No Buying Unnecessary toiletries in June

emsjune78

Thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes, I tried to multi quote but it wouldn't let me do all the ones I wanted. :beer:

Fiasco I'm so sorry to hear about your flood, how awful and disruptive. I hope your insurance sort everything out as quickly and pain-free as possible. I remember my washing machine flooding the kitchen once in my old house and my then OH not understanding why I was so upset. :mad:

Well I was right about the hotel we stayed at over the weekend, it was really, really lovely and we got upgraded too as it was busy with a wedding on. :j They had The White Company toiletries in the bathroom (and fabulous 'rainforest showers' and soaking tubs) but luckily it was the kind where they have full sized products but they're in holders bolted to the walls, just as well really! We went to a day spa that was round the corner from the hotel and both had a hot stone massage, then I had a facial and OH had a neck, shoulder and face massage, it was lush! They used Elemis products there but I did very well and didn't come away with any. :T

I do, however, have some birthday IN, all gifted though so I'm not feeling too guilty:

Lush Sex Bomb bath bomb
Lush Sexy Peel Soap 100g
Lush Honey I Washed the Kids Soap 100g
Lush Tisty Tosty Bath Ballistic
Tesco Extra Firm Hold Styling Mousse 200ml
Johnsons Daily Essentials face wipes twin pack (I remember having quite a bad reaction to these years ago so will be approaching with care!)
N-Spa Renew Bath Soak 250ml
N-Spa Renew Body Lotion 75ml
N-Spa Renew Body Scrub 200ml
Dior Addict 2 EDT 100ml
TBS Strawberry Shower Gel 250ml
TBS Strawberry Body Butter 50ml
TBS Strawberry Soap 100g
TBS Strawberry Body Polish 75ml

OH has also intimated that there's more toiletries that haven't arrived yet so interested to see what those are!

Makeup-wise (which I don't count as stash items), I've also had:

UD Lip Junkie lip gloss in Nude and NAKED2 palette (I asked for these before the China news surfaced so have very mixed feelings now which is a shame as they're really lovely products)
Benefit Smokin' Eyes palette
Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Glow in 236 Satin Peach
I also had a lovely swap from the FB group of two mini Juicy Tubes which arrived on my birthday too so that was a nice extra surprise

There are a few of the above items I'm not likely to use so think I'll look to swap or Ebay right off rather than just stash them and have them sitting there going off - hope that doesn't sound ungrateful

Will have to pull my socks up and get some UU racked up to balance the lovely IN for June.

Hope everyone has had an equally lovely weekend xx

morning all,wet again:(:(:(good job i managed to cut the lawn yesterday:)
did I tell you I bought DH and me a hot stone massage on a livingsocial deal?£23 instead of £60 each plus 10% cashback:j:j:j:j
re ebay?how long do I wait for someone to pay and what do I do if they don't?3/4 have paid:)so now I have to go out in the cold and wet as our PO van is only here in the mornings:(:(:(the missing one is for my Liz Earle set that I am actually regretting selling.

painted nails black this weekend(to match the mood of weather and wearing black clothes)it is an Orly one from a BB which has a lpovely finish BUT don't think it suits me and DH said its very morbid:rotfl:I painted it over the orange so now have 4 coats on!will redo tonight as DH away(yet again:()on that note Ask have an offer buy 1 main and get 1 for £2 on inshop and take away,do you think if I buy a couple of mains salads tomorrow that 1 will keep till Wed?????thinking of treating myself when i go to town to take my Marks things back(for those who don't go on clothes challenge I rebought two items as they were 20% off what I paid a couple of days before and so saved £12ish!)

back to work today wearing a winter outfit:(:(:(:(

Rosemary - there is always one who doesn't pay on ebay. I leave 48 hours then send a nice message, if no response within 24 hours a slightly more to the point message then if still nothing I advise them that if they do not pay in 24 hours I will open a case against them.

emsjune - the pewter eyeshadow in the benefit smokin eyes pallette is to die for, really buttery and easy to apply. Lovely birthday gifts - lucky you.

I have a uu, Avon Hair Colour in Dark Mahogany I think, wnba, my hair is naturally a dark reddish brown and I only colour it to cover the few grey hairs (ever increasing), I always choose this type of colour but am unimpressed with this, it is dark brown with no hint of red, and absolutely no shine to it after applying the colour which is unusual as my hair is normally incredibly shiny after colouring. Anyway have washed it this morning and it looks shiny again just a bit of a boring colour.

