No to Buying Unnecessary toiletries in August 2011!

bev97

Evening everyone

Haven't met the nail buffer / cuticle oil / handcream seller in a shopping centre but curious to know if it is a specific brand they are selling or sort of "homemade" stuff?
(not that I want some, you understand):D

The stuff I got is called Minus 417 Dead Sea Cosmetics- with vitamin mineral complexes.

I didn't get a nail file lol, and it was more expensive than price quoted here.

The nail stuff I bought is by etre. It was this set -

- x 3!

Allowing for the US/UK exchange rate, I must embarrassingly confess to having paid a lot more than this... x 3!

I've also been caught by the nail lotion/buffer/oil/file/whatever people :rotfl:

was it the dead sea people? thankfully i said no and told my OH as we walked away how overpriced it was. I did go to Boots and get the nail buffer thing as i'd never seen that before. Still use it which is good.

Voted Sarah, your dog is adorable

So sorry to hear your news, Trudi, thinking of you and your lovely doggy *huuuuugs*


Out is a Head & Shoulders Damage Control Shampoo.
WIBA? I probably would if I didn't dye my hair, it smells gorgeous and does it's job. It strips the colour out of my hair though - and if it does that to dyed hair, what is it doing to undyed hair?

I have to admit the effect on the nail they demonstrated it on in the shop was really good - but not £30 good:rotfl:

still a very long list but i have still UU 123 items since Jan this year, and 147 since i 're'joined here last November.
I have decided i'm going cold turkey this month. I need to save money as i've just skinted myself by paying back a loan 12 months early so it's all in a good cause

i agree, it made a lovely difference to the one hand of mine they tried it on and that's quite good because of my excema. I think i only walked away as i was mega skint and had just spent my last couple of quid on some much reduced *****mas cards in the sales

trudj sorry to hear about your dog, they live close to our hearts so it's realy tough isn't it.

My bunny Douglas died on Saturday, of a heart attack thankfully we were with him when it happend and it was quick but i still keep crying. One of my cats has just been to the vets as well because she's got cystitus, poor love, it's not nice. Can't get her to drink cranberry juice though like they tell us ladies to do lol

alja

2 UU's last night - small bath bomb & co-op bath bubble stuff I'm getting there! That's 3 little UUs for this month!
