No buying unnecessary toiletries in May - Challenge

Alton_Towers

I have some amazing Ins Darphin aromatic cleansing balm and Eyecing fatigue fighting eye cream both full size products worth £100 I paid £3.50 for both as they were in a charity sale at work. It would seem no one else in the office knew how much they were worth.

UU TBS cherry body scrub WNBA not scrubby enough but love the smell. Onto a cranberry one next.

Here goes with my birthday INs:

Lush
Rock star soap
Space girl bath ballistic

Urban Decay
Naked pallette:j
Eyeshadow primer 3.7ml

Clarins
Eau des jardins 100ml
Eau des jardins shower gel 50ml
Eau des jardins smoothing body cream 50ml

Had a lovely time in Bicester - I bought some things in Crabtree & Evelyn and L'Occitane but some will be gifts so just in the process of deciding what to keep and use my birthday money on and what to put in the gift store.

Lovely gifts too!

Hello lovelies, :wave: I am shockingly late on parade this month, but I'm still doing the challenge. Some UUs wil be coming soon - and also some ins! :eek:

SuiDreams

Put some of that green balm on my face and it feels a little better. Have forgone my usual nightly skincare regime hoping for healed face in the morning.

Another May UU, Lush King of Skin body butter - Lovely, gorgeous stuff but I tended to use it more as a massage bar than a body butter as its very oily. Smells divine! Has bananas in it which I detest but hardly discernible in this in any case. My OH had the pleasure of the last bit of this, just as well really as the tiny sliver left was then covered in his chest hair! Yuk :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: WBA for sure

Also had a conditioner UU - L'Oreal Cashmere Balm (out of hair colourant) - WBA and more in stash

Several cut down splutterers so more UU promised soon.

Totals for May so far are even at 11 each, will hopefully soon have more UU than IN, pushed up INs by LIB CEW box contents but not begrudging those as I'm happy with them. Not used anything out of there yet but keep looking at the box and its contents in anticipation. Trying to whittle down original stash items a little more first

Forgot to quote and can't be bothered finding the post but thanks for whoever gave me advice on the tea tree pore strips :rotfl:

Do you have a Home Bargains near you? Only they have some nose strips they usually stock there, I think they're called T Zone, that I get my OH which are really effective and only £1.50 ish - hope that helps (or more options may make it more difficult but at least they are an MSE option!) :rotfl:

Yes, I don't know what I'd do without Home Bargains I have got pore strips from there before, called 'skinlite' or something but they didn't really work, think I have seen the T Zone ones before so may try them - thanks.

Ooooh! Lucky you :j

SuiDreams - that was an excellent idea to use the Moa balm. I hope that your skin heals nicely overnight

emsjune - I've started to use the Perricone serum from the LiB box and I really like it Everything else is put away as I have opened things to use up first (I didn't have a serum on the go). I think it was a really exciting box!

Ladies, I need your help.

Now I don't want anyone else getting toiletry purchasing ideas, but given how good you guys are at getting a bargain, I need help finding the cheapest way to buy TBS cocoa butter (200ml) and/or the corresponding body scrub, depending on how much they come to. It's not for me, honest - it's for a friend who loves them and is broke and who needs a bit of TLC. Some people were mentioning a 40% off code a while back. Is it still on, and where can I get it? (All other ideas greatfully accepted, too.)

Also, I just found my last TBS body scrub (again, passion fruit flavoured) and I opened it and smelled it. It's on its last legs, so I shall have to put the S&G Breakfast Scrub away and use it first. *sigh* and I thought I was getting places...

I checked my stash last night and in the drawer I am really low on shower gel! I have 3 mini blissful body washes, 1 red mens FCUK body wash and nowt else. I have opened a BS cocoa butter body wash, DH has a FCUK open and the kids have an aloe vera one open. I'm just checking out what to buy next but think I might get some out of the winning gardeners hand set jobby thing I got a month or so ago.

I have a UU - the S&G hand cream that has gone off.suffice to say WNBA!
