No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2013

alja

I have a TA as I just went to have a bath and to start using a Bayliss & Harding grapefruit and sweet mandarin (well I think that was the scent?!) body wash, but it smelt plasticy!!

Will use it to clean around the house instead I think! I have a body lotion from the same set, so I may run off to smell and check that now...

Another UU - M&S Night and Day Mascara - WBA but what a shock it has been discontinued. Shame I liked it and it didn't transfer onto my cheeks. I now have no mascaras left in my stash :eek::eek:. First time ever!!

I have OUTs:

TA:

11-13. Face mask sachets, gone off
14&15. BS face moisturiser minis, gone off

UUs:

27. Charles Worthington Take Aways Deep Conditioning Treatment 30ml - probably WNBA, others I prefer and this was a stash relic so probably discontinued anyway!

28. Nivea Calm & Care APD 250ml - probably WBA but not for a while

29. Garnier Moisture Match moisturiser for dull skin 1.5ml - hard to tell from such a small tester but WMBA as a reasonably priced day moisturiser

30. Boots Natural Collection Wild Strawberry face mask 10ml - WNBA, found this a bit stingy/burny on my skin so had to wash off after only a minute or so, my skin isn't sensitive and never had this reaction before so maybe this one had gone off too!

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the long weekend.

Sam - your decorating/colour scheme sounds gorgeous! We're in the process of deciding colours for our hall and looks like we're going down the grey and baby blue route too!

Kadison - hope the arm is getting better and you're well enough to take part tomorrow!

Fiasco - enjoy your weekend, sounds like lots of fun!

My OH is visiting family this weekend so I'm having some much needed "me time" today, a very lazy weekend and lots of pampering

Right guys I'm off!

Staying overnight in Bournemouth ahead of the plane pull tomorrow

If anyone wants to see what I'm doing, here is the 2011 event

I'm just returned from a week in the sun and have used up loads of sachets and minis. My hair is feeling a bit frazzled from the heat and humidity so I'll be using up a hair mask sachet as soon as I get the chance for a lovely bath.

UU:

John Frieda Everlasting Blonde 2x shampoo, 2x conditioners. WNBA. These were freebies from a few weeks ago and were nothing special.

Herbal Essences Smooth & Soft S&C sachets. WMBA. I have found 2 or 3 shampoos that I love so would stick to those probably but this one was OK, might buy if it was on an irresistible offer.

John Frieda Frizz Ease sachets x2. WBA. These were ancient but this is good stuff. I have the Schwarzkopf Hair Oil atm but Frizz Ease was brilliant in the heat, it kept my curls under control while it was too humid to make straighteners useful.

Soap & Glory Clean On Me mini. WBA. I love S&G so will certainly have this again at some point.

S&G Scrub Of Your Life mini. Ditto.

S&G Righteous Butter mini. I have a large tub and it's one of my faves. I took some perfume minis with me but it was so hot and humid that it was pointless, however the smell of the S&G products hung around all day

Dove Original Spray APD mini. Another winner though I usually have the roll on.

I also took the last of my OCM mixture and used it up. Now I need to restock castor oil and make up some more. One of my HG items, and very :money:

IN
Chloe perfume, my mum had a spare she wouldn't use so i bought it off her
Also, I cant remember if i declared my Bumble and Bumble with my Elle subscription or my RMK skincare travel sizes set (foam cleanser, oil cleanser, herb mist and skin tuner travel size bottles)


UU
Aveda Toner - WNBA, noticed no difference
L'Oreal everpure - HG, already replaced with another.
Aveda Rosemary Mint shampoo and conditioner minis - WBA, had a lovely refreshing smell
Akin - Hair mask WBA, Nice smell and it does make my hair smoother
Beneft - Stay Dont Stray - WNBA, the pump packaging is useless and it separates in the packaging so you get the pigmented bit and oily water coming out when you pump.

Hi there,

Have been on a no buy since June and have stumbled onto this site.
Hoping to keep myself on the straight an narrow by reading about other folks not caving to the lure of lip gloss.

No further UUs to report just yet but have painted my nails and tried all my new OPI colours now. My faves are Lost on Lombard, Embarca Dare You and Alcatraz Rocks. I do like the Muir Muir on the Wall one in certain light - in the office it looked a lovely mauve colour yet in daylight looked slate grey.

Am today wearing Love Peace and OPI which looks very much like Germanicure by OPI to me.

Mine arrived a few days ago, Alcatraz Rocks, It's all San Andrea's Fault and Wharf, Wharf, Wharf. Wearing Alcatraz Rocks, love the colour, but very disappointed with the wear, only lasted two days and have 4 nails so badly chipped it will have to be changed tomorrow, it also stained a bit, but, I still love it Need to do fingers and toes tomorrow and have 5 new LD's to try too, might have to do skittles LOL

Have some UU's, but will wait until end of month, might have a few more by then.

1 UU cotton wool (though I now need to buy more so not that happy about it!)