UU

Richard Ward Energiser Styling Spray, 50ml - WNBA, i used it but only because i had it! Didn't really make that much of a difference!

rosemary54

ebayers all paid now and have sent the goodies....just wish i had realised how expensive the post was:(spent £1.60 more than I had charged:(:(:(:(seems so unfair that all items under 750gs go for the same price!

feeling grotty with a stabbing headache(the sort where you feel a knife is going in at one point,had no lunch before work as felt sick so came home to make tea only to find D?H has eaten all the biccies:(:(:(:(and just don't fancy anything else.

Just lost my whole post ---- ggggrrrrrrr!

Fiasco - hope you got sorted with your insurance and that things are beginning to move along in the right direction for you.

Kiplingmonkey - Well done on the Emma Hardie TSV (I was not so strong), that cleanser is now a HG product for me.
Foundation - When I'm not using B&B or halo (I think we have the same taste!) I use Max Factor Facefinity compact - all in one, really quick n easy. Good to pop in my bag for a night out too.

Seaside dreamer - can't believe you're ready to graduate - WELL DONE YOU! Not sure I will ever get there...........

Fiasco/ Valm/Willowbee - I too am a huge YC fan have several aroung the house burning away. Fresh cut roses, Macintosh spice, Garden sweet pea and Island spa (last twoa re my faves!). Also love mistletoe and fig that comes out at xmas.

Lady morticia - glad to hear that you are feeling all 'beautified' after your lovely shower. Hopefully you will be feeling a little better soon. I clearly have not been paying attention as I didn't realise you had a baby on the way - congratulations!

Ems - glad you had a lovely birthday and a nice time away. good set of b'day 'in's' there too BTW!

Rosemary - well done on your LS deal - bargin.

So, onto body lotion

---

well who knew that it actually works:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I am on day 11 of using body lotion every day, and my skin feels amazing. I honestly never expected a result so fast, thought I would have to wait at least a month to notice a difference, and I was not convinced how much of a difference there would be. How wrong was I?????

Somebody on here did post asking about this the other day - sorry for not replying, lots going on at home.

I intend to continue with my use of BL every day in June to see what difference a month makes.

UU - SG sugar crush - lovely WBA, but I'm sure I have a philosophy one in my stash so off to look for that first.

UU - Decleor hydra floral moisturiser, has always been my 'go to' moisturiser along with PCMC, so WBA.

So, today I found a bottle of L'loccitaine almond shower oil in my stash. Really like this. I know some of you ladies have commented on this in the past too.

After my moisturiser UU, I went off to find another - ended up opening another Decleor - can't remember the name, but it's a mattifying liquid formulae. Well, it seems to have worked wonders. My makeup is still on my face with no hint of shine My skin has not reacted to it (so far), so this may well be a HG product in the making for me. I bought it off cheap smells when they had a sale on a month or two back. Thanks to whoever posted that sale on here, would not have bought this otherwise!

I'm off to do my nails now

Hope you feels better soon rosemary.

First day back at work after holidays, and shattered its going to take me ages to catch up again. DH watching the football, so will be browsing the net.

Hoping for more UU this week.

Maybelline and Body shop both do these cream to powder foundations you apply straight from the compact with a sponge, I have used the maybelline one and it was fine.

Thank you both for these suggestions - I will take a look next time I am in town and try some of them out. At least it sounds as though there are alternatives.

Yay to us both for not buying the L'occitane TSV. Hadn't seen any of the Q all day but then I was left alone with the TV at about 6.30pm and HAD to watch. Didn't get any urge to jump to the phone even when it went to limited stock and AY was saying that it may not be available by the time of the 9.00pm show. Alas, I think I may be cured. x

Yes, I caught a glimpse too and wasn't tempted to jump to the phone, press the red active button or go onto QCut! Even saw the OTO and resisted! A miracle...

Also have an IN from my Amarya - I am not counting the 2 sachets as it needs to be in a bottle, pot or tube to make it on to my stash spreadsheet. I put sachets in my holiday toiletry bag and use them when I am away:
Santaverde aloe vera cleansing gel

Also have 2 more OUTs - I am on a real roll this month:

Trevor Sorbie mousse - this is my HG mousse which I always stock up on when it is on offer in Boots. Don't use other mousse's as a rule although do have a rogue mousse in my stash from the last 3 for 2 Boots offer when they only had 2 TSs in stock.

L'Occitane sweet lemon shower cream 500ml - love the smell of this but don't think it is available to buy anymore - still I have no need to buy any shower gels as I have plenty of others to be getting on with in my stash....Haven't decided what to use next - will see what I fancy in the morning....
