No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries in June 2013

evilsquid1603

UU:
Liz Earle toner - found it and used up but seen no difference from using this up to using the Avene water spray which is half the price!
Liz earle skin repair light - HG, have a few other moisturisers in the stash to get through before this can be repurchased!
Bare Minerals make up remover mini - WBA this was good, if a bit oily.

TA:
stila eyeliner in Moray - this broke so in the bin it went!
inika mascara - got with a beauty bible package, this was utterly useless and throughly deserving of its TA!
OPI muppets mini polish - this was the Gonzo colour, i ADORE it but the design of the bottle made it impossible to get the last bits out! :mad:

Oh dear oh dear oh dear... BS has a sale... And I also hit my £5 off stamp on the loyalty card. So, my INS for today are:

Love etc body butter (loads of butters down to £5)
Fragrance free sulfate free shower gel (£2.50)
Gift pack of 3 hand creams (£12)
Moroccan orange blossom body spritz (£5)

Also bought 2 bottles of l'oreal Paris sulfate free shampoos - have tried a bottle of this out, and it's the only sulfate free shampoo I've tried so far that works as well as normal shampoos. It's very expensive though, so I took advantage of an offer in super drug, while they are (only?) £3.99!

Did you use the code for the extra 40% off?

3 INs to report - I was looking for a cheap moisturiser with SPF for everyday use and a night cream with no spf for everynight use

Superslug has a 3 for 2 offer on their Vitamin E range so I bought 100ml Nourishing Night Cream, 100ml SPF 15 Moisturising Day Cream and 15ml SPF 15 Radiance Eye Cream which I'll use as an eye area sun cream on my holiday in 5 weeks. My first holiday in 4 years

So I finally made it to Boots to check out the Glad Hair Day conditioner - and it was half price! Thanks again sweetcheeks33 . Luckily for my stash they only had a couple, so I mixed with one of the shampoos. Also managed 25% off them all with a voucher - nice little treat at the end of a tough week at work. So 3 INs (23-25)

I have a UU: 45. Dove ProAge Shampoo 50ml - WMBA, nice enough.

Feeling more human today after over 11 hours sleep followed by plenty of pampering: scrubbed, defuzzed and moisturised tip to toe, face mask, the works. Shame no more UUs, think that's me done now for June.

Had a lovely relaxing afternoon in this lovely weather, and also had my promotion confirmed today so feeling very happy :j

Hope everyone is well

Evening ladies,

Congratulations on your promotion Sundaysgirl :beer:

I have my last 2 uu's of the month -

Along came Betty porefectly clean hot cloth cleanser - this did the job and I have another one in the stash but I probably wnba when it's finished as there are other brands which I much prefer

Revlon wella conditioner - this did a good job and kept my hair soft and healthy, it was £1 and for that price I will buy again

Happy pampering, xo

just recently discovere d this thread and have come to the horrifying conclusion that I will probably die of old age before I use up my stash based on my rate of use this month which I feel is my normal use

used up
boots fruit essence shampoo coconut and orchid-WNBA very thin strong smell and didn't feel it lathered very well
cpolgate max fresh with cooling crystals cool mint- WBA but still have loads from Tesco DTD plus points
no7 200ml protect and perfect serum-HG use this all the time
no7 gentle foaming face wash-discontinued to be replaced by next uu
no7 gentle foaming face cleanser-HG but believe that this is discontinued now as well
boots essentials mouthwash cool mint -WBA not a huge mouthwash fan but this isn't too strongly flavoured
boots evening primrose handwash-WNBA the smell reminded me of insect repellant
BS candied ginger body butter-WNBA the smell is too overpowering and found that it left the bathwater really scummy next time around-honest im not that dirty
Sanctuary body scrup-HG for my husband who loves it I use it occasionally
Clarins hand cream-HG ridiculously expensive but I love it
Clarins extra firming night cream-HG as above
Boots cracked heel balm-HG fabulous if you have hard skin need to use it every night-can escape with missing one night but no more before you notice the difference
Sure aerosol aloe vera/dove aerosol grapefruit and lemon grass/nivea invisible for balck/white-would buy all three again but have crazy stash from various Tesco/boots glitches

sold on ebay
2x clarins beauty flash balm 30mls and 1x clarins night cream 15mls-freebies with purchase of hand cream so offset the cost a bit

gave away 6x assorted gift sets to my sister for the tombola at her village fair

Zero purchases this month-very very proud of myself

I'm extremely jealous right now! Is it a mainstream charity at all? It would be good to run along and see if they have an offer on in my local one. I had a nosey in my local charity shop today, but they were really overpriced, so I put everything back again (£4.50 for a plain-ish brown m&s T-shirt :eek:)

No, it was a local cancer charity shop. Know exactly what you mean, most CS near me are similarly priced - why would you want to spend £4.99 for a Primark t shirt??!! Sometimes I go in them for a check and wonder why on earth I'm there, a waste of time. Obviously people must buy as its always busy but I'd rather support the other one, especially at 50p!!

Back on topic - have an OUT Boots extracts coconut body butter. WBA bought on the 75% off sale after Christmas a few years ago. Thick and luxurious, nice so WBA.
This kind of offsets the INs I have - another 3 No 7 items from Mr Boots

That's a shame, the price is a bit of a peeve of mine sometimes - I'd buy more if it cost less. These days, it's cheaper to buy on fleabay! Enjoy all your purchases!

This has been a dismal month for me on the UU front. I finally have my 2nd UU up - Balance Me Moisturiser which was a GWP from a mag last year. WBA really liked this and my oily skin benefited from it too.

Nothing else is even close to a splutterer.

glamour magazine which is out 8th July has balance me freebies again. There are 4 different free items (one supplied) and I know one of those is skin moisturiser. Magazine is £2.
