No to Buying Unnecessary toiletries in August 2011!

Alton_Towers

Evening all. A UU Dove mineral deodorant WIBA got this from Mr T's with the voucher for a quid. I like Dove but it doesn't seem to like me, brings me out in spots under my arms. Onto a Mitchum stick now. I have also scooped out a previous Mitchum stick as there was loads in the bottom still bit not sure whether to try putting on top of the new one to UU so it blends in?!

An IN latest in beauty box but this was the luxury minis one for £4.95 hmmm not sure it's worth the money as it had a small tropical batiste dry shampoo, a men's nivea gel, clarins 15ml moisturiser and a couple of sachets oh and a mini balance me shower gel.

Alton Towers - there's so much buzz about these sample subscriptions at the moment, I am getting obsessed. I'm considering Boudoir Prive, as there's a code for 50% off your first box, making it £5. (if anyone is interested, you can see the non-unique code in one of the photos on htis blog review http://pyaribeauty.blogspot.com/2011/08/review-august-boudoir-prive-box.html ).
I'm not sure if i should go for it, it seems to be such a perfect shash filler with a lucky dip of 5-6 products.. And I supposed to have gone cold turkey.. I shall try to resist!
Off to the bathroom to do my beauty routine, and then bed! Sleep tight ladies.

Good morning all, I forgot to mention another IN that I received through the post the other day. QVC have an upcoming Elemis TSV and I've been sent a sample of the Tri-Enzyme mask (must be their newest product). I won't be using this as I had a reaction to the Tri-Enzyme range when I tried it so if anyone wants it PM me and I'll send it on. First come, first served.

Have a good day everyone. I'm on countdown. 2 more days of work and then I have a week off. woohoo. x

used up a dry shampoo (well it was empty and sitting in the bathroom for ages so out it went)
also used up a soap and glory lotion, think it was the firminator

also out went a avon split end repairer, never used it as didnt like the feeling it left on my hair so it went in the bin

Hi all,
Thanks Alioth I will declare them all, like you say I have to use them up and add them to my stash list, might as well count them!

So INs: 12 :eek:

I'm off to a posh hotel tonight, so going to take some minis that are half full, and a Molton Brown mini bubble bath that i've been saving for a special occasion, lol, doing the pink candle philosophy today!

Have a good day everyone.

Hi Ladies, how are you all?

Finally got a chance to do my nails last night. Haven't had much time recently at all with work and Ramadan. Now they are two alternating shades of blue. I woke up to eat this morning, and I thought what's on my nails??!! Then remembered my odd colour choice

Helped an elderly customer today with trying to apply for an EHIC card (still at the garage but she's lovely and her (ex) tenant has been stealing from her so she pops in now and then for a chat). Then she said after looking at the picture of it on the form that she had one but didn't know where, so then got her the number to call for a replacement one. She gave me a little parcel and I said no it was fine, but she insisted. When I opened it inside was a 7.5ml bottle of Chanel No.5!!! I just googled it as I thought 7.5ml is an odd size, and it sells for £77 + :eek::eek::eek: So a totally unintentional but lovely IN.

That Radley bag is beautiful Hanval. I'm trying not to spend anything, but I'm getting itchy fingers with a £5 voucher from Nails Inc for my birthday and an email from Avon for my birthday offering a free bottle of Rare Gold with any order (I haven't even smelled it - is it nice?) Plus Urban Decay's 15 palette and BOS4, and I really don't need either

Have a lovely evening Carolyn

I've ordered a drawer unit from Wilkinson now to put my makeup and nail varnishes in. If they're easier to get to, they'll get used more. Just waiting for it to be delivered to store. I hate waiting for deliveries!

Yikes, just remembered another non-bought IN :eek: An Organic Surge Gentle Meadow handwash that I won in a twitter competition. Smells amazing. This is of the scent that I had a hand cream in from the Vitality Show earlier this year, and then gave to sister2 as she loved it so much.

Thanks Sawan82,
I love the drawer unit! I was actually admiring the exact one in my hairdressers on Monday!

I've decided that all my moisturisers are too greasy for my face so I'm going to use them on my feet!!!!! I think I need a lotion rather than a cream so has anyone any recommendations for greasy skin, large pores, blackheads with rosacea (gawd what lovely picture I just painted of myself:eek::eek::eek:)

Not sure what your budget is but I really like the Liz Earle light moisturiser. I suffer with an oily forehead and noticed since I've been using it my forehead looks completely different. Compared to other moisturisers I've used in the past I feel this one actually sinks in rather than sit on my skin and it smells really nice too .

LMAO :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: It depends what's the better option: dreaming or a passionate burglar!!

I get some sort of dermatitis when I use the towel in the bathroom at work, so I keep my own one hidden. Chemist said it's probably where the others don't wash chemicals, grease, etc. off properly :eek:
