No buying unecessray toiletries in July

Tiny Non Bought IN The Maybelline BB Light Samples 3 x 1ml.
As someone who never (and I mean never) uses foundation, I am intrigued as to how I'll get on with this. I do now have a couple of little blemishes on my skin now from being blemish-free for 30 years, so we shall see what they do.

Well done Lily! My friends live in HA accommodation and have had real fun choosing their new kitchen, which is going in this week, I believe.
Welcome Pippin & Caterina. I've never posted a full stash list as my products are phenomenally boring.

Opened the Avon Planet Spa Chocolate Truffle Body Souffle.
First impressions:- Much nearer a light body butter in texture than a souffle like FCUK's, for example. A very pale milk chocolate that looks gold when applied, has a lot of light reflecting qualities. Chocolate scent isn't overwhelming, thankfully.

I took a chance on this as I bought the OS Shower cream in chocolate mint last year and realised I didn't really like smelling of choccy mints... It was the word souffle that appealed, plus the price.

morning all,well i got through the weekend without sheding a single tear(first one in a month or more!) tho it was a bit like walking on eggshells at times:rotfl:we did go dancing in the end which I enjoyed as usual being held in a romantic hold for a tango caused a few of the oldies to give us a few looks:rotfl:only annoying thing was this old man who just at the end of the night(10.30) came to tell us his life story(again) and we only managed to escape when the bar maid took pity on us and called him over at 11.20:eek::eek::eek::eek:...ok for him as no work today.DH had said he didn't want to go at first as had a busy week so I was quite annoyed but he seemed not to mind!!!

Occitane order just arrived:)I love the way they pack things in such pretty boxes.so ins are as follows(sorry I needed the reatil therapy!)

creeme radieuse hydration cream(as in the LIB box...expensive but got a free cleaner in a nice pump bottle worth £16)
1 bath ball down from £4:eek:far too much to £1
a sample cream mask and after shave(for DH)
a make up bag( theirs are so pretty) with bonne mere soap(I know I don't need anymore soap!)a lavender body lotion,rose hand cream,shea butter shower gel,and an eye balm(half price for the bag and contents at £12.50 so "saved" a total of £28.50 and free post.
am I alone in getting so much pleasure out of buying the stuff??!!!!

btw it is now raining (again:()

Glad the retail therapy is bringing a smile to your face:D

Thankyou for the lovely welcome ladies! I must admit i was initially reluctant to inventory my stash, but I'm really glad I've done it now. It definitely makes it more real - the sheer amount of stuff (especially hair products) is staggering. Different strokes for different folks though - what works for one may not work for another.

I've got the month off to a flying start. 6 outs to report:

Pantene repair and protect intensive treatment - TA, WNBA it just doesn't condition your hair - useless stuff.

Pantene enhanced layers whipped wax x2 - TA, it was so old it had just turned into a sticky mess. WNBA because I don't think they make it anymore!

Original Source Lavender and Tea Tree bath foam - GA to a friend who loves lavender. The second bottle is sputtering. WNBA - it was ok but not outstanding.

Tresemme Naturals hair conditioner - GA to a friend who likes Tresemme. WNBA - just not intensive enough for my hair (which is quite dry).

UU - Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste and one tube sputtering. WBA when I get through the other three I already have in my stash!

GA:

TBS coco butter body scrub
TBS coco butter body wash

Wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry as I'm sure other people have long lists and can fit them on one post

Obviously I have more than everyone else

I have just typed up my stash list after 18 months doing the challenge and its 4 pages of a Word document :eek::eek: I'm not sure mine will fit onto one post either! It took me an hour to type up as well (it was already written in a notebook when I counted up my stash)

I had to put my stash down in black and white at last because I have still been buying things that I obviously have a stash of. I have put them all in bold at the bottom of the lists to give me a sharp kick up the backside :rotfl:

It doesn't look too bad to me! :rotfl: You have lots of nice things to use up

Some random replies...

Welcome, Pippin :wave: I didn't mean to miss you out of my hellos earlier. I'm not feeling too smart today :rotfl: You're off to a flying start :T

Seasidedreamer - I hope that your first day at work was good

Evilsquid - I was sooo tempted by the Illamasqua sale. I wanted to buy foundation or powder to try but I decided that I need to test things like that in person first I hope that you enjoy whatever you chose :j (well done for your weight loss :T)

Dolly84 and MadScientist - very good luck with not buying this month :A I'm considering doing the same but I do want the Balance Me and REN freebies...I need to give this a bit more thought! :rotfl:

Bunnykins - I'd be really interested to hear how you get on with your Clarisonic (how exciting to have one )

Catriona - VERY GOOD LUCK for your exam tomorrow
