No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2013

KT2802

Afternoon everyone. Hope people are well. Just popping in to declare some UU:

116: John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Shampoo 250ml - WBA although trying to grow out the blonde but will take years!

117: Nivea Daily Essentials Eye make up remover 125ml - WBA and already have. Used this up quicker than normal as it leaked it my travel wash bag. I always buy whatever eye make up remover is on offer and this always seems to be half price.

118: Benefit Moisture prep toning lotion - WNBA, ok but nothing special.

VALM - my OPI wishlist is
Magazine Cover Mouse
Alcatraz Rocks
It's all San Andrea's Fault and
Wharf Wharf Wharf.

I want the Alcatraz one as well but it's not one that's coming out in my kit. Sadly I can't recall the names of the colours but I think one is the red (Lombard something or other), the Embarca one, Peace Love & OPI and I think another pinky magenta one.

I bought the Definite Moust Have colour from the Minnie Mouse collection which is very similar to the Party in My Cabana colour from the South Beach collection that I loved and they discontinued.

My new colours are supposedly being shipped today by QVC so will post how I get on with them.

I reeeaaally want to buy a Liz Earle bundle. *sits on hands*

Which bundle are you coveting luvlycake? I have new love for Liz Earle after that lovely freebie I got from them last week. Think I'll have to "share" the C&P when it's opened once I've finished my current cleanser as that will be my last one from all the Elemis stock I had from Christmas.

16. Champneys watermint body scrub 200ml - WBA, very scrubby and refreshing, left my skin feeling quite tingly - great for summer, maybe not one for winter though! No need to repurchase anytime soon, lots more scrubs in the stash!

I'm using a L'Occitane Mint Verbena scrub at the moment and that is lovely and refreshing too. Only need a very small dab of it too to get a really good scrub.

I've been very bad this month! Although in my defence it's the first time I've made non-essential purchases since February


- L'Occitane verbena shower gel - I quite like the verbena range but still have a few products in the range so wouldn't buy right now.


- OPI I Theodora You - I've never owned an OPI before and was too tempted by the duty free when we flew a few weekends ago. Nice colour but chips horribly and doesn't last long enough for the price!

I love L'Occitane Verbena. Last time I shopped there though I picked up a sale pack of 2 x body washes - one is cherry and the other citrus verbena which we're using as a handwash in the kitchen and it is devine. Will try and get more of this though probably next year now as it feels Autumnal already.

I own I Theodora You and love it. Personally, I find OPI lacquers have more staying power if I use Nail Envy under them rather than the OPI Base Coat.

I have a UU to report. Tube of NSPA beauty balm. Have another one ready to open. Really like this and am hoping that it will continue to look good in the Autumn/Winter when unfortunately my skin gets that bit drier. We'll see. If it doesn't I will need t re-invest in some Laura Geller Spackle and Balance and Brighten.

Some INs today as well. Went to Wilkinsons for some Cutex nail lacquer remover as I probably only have one application left. The Aussie range was on offer - 3 for £10.00 so bought Emma some replacement shampoo and conditioner too.

Nooo, don't tempt me! I love L'Occ but try to stay away as they always have some great offer on which means that I never buy just one item, and always leave having parted with the best part of £100 :eek: I also think it's quite overpriced for some of the bodycare items, and I'm especially aware of this now since I'm trying to really cut back on toiletries and get my mortgage paid off! The Champneys one is a good price, and I managed to get it in clearance for £2.50 and 3 for 2 luxury bathing, even though every other Mr B's I've been to is still selling it for £6?!

Eeep, my will power is going...:shhh:

OK, some OUTs from today:

13 - VO5 gloss me smoothly shampoo - too heavy on my hair and gave me an itchy scalp. Used about half the bottle but I've now emptied it into the handwash dispenser in the kitchen. WNBA
14 - UU Dove invisible dry spray deo, compressed. I seem to have a couple of these half used. These are good, I'd buy again.
15 - Batiste dry shampoo in original. I would buy again, but I have some sample sizes first!

UU a tub of whipped body butter - Someone my Mum knows makes this for craft fairs, I really loved the scent, and it's made from all natural butters and oils. It was a little greasy, but I like it, and I've been stocking up on all the ingredients so I can attempt to make my own for Christmas presents. I'm not going to try making it for a couple of months yet though, but I have other things to use in the mean time!

Another UU from my gym bag:

17. Soap & Glory Daily Smooth body butter 50ml - probably WNBA, this was a little too thick and as a result it didn't seem to go far at all, and I REALLY struggled to get the last bits out of the tube. Basically I just prefer Righteous Butter, which also comes in miniature.

UU

Elemis tri enzyme resurfacing mask - WBA

Colgate toothpaste - WNBA down to the last 2 in my stash so the end is near.
