No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2012 Challenge!

vivh

Hello Ladies, was thinking of joining you again, have not done the challenge since October, I scanned through today's posts and saw that EssexHebridian is on her soap box again, no one else allowed to have an opinion, then I remembered why I stopped posting in the first place. Get down from there EH before you have a nasty fall.

UUs:

avene moisturiser sample 5ml-WBA- it lasted ages and was lovely and light. Have another 2 samples in the stash:)

avon clear pore thermal mask-WBA- have another in the stash. Its made a difference to my skin and I loved that it heats up. But when I cut the tube to get the last bits out it dried up so I will put it in a pot next time:money:

but some INs:

batiste tropical 400ml- This was only something like £2.40 in superdrug and my current can is feeling quite light so necessary I think?:D

BS hand cleanse gel in pink grapefruit, strawberry and satsuma. The offer was 3 for 2 so 3 bottles for £5 and I am on my last squirt on quash (and I have none in the stash!) I will give the satsuma to my mum as she loves the smell and is very paranoid about public toilets:rotfl: I have to say these are the nicest hand sanitisers I've smelt!

and 2 unnecessary ins:

MUA eyeshadow x2- I blame all these blogs going on about them!

Well I did some tidying up in a lush hatbox, which I had studiously ignored while doing an inventory of the bathroom. I now have to add...

Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds Bubble Bar
The Comforter Bubble Bar
Pop in the bath Bubble Bar
Dorothy Bubble Bar
Gingerbread Bubble Bar
Karma bubble bar
Ma Bubble Bar
Sakura Bath Bomb (x2)
Olive Branch Shower gel
Northern Lights Soap
Bohemian Soap
Sugar Scrub (mini)
Each Peach massage Bar
which had all been living in there Opps H x

Oh and thanks for the heads up about the 3 for 2 on hand sanitisers, I abuse them at my work!

Do I have to count toothpaste? Went a bit bonkers on b1g2f oops!
I've won a tom ford eye quad for the most referrals on buyapowa. So flippin chuffed! They didn't sell them all so I should have one sent to me in the next two weeks and not the cash alternative I think the reason I don't like eye shadow much is because I always buy cheap-ish ones that aren't very good because I think"oh i don't wear it much no point buying a good one" and the cycle just goes on and on. I'm not even trying to use up my elf ones, they're going in the bin!

Boots No 7 SPF 50 facial moisturiser - Again bought it for Vegas holiday as it was recommended here. Thanks to who ever recommended it. And I used the £5 off No 7 voucher so it cost me £6. It feels very light and doesn't leave the white film on the skin that other sunscreens do :j

As the above were needed, I am not sitting on the naughty step

I've been looking for a new moisturiser with a higher SPF and was thinking of the roche-posay(?) one but I might give this a go. My aunt uses it and likes it so much she asks us to buy it from here and send it to her in Africa:)

Can we all try to be nice to each other please, we don't want to get the thread closed.

Nothing to report here..... unless I finish off my sliver of soap tonight in the bath.
Sorry to hear you're sick sarah, sending warm fuzzy cuddles your way

UU Charles Worthington Shine spray WNBA Didnt do much for my hair as blonde is hard to get a nice shine but I started using it as a blow dry spray and I have got to be honest it made my hair lovely and soft so although not strictly used for what its supposed to do, it did a good job for something it wasnt!

I will have some Ins to declare as I ordered the refresh and recover box from Latest in beauty as I thought I had missed out on the You offer and then got an email through to say I had been successful so then ordered one of them to, well it would of been rude not to.

I have also ordered a foundation brush from Avon after reading reviews it seems to come highly recommended, unless anyone here knows different?! But that was it no toiletry ins!!!

Right, another UU: TBS Papaya Body Scrub Sample (9g).

WIBA? Well, I never bought it in the first place (t'was a freebie!), but I WNBA as it smelt vaguely of sick. To be fair, it could have been a bit gone off as it was there for a while, but that's not a problem I will have again.

That's interesting as some varieties of papaya I've had when abroad smell that way, taste wonderful though:). I can't recall buying pawpaw in the UK, so don't know if it smells that way here. I haven't tried TBS pawpaw scrub, but after being lured back to the body shop by this and the grabbit thread:rotfl:I bought the shower gel and body butter in this fragrance and was really pleased that it did not smell that way, just sweet and lovely.

I'm using the papaya body butter at the moment and have to say I love it, it's so fresh and a lovely fragrence.
