No buying unnecessary toiletries in March - Challenge

SuiDreams

Right 2 more UU have done really well this weekend with the UU.

UU TBS Shea Body Butter 50ml WNBA didn't like the texture of this on my skin and not really sure my skin liked it either, the dry patch on my ankle looks like its coming back and i'm getting red patches on the tops of my arms, I'm putting it down to it having a strong artificial fragrance.

UU Sisley Sisleya Global Age 5ml WNBA but only because of its ridiculous price, really loved it.

So will be shopping in my stash again tomorrow hoping for loads more outs before the end of the month.

Hi All,

One UU and several IN - making my way with my held hung in shame to the naughty step for the first time!

In my defence I was really hankering after the L'Occitane TSV on QVC so I sort of compromised with myself and ordered a few bits and pieces from TBS whilst the 40% off offer is still on so have these on their way:

2 x Dewberry Bath and Shower Gel 250ml
2 x Raspberry Ripple Bath and Shower Gel 250ml
1 x Brazil Nut Body Butter 200ml
1 x Passion Fruit Body Butter 200ml
2 x Cocoa Butter Lipcare Sticks

Sounds silly but I'm literally almost in a state of panic that I'm running low on shower gel, despite having at least a couple of full sized bottles to go, not to mention quite a few bars of soap - stashing habits die hard I guess! Also the ones I've got left to use are pretty unexciting stuff like Sanex and I think I'll probably end up repurposing those as handwash (how am I doing at justifying my little splurge??) Mind you it was very MSE as spends go as with sale items and 40% off the bill was a princely £15.60 from £49 full price so can still feel like I've got a bargain - won't count one of the lipbalms in as for OH who suffers awfully from dry lips which he has a nasty habit of biting. His new job which he starts tomorrow will have him out and about in the elements. My excuse/reasoning behind the body butters despite having loads of butters/lotions to go is what's in the stash is mostly S&G and I'm sick to the back teeth of it lately - think I'll definitely swop/Ebay/GA some of these items.

The UU by the way was a Calvin Klein Obsession body lotion, soo old it had separated into a sort of oil dotted with the occasional lump of lotion - still smelt nice though but not terribly moisturising - WNBA on this basis, will have been a GWP no doubt in any case.

Hope everyone's had a great weekend and made the most of the lovely weather. Happy Birthday to ZoeL :beer:

I have that Sunday night feeling and can't contemplate sleep yet, a mixture if it being too hot and feeling too early for bed - will read I think.

Happy Birthday ZoeL


An out! Hurrahh!

Asda smartprice conditioner- I would but it againbut I have loads of conditioner in the stash- i'm now on an Andrew Collinge one. I did use lush jungle solid conditioner tonight though and I LOVE IT. Shaame it doesn't fit in the tin though...

UU: L'occitane amande firming & soothing milk concentrate lotion (50ml) - WBA what a lovely scented body lotion

Fab pic amyb - You can almost hear the shelves groaning with the weight of products and what a bonus of all the stuff you had forgotten about. Just think about the money you will save in using them and how you could put that cash to something you have been eyeing up for a while...not that I am encouraging you in any way :A.

My L'Oreal Eye Make Up Remover is now a UU. I finished it tonight. Been going though quite a bit of this as I have been wearing mascara and eye shadow every day. I have another two in my stash but I have to say it does not measure up to my HG Clinique Take The Day Off.

More UU :j :j

Sanctuary Shower Gel - WMBA - liked the smell but I doubt I'll ever need to buy shower gel again

Sanctuary Hot Cloth Clenser - WNBA - really disliked this, felt slimy somehow! Not a patch on Liz Earle and not a lot cheaper either! I could have cut the tube open to get more out, but I hated this so much I couldn't face it

UU

Estee Lauder BB Daywear - Light, 5ml - This sample lasted for AGES! A little goes a long way. That being said, i would not buy full size as it is very pricey....i have vouchers for money off the garnier one!
MONU Moisture Rich Collagen Cream, 5ml- WNBA full size but one of the best MONU samples i have tried so far....so soft on skin and actually smelt different to the rest LOL!

Right lovelies, I need your help.

We bought some new purple towels and I washed them before using them. However, when I'm drying myself after a shower I get all purple stuck on me from the towel (I also get my hair from my head stuck to my body after a shower that has come out whilst washing it, but that's another story!). Does anyone know how to stop this? It's so bad, it's like I'd need another shower just to get it off.

Did you wash them on really hot? I can't remember who told me that this is the thing to do as it tightens up the weave of the base fabric so stops the little bits from falling out of the holes. Seemed to work for me when I last bought lovely dark blue towels.

Oh & hello everyone. I'm just lurking at present. I've got a fairly embarrasing stash but haven't got time to sort it yet. I plan to join you all in a while when I do.

At least its saved me from temptation. My will power was breaking down. I have noticed that the Lib boxes tend to sell out really quickly though.

yes I know they go quickly but the same day it started!!!!seems pointless being signed up with them if " You " resders get them first!!!!Last time i did get the Red box as they had some in reserve so have emailed them to see if this will happen again(will post link if it does)

have to go to the naughty step as gave in and bought the Clarins bonus time so in are toner and eye shadow base plus the gift tote with 4 freebies(red day cream and mask plus hand cream and lip gloss)

3 UU - 1 dove 24 hour deo spray. I did detest this when I started using it (i just wanted it out of the bathroom tbh) but perhaps it just took my body a while to get used to it as by the end of it it seemed to be working whereas at the start i still felt like i was stinky if i wore it. Still WNBA though
1 corsadil mouth wash which again i WNBA - it honestly felt like it was burning my tongue off for an hour or so after using it!
1 Avon cream to powder foundation compact. The colour match was excellent tbh but I want to try something else so WNBA for at least to foreseeable future

Will have a new in by the end of the day in the form of a new foundation - which I need!
