No buying unnecessary toiletries in April - Challenge

Kaz2904

Went to Primark today. Was in the queue and was eyeing up the lovely nv's. Some fab colours and would have bought loads but am a bit short of cash at the moment. Had a lovely day with DD today. It was nice to be able to spend some time with her 1-1. Will have to redo nails later. They're shocking! Will do DD's too.

Bought a new washbag & travel bottle set from primark today, washbag was £3 but scanned as £1, gorgeous white blossom design on a teal background! £1 for a set of x3 100ml bottles and x3 5ml jars I think.

Will look out for the washbag. I got this travel set last year, a bargain when compared to a very similar set in Mr B's which is over £7! :eek:
Had a lovely day off today and been catching up and going through my stash. There's no way I will be posting numbers here, but suffice to say if Original Source, BS or S&G ever run low on stocks then they can come and see me!! :rotfl:
I found I have 5 of the No7 Firming Cream/ tanning lotion, bought with a glicth a couple of years back when they were on B1G1F and the £5 off No7 voucher and GWP with 250 ACM points so if I remember correctly it was around £5 for 4 bottles, 250 ACM points and the GWP and another No7 voucher so the cycle was never ending!!:rotfl:
Also found another handcream that's turned :mad: a Naked honey handcream, went all watery and feels quite drying when I put it on. :(Another cream for my feet!

Hello all - my first 2 OUTs of the month:

Decleor experience de l'age mask - WNBA - nice but not exceptional. I prefer the Elemis exotic cream moisturising mask.

Liz Earle superbalm - have enough in my stash to not need to repurchase this. I tend to use this when I am going away as it is a multi-tasker and I can use it as a lip balm as well as a cuticle nourisher/dry skin moisturiser. I also know people who use it on their hair but I have never been brave enough to try that.

Am aiming for 12 outs this month - I have a lot of full size products on the go at the moment which are nowhere near spluttering so am not expecting great things this month. I did manage to exceed my March target of 15 OUTs by managing to UU 18 but had rather more INs than expected so need to work on reducing the INs this month as well.

Today's UU:
Clinique 7 day scrub travel size

very nice, but wnba...I prefer having more microbeads for exfoliation.

UU

Skinlite Self-Heating Massage Cream, 6.2g x 1- WNBA, lovely warming feeling on face but can't help thinking it didnt actually do anything apart from that!

I am still waiting on my Joliebox...i have to contact them again if the replacement isn't here by Friday!

Im waiting on a cheque going into my bank and also my student bursery going in but that isn't till the 12th? My Easter swap has been ready and packed for nearly 2 weeks i just have not been able to afford to send it. Would it be terribly cheeky of me to send it after Easter??????? im really sorry. You will have it on the 13th if i send it first class recorded on the Thursday xxxxx got to love being a skint student.

Anyone got any recommendations for making nails stronger? mine are horribly brittle at the moment

Yep, Boots is so expensive for essentials like that.
Lovely washbag, but it was the only one left so may be old stock.

Don't know if you have me obviously, but could have cause i haven't received mine yet. If so just post it whenever you can I know what it's like to be a poor student!

Have you tried OPI nail envy? I think it's helping my nails be a bit stronger, it's often on buyapowa for a cheaper price than usual

moving related UU/GA:

UU:
bare minerals blemish therapy - WBA, this is my HG daytime spot concealer. i love that it conceals and does something to help heal it too.
Benefit powderflage - WBA, one of my HG eye concealers.

GA:
Yardley Peony shower gel - WNBA, has sls in.
molton brown shower gel - also WNBA because of SLS. also my mum loves molton brown so she may as well use it properly whereas i would be slathering it on to UU quickly.
MeMeMe primer - WNBA i just cant get over the fact it smells like strong bathroom/loo cleaner.
tarte bronzer - WNBA, im ghostly pale, i dont need a bronzer and the one i do is a nice pink bobbi brown one that matches my colouring. this one is too muddy.
