargains for 79p - no brand name it just says 'Dry Shampoo' :rotfl: Smells of 'Festival' apparently - whatever that means

Evening all

2 OUTs and one IN today:

OUTS - 2 x BS Eye Liners - posted to Littlepinkstars44 in the FB swap

IN - the Garnier 14 day wrinkle cream thing. For some reason i put my parents address on it so only picked it up today.

Welldone sarah*a on avoiding these sales. I actually went into my local BS today and walked out with nothing, feeling very pleased with myself, only to order some more online! Oh well. That dry shampoo thing reminds me of an episode of the IT Crowd when they are all at the dinner party and Roy brings a wine so cheap it just says on the label 'White Wine' and Jen says 'Thanks, I've never seen a wine actually called 'White Wine' before". :rotfl:

Flutterbyuk25 what's this swap thing? I've got a few things I definitely won't use, and can't really be bothered with eBay.

It's a group on Facebook that has been set up by people from this thread where they post what they want to swap for others to see. I only joined it this week. If you PM sarah*a your facebook profile link I'm sure she will add you so you can join in as she is in charge of it.

Been AWOL for a few days - not had anything to report and as a result got behind even reading here! Few spluttery bits still spluttering - the bar of soap in the bathroom is dwindling rapidly and I'm still optimistic about finishing both my facial soap and one of my face masks this month.

Off camping at the weekend so should do some damage to some more mini's. Oh yes, and to the person who said the Dove moisturising lotion left their skin feeling sticky - me too.

Trudij How is Red now? Hope the sunday vet visit wasn't too costly?
Sarah Great news about Little Dog! :T

Apologies for anything else I ought to have mentioned - ((((((hugs))))))) to those in need of them.

Oooo one UU that I forgot to add:

Impulse Tease body spray - WIBA? - Definitely! I absolutely adore it. A body spray that I keep coming back to.

Haven't seen Nail photo's in a while so here is mine

17 lasting colour in :Sherbet Lemon and Orange soda :T:dance:

I have that Orange Soda as well - I use it all the time on my toes! Great colour in the summer

I've been experimenting a little over the past week on my fingernails with different colours I have:


Nails Inc Paris - free with Diet Coke. I really like this one, and it lasts well.

Replaced it with this on Sunday:

Natural Collection Platinum - I hadn't used this in a while, and think it looks a little alien like, I'm not keen now. Plus it doesn't go on well - lots of little bubbles, and takes ages to dry, so smudges easily.

So it was replaced on Monday night with this:

Opi Lemondae Stand by Your Man - I hadn't used this before, and I'm not sure I like it either! It's a little too gold. What I really want is a pastel yellow colour, but I don't have one...

Anyway, to finish, here is my total nailpolish collection.


Hope that's not too many photos all in one post
