No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in April

rogueylawyer

I had a little red card from royal mail today, so declaring two non-bought Ins:

Eucerin Even Brighter day cream Moisturiser 20
Eucerin even brighter night cream Moisturiser 20

These are free samples from Eucerin, 20ml each. The full size is 50ml and costs £22.50-£23.50 for 50ml, so I have a good £20 worth of free products there.

rogue my mum swears by that stuff! It used to be a fairly cheap, easy to obtain product, but she hasn't been able to find for years! Where do you buy yours?

I bought mine from Feel Unique - they often do discounts and free shipping so you can get it below price. Otherwise it's available as space nk boutiques and on their website.

Rogueylawyer - thank you for the kind words, I agree, the Emma Hardie Balm is fantastic. I will try and do a side by side comparison against the one I got from e-bay soon (it is very good).

I'd be very interested to see that! I've been thinking of putting some products together myself; recently saw someone who sold a body butter/balm that was entirely organic and relatively simple to put together. he was selling £10-£15 for a small jar, and I'm pretty sure I could put together a dozen jars for that price...

I did it ladies ---- I went a whole month without buying anything!

Total shock, I've had to have a little sit down as just the though was sending me lightheaded!!

Also have 3 UU,
Aveda Madder Root conditioner - WBA HG for me
Elemis melting gel cleanser - ??WBA, didn't do an awful lot for me
And, sonething else - can't for the life of me remember what!

Hello again ladies! :wave:

Well, I stayed at a hotel last night (work purposes) and came away with some lovely Aromatherapy Associates trial sized shampoo, conditioner, body lotion shower gel and soap. (I've used about half of the shower gel and it is ace. I'll use the rest up in due course, but I'll keep it for my next trips!)

UU S&G body butter WBA - I have put this as a UU for April even though I finished it this morning.

emsjune78

Bit late I know but weighing in my UU/IN for April... its not the most impressive result! 11 UU/TA/GA and 21 IN (in my defence 13 of those were NBI from swaps) - things are definitely getting more difficult as the stash generally gets smaller and most items are full sized and unopened. I will soldier on!!

One final UU for April that I forgot to list: Mitchum deoderant stick. WBA and see you all in May!

ASDA yesterday:-
Nspa version of C&P - bought this for Emma as she is now complaining that the cleanser from Ebay is making her break out.
Nspa Beauty Balm - I tried this yesterday and my first impression was that it was too dark but once I put my Balance N Brighten on top looked really good. Will try it with a smaller quantity when I wear it again later. Not really an unnecessary as I'm down to the pan on my Balance N Brighten and am not getting much coverage form it at the moment.

These products were also on offer 2 for £8.00 and they were both £7.00 each.

Hi ladies. Catching up with you all again. I've been v naughty lately again with this offer at ASDA. To begin with Emma didn't want to use the Nspa C&P as it is marketed as an exfoliator. So I went back to ASDA and bought the foaming cleanser for her and picked up a pot of night cream. My LE Skin Repair is spluttering and although I do have some small tubes of Elemis night cream in the stash decided it was a lesser evil to buy the night cream.

Had I known that Emma would then pinch the BB cream I had got for myself I would have bought a replacement of these at the time. I then ended up revisiting ASDA to pick up two more tubes of the BB cream to take advantage of the offer again. Must say am loving the BB cream. It gives lovely coverage though I wish they didn't do one shade fits all as I have to play it down with Balance N Brighten on top still.

Steering well away from the Q today and have looked at the LiB You box but have decided that I don't need anything so am not going to bother. A LBM .

I think I am well and truly cured of my QVC addiction as I had to look the channel number up on the TV guide the other day! lol

VALM - Well done to Emma on her epic Karate challenge.

Thank you dolly. She raised just over £100.00 and they had a really good turn out on the day. Hopefully they will have raised enough to buy the new equipment that they want.

A needed IN:
Korres Almond & Linseed Shampoo - a random purchase at the Supermarket, I hope it works on my hair which is acting all crazy & dry at the moment!

Oo, which supermarket sells Korres? I've tried a couple of their products and really liked them.

Ps - 24 hours of karate?? Blimey!!!!!!!

Yes, they have one of these sessions every year. Some of the sponsorship goes towards buying equipment for the club and part towards sponsoring candidates for the World Championships. We have a team of 5 kids who are going to the WKC this year.

P.S. Painted my nails on Monday with A-England King Arthur, a very dark grey metallic.

Am glad you are still getting on the ebay cleanser maddiemay.

I was in John Lewis yesterday replacing my LE IBST and saw the new OPI Oz glitter top coats and am in love with a couple. Am going to treat myself to them from the Q.
