No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2012 Challenge!

asset2004

Went to L'occitane to pick up my free hand cream also had the Glamour lipblam voucher to use but they had none left :mad:
swapped an old mascara for a Clinique one
Also went to the BS for my 'birthday gift' got some soaps as they were B2G1F and hemp cream.
I have several toothpaste in as well to report, will go to my BFs. Boots were paying me to take them away - yes please! :T

Have been avoiding the latest BS sale, looks pretty good though but have lots left from last year and also a lot of Ins from the Boots 75% sale

Asset, tell us about it if you feel able to. I've been wondering how you were getting on.

Not with the body shop sale, with your bully bosses!

I have had to TA my Clinique Sunshine lip gloss. I went to put it on today and it is smelling very wiffy so in the bin it went. Not to upset and it was a bit old now and over half had been used. WNBA as I don't really like lip gloss now - except my Chanel one!

Gonna attack my brows tonight as they are looking a little messy and I am avoiding the salon this month.

Hi Fiasco. I too am chucking out a Clinique lipgloss as I've tried my best to use it this week and it's gone so sticky. It is only a small size - must have got it as a GWP - called Peacy Glow. They used to have one called Melon Sky which I loved but then the colour was discontinued. I much prefer Smashbox lip glosses now so won't be replacing this with another Clinique one when I go for my consultation on 11 Feb.

Have also had another TA and a UU this week:-

TA: small sample of Benefit Posie Tint. Just doesn't show up on my skin and Emma didn't want it either. So it's gone.

UU: 20z bottle of Philosophy Peppermint Bark. WNBA. Much prefer their Double Hot cocoa shower gel.

As these were all small sizes I'm going to put 50p each into my pot.

Have repainted my nails and am wearing Sephora by OPI Just a Little Dangerous which is a gorgeous purple colour. I don't usually like purple lacquers but do like this one. However even though I don't own a similar one I'm not going to look for a dupe for this cos I'm happy just to own this one and know from past experience of buying purple ones that they are really hit and miss on me. I've owned by Lincoln Park After Dark and Boris & Natasha and gave them both away.

Am looking at qvcuk at the mo as well as it's Beauty Day. Am going to have to try not to watch as one of those new OPI Nicky Minaj colours looks very lovely.

No purchases again this week - even when we went to Sainsbury's last night. So v. proud of myself.

I just told my OH that I am planning this morning's chores around QVC!, he thinks I am nuts, he is probably right. So far I am resisting Bare Minerals, I have just told myselft that I do not need Smashbox and Bare Minerals, my mantra for the next 25 minutes! Like you VALM the OPI will be hard, but I do want to see the colours. I am getting my nails done next week for the first time in 6 months (house move to new area etc), the salon I am trying does OPI, I have counted 7 salons in this very small town-it is a pretty affluent area. Nails at present OPI Moon over Mumbai, does not draw too much attention to the state of them. Leighton Denny Zero Gravity selected for the next paint later.

Oh dear, hides where Adela31 cannot see me!

How sad am I? I have my trusty notebood with all my polish colours listed by me, so if I do get tempted I will not buy similar colours again!

I have about 3 bottles of I'm not really a waitress, was my hero colour when I was a student and I still dream of being that self confident again (its a real tarty red )

They have of course, just done a nail envy only package lol
