No Buying Unneccecary Toiletries in May 2013

emsjune78

Morning ladies,

I'm up early, ready to go shopping and the sun is shining here in North Wales :cool:

I remembered what the errant out was yesterday that had been alluding me - Elemis Revatalise-Me Hand Lotion - sold on Ebay as I didn't like the smell - WNBA on this basis

I've also since had Lush Lust soap as a UU - WBA in theory although it doesn't seem to be available over here at the moment, I have another bar in waiting in any case Unapologetically pink and in your face jasmine fragrance, lovely but only complaint would be its got no staying power, having daily showers this was toast in under a week!

A couple of splutterers too so hopefully will have more UU to declare soon and finish this month with a reduction in overall numbers, its fairly neck and neck at the moment! Shopping today is meant to be for clothes - having lost nearly a stone recently I feel a little more inclined to go - hopefully no toiletries will find their way into my hands.... I'm not making any promises though!!

Morning all. The sun is shining here too, can't believe the difference from yesterday - it was 6 degrees here all day, freezing wind and rain.

I have a uu

S&G Greatest Scrub of All - WBA, this is very nice, it is a microdermabrasion type scrub rather than big gritty pieces, my face felt soft, smooth and fresh after using it which is all I want from a scrub.

I will have a couple of other uu before the end of the month but it has been slow, I had 25 outs on ebay which has helped a bit though.

I opened a pot of Body Shop Sweet Pea duo body butter this morning and now see what people have been saying about the dry skin side. One side is like all the other body butters and rubs in easily the other side takes ages to rub in, it just goes round and round on the surface. Smells beautiful though.

OMG, you're from North Wales! Me too! I've never come across anyone from the area on MSE before. Next time I see someone looking guilty in Boots, I'll assume it's you

My Emma Hardie came, any tips for use?

Ha ha very near you actually, I live in Prestatyn. You won't see me looking guilty though, I'll be on a high at the time, the guilt comes later when I get home! :eek:

Tresemme Travel Hair Spray
Soap and Glory Flake Away Body Scrub Travel Size

My advice would be not to add the water as the directions say, just warm it slightly in fingertips then apply to dry skin, massage and remove with a warm cloth. This has worked well for me and you really feel the benefit of the massage. I don't fancy adding water and emulsifying it. HTH

I'll ditto this, it is such a luxurious massage. Use only a teensy amount, you can always scoop out a little more if you need it, I think I probably wasted it a bit when I had my first little pot:(

Rosemary - I do so hope that you get a good result from your painful injection.

Hi everyone,

I have one UU and 3 INS to report!

UU
Clarins Beauty Flash Balm Sample - I kind of wasn't sure of the point of this when I started using it and wasn't that bothered about it, but I've been using it everyday for the last week and I think I really like it! Shame it's about £30! WBA if I felt rich!

IN's

Argan Oil Hair Masque - Given to me by a friend

Nivea In Shower Moisturiser Sachet

Nivea Moisturiser Sample

At least all the INS were freebies!

I've been trying to find cheaper skincare products that I like as at the moment I just can't afford to replace a £12 day cream and £13 night cream.

At the moment this is what I'm using,

Cleanser - S&G Face Soap & Clarity/S&G Peaches and Clean
Exfoliator - S&G Greatest Scrub Of All/St Ives Apricot Scrub
Day Cream - Nivea Dry and Sensitive Day Cream - Love that this has SPF!
Night Cream - E45 Cream
Toner - Simple Toner - currently using up an Olay toner but I think I prefer the Simple one.
