No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in November Challenge

One of you lovely ladies has just nabbed the last of my Pantene sample sets for coloured hair, via the Swap Shop board. I still have five sets for normal/thick hair. This evening I got a shampoo for coloured hair from Mr T's for free (Shampoo is to add volume, not one of the sample varieties) and a matching conditioner for 19p using my vouchers. These are going as gifts or perhaps in a charity tombola - lots of those at this time of year!
There's also Give and Make Up, of course.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 -
UU...original source shea butter and honey shower gel...it's nice0

I was thinking of trying one of the muppets colours, not sure which one as I would have to limit it to one. Thanks for the tip about makeupalley, hadn't thought of looking there!
It's so cold today
I have 4 of the muppet colours:
Animalistic (which reminds me of Music Hall Curtain Call released a few years ago and which I only had a mini bottle of). This is a gorgeous colour. Emma has been wearing it with matte top coat and then black shatter on top and that looks really lovely.
Rainbow Connection
Excuse Moi
Meep Meep Meep.
I think Meep is my favourite as it is not overly glittery but Rainbow Connection is a good fun lacquer with big chunks of glitter.Good afternoon ladies. I hope everyone is well. I am back from my Las Vegas holiday and have tried to keep some control over my holiday toiletries spending to a certain degree (well compared to the last few times in the US). So I managed to UU 20 items but bought 23. I did get through a few of my travel sized products which have been sitting in the stash for a while now.
Not gonna be able to catch up on the pages and pages I have missed so will just drop back in here.
Oooh spill the beans on your US INs. lolLast night I did a PYN using OPI Samoan Sand with Sally Hansen Nailshine on top. I think this is my 'mannequin hands' nail polish. I can tell I've got something shiny on my nails but they look 'nude' in photos.
What are you all wearing on your fingers/toes?
Wearing OPI Sparrow me the Drama on my fingers. On toes I'm wearing Essie Lovie Dovie with OPI Rainbow Connection on top.
Will be repainting my fingers tonight though and think I'll change to Leighton Denny Steel Appeal.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Forgot to mention I have 2 UUs:-
Garnier Summer Body - WBA but when the weather is better obviously. This is the only gradual tan moisturiser that does both those jobs effectively!
TBS Pink Grapefruit body butter - WBA again not yet though. Love the fragrance of this one.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

A UU last night (well, actually an OUT) - Tesco value facila wipes, but the sticky seal had came unseal so they had dried out.
WBA as good prce, although it's worth watching as the prices sometime rocket! However still have several more in my stash (bought when they were cheap!)
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.

Hi ladies,
Am going to post my last UUs for the month:
Balea Eye make-up remover - WIBA? Yes, this is my HG and have already opened the new one
Cerruti 1881 edt 30ml - Ditto
Cutex Nail polish remover 100ml - ditto (how boring!!!)
A pretty poor month for me, 6 UUs, 2 INs and with December and the sales looming, I need to work my way through some more products!
Sawan - that Cadburys chocolate bliss nail varnish sounds divine, doesn't someone on here like eating products? ;-)
Have a good eveningDo nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end - Edward Whymper0 -

S&G Make Yourself Youthful Serum: WIBA? yes - it did make my skin smooth if not 'youthful'and the citrussy fragrance was yummy. Champneys next
Hope all are having a good day :cool:0 -
1 UU to report - Avene Clenance Lotion (Toner), WBA, (well I replaced it today). It has lactic acid in it which helps keep my skin clear and silica which helps keep the oilies away!
