Afternoon all!!
Oh god I laughed so much, especially when you said about lipstick on your teeth being really attractive!
I'm going to do my make-up later using your video as instructions, then post a photo on here, what do you think?
I think you should go for it
I've nearly used up my Mango Body Scrub from The Body Shop, I like the smell but it made the shower all slippy when I rinsed it off. Will carry on looking for a better body scrub.Savings £8,865.22 £/15,000 Aiming to save enough for a house deposit.0 -
Had a nice pamper bath and UU the other half of Rose Jam bubbleroon. First time I've had this and it smells so nice, WBA for sure.Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -

Speaking of the Avene, apparently they've changed the formula yet again! So when this one runs out I might just go for the La Roche Posay version.
Lurker popping in to ask, which cleanser are you referring to please??? I always have a bottle of the Extremely Gentle stuff in for when my skin has a wappy as this is all I can tolerate. Where would I find info about any changes? Thanks x0 -
UU nice n easy colour glossing conditioner one more left to use up!0

UUs from yesterday/today...
The Body Shop Body Butter Duo Sweet Pea 200ml - WNBA, unfortunately I have another one in the stash though! The very dry skin side is excellent but the dry skin side takes AGES to rub in, lovely scent though. If they did a version of just the very dry type I'd buy it again definitely!
L'Oreal Hair expertise conditioner 250ml - WDBA, I LOVE the rosemary and mint scent and it's an excellent conditioner, but I have tonnes to use before I can think of buying any more!
Also have a splutterer in the form of the Sanctuary foot balm, tomorrow night should see the end of that!No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2023

Another UU
Dr Organic Manuka Honey Skin Lotion 200ml WNBA rubbed in easily and moisturised well, but found the scent too sickly sweet.
Will probably have to buy more body lotion next week only have a couple of small ones left in the stash.
Used face mask today (another item I have too many of) and washed makeup brushes. Looking forward to getting hair cut and coloured next weekend, my grey roots are showing through, can't wait to get rid of them.0 -
UU
Balnatur Regenerating Oxygenating Cream Sachet - WBA, really nice refreshing cream....weirdly smells of blue WKD lol

Hi All :wave:
Just got back today from a week away at my sister's. Came home to a shiny new boiler but an awful lot of dust :eek: All hoovered and mopped now and toasty at last :j
I've been very neglectful of both challenge (no hot water playing a major part) and thread lately but the upside is although the UU haven't been many I've not had any IN either so here's to that! I've just quickly skimmed through the ten or so pages I was behind and I'm really sorry to hear that some of us have had some sad news and lost some dear friends - the pink candle philosophy in sharp relief.
I saw an engagement and birthday in there too so congratulations on those :beer:
I've a couple of UU which are:
No. 7 Beautiful Skin wipes - did the job and not as scratchy as I remember the first pack I tried after the repackaging were. WBA but only with a voucher/in a set etc - there are much cheaper alternatives which I find just as good like Wilko's own
L'Oreal Preference conditioner - the one that comes with hair colourant - didn't actually finish this but left it at my sister's accidentally, won't be driving 60 miles to go fetch it :rotfl: WBA
Didn't use much in the last week as my sister is like me pre-challenge, i.e. cupboards, baskets, drawers etc absolutely overflowing so seemed silly to take own shampoo, shower gel etc
For those who were interested in one, Argos have a good deal on the Micro Pedi at the moment, £27 odd on offer - got some replacement rollers from there after surprisingly a large branch of Boots I went into didn't stock it at all - worked out better as these are also on offer in Argos.
I'm too tired now and also full of cold but I will most definitely be having several baths this week just because I can with my now piping hot water
Work tomorrow I am not looking forward to but will just take it as it comes - OH is reading a book at the moment which recommends you live for the moment, take time to take in the small pleasures and not worry about what may or may not be about to happen - sound advice0 -
uu for weekend
simple make up remover -wba i like this range
lush ponche? shower gel . was okay but not my favourite shower gel from lush :P£365 a year spend challenge - this has included food/clothes/beauty?? who knows where I am
20,000 step a day challenge0 -
Todays UU.
2 Radox shower gel (green) - One from DH travel bag/one from the house. WBA is cheap and smells fresh.
1 toothbrush - replaced the one in DH travel bag.
Olay total effects eye cream WNBA I was never convinced by eye cream until I trialled one for BB - I decided to use this up before going back to the one I trialed.
Have painted my toes with Zoya storm which unfortunately is disappointing.
And now the ins (she shouts from the naughty step where ive been all month - cant wait for March to hopefully show some restraint!)
Boots order arrived -
12 packs of baby wipes (12 was the offer but these get used for all sorts from wiping hands to wiping shoes)
4 Sure maximum strength deo HG so was restocking
6 items from the La Roche Posay range - have been wanting to try this for some time and took advantage of the 2 for £15 offer.
And more ins from todays planned restock.
3 DD toothpaste - was out so this was needed
2 mouthwash - one for DH and one for DD again none in stash so required.
2 cotton wool pads - none in stash so required
4 packs of Tampons - was on special offer so required
1 bourjois lipstick - not required - in the shop it looked similar to my favourite discontinued NO7 one but when I tried it on its too dark.
1 tube of metanium cream for my DD
2 packs of Kleenex cotton pads (I wouldnt pay full price for these but at 69p each pack they were cheaper than my cotton wool which I hate the feel of)
1 L'oreal everpure shampoo - this one is for my friend who wants to try a sulphate free shampoo.
1 garnier make up remover - not required just yet but was on special offer.
6 toothbrushes - stocked up whilst in the discount shop
2 Colgate Toothpaste - was on clearance in Superdrug
And on a positive note 27 outs from ebay salesNo more buying toiletries0
