No Buying Unneccecary Toiletries in May 2013

LauraIOM

I have lots of ins in my defence they were all ordered before I joined the challenge. So, in:

2x Elemis face wipes
GWP: Pro-Collagen Cleansing balm 20g
Skin Nourishing Milk Bath 60ml
Skin Nourishing Shower Cream 100ml
Pro-radiance illuminating flash balm 15ml
Soothing Apricot Toner 50ml (and a cleansing cloth)

12x 10ml l'occitane hand creams (really not needed but cute, oops)

LIB Box: Balance Me Wrinkle Repair Cream 10ml
Dr Organic coconut oil moisture melt
Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream 15 ml
Elie Saab 1ml
Essential Care Mascara
Melvita Rose Nectar 28ml
Nails Inc Notting Hill Gate 2ml
Weleda Wild Rose body lotion 20ml

And a steamcream and dry shampoo that fell into my basket when buying the box.

So 29 ins :eek: actually 23, the hand creams are in 2 nice boxes of 6 so I will put a box in my pressie cupboard. I don't count the stash in there but if I pinch things out I'll add them

Heads straight over to Debenhams website without further ado!

Plumped for HQ Hair in the end, noone seemed to have the Elemis offer with the wipes on any more and found a discount code for 10% off when you spend £30 on there. I ordered some hand cream and body wash. My excuse is I've been really good with my healthy eating and exercise regime so I deserved a treat!! I'm a sucker for a free gift Will declare all once they arrive...

That's a good routine you have going there maddiemay! I think I should probably take heed and use a separate SPF too...
How is Mr MM doing/coping?

A small UU to report:
Sanctuary Spa Body Butter 100ml - the one with the orange lid, nice enough but probably WNBA as it is so whipped/light that I got through it in a couple of uses. I prefer a thicker one, so I don't dry out & wither away :rotfl:
I'm now just down to my holy grail body butter (body shop cocoa butter) and some laura mercier mini's that I use sparingly when going out... ie. I've finally graduated in the body moisturiser department! Yayyy! :T

Thanks for asking, Mr MM is doing OK. It is a 50 mile drive to the hospital for his op and he needs to be there at 0800 on Friday, so off tomorrow and staying the night near to there, hopefully bring him home on Friday, complete with a plate in his forearm!. Need to pack my overnight bag, a chance to use some of my stash of sample sizes:T

I think it will be ages and ages before I can graduate on body moisturisers, haircare is coming down nicely, toothpaste and deodorant almost there and although I have masses of skincare products they are all HG or well liked items, with a smattering of trial sizes of new things to try.

Well done Parisian on the body butters, I wish I could say the same.

Today I have tried the Avon Matte Mineral SPF30 face cream. I used it over PCMC (after letting the PCMC absorb for a bit while I dried my hair) and so far so good, it feels nice on but typically it is not in any of the brochures coming up next, they have spf for face but not this matte one - boo.

A couple of weeks ago I started using HE Fresh Balance shampoo and conditioner and love it, the difference between my hair now and when I was using the Percy & Reed stuff is amazing, at the time I didn't think the P & R stuff was too bad but now I realise it was. If anyone suffers with oily hair the HE one is worth a go, it really is very good.

Have a few uu

Elemis PCMC - 15ml, this is the first time I have tried this and I really liked it, a little goes a long way too. I have others in the stash so no need to repurchase yet. Am going back to La Roche Posay Effacler Duo next.

The Perfume Parlour perfume oil in Issomer - this is their version of L'eau d Issey - WBA it was lovely but the oil means it has to be carefully placed as it stays on the surface of the skin.

Elemis Skin Nourishing body wash - 50ml, WBA but I have a ton of these in the stash.

Two GA's also

No7 Foaming Cleanser - to DH, he uses this as a face wash and loves it.

I also have some things on ebay with bids so should have more outs soon, assuming they pay up and don't suddenly fall dreadfully ill when the time comes:mad:

moromir - you can do the same deal with the cloths (flannel type) on salonskincare I think.

Oh dear, you lot are such a bad influence!! :rotfl:

Confrm yes you can indeed get the Elemis GWP if you buy the face cloths. Don't ask me how I know.

Hi everyone.

A UU and 2 GA's to report this morning

L'Oreal Perfect Clean Face Wash - I never thought I'd finish this product, it was so boring! Just a totally bog standard face wash that smelt of nothing but was quite creamy. Did the job of cleaning my face but nothing special. WNBA

E45 Tub - Gave a pot of this to OH's Mum as her skin is really dry on her hands. Have been using this on my face but I know the ingredients aren't the best and plan to switch to something better when this is used up.

Nip + Fab Day Cream - This stuff was rubbish, not very moisturising and I'm pretty sure it was this that broke me out in spots! Think I'm going to have to repurchase S&G's For Daily Youth
