No buying (unneccecary!) toiletries in February Challenge!!!

UU:

Jouer moisture tint in sunglow - Amazing amazing tinted moisturizer. it was a bit too dark for my skin, but I really liked it. I just put this item on my wishlist. wow, great illuminating tinted moisturizer!

One unexpected IN:
Wilkinson nail polish remover given to me by MIL. I can already tell I'm going to hate it, it doesn't do jack.

Not tried the OPI drip dry, but I second on the Seche Vite, have you tried the Poshe quick dry top coat too?. Could not live without one of these, no sheet marks on my nails now if I paint them in the evening.:):)

Yes, I'm currently using Poshe as well, but it's soooooo expensive..I'm using it sparingly :rotfl:

JARUS- I find avon's mira cuticle is very good and I wonder why I don't use it more often! It makes my hands look presentable and they look awful atm so I will have a little manicure (without nail polish- I'm afraid that wouldn't work sawan as people have said if you were to unexpectedly pass away with nail polish on you cannot be cleaned properly ah well!)

I found another UU, a Jo Malone Pear perfume sample that I didn't realise was empty would buy!

I've gone through my stash and I have very little skincare left, so it'll be time to think about a valid purchase soon! Once my 30ml of Liz Earle cleanse and polish is gone I'll have no cleanser! Unheard of!

Yeah I went through some of the other forums and I couldnt believe how nasty some people are! So I only follow the forums with nice peoples

Yes, I was a bit surprised about the personal comments that people were making about the presenters - I don't have the time or inclination for that, I just like to snoop when there is an upcoming tsv that I want to know more about.

Another UU for me:

Aveda rosemary and mint conditioner (1 litre size) - I have been using this for ages and I think that I need to try something else as my hair hasn't been itself lately. Just need to UU the 1 litre bottle of rosemary and mint shampoo (which I am now using in conjunction with Aveda Elixir) and then I am going to try some Ojon from my stash.

Not wanting to be a bad influence, but for all you nail fans out there - as well as Leighton Denny sets, our local TK Maxx had some Nails Inc sets in stock too last weekend. I was scouting round TK Maxx as I have discovered that Thierry Mugler Eau de Star smells a bit like Clinique Simply so was looking to see if they had any in - no luck in there but I have ordered a 50ml bottle from CheapSmells for about £27 which seemed quite reasonable (and I ordered it through Quidco so will get a bit of cash back too) so I will be declaring an In later this month I am afraid. However, as I think eau de star is now discontinued I didn't want to miss the opportunity to get some.

Which brand were the ones with Red? Not that I'm buying...

I do see LD in TK Maxx when I've popped in (there's not one near me either), but usually I'm with somebody (I cannot buy when somebody's with me, they know my 'problem'), so every time I look, long, and walk away. I guess I should always take somebody shopping with me, but it's online that's my downfall

I really want to try Seche Vite, but trying to UU the Nails Inc Caviar ones I have. My nails have started peeling, I think since I started using base coat more regularly, so I'm wondering if that's to blame?

Aww Adilade Use it on the days you can't pray!

NPI Arran Aromatics (Which I'd never heard of before this thread) Hand Wash & Hand Lotion set from Debs (abput £7.50 from £25ish). There's no point in buying something nice for home, sister2 is slightly OCD about handwashing, and so has super-dry skin, and she'd be through it in no time. I did contemplate getting it for work, but I can just decant shower gel into a pump bottle, I have enough of it!

The freebies with RED are Leighton Denny, but be strong and step away Sawan!!:rotfl:

UU TBS Rose Shower Gel - WNBA, it stung and felt a bit harsh.

Oh dear. I have one of these in my stash and I don't always get on with rose. Hope I don't have this reaction.

I was lucky enough to win tickets to the QVC Beauty Bash this year and a lot of the brands were showcasing their forthcoming TSVs - I have my eye on the Elemis, the L'Occitane and the BareMinerals ones. I have also just discovered this forum and people there seem to know all sorts of useful stuff, including item nos of upcoming tsvs:

Hope this helps

Was going to mention ST.com myself. I'd also say check facebook pages of the beauty brand or the guest therapist for more info.

Thanks for the link re: the TSV's. Some useful informaton, but not like being on here.

I know. I only tend to read the threads on ST.com about the TSVs I'm interested in. A lot of the threads are people !!!!!ing about the presenters.

Yes, I have that problem too. And now I work in an area that has no shops that sell it apart from the little chemist that just has one shelf with Rimmel products on it. There is a salon that has OPI though and I will be treating myself to a manicure for my hols from there.

Phew have caught up with you all.

Another UU to declare: Vaseline deodorant. Have no feelings either way and buy any roll on that is on offer.

Another £1.00 in the pot.
