No buying unecessray toiletries in July

I drive a Citroen C3 Picasso, which is very practical and a diesel so fairly economical. My dream car has always been a VW Beetle the original one, they have such character or a Land Rover Defender in gun metal grey but regardless of how much money I had it would have to be good on fuel as I just couldn't waste something so precious.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I drive a 2012 kia picanto. i bought it in April when my old punto died and I figured I needed a more reliable car for my PGCE so I invested.
Everyone asks me if my Dad got it for me though and each time I die a little inside. it's brilliant if you Dad will buy you a car, but I got mine through saving.
Incidentally, it's the EXACT same colour as Nails inc. Bluebell that came out in a magazine a couple of months ago.0 -

re car,mine is a 1998 purple volvo estate,great in a car park as not many purple cars around:rotfl:has no name tho,was DHs company car so no choice of colour,I bought it when he had to change(sadly to VW due to tax emissions thing)I love it and have no plans to change(last car aslo a volvo and only changed that after 18 years to get current one)
Think i may have been one of the last to get it before it went OOS. Missed the delivery on Friday so i got it today. I assume you mean the Body shop stuff - if you mean the Benefit thing i was just lucky enough to be on fb when it came up0 -

I have a GA this was a freebie from the Glamour may giveaway, its going to one of my nieces for a little extra for her birthday as its her favourite face mask.
GA Montagne Jeunesse Very Berry face mask 15g
Fingers crossed for some UU before the end of the month.0 -
Hello ladies,
Struggling to properly keep up-to-date with the thread at the moment as everything is just very hectic but have been soldiering on with the challenge, although haven't done brilliantly this month it must be said! Although I do still have marginally more UU than IN so that will have to do
I hope everyone is well.
I have missed out on all the questions but I'll answer the ones I can remember off the top of my head. Job - public sector worker, won't be any more specific than that, £100 I would take OH out for a slap up meal as he often treats me
My car is a zippy little black Corsa, I only passed my test at the beginning of the year and its perfect for me to tootle about in - OH is v jealous of its economic fuel consumption :rotfl: Holiday destination I think was another - New York is most definitely on the top of my 'to do' list. I think there's a few missing but that's as many as I can remember after speed reading through the last however many pages.
Ok, so I'll weigh in what's probably my last UU and IN (better had be) of the month:
UU:
Nivea Daily Essential face wipes - these are my 'go to' wipes as nice texture, do the job and a good price in HB
McAdam Brunette Conditioner - made my hair flyaway and totally out of control - GA as not going through the pain of using up something that gave me bad woes!
L'Oreal Revitalift BB Cream sachet - Might BA, it was fine, no complaints but nothing standout
REN Glycolate Radiance Renewal Mask - was only the 5ml sample so can't really comment after one use other than it left my skin feeling soft, didn't irritate it and kind of reminded me of marmalade! :rotfl:
Lush Tisty Tosty - WNBA - Looks pretty but very much style over substance - nowhere near as nice as some of the other bath ballistics, no discernible scent in the tub, didn't feel moisturising at all - ended up also adding some bath soak.
Garnier Ultralift Day 14 Day Challenge sachets - I really enjoyed using these - nice scent and texture, my skin seemed to drink it in - WBA (and already have done- in my defence I was going to wait until August but I saw a good deal in Morrisons tonight (£6) and had also had a reaction to the only full size moisturiser I've got left....)
Which bring me onto my last out which is a GA - Neal's Yard Rehydrating Rose Moisturiser - So glad this was a magazine freebie and I didn't fork out £12 for it as I find it very runny, not terrible moisturising, despite loving roses I hate the smell and to top it off I get a reaction to it which is surprising considering how natural it seems. In some respects I was pleased by the reaction as it meant I didn't have to persevere and UU!! :T0 -
Forgot to declare my in Moa The Green Balm 50ml really need this little pot nearly UU. Got a tub for my niece as well.0

the colours they named are all in the illamasqua sale atm. i wouldn't be surprised if its just a box of sale items they cant shift and figured that they'd put a set together and in effect chuck in an extra product to make the value seem good compared to full size. its not a good deal if we don't know what the shades are, we could end up with all the crazy colours that we just couldn't/wouldn't wear!
I've got a 207 called Polly. chavs broke into her the other week because my mum left the door open :mad: they stole a half eaten bag of minstrels, DH's used £10 boots electric shaver that was full of hair and my £200 prescription ray bans with a prescription thats so bad i need to wear glasses all the time so they def won't be able to see out of them and they were shaped to fit my head by my opticians. funny really. i hope one of them is out there trying to wear them with a headache and falling over everywhere :rotfl: sad thing is they prob just got binned the sec they twigged they were prescription lenses.
dream car atm is an RCZ. flashy, yet not too flashy. plus id just trash a really posh car lol0 -
