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

skintscotslass

Hi folks

I would like to re-join...I posted reguarly on here a few years back and I was doing so well, my stash decreased significantly. However, I was 40 two years ago and got lots more gifts than I would normally get. Then last year, every single present was toiletries (hmmm, trying to tell me something??). Even my aunt who always buys me a book got me a S&G set (not complaining about that one lol). So I need a bit of support to get sorted. I had a moment of weakness last month and bought 3 lovely nail polishes which I really do not need.

I've made lists, although I havent counted the stuff in my wardobe. I've got loads of sets in there which I might recycle...need to check on use by dates.

How do I go about joining the FB swapsy group? I'm sure I can make use of that.

Look forward to chatting to you all

Hello, I've got a few recent UUs to report

UU Boots own make-up remover pads - WIBA: Yes, although they are rubbish for everyday use (leave a greasy residue, not 100% effective and you need quite a bit of rubbing to remove eyeliner) they're good enough for travel and inexpensive. I like that there's no risk of spills

An IN and instant UU - Montagne Jeunesse cucumber peel off face mask (5 ml as opposed to 20 ml full size) - WIBA: Yes (I'll try some other ones from their range) - the 5 ml was enough for one application, so these masks are quite economical. It peeled of easily and in one piece, dried quickly and smelled ok (apart of slight alcohol fumes). I'll buy some of these after I made progress with my stash, they seem to be a perfect size to use up before I'm bored. They are currently 4 for 3 on their website and there's a code for 20% off.

Almost UU - Lancome teint miracle foundation sample - WIBA: Probably Yes - It has a natural satin texture, gives medium coverage and blends in well. It's very watery but doesn't crease. I like it more than the Clinique tinted moisturizer. It glows a bit too much for me though, I need to set it with powder, which kinda defeats the purpose. I still have one use left in the sample, so I'll try to make my mind up tomorrow. There's a stash queue too

I had a crafty weekend and made a palette with old individual shadows and a blusher. I removed them from their scratched and ugly looking compacts and glued to a flat tin. It saves a lot of space and makes me want to use them more Also, it now appears that i have less make-up. Unfortunately, not all shadows wanted to come out of their pots easily so I managed to create some surface cracks in 2 that I liked. I can still use them, so no loss there

Hey everyone.:wave:

Have either eczema or ringworm on my thigh. Not sure which. :S I used to get eczema alot as a child but I haven't had it for years. It's only a small patch which is why I'm not sure if it's ringworm or not. :S Now my right shin is really itchy too. *insert confused face*
Not sure if it's a reaction to something I'm using either. I haven't used any products that I haven't used before in ages.

Hello all,
Hope everyone had a good weekend, I really enjoyed working in the sunshine for a change!

UU:
1x sample of Clinique Turnaround Concentrate serum. WIBA? I'm not sure if it was this that has given me tonnes of spots that I can't shift. Anyway, It was relatively old, though. I probably wouldn't buy again, does leave your skin like silk though

1x Anna Sui Secret Wish body lotion. WIBA? It came as part of a gift set, I wouldn't say no if it was part of a set, but wouldn't go out to buy it specially.

1x BS Banana shampoo. WIBA? Yes, like this. Used it as a kid, glad they brought it back.

1x M&S Bath Crystals. WIBA? Another Christmas present. I wouldn't personally buy them. I like using them though!

OUT:
1x Sample Clinique Turnaround Instant Facial. This is as old as above, would rather not bother with it now.

INS:
2X Original Source shower gels, 1 pineapple, 1 raspberry and milk. Both smell delicious! Only a £ each in Sainsburys... definitely didn't need them though.


This might be it from me for this month, nothing else spluttering or near the end.
(Might be an IN with the freebies from the Telegraph, shhhhhh!)

Hello all, haven't been on here for a while! Got plenty of ins but they were all free so I don't mind so much... I shall tell you about them when I have time. now I'm waiting for a phone call back and looking for stuff to ebay.

I am pleased to say hubby got that job and starts tomorrow. It think the hours only equate to part time and it's minimum wage but it all helps. Also had my first scan on Saturday which was really weird seeing this baby but don't actually feel pregnant at the moment. Been quite fortunate that the only sympton I've really had was tiredness. Have missed out on the morning sickness and may it long continue (fingers crossed).

On topic, threw out a massage lotion on Sunday which I was going to finish using up as a body lotion but when it came to it realised I probably wouldn't use it so thought I'd just bin it.

Hope everyone's enjoying the sun today, just a shame I'm in work

An Non Bought IN - I got the Montagne Jeunesse cucumber peel off mask as a freebie in the post too.
I can remember using a peel off mask years and years ago, but not one since, think it must have been Avon as that was all I ever bought back then. It should be a bit of a laugh using it, anyway.
