No buying unnecessary toiletries in May - Challenge

How about you throw the £10 voucher and put £15 in your savings pot towards something you really really want, instead of more BS that you might end up being bored with. I so really wanted the Emma Hardie Moringa Balm, but did a little delving in my stash and I find 4 full size/giant size cleansers plus 2 or 3 travel sizes, plus ALL the stuff that came with Clarisonic, plus opened stuff in bathroom and weekend bag:( So don't think I will be buying the EH in 2012. (Unless I get some birthday money in June;))

Several UU's to list later, got to go and sort stuff for 10 day holiday starting Sunday, atm I'm doing food and OH is cleaning the motorhome, then only clothes, make up, nail stuff, toiletries and the dog's stuff to do!

That would be a better idea and perhaps something a sane person would do. That would not be me then. I don't think I will use it but with their other offers it makes things really good value. Hope you have a lovely holiday.

Very pleased with the way my clarins foundation has worn today, when it goes on I would describe as semi matte as it is not dull. No shine or patchiness even in this warm weather, yay.

Enjoy your holiday, we're going soon as well. The dogs love their holidays, but they seem to take more stuff than we do. Not looking forward to getting their stuff organised.

I had a UU this morning doing really well on the outs front this month very pleased with myself.

UU - Estee Lauder - Idealist Serum 7ml - WBA loved this, still want to try more serums first.

I'm also umming and arrhing about stocking up on a particular shampoo. Original Sourse TT and Mint shampoo is invaluable to me when i works nights (and for migraines) but it was discotinued over a year ago. I am coming to the end of my stashed bottles and i can't get it in shops anywhere . The only place that has it is eBay but the pice works out at least double the RRP was???

I've seen the shampoo/conditioner in quite a few shops - Poundworld, Poundplus, Home Bargains and Bodycare. They were all about £1. If you've looked everywhere, it is quite cheap here (although expensive del.) or maybe try Superdrug Tea Tree & Peppermint shampoo, I have this and I really like it, plus the scent is similar to the OS one. HTH.

Skyllo

UU: GOSH black eyeliner. WBA, easy to use and a good price.

2 more UUs for me:-

Elemis Melting Cleansing Gel WNBA - this really is foul stuff. I've had about 3 seperate tubes of this over time because it has been in kits and I've used it rather than trying to sell on. Don't like the oiliness of it and have had to use it as a night time cleanser as it would make my skin too oily during the day. With each one of the tubes the top cap has broken whilst in use too.

I have found that the top has popped off on mine too which is a real pain - have now cut it in half and am down to the last splutterings so hope to see it off before the end of May. I don't hate this with the passion that some of you do but won't be graduating it to a HG product any time soon...Think I still have 2 left in my stash.:o

Well done on graduating with cleansers...:T

does anyone here use OPI nail envy? very time i use it it seems to turn every single polish i own into a peel off one! only did my nails this afternoon and already lost 4 full nails and half of another :mad:

I find nail envy makes my nails split so don't tend to use it - I know some people really rate it but it just doesn't do it for me. Haven't experienced the peeling polish but it wrecks my nails.

Have another UU to report:

Gatineau melatogenine futur plus moisturiser - 15ml size. WBA but seriously have no need to purchase a moisturiser for some time to come - this will probably be discontinued by the time I graduate from moisturisers. The thing that I like about it is that you can use it morning and evening so I find it is good for holidays when I want to pack ligh. Also like the texture which is not too greasy.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Superdrug one is too mild for me and drys my hair out.
Thanks tho.

The OS one was in all cheaper shops for a while (when i stocked up) but nowhere has it now although the conditioner is still stocked everywhere.

I've looked in every bloody town i've been too and had friends and family look for me over the entire South region. We don't have Home bargains or Bodycare down here. I spoke to OS themselves and it was discontinued about 18months ago so even the pound shops have exhausted their stocks now

Oh forgot I had an IN - I won the following in the Glamour giveaway (thanks to the person who posted the details on the thread), so 1 IN for me:

NSpa Deep hydrating facial oil - 50ml - haven't tried this yet but smells divine (Stocked at Asda - worth £7). Paraben free so looking forward to trying this out.

I never win anything so this was a lovely surprise - anyone else win anything?
