No to Buying Unnecessary toiletries in August 2011!

VALM

Good morning ladies. Another UU for me. Good Works Good Riddance to Dry Skin body scrub WNBA. I got this on clearance at Boots and wouldn't even pay the clearance price for it again. Didn't like the smell - it had pachouli in it and it's fragrance was similar to the LE ones which have camphor oil in. I also now am only going to buy body scrubs in pots as the tubes annoy me! Only have two pots of body scrub in the stash now - Breakfast Scrub (which I use when using my sweet smelling shower gels and is open (can see the bottom of the tub as well)) and a TBS Pink Grapefruit one which I'll use with my zesty verbena soap.

I do however have a Yankee Candle burning at the moment called Witches Brew which has pachouli in it and I like this. Feeling very Autumnal at the mo and will have to work my way through my sweet shower gels I think.

Four OUTs this morning:

.

Batiste Dry Shampoo Brit 150ml - WBA as the product works well at refreshing my hair and I also think it's got the best smell of all the Batiste dry shampoos. It's good value as well at around £2 a can.
am sure this was one of the things on offer at £1 in boots yesterday,never used it myself so did not buy.

DH called and said he had not meant us to have the students!...it was aman from work asking about it but just any ideas(we actually live an hour from the uni by bus and the service is not great)I suggested sparerooms.com after checking they had rooms near but no idea if they take students!
toe nails now bright pink:)off to a sap weekend with a facial this week:):):)

Another UU! Boots Extracts Fairtrade Cocoa Butter Body Butter, 50ml.

WIBA? Yes - it's thick, yet absorbs well and makes your skin feel good.

However, given the size of my stash, it is unlikely to be needed for a long time!

Onwards and sideways to Nina Ricci's Premier Jour body lotion. God only knows how this made its way into my collection, but it has! (I think it's quite old and it sounds as though it has separated in the the bottle, so I may have to throw it out. I tried a small bit on my skin and it seemed OK, but I will try more once the cocoa butter has worn off.)

P.S. For some reason the site won't let me edit my signature at the moment, so this is a reminder to myself that I have used up 86 toiletries this year. *Does happy dance*

Sawan - hope you feel better today

Memory span of a goldfish.. someone mentioned a few post back about cold sore advice. Can I recomend COMPEED plaster thingy's almost half the time of healing after the the blisters have come up. When there is a tingle stop it all together. Can even put make up over i. Yeaaaay for me ! Far better than zovirax and the like which do nothing for me what so ever. The fact that I can put lippy over the blemish is wonderful.

Thanks hun - I'm away into town today (off to pick up more free 'Celebrity Slim' shakes from SD ) so will do some price checking and pick some up. It feels HUGE on my lip - but you can barely see it in the mirror :rotfl:

Two UU's: Love Tink Perfume and Love Tink Body Spray: WIBA? Yes OK - so these are supposed to be for 'tweenagers' but I really like it - and so does OH I have another of each in stash
(thanks to the swaps group) and after that it will be eBay/Boots 75% sale. Having a break next and opening my BS Japanese Cherry.

Hope y'all are having a great day :cool:

INs
5 shower gels from TBS Earth Lovers range, they're sulphate/paraben free plus they smell great. Normally £5 each but cost me £10.49 including delivery. Gotta love the recent explosion of TBS offers

Other than stockpiling TBS stuff I think I've done quite well this month so far in not buying too many unnecessary beauty products.

Alioth

2 small UU's for me, Salcura Intensive spray (15ml) and Salcura Zeoderm sachet, from their facebook. It's for sensitive skin with eczema, psioritis etc. WIBA? - Not the spray, I didn't find it very moisturising, I will consider the cream when my eczema gets itchy.

adilade

another UU:j

place des lices matin d'ete shower gel-WIBA? nope the smell was quite masculine (I think it was meant to be 'summer morning') and you can only get it in france. Wasn't particularly special.

Spareroom.com is a good site - I've used it before for finding a flatshare and students can use it too.

I binned two deodorants today and replaced them with a Dove roll-on. The Garnier mineral roll-on has made my skin red and itchy and a Bionsen alumnium-free roll on just didn't work, which is a shame as I like the concept. I hate binning things but reluctantly had to accept that noone would want my cast-off deodorants! :rotfl:
