I'm in again this month please!! Thanks to Itzybitzy for the new thread.
I've just posted on April's thread but feel the need to do it again here because I am very proud of myself - I bought no toiletries in April
First complete month since starting the challenge! Still a very long way to go though, I inventoried at the weekend and still have a scary amount of toiletries in the bathroom.
So, on with May! :T

UU
Nivea Creme Soft Shower Cream, 50ml - WBA, Nivea products always do what they say they are going to do! Nice soft skin
Loccitane Verbena Body Lotion, 30ml - WBA, this smelt so clean, couldnt get the lid off to get the small bit left though
Garnier Body 7 Day Intensive Body Lotion, 6ml - Hmmmm, im not sure how this is a 7 day trial size as this did one of my legs and my tummy and thighs! Nice enough.
Dr Perricone Advanced Face Firming Activator, 15ml - Love this stuff, smells so nice and have been using in place of a serum. Tightens up the faceWNBA though as far too expensive!

I know what you mean, I started with LE in January and must have easily had 5 or 6 of the trial 30ml sizes since then!! I have a 200ml at home, once that's gone I'm going to see how long I can go without having to buy one. I've got another on the way from the CEW box aswell :eek:0 -
I'm in again
Kaz I hope DD recovers soon - huge *hugs* to both of you!
The only INs I can see this month, are a medium coverage foundation (I only have stocks of light coverage), concealer (same reason as the foundation, and sleeping so badly nowadays I need the extra help), and a want: the EL Bronze Goddess Eyeshadow palette. I know I don't need it but I really, really want it - more than the Naked2 palette :eek: Got £12+ on my Debenhams card, and going to try using the free £5 to get it
Oh!! And the SSB & Amarya boxes

I'm in again!;)Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -
I was just almost tempted by BS:eek: Saw on an email from Quidco you could get 50% off for up to 10 products through its only 50% off if you buy 10 products...1 product is 10 so nowhere near as good as it sounded and my monies safe:)Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0
