No Buying Unnecessary toiletries in June
Comments

            Willowbee - big hugs - hope today was a little better for you. :grouphug:
 Scrappie - great news on your success :j
 Another UU so June definately looking up:
 Laura Geller Real Deal concealer - have already bought again as I really like this - my friend finds it too thick but I need it for coverage as I have high colour on my cheeks. Using this means I can use balance-n-brighten which is great for a quick make up routine. Without Real Deal I have to apply so much b-n-b that I look orange (not a good look :rotfl:)
 Had a fun afternoon with my DDs watching the river pageant and painting nails - DDs went for red, white & blue - I went for white nails then added blue and red dots with a cocktail stick.0

            Had a bit of a difficult and busy May but I'm back.
 Feel like I'm slowly making progress with my stash, which is a bit of a breakthrough, I now think before I buy anything to whether I need it and can afford it.0

 Had 2 UUs in June:
 I love Cocoa & Shea Body Butter wba possibly HG, this is one of Superdrug's ranges that I picked up in H&B for 69p and I love the scent, I love the texture! If only it sunk in quicker.
 Schwarzkopf Pre Straightening Balm wnba I bought about 10 of these in Tesco about 5 years ago when they were on some ridiculous offer. It does the job but I'm bored of it now and really don't like the smell, there's better products. So happy I'm on my last one of these 0 0

 What are your thoughts on how long to keep eye shadow pallets? I am working on two at the mo and have made some good progress but they have been open for a while now and I am a bit paranoid about getting an eye infection.
 I'm a bit worried about such things too, I decanted some rubbing alcohol into a small spray bottle (from lush toner) and give all my powders, pencils and lipsticks a spray from time to time. It evaporates without damaging them. I also use it as a make-up brush cleaner.0

            UU
 Montagne Jeunesse Mud Pac, 20g - WBA, really nice, refreshing scent and zingy feeling on face 
 Aquafresh Ultimate and Whitening Toothpaste, 75ml - WMBA, The Oral B is better
 Loccitane Brightening Hand Care, 15ml - WBA Lovely hand cream. So fresh smelling. Still prefer the Shea Butter one though 
 Berber Oil Hair Treatment, 10ml - WBA, glad i have another, this is lovely stuff. Smells like Haribo and makes my hair so soft Total debts = [STRIKE]£3116[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]2216[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£2066[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1916[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1766[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1616[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1466[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1316[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1166[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1016[/STRIKE]£866 Total debts = [STRIKE]£3116[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]2216[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£2066[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1916[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1766[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1616[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1466[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1316[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1166[/STRIKE][STRIKE]£1016[/STRIKE]£866

            Some UUs from me:
 Tesco Shea butter & coconut shower gel - Quite nice xmas prezzie, smelt good but not overpowering.
 Lush Honey Bee bath bomb - My favourite of their products, have always loved this one. Just a shame it stains the bath yellow afterwards!
 Avon Skin So Soft bath & body oil - Really liked this sample, smelt nice if quite flowery. Would buy but not sure they even sell it anymore?
 Chuffed as my last UU now means I've used up all my bubble bath/salts etc! :j
 "Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it."0
- 
            UU TBS satsuma shower gel WNBA I wasn't really keen on this but stuck with it, onto a coconut one now.
 UU Avon 3d hair rescue WMBA as it did make my hair smooth and soft.
 UU Avon super shock gel eyeliner in khaki WBA love these eyeliners, last really well.
 Have jubilee'd my toenails tonight with union jacks on big toes and the rest alternate red, white and blue.0
- 
            UU: The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Body Scrub.
 WIBA? No, my skin didn't really get on with it. It contains grapefruit oil for moisturising and that seemed to make oily parts of my skin even worse so won't be buying it again I'm afraid. Fortunately it was a GWP on one of my recent BS trips so didn't even have to pay for it!ISA savings: £25,139 Other Savings: £1750 (tied up in bond)0
