No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2013

maddiemay

1 more UU for January - Gatineau Aquamemory Moisturiser. WNBA, it really plumps up my skin, but I seem to have reacted to one or more ingredients and ended up with sore, red blotchy patches, not a good look.

I'm not sure what is wrong with me - I'm so tempted to buy this Burts Bees grab bag and I really don't need it or particularly want it, but there is something about a bargain that so makes me want to buy it! I bought 2 when they were around in the Spring and I am still using all the stuff and am horribly bored of the shower gel - even though I have 4 more bottles of the stuff! But yet I have still gone on to the website and put it in my basket!

Must ..... Walk ..... Away :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I HAVE always wanted to try BB but. I am sooooooo failing at the unnecessary challenge this month!

I managed to resist! You'll have to let me know what you get so I can be jealous!

Val If you google Benefit Lemon Aid there are quite a lot of reputable sellers showing stock of it. All at full price though. Boots do a free collect from store if you spend £20, it would mean adding some shampoo, deo or something costing £3.50. I bought one from *bay a few months ago from someone who only sold a few items and had 100% feedback, as at that timee there didn't seem to be any available anywhere else. It looks genuine. I have just got through to the pan on mine, no shelf life stated that I can see, might have to get a back up when I start the next one

Thanks maddiemay. I think I'll not take the chance with ebay and go into Boots at weekend to get one instead. How can you get through a pan full in a few months?? Mine lasts about a year!

Well it all started with my childhood :rotfl:

I adopted a bunny rabbit at the weekend. I am like a new parent and am completely obsessed with my beautiful little bunny. So far there's been the indoor hutch, the food, hay, sawdust, the indoor play pen, the toys.... oh dear!! :T

Oh how lovely, I would like a house rabbit, but we go away a lot and OH will not let me have one (no-one close enough to look after one, anyway I do have a lovely dog, who would probably want to eat it!

Make sure the hutch door has a good fastener, a friend had one who ate through cables and chewed the woodwork:rotfl:

Your new bunny sounds cute roguey. I'd echo what Maddiemay says. MrM doesn't like our rabbits coming indoors anymore as one of them chewed through the cable to the surround sound! We used to have a rabbit that liked peeling wallpaper off walls as well.

I'm saving my Boots points up so I can get some Benefit Lemon Aid as peopl here make it sound great. Only need about 50p more in points I think...

Rosemary, very jel that you were in Chester, lived there for a few years in the early 2000s and loved it. Shopping there is ace, I miss it. Glad things are looking up for you.

You should definitely invest in the Lemon Aid. I can't leave the house without it.

I too love Chester. Was writing to a firm yesterday who are based at Cheshire Oaks and was thinking what a great place to work. You could guess where I'd be every lunch hour.

Yes Tater walk away. I know what you mean though I used to feel like that from reading the Grabbit Thread. You should save your cash to buy products you do enjoy using.

Whoops. I love their lip shimmers though. x

Nearly forgot. I have another UU: 200ml tube of Holland & Barrett Aloe Vera Gel. I remember buying 2 x tubes of this about 7 years ago and have now only just finished one of the tubes. It's one of those products that you use medicinally though isn't it? This tube had been cut open a couple of months ago though so I used it as body lotion this morning and have the other tube on my desk at work to help my hands which are a lot better now. WBA I suppose when we need it.

Didn't phrase that very well! When I read rumours that it was not going to be available in the UK and no-one seemed to have any in stock, I had a little panic and bought one from *bay. I have just hit the pan on the original and have the new one in stock.:)
