No Buying Unneccecary Toiletries in May 2013

hammyham

at boots it's £10 pounds of points if two items (one skincare) bought, then there's 3 items to choose if the same. the woman at my counter was going to make me buy 3 items to have both offers but then she said she'd let me have both as i wasn't going to bother. there's a thread here

I have managed to resist the Boots No7 glitch, :j this is what started me with a toiletries stash in the first place when there was a Boots grabbit thread ...:o

I must admit I almost caved yesterday after reading the glitch and I did have a glossy burning a hole oin my pocket. After aksing what was the cheapest to buy and being ignored and then being told well it depnds on what you buy :embarasse that I decided to give it a miss.
Not at work so then temptation is gone.
Off topic but work is being a nightmare, line managers line manager giving me a whole lot of hassle for no reason. I swear he has a vendetta against me. :mad:Final straw this week was when he refused to sign an overnight expense that he happily signed for another member of staff at the same place, so I am out of pocket. He cannot allow an expense for one person and not for the other. Debating about taking it to HR, in my experience HR look after their own interests and will support him, not me. :mad:

Luckystar

Not been on for few days so have a few of each to report

UU x 3
Body Shop vanilla bliss hand cream 30ml - WBA
Bought this just after Xmas in the sale I think, smells lovely and really does the job. They only sell it at xmas which is a shame, also I liked that it was a normal plastic tube, I hate those metal ones they sell with the year round hand creams.
Benefit It's Potent eye cream - WNBA
This sometimes irrites and stings the skin under my eyes so I wouldn't buy it again.
Caudalie Vinexpert night infusion cream (sachet) - WMBA
I did like this and it did seem to make my skin look a little more revitalised, got 3 uses out the sachet which is pretty good but will probably stick to something I'm more familar with

IN
Simple kind to eyes soothing eye balm 15ml
Bought in Tesco today as they have a third off Simple at the moment so only cost me £2.66 used it before and I know it won't irritate my eyes.
Nivea dare to dip sample pack freebie .

Halfway through the month everyone :j

The Colgate Pro relief toothpaste which they advertise all the time on t.v. made my teeth more sensitive too - bizarre.

Interesting to hear it's not just me! :eek:

That is such a duff deal. Thoughts and prayers across the ether to his family and of course to you. Hugs.

Big hugs to those who need them :grouphug: Sorry to hear some of us are having a tough time, treats are definitely ok at such times

I've a UU from last night, Boots Extracts Mango Body Butter, love this product and range WDBA - got me thinking that I must really be getting low on body butters/lotions, without a doubt one of the worst areas of the original stash :j

Also realised I've not updated my list yet for this month despite being halfway through Really must do it though as I'll lose track of where I'm up to and that way leads to temptation! Either that or me buying random products not knowing what I've already got, which was part of the original issue....

Hugs to all those who need them its sad to hear so many have such awful things going on.

Some UU to report:

Elemis tri enzyme resurfacing mask - This may be one of my new favourites.

60ml TBS Satsuma shower gel - my DD used this - WBA we both like the fragrance.

Pink glitter bubble bath in the shape of a castle - another of DD Christmas gifts - WNBA it was rubbish barely a bubble.

and yet more ins:

5 x 30ml DHC cleansing oil - an ebay bargain of one of my favourite cleansers.

Nivea dare to dip samples (2)

Have some ebay outs but will record when I post

My thoughts are with you x

Morning everyone.

Have just been catching up on the thread as have had a busy week.

Really hope that unwell people are feeling better. I wondered where tokkiandoliver had got to, I hope she is ok.

Very sorry to hear about your break up Parisian and that you are having problems at work assett. Seems very unfair.

That is so sad rosemary - I have him and his family in my thoughts.

One UU so far this week:

UU77: Neutrogena Face Scrub (Can't remember the full name of it) - WMBA, it was ok. I like to have a face scrub to use in the shower and usually just buy whatever is on offer.
