No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in August!

tokkiandoliver

Sorry I haven't been around. Going to catch up to the thread today.

So I basically went on saturday to buy my polish that I have been wanting for so long, and I ended up buying two different colors. So I went home and felt so guilty that I returned it, as I promised myself I would just buy one. I call this progress. I feel so good that I returned the 2nd one and stuck to the goal of this month.

uu: liz earle foot scrub - thank you to my sunswap buddy for giving me this sample. It was fantastic! The scrub beads were so plentiful and abrasive and it really worked and afterwards it left rosemary oils and my feet feel so smooth! I absolutely love this stuff.

Liz earle skin colour in fair - thanks again to my sunswap buddy for this.

edit** forgot that I sent a friend a thank you package.
it consisted of about 10 nail polishes (forgot the names) and nivea lip balm, mac pigment, dior new look mascara sample.

A few freebie INs for me:
T&G Curl Defining Oil
T&G Heat Protection Mist
T&G Sea Salt texturising spray
T&G Sculpting powder
T&G Shine gloss serum

I'm doing the T&G trial for Bzzagent so have had to open these so I can report back. Used the texturising spray and sculpting powder last night but can't say it made any difference whatsoever to my hair. From the info I've got with the pack I think T&G presume everyone has forever and a day to do their hair and is a clubbing early-20s. I don't think it's aimed at a tired, harrassed and stressed Mummy who is thankful for simply getting to shower! :rotfl:

I got the breadstick Bzz too, have tried twice now to get the freebies to try but Tesco don't call them breadsticks it would seem so am not sure I even got the right thing and then the till wouldn't accept the voucher. I could never even find the pretzels.

Have an in but no money spent as I used Advantage Points - Revlon eye pencil in sueded brown - really lovely glide on pencil.

Also got a tub of Fullers Earth powder from the health food shop and am going to make my own clay mask with it tonight.

I have some Fullers Earth, bought to try and remove a grease mark from a suede skirt, I had not got around to looking up how to make a face mask, so will be very interested in your "recipe" and results, if you don't mind sharing.:D

they were at the instore bakery dept at 70p each,i thought they were very expensive and the breadsticks were very heavy,will not bother using 20p off coupons!
