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

InaPickle

I'M IN!

I've FINALLY just finished Chi Light Protective Day Cream. It has taken AGES, and was finally demoted to foot cream, a job at which is was very good.

WIBA? Only in the case of nuclear explosion, which is about all it's good for as a day cream. It absorbed nicely on the face, but created a terrible barrier, on top of which nothing like foundation could hope to sit properly. There is a reason it was going cheap at the beauty wholesalers, methinks!

Also, I've given a ton of stuff to my aunty, who is visiting, but I'm not sure what she is taking/leaving as she only has a small bag, so I'll count all that up later.

Thanks for the new thread, Essex.

I'm in again. One UU to start the month, 15ml sample size (freebie) of Elemis pro collagen quartz serum. WIBA - possibly but I have time to decide as I have one more to use now. My skin does feel nice after using it but I would need to look at the price as I may try other serums before plumping for this.

Welcome to the challenge Karen. One of the great things about the threads is that we get so many useful reviews of so many products.

I think I need to join this group. Since January 2011 I have gone crazy with buying body butters and the body shop threads don't help lol. I've got too many to use that it is actually stressing me out:

BS Almond Body Butter
BS Passion Fruit Body Butter
BS Papaya Body Butter x2
BS Blueberry Body Butter
BS Spiced Vanilla Body Butter

bs rainforest conditioner - half used but dont like
australian organics shampoo - in use
australian organics conditioner - in use
l'oreal intensive shine hair masque
bs rainforest moisture hair butter - in use

Writing this out has made me feel even worse - i never knew i had this much and i can't belive how much money i have wasted. i didn't really need any of it and don't know what to do now. my friends and family are allergic to most of these products so it's not like i can give them away. all those butters and lotions will probably last me well into next year as it can take me 2-3 months to use 1! Does anyone know how long the unopened body butters last if they have their seal on?

Well I suppose Im in yet again Although to be fair Ive not bought anything in ages just because Im broke, but I would have bought tonnes of stuff recently if I actually had any money

I need to do a proper stock take on my stash as although Ive not bought anything Ive had so many INs over the months as freebies etc that my stash is still growing, havent even had a UU in about 3 months

Will update with a list later on...

I'm in again!!

Thanks EH for setting up the new thread.

Welcome newbies and returners.

Don't need to buy anything this month, not even toothpaste but that doesn't mean I won't though. Magazine freebies seem to be my downfall just at the moment, i rarely buy mags as a rule but can't resist a decent freebie.

trudij

Red would just like to say that she has seen that she is July member 9a and is going to have her own UU at the weekend - if its nice, Im going to wash her tail,so that will be the end of my James Brown shampoo and conditioner....

actually - I should probably do a stash list for her as well, Im worse for buying things for her than I am for myself - and I think if its at all possible she goes out less !!!! :rotfl:

Got a splutterer! The hand cream is on its last legs
