No to Buying Unnecessary toiletries in August 2011!

trudij

Lidl have one that is meant to be the same (pretty much!) as one of the posh ones asset - is that the one you mean? I cant get it from my local lidl (of course I cant - I want it!!) so am going to have to go further afield to find it...

Evening everyone

Belated birthday wishes to Charlie and have hardly got chance to catch up but do have 3 UU's to declare.

L'occitane relaxing body lotion. WIBA? Yes, in the sale perhaps as it smells amazing -but prefer it as a hand lotion.

Liz earle superskin body lotion. WIBA? No. Have had 3 of these and the first one well, the aroma was amazing,(so I soon bought two more thinking I could not live without it) but disappointingly the second tube had absolutely no scent and the third one had a slight scent to it. It seems that LE cannot have the consistency that's needed in her products. I need to know that each tube of the body lotion is exactly the same in aroma as well as texture etc:(

MOP Lemograss Lift spray. WIBA? No, although did the job - I have had it for years and am glad to see the back of it. A very satisfying UU!

And.....only two INS so far this month so quite pleased with progress so far.

Hey everyone! 4 UU's to report:

Lush Sunnyside bubble bar
Lush Big Blue ballistic
Lush Vanilla Fountain ballistic
Rightguard Extreme Dry 72 deo

This is the first time in a long time that I have hardly anything in my lush stash! Actually looking forward to not having a stash really!

Lots of splutterings coming from here at the moment, think i might be able to use up a few products by the end of the month. I have 14 things listed on ebay and they are all going to sell, so that will be 14 outs to start the month of september, with a lot more to come! Hope you're all enjoying the bank holiday, some of us have to work!

1 UU - OS Lemon and Tea Tree shower gel, this is a regular of mine so it's a given that I'll buy it again.

Also time to place a foot on the naughty step. I went to a craft fair at Duncombe Park, in Helmsley (N. Yorks) yesterday, it was a really good day out, appreciated the free bus shuttle service from the craft fair into Helmsley itself.
Anyway, came across a stall selling 'Bush Essentials' toiletries - lovely scented stuff with no nasties. A 200 ml face and body wash was £12. I normally use just Dove soap on my face, and it smelled heavenly, so I succumbed. The face /body moisturiser was nice, but I have enough facial stuff for this year and it was far too pricey to use on my body. So a non - essential IN, but it will be used.

Another UU - Morrisons body cream, :jnice texture and smell but MNBA as have lots of other butters. body creasm to use first!

Hope everyone is enjoying their bank holiday:

Just one UU to report: Garnier mineral deodorant, this is the last of my deodorant stash so would buy it again if another offer comes up.

Also forgot to add one in this month: Thierry Muglier Angel perfume, this was an unexpected gift from my brother. He must be in a generous mood.

You've done well. I think I need to take this challenge seriously and see if I can actually go through a month without buying anything! Have had a tot up though and with the exception of the nail lacquers (OPI TSV and Elle freebie) I can justify the purchases. Those INs were Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub (skin looking miles better after returning to this product); Happy Days Shampoo; L'Oreal Eye Make Up Remover; Boots Botanics Rosewater Toner.

15 UUs this month though so not bad at all. Don't think I'll finish anything else off by the end of this month although I have some splutters.

I'm getting low on Elemis PCMC but am probably going to try and use other moisturisers in my stash instead because I can't really afford to purchase this prior to my hols.

One OUT and one IN for me:

OUT - Ted Baker London Bodywear Divine Moisturising Body Lotion. WBA as it smells nice, sank in really quickly and wasn't too expensive at about £5 for a large bottle.

IN - Benefit Playsticks foundation in Spin The Bottle. This is my Holy Grail foundation (although I have been told there's a cheaper dupe out there which I might try at some point) so whilst it's not cheap it's worth it because it makes my skin feel a lot better and gives good coverage whilst still being light.
