No buying unecessray toiletries in July

Willowbee

Dolly - M&S look really exciting for beauty at the moment. Their new beauty halls look amazing (I don't think that there is one near me yet). I've just looked at their perfume online and there are some lovely things! (I'm not looking too carefully... :rotfl:)

Thank you for pointing out that there might not be much colour choice instore for the Revlon lipstick thingies I hadn't thought of that

The satsuma BS spray is the one that looks tempting to me

Unfortunately the ins were even greater due to the Ren offer and DH did help with some if the UU.

Dont remember if I confessed to the final UU of the month - face masks in my sunswap pack. Cant rememeber the make (was posh though - I was a very lucky and spoilt brat!!) WIB? Im not sure. possibly but its not really the kind of thing that I use as a regular thing...

speaking of regular things - my skincare routine is as much water/squash as i can manage, wash with Pears soap and a flannel (and if i feel the need to exfoliate I just scrub a bit harder!) and moisturise (though still searching for my HG moisturiser - so far my favourite is still Dear John from Benefit (though they dont make it any more!) Evening routine - Pears and flannel again....
Make-up wise, I dont really wear much - foundation brings me out in spots, Im rubbish with blusher and i tend to find that most make up doesnt last!! So tend to stick with mascara ( Yes they're REAL from benefit being the current HG) and thats about it. Lip balm is also a Benefit one - im a bit of a Benefit junkie now im older, when i go to get my make up done at the counter (for special occasions!) its the only stuff that looks good and stays on !!!

Ive missed a few questions I think - I drive an Astra, love it - its incredibly reliable (now watch her break down tomorrow!) though shes up to 96,000 miles now so it may well be time to move on... would love to go back to a Nissan Terrano (which has the advantage of being a fantastic towing vehicle as well) but my last one was quite expensive to run...

Fav food if I could only eat one thing forevermore?? Lemon Merangue Pie. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

see you next month ladies !!

Very well done with your UU's.

I googled this gluten free choux pastry and found quite a few results, I am going to investigate gluten free, as although not coeliac I think I do have a problem, especially if I consume too much:(

I have updated my signature to include my 14 IN's from REN, 10 of which were freebies. I failed in my no buy in July, but did only have 3 bad days, so all in all quite pleased.

If you are thinking of doing gluten free baking I recommend the doves farm gluten free plain ans self raising flours, available on the free from shelf of most supermarkets.

I'm very impressed with your list of UU Suidreams, I followed your example and made a target list in June and I'm still trying to UU some of the products :rotfl: I was a bit optimistic.

I had a good month, 3 Ins and 8 UU, and I avoided all magazine freebies and REN offers and all the other goodies that you ladies were tempting me with!

In a possibly risky move, I have covered my arms and legs in some elderly Avon fake tan to see if it has any colour left in it! I haven't bothered with fake tan for the last few years but would like to get rid of it. I'm just hoping that it's not so old that I get a rash or anything! If there's no colour I can throw it in the bin with a clear conscience!

See you all in August!

Finally as used up!

L'Oreal Skin Genisis Wipes. Did the job, nothing special. Only 25 to a pack so I'd probably stick to Boots bcause you get 30 for the same money.

What do I drive? A Focus to work six months of the year. During the winter (when I'm driving on ice pack) a Ford Escape. Need the clearance and the dog likes it.
