No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in August!

Itzybitzy

I literally only will need to buy nail varnish remover in the next month! And im quite good at using up the smaller sample sizes quite quickly. Things like body lotion go quite quickly with me as well as i have a lot of body to cover ,p. Although im due three more birthday boxes (sigh) and im keeping Amarya on as i get months free at the end for signing people up and im getting one last Glossybox with my glossydots next month then i am cooling it for a bit! It's not so much the products i can't find space for...its the bloody boxes lol. Im hoping starting third year next month and being on placement from the word go will stop me from spending........hopefully lol!

Maybe the boxes will be useful at Christmas? I've found them quite useful - I used four to split my nail varnish into colour groups. You can divide up this haul into categories and box them up! :rotfl:

You do get through samples quickly - you're much better at that than me! :rotfl: Do you have very tolerant skin? My face reacts too much for me to be able to chop and change quickly (My skin is being a pain again at the moment and I can't understand why ).

I'd like to know what you think of the Evolve body lotion when you get round to using it. They look like a v interesting brand

I have the Pixi wake up palette and you've inspired me to dig mine out :rotfl:I'm trying to sort through my eyeshadows but it's much trickier than my nail varnishes :eek:

I really hope that you find some gems amongst your bargain box and I'm sure that you'll enjoy using it all up Thanks for taking the time to list it all (!) It's really interesting (That's it. I'm officially a toiletries geek...)

Oh! I meant to add that I think it was genuinely good value. Much better value than the equivalent three Glossyboxes *claps*

Hi All, have come home from my second holiday today and am officially shattered and very glad to not be going anywhere else for a while. Unfortunately I have been very naughty whilst away and have lots of ins to report, I knew it would be bad and it is:

Rouge caresse lipstick x 2, really wanted to try these and couldn't decide which colour so got both then I was entitled to a free gift of lip gloss, 2 nail polishes and a liquid eyeliner.

Pure Grace EDT and free gift of purity face cleanser, amazing grace bath and shower gel, tube of Hope in a Jar, 2 x mini amazing grace edt samples and loads of other freebie samples, all in a little black case, the SA was very nice and generous with them unlike some.

Maybelline nail polish in a raspberry colour - have forgotton name at the moment.

L'occitane - 4 x 30ml hand creams, these were mainly for DD to use on her eczema, 2 x shea and 2 x something else but they both had a high shea content which is why I got them.
L'occitane - Rose body cream, this was a till offer of £4.80 for a big tub, I think this offer is available online too.
L'occitane - Verbena shower gel, another shea handcream and another item which I have forgotton in a lovely printed case. Also a freebie Pivoine EDT given by the SA

Last but by NO MEANS least was a bag of Molten Brown 50ml bottles, 20 in total, yes I said 20 OMG:eek:, consisting of shower gels, including 2 of the eucalyptus one which I really like, coco de mer body lotion and 2 x shampoo and 2 x conditioner. Also a freebie Coco de mer body lotion given by the SA.

Wow, I actually feel embarrassed and will sit quietly on the naughty step.

I have much better skin than i used to have. Much more tolerant to fragrance now! Still get awful spots on my forehead and chin but something tells me if i left them alone, they would go away lol

I use the boxes for storage but it's getting a bit silly now lol! Also, my nail varnish is on it's own little stand in my bedroom where i can see it all

Was hoping there would be a quicker way, but will do it this way.

a few giveaways to report-fergie outspoken perfume,bodylotion and spray-didnt like this on and a friend of mine loves it so i gave it to her
374-vaseline body lotion-started to smell funny and was really watery so chucked it
375-nspa vanilla shower stuffs-500ml. love love love this it smells divine but sadly do not need any bodywash for a long time(saying that asda have a 2 for £4 on nspa stuff) moving on to an original source bodywash.
not sure what the next useups/throw aways might be. have started using the bodyshop rainforest hair mask but dont really like it as much as trevor sorbie/andrew collinge so might just bin it.only got 25 items to go to get to my target for a year!! i know it seems like a lot but its barely even noticable in my collection cause i have so much

Hope everyone has survived the heat hehe

I am sending off another 8 nail polishes to a girlfriend, and just sold 2 more items off of ebay. I'm doing my best to not purchase beauty products and clearing the stash that I do have. It's definitely been a weird time for me as I just quit smoking and I'm feeling all sorts of ungrounded, but I know in the long run that this is for the best. I decided to put in £1 into a pot for every time I would have purchased a pack of cigarettes (so roughly £3 a week) and then at the end of the year, I'm going to splurge on something ridiculous hehehe

collected my order from Boots with the items I already 'confessed' to ordering - mini Marc Jacobs Daisy, Olay wipes and blue mascara. Also parcel arrived from Debenhams with make up in - not looked at it yet. I bought 400ml Asda Aloe Vera after sun gel - I blame you lot for that, as aloe vera was recommended and I am going to Rhodes on Saturday.

Feeling sorry for myself at the moment and badly in need of a holiday. I had major work done on my bathroom and kitchen - very expensive and very stressful and ended up with me having a massive falling out with the builder (very long story!) The main reason I had the work done was because I had damp and needed it to be remedied and the damage repaired. I have a virtually new bathroom plus 2 new kitchen cupboards and doors. I also spent £450 on floor tiles and extra on wall tiles. I must have paid out over 2 grand easily, including labour.

Now the damp is back and someone has looked and quoted £1180 to remedy it :eek: Also, 625 euros should have been delivered today and have gone missing - I must have been very bad in a former life :mad:

Ojon Hair Serum, 25ml - WNBA.......still not as good as the Argan Oil!
Phytoceutical Revitalising Cream, 5ml - WNBA, not easy to get an impression from a 5ml sample of body cream lol. Put it on my shoulders as they are achy from doing weights this afternoon.
Anne Semonin Masque Gommage, 10g - WMBA..nice scrubby face mask My face feels really clean.

just opened the Debenham's parcel and it looks like the make up was despatched separately and was only sent out today.

I now have 2 swimsuits - one from Debenhams and another much cheaper one from the M and S sales. I wouldn't even consider wearing one/swimming if it wasn't for the fact that I'm going somewhere so hot - I don't think Rhodes is ready for my giant white body :eek:

I haven't tried on hardly any of the clothes I have bought for this holiday so I need to do that and lots of other things before Saturday - I think I'll need to have another holiday to get over preparing for this holiday!
