No to Buying Unnecessary toiletries in August 2011!

iamsalt

Afternoon all

Couple of UU
M&S handcream - WIBA not sure - was nice but need something a bit longer lasting as my hands get so dry sometimes they are painful but not flaky!?! - using my baby bottom butter on my hands now but will need suggestions for september when i am buying again.
Charles Worthington moisture shampoos and conditioners - WIBA - not really doesn't do much.


Still staying strong on the nothing bought/in

Hanval - if there is a 'no more buying radley bags' i may need to join. Despite having 2 small suitcases already i just bought a radley one just becasue it was so pretty and turquoise!

Trudij - wasn't quite sure if i read about Percy right or not, but i think you might be in need of hug. :grouphug: You are right he will be chasing things more easily but doesn't make things easier xxx

Good afternoon all. I have had a strange month and haven't been around much, but at last I have managed a few UUs. Boots Mediterranean Rosemary and something or other body lotion WNBA as I am quite sure it is now out of production! Listerine mouthwash -but I think this is an essential and I always buy a couple of the ones on offer but avoid the really stingy ones if poss.

One purchase which is a bit 'smack,smack' was the Dolce and Gabanna Red 100ml found in a CS for £3. Well it would be rude not to, wouldn't it? I have managed to drag myself away from other toiletry bargains on the basis that I have several years supply of all but the most essential stuff. Put it this way, I can't think of anything at all I would have to buy before Christmas!

Yes - you read it right iamsalt and thankyou - all hugs appreciated !! Its very sad, but we did the right thing by him - and he never hurt or got to a stage where he was down about things.

I think I'll switch from my BS shea butter shower gel to using up some of the mini's; hopefully by the time I've used all those my OH will need new shower gel and he can use the horrible Morrisons one - I've already used one bottle of the stuff and it was grim

I have a couple of items that I UU on Friday -

Elemis vitamin body lotion mini - used as a handcream at work, was quite runny and easily absorbed. WIBA? No, got this as a hotel freebie and I don't like body lotion, I prefer a spray oil. I'm now using the dregs of the Boots SPF15 vitamin E face moisturiser on my hands at work.

Garnier fresh essentials vitamin face scrub - I've been using this at the gym and it was good except the fragrance was quite strong (I'd sometimes get a whiff of it 15 min after I'd washed my face!) and it was a little bit too scrubby. WIBA? Maybe if it was on special offer. I'm now onto the Clarins facewash miniature.

trudij - I didn't read your first post correctly, so sorry hon, big hug for you.

Oh Trudij - I also didn't catch on to your post either. I am so sorry :grouphug:

Welcome to the newbies :hello: - Some nice stash lists being posted ladies.

I have an IN - Bic Soleil Lady Shave Gel out of Home Bargains for 59p. I have put that away for my Las Vegas holiday. I know some of you love candles and they also had in a lot of Yankie Candles tarts for 19p each.

LadyMorticia

I didn't read your post properly either Trudij. Really sorry.:grouphug:

adilade

just popping in to say a couple UU:j:

FCUK polished body spray-WNBA-this is the last in my stash (I think I had 4 at one point:eek:) and I'm tired of the scent now. Need to get my body spray/perfume stash down a bit so I can try glamalot (I'm sure I said that a few months ago:rotfl:)

Herbal essences conditioner (smooth and sleek I think..)-WBA-I don't really pay attention to what shampoo/conditioners I buy. It's usually some type of herbal essences. This was really thick so I watered it down:money: would be good in winter.

and of course some INs (well more like rediscovered things)

happy pill ballistic-I'm sure I used this up, but I didn't. I think I bought this around the time we moved(last jan:eek:) I'm surprised it still has a scent:o

another 3 clinique foundation samples (superfit/superbalanced/supermoisture?-they all sound the same:rotfl:) not sure where these are coming from but they seem to be multiplying..

avon sensitive botanicals eye cream-my mum said she got this free and already has an eye cream so passed it on to me. But I have none in the stash:j

not sure I'm going in the right direction:o

hugs to Trudi- I skim read and didn't realise- so sorry

Alton_Towers

Trudij hugs to you.

UU Elemis herbal lavender mask 3ml WIBA - yes I do like this but it is a treat!

UU mineral foundation sample - it did cover well.

Ins from Avon delivery, soft musk perfume and body spray and some more blemish clearing pads.

An IN 25p from a tabletop sale, Avon skin so soft body butter for hols to ward off the bugs.
