No buying unnecessary toiletries in October

asset2004

What a glorious weekend, nice to see the sun shining for a change! :j
I was in Boots this weekend to pick up some arnica for my BF who came off his bike,:eek: yikes he has made a right mess of himself.
He came with me so I couldn't get a chance to look at all the Christmas gifts but I did get a gift guide so going to look at that tonight.

Back to work tomorrow, not looking forward to it

Hi everyone

Just booked a long weekend away at the end of the month which I can't really afford so want to be mega good on the toiletries front and not buy any more this month.

Some Ins to declare first:

John Frieda Go blonder shampoo and conditioner, not used before, so will see if it works.
I bought Instyle to get Cha Cha tint cheek stain.
My sister gave me some Alverde avocado hair repair fluid from Germany.

UU a couple of sample sachets of Liz Earle skin tint and l'occitane moisturiser and also my Eau Thermale Avene moisturiser which I love as it really soothes my eczema prone skin, however I will have to be good and use up other moisturisers before I buy more.

TA's
Didn't throw out the Batiste Nude puffer pack of dry shampoo as I can use it to clean the fleece linings of my furry clogs.

Did TA the Hot Tin Roof dry shampoo, (WIBA? No) also a Pantene Pro V Nature Fusion Moisture Balance leave in conditioner that was carp, for my hair anyway. It left it looking clumpy and feeling slightly sticky. Didn't feel I could pass it on to anyone else. WIBA? No.

Whilst hunting for TA's I found three empty bottles in my son's storage baskets, along with several items of mine I'd completely forgotten about.

More toiletries Christmas presents from me to DD, DGD & DGS this year - some good offers in the Avon catalogue. Temptation, get thee behind me... Temptation is Cranberry and Cinnamon shower gel.. 400 ml and part of a 4 for £5 offer. I love cinnamon and I love cranberry, love all Christmassy smells. I can always buy it, sniff it and give it away, I suppose.

Hello,

Couple of things to report -

UU
Freeze 24/7 ice crystals - WNBA - I didn't like the film it felt like it left on my face. Also the cost is stupid I got mine for £15 from ebay sealed - Debenhams £35!
Superdrug sachets peel off face mask x2 - WIBA - Yes love em for a quick pick up and they peel off really well. 99p a sachet or 3 for 2 when on offer
Avon hair mask almond and something (something is avacado) HG
Avon Conditioner frizzy hair - WIBA - no not as good as Aussie or avon naturals and I don't have frizzy hair!

In's
Elvive restorative conditinor - hate it already! New conditinor coming on!

Have a good day everyone :j

I know we have the facebook page but I'm not allowed to go on it at home so can't list some things I'd like to swap.

It's only a couple of things so if it's ok I'll put them here and if anyone is interested they can pm me.

Apologies in advance if I'm offending anyone here.

Avon Aromatherapy Revitalise Therapy Body Lotion

ins a pack of Avon serum to test for 28 days...must have signed up for this but had forgotten all about it:rotfl:five tubes of the stuff!

Does anyone know of any websites where I could possibly sell some of my Avon stuff? I've accumulated quite a bit from when I was a rep and some of it I know, looking back now, I bought just because I could, but probably realistically wouldn't use it.

I'm sure there was a website mentioned here, possibly in one of the earlier threads, but can't remember the name.

Fiasco - I meant to say that I'm amazed & impressed by your no buy record! :T Is this your third month?

Thanks, it is my third month Willowbee. I am now finding it a bit easier as temptation isn't as strong now. I have been doing quite well for some time on the challenge but it feels like it the final click in my head has happened. There will always be another offer....

I UU a tub of TBS Hemp foot cream over the weekend. This is my HG foot product for my awful feet and the only thing that stops them cracking over the summer when I live in flip flops. I have decided, however, to be :money:and continue my no spend month. I have quite a few large tubs of TBS body butters in my stash that I hope can be repurposed to do the job now summer has gone as I'm pretty sure these are multiplying like gremlins after dark!
