No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2013

Parisian

Sundaysgirl... how lovely, to try your wedding dress on for the first time

An unexpected UU:
John Frieda Luxurious Volume Touchably Full Shampoo 250ml - I thought I'd cut open the tube and have a few more days, but actually this is the most efficient packaging ever and upon cutting it open there was hardly anything collected on the sides/neck. Very good product, volumising and not too drying. WBA, but like to experiment so not for a while!

INS

2 x OPI polishes, got the red minnie mouse one and polka.com
L'oreal TEC hairspray and Super Dust

hopefully due some UUs soon, i hate having mostly full size things!

One of my radiance balm INs from the other day has now become a GA as I've given one to my mum. As least that's an IN taken off my list! Now I just need to concentrate on getting more UUs!!

SmarterNotHarder

Confession time.. and naughty step possibly as I really don't NEED any of my INs today...:o

Gillette Satin Care 75ml - I have a full size one I'm working trough but I bought this travel size for my upcoming trip to Thailand I figured I really didn't want to lug around full sixe stuff and decanting shaving gel would be a mission!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure x2 in white and a beige. I never usually use nail varnish, but when i do it's a French manicure, I figured trying to do it myself is cheaper than paying for it!

OPI Shatter nail varnish in Navy Shatter - this was a moment of madness but I couldn't resist for a £1!:money:

All of the above were bought from Poundland, total spend £4.

Some of you may sigh when I say this, but I'm going to be 25 in 3 weeks and I'm starting to feel like I should be looking at something to help prevent ageing. I don't think I'm showing proper signs of ageing, but I've had a worry line on my forehead since I was 12, and have recently started to form my third, with the rest of my forehead is looking a little tired. Can anyone recommend something appropriate?

Ditto everything about decent moisturiser with SPF in it, I always use at least SPF all year round.
I too have a worry line on my forehead. I call it my frown line although I think I also get it when I'm concentrating hard as well. I am very concious of it and try to remember when I'm out and about but sometimes I feel I let slip.

Other posters have mentioned the sun and I feel that another thing that ages you is lines at the side of your eyes. I always try to wear wide wrap around sunglasses when the sun's out so stop me squinting. People comment I'm trying to make out I'm famous but I know a lot of younger people who have lines. Anything I can do to prevent looking older than my age before my time I do.

I have 3 OUTS :jfrom the recent Boots No 7 glitch - sold via a f/book group :T

Started the 5:2 diet today needing some moral support!

Have a little uu

Ren Hydra Calm cleansing gel - 5ml, too small a sample to really get an idea of the benefits, it smelt nice but seemed fairly basic in use.

Had a look at the LIB box but didn't buy as all but one item I think was in the advent calendar. The items from the calendar keep cropping up in boxes so I think they must have had a lot left over, emptied the items out and made up beauty boxes with them. The item that wasn't in the calendar was the nSPA cleanser but it would be cheaper to go to Asda and buy that on it's own, funny brand for them to be promoting I think though.

How exciting the trying on of the wedding dress.

Resisted going into Boots this week, so not aware of the 1/3 off Indeed Labs - thanks for the heads up.

Puppies, how wonderful, do I remember right that the new Mum is a Lab?, I hope that she gets the hang of motherhood soon, such hard work otherwise.
How long did the Omorovicza Deep Cleansing Mask last you?

Re: the anti-aging question, remember the SPF if you spend much time in the car, also on hands, great prog. on tv a while ago, it was amazing how much sun damage to the faces of guys who did lots of driving (I think it mainly featured men, to get home to them that they needed spf protection as well as women and sports people). De-hydration - I don't think I drink enough and this certainly makes the lines show up. Lastly if you sleep with your face pushed down into the pillow, pop a silk scarf on pillow and lie on that, it really makes a difference to those lines that take ages to disappear in a morning.

UU

Elemis tri enzyme resurfacing mask - WBA

Cotton Wool pads - WBA

Elvive crystal conditioner - WBA this works well on my DD fine hair as its lightweight.

nSpa Cocoa bean shower gel - got in a gift set for xmas and WNBA the fragrance is bleugh - luckily it doesnt last.

L'oreal everpure shampoo - I like all of the 'ever' shampoo, I dont personally think there is much between them but if I had to pick I think I would choose the everstrong so WBA but in this variety.

alja

I have two UUs (finally!) from before I went out this evening.

Neutrogena visibly clear grapefruit daily scrub - WNBA I like the smell but I prefer a scrubbier scrub than this.

The other UU was just a little bottle of hair conditioner, not sure what it was, it was decanted into this bottle for a holiday. But at least it's used up now
