Every time I read this thread I hear about something else I want to try!
(today, señorita Margarita body scrub and L'occitane verbena shower gel).
Good luck with the pre-holiday weight loss VALM and Rosemary. Wish I had your willpower. If I wasn't in a running club I think I'd be a competitor on The Biggest Loser!
L'Occitane Verbena shower gel is gorgeous. Very zesty.
Thanks for the good luck wishes. I find it so difficult to stick to a diet but I'm doing ok at the moment. Had a bit of a splurge at the weekend but am back on track now. Being in a running club sounds good fun. I would love the opportunity to go on the Biggest Loser. Having someone to personally train you and cook for you for 6 weeks would be great. I don't think I'm big enough to fit the criteria though.No naughties to report, mainly from lack of opportunity to get to shops:eek:. Bought two nail polishes - Max Factor Odessy Blue and Essie Sew Psyched.
Thank you Sunshineyday for sarting June thread running, I am in again, hopefully a couple of UU's this week, but mostly on full sizes so will not be a good month, my Elemis night cream and other stuff for pressies is not being shipped until next week, and so far, I have managed to stay strong on all the good things you lovely people have mentioned.
Have googled the Essie colour and that is lush. Perhaps I'll have a nosey next time I'm in Boots. Most of my items are full size at the mo as well. Day 7 though and still no unnecessary purchases. Yay me. xBack for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Off for a groupon meal tonight(3 courses OMG poor diet!) and have PYNW a pearly orange,after using the Jessiac life jacket my nails seem much better even tho it said to use till the end of June.
one ebay item now has 18 watchers:j
Sounds lovely. We port at Lisbon on our cruise and I'm really looking forward to seeing it. Never been to Portugal before.
We have a living social coupon still to use for a local curry house. Am saving it though. Emma is due to go to a festival with friends at the end of this month so am planning to use it then so that we can have a rare night out alone.[
I had a UU yeaterday - BODY LOTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So that's another £1 added to my vegas fund.
The 400ml Decleor BL that I have been finishing off over the past few days has gone. I think this is the first time EVER that I have UU a body lotion. In the past I have started with good intentions, then got fed up and eventually thrown the half used bottle away three years later. So for me this is such progress. I'm now using two SBC gells - detox and body firming. Who knows if they do what they say - but they are in my stash, so they will be used. Plus, they are not huge bottles, so could well get another UU this month!!!

Wow lucky you. I never see anything decent in the charity shops near work beautywise anyway.

I completely blame my awesome Dior SA but I have some ins and no UU's today SHAME ON ME! I'm very upset with myself. I was doing so well with the UU's and GA's, and this just completely shattered all that progress. sigh.
So I hate to admit it but I have some IN's:
Dior bb cream
Dior lipgloss Orange Pareo
Dior eye gloss in sunset
Dior e/s palette in aurora
Dior extase mascara
and then I got a dior lippie in a swap today as well.
I'm going to punish myself now and put myself on a strict ban on everything across the board. Off I go to have some more UU'sNo Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Challenge
TOTAL UU's in 2012: 588

and another one of her, taken by a mate of mine. not got any of her blinkerless yet - but there will be more when she comes.
Trudij- Grape looks beautiful. Fingers crossed for you.Thanks for the heads up re the BS Glamour giveaway, I hope I have better luck this time as I didn't win a single thing last month :cool:
Anyway would like to find out about dry shampoo, I have never used it before but in the next couple of weeks I am away and will struggle to get my hair washed, (well I can wash it but not dry it IYKWIM) how does dry shampoo work?
My hair goes greasy and flat the 2nd day, if I need to pop out anywhere I will put some talcum powder on my hair as I've heard that is a good substitue? Any ideas and price would be good. Thank you
I really like dry shampoo. The best one I have tried is batiste. Morrisons has it on offer just now 400mls for £3.32. Home bargains does 150mls for £1.49.
I have some INS for the M & S sale today.
All day mascara
2x eye shadows
Nail polish magenta
Also dry shampoo batiste 400mls
UU's
Molten brown freebie fragrance Lijang. It was nice but I WNB as it is just too expensive. It did remind me of Issy Miyake.
Sure deodorant - WBA as it really does the job. This was a great travel size product and the last of nine that I got at a great price a while ago. I refuse to spend 99p on this size at B**ts when I can get a regular sized right guard for the price.
Vaseline Essential Moisture sample - WBA as it really absorbed well. It smelled lovely and didn't take long to dry in. I have a few lotions to use first but I would look at this next time I am shopping for body lotion.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -

I cannot find my new moisturiser! :doh::doh::doh:
I tidied up yesterday, chose a new moisturiser to open (as a treat), used it, put it back where it belongs and now...
no idea! :undecided:question:
(It's in a bright orange pot!!! :wall: I won't be able to sleep until I've found it)

So annoying, I do this all the time, I have Pernicious Anaemia, and get "brain fog", I can tip out a drawer or my handbag, not find the item, then eventually there it is in the place I looked:mad::mad::mad:

I don't have any ill-health affecting memory or brain function to give as a reason but I can do 'lose what's under my nose' all the time.
The weirdest was when some of my jewellery disappeared - then suddenly the pieces were there again. I'd searched for hours through all my boxes and not seen them. Now I have re-arranged my storage so it can't happen a second time - in theory.
I hope you find the missing cream Willow. I'm forever putting my foot-cream down on the floor beside the bed after use and then booting or pushing it under the bed. Cue 5 min search most mornings.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0
