Options
Comments

have 3 more UU - vo5 volume shampoo 500ml - WDBA
really loved this, think it's great for the price.
Clairol conditioner that you get with hair dye - WDBA - makes my hair lovely and soft.
Lush soap - WNBA - really drying, and tbh I just don't like soap very much, much prefer gel hand washes and body washes

I have an IN (albeit free
) from Boots a body spray product to try. Smells quite nice
Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

I have only recently started my no buying toiletries mission... using stuff up is becoming a bit addictive/ obsessive! I imagine it will only get worse once I start a proper list going and noting everything down. The sheer pleasure of having less clutter is motivation alone![STRIKE]7lbs to lose [/STRIKE]
2lbs to lose! :j

one in today - an eyeshadow to trial for Boots.
Dont forget the swap page on facebook people - Im pretty sure the reason it got set up by the original ladies is because arranging to swap things on a thread is frowned apon by the powers that be...Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
Oh dear, it gets even worse.
I had the O2 Priority moments £10 off a £20 spend in Body Shop voucher. And my local body shop had japanese washcloths in stock. So i now have two washcloths and the following Ins:
Body shop sweet lemon shower gel travel size 60ml
Body shop vitamin e facial oil 15ml
The vitamin e oil is to supplement the cheap moisturisers I still have to use up, as my skin has become chronically dry. The shower gel was to top me up to £20 and because it's lovely.
I also have three Ins:
Garnier Moisture Match normal to dry skin sachet 1.5ml
Garnier Moisture Match dull skin sachet 1.5ml
Garnier Moisture Match normal skin 1.5

I really am going to stop buying toiletries now, there is nothing else i should need for the next three months and 100 day challenge commences tomorrow.0 -
Good luck with the 100 day challenge. At least you can still apply for freebies if you feel you are weakening at any point.
Should have a couple of UUs to report in next few days. One of them is an Estee Lauder freebie, will be sorry to see that go.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
2 more UU to report this morning
1 spa clay mask JM - wmba the new design is certainly a lot less messy and less drying very pampering.
1 bottle of bayliss and harding body lotion that was runny as hell wnba hated using this. Smell was nice although it didnt linger. Love it when another body lotion bites the dust!Consolidated and under control 42 payments to go.:cool::(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:(:o;):mad::p:([STRIKE]£7028.50[/STRIKE]£5990.43Aim: 35 and Debtfree0 -
Morning. Hope everyone is getting some sun today.
I have a couple of uu
L'Oreal gentle eye makeup remover - this is the last one of an original eight bottles which were bought on various offers. I WBA as it is a lovely product, very gentle and cooling and it does a good job as long as I don't use Urban Decay primer potion or the Too Faced primer as it just can't get that off. It is about £2 in Bodycare which is around the offer price in Boots etc so no need to wait for an offer if i want to rebuy. I have replaced it with a Garnier 2 in 1 make up remover.
S&G Scrub of your life - I quite liked this but found it had too much gel type product and not enough scrub, I WNBA as I am trying to use up all my scrubs and then use a body brush and scrubby gloves. For now i have replaced it with another tube of the same.
I have been trying out the E45 Nourish & Restore body lotion on the Bzz trial and it is so lovely, will be looking into that when I need some body lotion.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

UU
200ml TBS Satsuma Body Butter - WBA one of my favourites but no need to rebuy just yet.No more buying toiletries0 -
Another UU - 3 in 1 facial cleansing wipes - WBA as they're a useful staple, and they're cheap if you aren't brand specific. I have a cleansing scrub, toner and make-up remover to work my way through first though...0
