No Buying Unnecessary toiletries in November

I appear to be on a roll, but I think things are about to be brought to a screeching halt!
Vichy Lift Active Serum 10 1.5ml sample
Clarins Skin Illusion foundation sample 1.5ml
Body shop sweet lemon whip body lotion
Simple eye makeup remover 125ml
The two samples weren't great, the serum felt very sticky and the foundation was far too dark and I had to wipe it off straight away.
The BS Lemon whip body lotion was lovely - light, sank in quickly and I loved the smell. WIBA? Yes, but not in the mini bottle version, I had to saw the bottle open with a bread knife to get an extra two days out of it.
Simple eye make up remover was really good, got my eye makeup off quickly, still prefer a hot cloth cleanser though.0 -
UU:
Lush comforter bubble bar - after 2 months, finally finished it. I love this blackberry scented bubble bar. wba
Lush rocket reusable bubble bar - i loved the violet in this. wba.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Challenge

Got my selfridges lucky bag and i was quite pleased with it - got a couple of things i needed to get anyway and one of the things i got was worth the price of the bag anyway. I got a vitamin supplement for healthy hair which i'm interested to try.0

mmmmm not sure what to do - which probably means I shouldn't buy another one :rotfl:
I've never used one so I don't know how effective they are, but if you have loads of the pads to use I'd say go for it...0 -
Oh dear... gave into a L'Occitane offer, bought an eye cream and mask to get a free gift bag and another half price one. But I think I'll give the gift bags away for Christmas.
UU
- a travel size Body Shop vitamin E cream. WNBA, I prefer to spend a bit more on face products.
- Travel size Elnet hairspray - WBA it's better than much more expensive ones, no reason to spend more.0 -
2 INS. I bought 2 x tubes of Maybelline BB cream for myself and Emma on the buy one get one half price offer. Am happier for her to use this than foundation as she's started getting spots which she's putting down to wearing foundation but I keep telling her off for not washing the foundation off! Of course, I'm wrong!
Have a good day everyone. xBack for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

I was a bit disappointed with mine: got a nail themed one - mini nail files, hand cream, nail whitening tablets, some cheap looking glitters and a mini nails inc polish that's gone all gloopy...
