No to buying unnecessary toiletries in September!

Kaz2904

I'm in again for September
I will take photos of my stash some time this month and show you all my shame. I did think that I would have been reporting a UU of the hair and body wash we have been using as shampoo but it still has a dribble in the bottom. It'll be gone by the end of the week though. Although, it's Friday isn't it? Hmmmmm.
Need to rifle around in the stash to find something suitable for hair washing or I'll have to go and buy myself some shampoo.
In which case, I think perhaps I'll take the photos today!
Red looks lovely
Oh forgot to say, Sarah*A, I voted for your pic, I wasn't sure what I was voting for but saw your link on XOXO's profile so thought I'd click on the link .
My time will still be a little limited because I'm knitting a cardigan ready for winter. I've done 1/4 of the first sleeve and it's a bit of a struggle as it's attached to the body and knit in the round but it will be great when it's done

Sparkleisshopping Do take that nail varnish remover pen back - your argument is that it is not fit for purpose, and you can only find that out by actually using it, so there is no reason not to. Once you've got your refund, use it to buy some cotton buds to dip in your remover and use in the same way as the pen! You can actually get specific cosmetic buds which have a pointed end one end which might work well I would have thought? The coat, by the way, does indeed sound fabulous......pictures will be required!

thanks for starting this EH.

I'm in again. Think i'll still be here next year at the rate i'm going.

According to my records i'm down to 158 items, and have used up/GA 130 items this year to date. This thread does work!!! If it's in blue it's generally in use.

aiming for another month with no spend, the incentive at the moment is that our flat is on the market and we've found a house we want... so got to use things up and save our pennies so that we can set everything in motion. I may list some things on ebay this weekend during their free listing weekend. wish me luck

Hello Lovely Ladies!

Just a quick 'un from me as I have completely lost track of the day :eek:

I've been chosen to trial the new max factor Ageless Elixer Foundations - and part of the welcome package is 16 samples to send out with Market Research forms. Would any of you be interested in being one of my guinea pigs? I'd send you the sample, the form and a money-off coupon and you'd need to fill in the form and send it back (email would do or I would send an SAE if you'd rather post it).

Let me know if you fancy it and once I've got the samples I'll gather addresses )

I've posted this on the FB group too but I know a lot of you aren't members so wanted to make sure everyone could play

trudji - Red looks awesome :beer: it's amazing how big they get :eek: My parents once bought a pony who turned out to be pregnant and they spent almost 6 months expecting her to pop because she was so huge :rotfl:

Will catch up later :cool:

hi guys im in for the month. got some uu to report- avon in bloom perfume-smells nice but nothing special and a lush rockstar soap-got 2 more in stash i love this stuff. used a bodyshop voucher and treated myself to a face and body brush,got some samples from origions and also got a lipstick from mac as i finished 6 items-shade pretty please.going to be good rest of month apart from a avon order on the way :P

lynseydee

Just a quick post.

The first thing is can you add me to the list for this month please.

I have had two UUs, one of them was last week but haven't had a chance to post which was my perfume and the other was a conditioner I used up this morning.

I think the last time I had an in which wasn't really needed was when I took up the Sensodyne offer in Boots about three or four weeks ago. Other than that I can't remember the last time I bought anything uncessary so definitely heading in the right direction.

My biggest challenge for September will be that QVC have some elemis shows towards the end of September and i love their stuff.

I like some Elemis products as well. My HG moisturiser is PCMC which I'm getting low on - have about half of my last pot on the go now. I've got to try not to repurchase before my hols at the end of October even though there's a really well priced kit being released in aid of Cancer Research as well.

Had a look yesterday at the No7 counter with my voucher in hand, but there have been so many that there is just nothing at all that I want now. Wish they would do something different for a change.

Yes, wouldn't it be great if they did a voucher off one of the other beauty brands for a change?

I have an in - OPI correct and clean up pen. I wanted a remover pen for ages and chose this one over the boots own brand as I was impressed that it was refillable. It is the biggest pile of bob I've ever owned! It doesn't dispense the remover into the pen tip so I'm effectively just chiselling the nailvarnish off my fingers with the tip. I'm going to write to them and complain as I paid £10 for this and it is rubbish. I guess I can't return it to Boots now I've used it? It has purple nailvarnish on the tip so it's obvious it's been used.

Hi, this sounds like a con to me. I find that OPI lacquer washes off my skin with soap and water!

Hi all.
I'm really embarrassed my the size of my stash list, i'm still working on typing it all out Its 6 word pages long already. I hope to finish it at some point in the near future.

One out today courtesy of ebay:
Clinique clarifying lotion no4 400ml. Sold it a bit too cheaply imo, but it might as well go to someone who can use it. I find that when I use the no4 just now (yes I have another bottle), its a bit harsh.

Two INs courtesy of a 30% off BS instore promotion
BS rainforest radiance colour protect shampoo 250ml
BS mini rainforest radiance colour protect conditioner 60ml
Shampoo is the last frickin thing i need after all last months donations, but i'm hoping to switch to organic shampoo and conditioner so would like to try these out.

Several other things spluttering too.
My goal this month is not to buy any further items, freebies and donations are always welcome though, and I won't turn them down!!
