Thanks Trudi!
Yes, in again. September was a good month for LHJ UU's, had a few of those.
Also quite a few Non Bought Ins, with shampoo/conditioner/bodywash/toothpaste freebies and an Argan Oil trial. I'm really intrigued by the Argan oil. First indications are that it's very pleasant to use, but the dropper blocks very easily. I've been using an earring wire to clear it as that was what's most readily to hand.
A UU to start the month off, of M & S Ingredients Lime and Bergamot body butter. WIBA?
No, not this one. The consistency is fine, rubs in well, skin feels good.
It's the fragrance. I'm not sure if it's the addition of bergamot, but this smells like grapefruit pith rather than fresh, citrussy limes. There's also a slightly stale note to the aroma. I used the last third of the pot as foot cream as I began to really dislike it.
Hopefully the rest of the range is more to my taste. The last few warm days have meant I've been back using body lotion rather than body butter. Next in line is an Aldi Urea unfragranced BB.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -

had one of my lowest UU months in September only 6 items with 3 ins. At least it was a net downwards move.0 -
I'm in of course and have 2 ins already!!!:rotfl:
I went to a Macmillon coffee morning and won some hand cream in the raffle and in the post today came a spray of simple moisture boost that I won(1 of 2000) by clicking a link(of course I had forgotten that)...very useful to take on a plane:)
also got a letter about a magazine subscription that i have(slight link to toiletries as they promised me a £5 Boots voucher!)it said they could not send my mag as the direct deb would not work and my bank said I did not have an account!!!this would be laughable if it were not for the fact it is the 2nd letter saying this,I have an email from them saying it has been set up AND it is on my bank statement as having gone out!!!!
went to see Tinker Tailor last night and am still asking DH to explain a few things!1 couple walked out and another left a full bucket of popcorn so slightly strange!0 -
I'm in again!Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -
I have INs to report but only what I went for - there was no browsing today. Got a pot of Veet hot wax and a Root Touch up kit for my hair and that was it. Very disciplined of me. Also, got some deodorant for MrM.
Will change my siggy later and put the amount spent on there.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

Thanks Trudij for starting the new thread!!
I'm in again :j
I had 4 Ins and 9 Outs for September so the stash is going in the right direction at least.
I will try to be good this month, although I have seen a rather nice Bare Escensuals make up set on QVC already today :rotfl:No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins0 -
I'm in again this month although the first day of the month hasn't gone too well as I have some ins. The first is my eye cream which I posted last month about needing to get a new one as my current one is spluttering but I really can't justify the deodorant I bought just because the machine gave me 25% off. Although in my defence haven't bought anything unnecessary for a few months so can I please be let off?
Also chuffed with myself as went clothes shopping with a friend to find normal clothes I can wear with my increasing bump and managed to get 2 button down jumpers, 2 skirts, a t-shirt top, a cardigan, and 3 casual tops for about £100.00. Would just like to try and get a dress I saw I liked and looked ok on, a long plain elasticated skirt and a pair of maternity jeans and I think I'll be set for the next 6 months.Did owe £9,951.96
Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j
Owe Virgin [STRIKE]£5,950.00 [/STRIKE]at 0% til June 2009 £3,427.89. Owe HSBC [STRIKE]£5,460.78 [/STRIKE]2.9% til May 2010 £3,703.07. Owe Post Office £1,676.62 at 0% til September 20100 -
2 more UU:
moringa body butter 50ml-WIBA? maybe, it was a little overpowering and I prefer others like olive more.
lush Turkish Delight sample-WNBA- it was too impractical to use in the shower and I needed too much to get a decent lather, so I used it as handwash instead. It smelt nice but wasn't amazing, certainly not enough to justify the £15 price tag. Plus, towards the end of the sample it changed texture and went a bit mushy.Toiletry spend £34.95 In: 10 out:130 -
Please count me in again - was very good in September and I've come a long way in 2011 so far! Will update my list soon too
