No Buying Unnecessary toiletries in June

dolly84

As predicted I have uu my No7 bubble bath, don't need to buy again as I already have two more in the stash also uu a mini sanctuary body butter as it was nearly done and I didn't want to open another no7 body butter.

Emsjune - I learnt a long time ago not to let work get to me. Do your best during the hours you are paid then go home and forget all about it until you go back in. It is not worth your energy to get upset.

Have done my nails and toe nails in no7 cheeky chops, a lovely coral colour.

Today I sold one of my liz Earle cleanse and polishes to my workmate who couldn't get to city centre to buy it, I've only got 2 x 50mls in the stash now! I think I might buy the no7 hot cloth cleanser next because I feel it does the same job, and I will continue to use L.E. toner and moisturiser.

I had a very embarrassing moment today.... Was doing a visit with work, always trying to maintain the professional appearance, and I slipped and fell on decking at the back door of a house!! Right in front of the client. Big bruised knee, filthy trousers and a big stain on my jacket. Got my tubigrip bandage on now, but I'm rather sore! Thing is....I rarely get my legs out, and it so happens I'm going to a wedding this weekend and have a lovely new knee length dress to wear. Can't believe I'm going to have a big purple bruise I wonder if concealer works on legs........

Been a bit busy and haven't posted for a while. Failed miserably in May at not buying unnecessary toiletries but the good news is I have only spent £1.52 in June on some Boots own brand moisturiser. Does the job and I alternate it with my BS vitamin E cream.

Hope everyone is ok and sorry to hear about your fall weesmiler, lets hope the bruise has faded a bit!

Hey all,

I was seriously tempted by this LIB box- first beauty box i've felt that way about. I suspect it'll be sold out now, phew Pretty jealous of everyone's goodies though!

Still no more UU or Ins.

The lady i'm house/horse/dog sitting for has tonnes of Elemis stuff in her bathroom. I'm kinda tempted to have a wee sniff of some of it, never used Elemis before.

two outs - decanted the lancome ( i think) and benefit face washes into my salt/showergel mixture.... going to give the pears a proper go i think and I cant do that while ive still got washes staring at me!!

I need to remember this, finished today for a few days off having worked almost all of June, doing crazy hours. This week alone I've 5 1/2 extra hours from 3 days that should only be 9-5, so having a glass of wine just now and a lie in tomorrow

Here is the link - nothing grabs me but just in case some of you are interested. May be slightly cheaper than other stores but not if Debs have their 10% off beauty offer on.

Hi Fiasco, have a look at QVC on Sunday as they have an Elemis TSV on. It's a kit that is a mixture of both skincare and bathing products. It's Super Sunday on QVC this week - apparently there will be 3 TSVS every hour. Thank goodness I will be out of the house all day.



I feel the same way about TBS. I could do with some more shea or coconut body butter but am now wary of these offers because I used to overspend for the sake of it. Am going to have a look at their outlet at Cheshire Oaks on Sunday though in case I can pick up a body butter there but I remember the old outlet used to sell a lot of overstock that never sold well in the first place.



Thanks for the link kiplingmonkey. The prices though IMHO are comparable to Debenhams at the moment. This is the link from that site to the kit that MrM bought me on Sunday which was the same price at Debenhams.

GA’s 15 items, lipsticks, eye pencils, eyeshadows, mostly gwp’s, plus 2 sets false nails all to CS.

All my make up, except a couple of new items which I have put away so I won't be tempted to open before I use up old stuff, now tidily stowed in top 2 drawers of my Helmer. All pencils sharpened ready to go (sounds like start of new term:rotfl:) Next job wash all the brushes. Daily stuff in make up bag, as I often put make up on in car while OH drives.

Fiasco and ValM
This is the link for the Elemis set for Sunday
Elemis 5 Piece Tranquil Indulgence Face & Body Collection.
http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.as...ms.item.200194 but if you just type the item number in on the website it doesn't show!!

I bought it last year and gave bath stuff as pressies, first 3 items are on my HG list. My cleanser will be a UU this week, and I am 2/3 through hand cream. I tried to order last night but couldn't and was just about to ring CS this morning and found I could order, so have done so.

As soon as it arrives I intend to do a spread sheet and mark up the ONLY items I will be allowed to buy for the rest of this year, I shall need much wagging of fingers from you girls if I look like weakening please:):):). Now off to *bay to delete things I have been watching.

:rotfl: I knew I could rely on you lovely ladies to point me in the right Elemis direction. The gift set does look fab. Not too sure about the bath product as I rarely take a bath- much prefer a shower. I true to the challenge I don't want items in my stash that I am not gonna use. IYSWIM? I will be watching a certain channel at the weekend to help me make up my mind .

2 INS today but were replacements for products so no guilt attached. Andrew collienge full blown body spray which was on offer at s-drug for £1.50. Last time I bought this is was £4.99.

Off to catch up on more pages.

Wow, they have that on sale early! This is brilliant value Fiasco if you are after the bath and body care as well as skincare. The cost of the kit is £10.00 less than the cost of the moisturiser on its own (ooh I could get a job at the Q!). I passed on it last time and will pass again because I don't like the cleanser and am drowning in bits and bots of Elemis bath and body care as it is (from previous kits). If you prefer a kit that has more bath/body care in it than that Debenhams are selling this kit which is dearer than the TSV but you still are only paying for the moisturiser and getting the other items for free.

That's a good plan maddiemay.



Your Ragdale hall stay sounds very exciting.

Has Mr KM ever tried the LE body wash for men. MrM uses it and it smells gorgeous. I like the original one but not the energising one.

Thanks for the linkey. The choice is so exciting :T

I know what you mean Fiasco. That's the reason I didn't buy the TSV kit last time. MrM was going to buy me the Best of British kit when we saw it and commented that I could sell the other bits on Ebay but I just don't want any more Elemis bath stuff adding to the stash. I will use everything in the kit he did buy though.

Have another UU - 1 pack of cotton pads. Have another on the go though. Always have 2 on the go so one can be left in the bathroom and the other taken with me wherever I decide to paint my nails. Repainted them last night and am wearing Leighton Denny Indulgence - classic red colour as I'm wearing a red top when I go out with work later tonight. Wasn't really intending to repaint them so soon but the Got a Date To Knight colour has gone thick so applied really unevenly and didn't look so good.

Have finally found out what cosmetic brand will be available on our cruise and it's Gilchrist and Soames. Anyone tried these products? Think I'll pack my own just in case.

Also, here's an example where being :money: didn't pay for me. I wanted to replace the Yankee Candle in my hall as the Chocolate Bunnies had burnt out. Went to the shop local to work and they had some candles on clearance. Picked up one called Autumn Lodge (large candle reduced to £10.00 so a bargain). Smelt it in the shop and thought it just smelt autumnal. Brought it home and lit it and straight away MrM commented that it smells of cigarette smoke! Looked it up on Amazon and it seems it was one of the manly fragrances that YC produced and is now discontinued - no surprise why it was on clearance then - and it described it as smelling like a smoking lounge! Great. Has anyone seen the 2x4 candle on their travels?
