No to Buying Unnecessary toiletries in August 2011!

minerva_windsong

Alanis - on nail polish thinner, try something called Seche Restore (available from Sally Salon Services, who have loads of shops round the UK and a website). I use that in my top coat when it's getting slightly gloopy and it works wonders.

I AM DEFINITELY IN!!

h007

Can i join you guys again please?

I did this challenge last year but then moved house and everything stopped. but i am more settled now and think i can start again.
The only toiletries i have had to buy recently is some bubble bath as my old place didnt have a bath but other than that the only new stuff was gifted to me.

i have 5 plastic tubs in my bathroom and will do an inventory tonight if i have time!!

like the idea of swapsies - i have some no7 stuff i dont get on with but i cant bring myself to chuck it!

I have started my stash list! :j

I am already on to page 3 of a word document, and that's only stuff off the top of my head!

Welcome newbies and returners.

Not off to too good a start this month but was needed. Avon are doing free delivery if you spend £10, a couple of months ago i started using their clearskin professional range and apart from the gloopy mask that i chucked it has worked wonders. I no longer have an avon lady so decided to use the free delivery offer as i don't really want to stop using it now that my skin is clear (has particularly worked well on white bumps on my cheekbones, every last one of them has gone) and ordered the toner pads, scrub and moisturiser, this was £9 so i added on a bottle of their liquid wax spray for hair which I also rate highly. Came to £11.25 all in and I am determined that will be it for August.

First UU's of the month:

Garnier Soft Essentials Face Wash
WIBA?
Maybe, it did it's job. Nothing special about it though. Now onto my Clinique Face Wash

Lush It's Raining Men Shower Gel
WIBA?
Loved it, smells amazing! But it was limited edition for Valentines Day 2011. So Will have to wait till next year to get another bottle, think it was something crazy like £17 for it as well! Now going back to a half opened S&G Ifoam

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion
WIBA?
Really used to love this moisturiser, though recently it doesn't seem to be really doing anything for my skin. This was a Christmas gift from my mum, so don't think I'll be buying it for myself again. Won't complain if I get another bottle this year for Christmas though! Now opening Garnier Soft Essentials Face Cream

And OUT's sold on Ebay:
Lush Little Lush Pud
Lush Magic Mushroom
Lush Christmas Eve
Lush Calacas Shower Jelly

I love Strawberries and Milkshake body lotion and shower gel. Have been in the stash for far too long now, tried to use them last week after swimming, smelled horrible, must have gone off!

Spluttering
S&G Perfume
Juicy Couture Perfume
Mac Studio Fix Fluid NW20

Gleek

Please count me in, I have such lovely stuff and I never use it! I'm also saving for a couple of special days in October so every little thing I don't spend it on = the better

DorsetGirl_2

Okay, os this is my first month and I hope I get the terminology right, but I have my first UU.

Its John Frieda 3 Days Straight.
WIBA?
Absolutely. I have had it for a couple of months after having to get it on Boots advance order. I have very thick hair which is a nightmare to manage and keep straight. I normally have to straighten every morning and wash it every other day. Its really helped keep my hair non-frizzy on the humid days and I dont need to do so much straightening when I use it. It doesnt leave a film in my hair either. The only problem I have is the trigger spray is difficult to work on the back of your head.

I have a couple of thing spluttering, my Clarins Flash Beauty Balm (sob) and my OS Mint and Teatree hand wash.
