No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2013

minicooper272

Just back from a long weekend away. Haven't had time to catch up yet, so hope I'm not missing anything big!

Have bought some facial cleansing wipes - am off on my holidays next Thursday, and needed some to take away with me. Don't think I need any toiletries for going away - just need to top up an empty bottle with conditioner and try to work out what the lightest of my toiletries are!

Welcome Jodisue.

Congratulations Parisian on your graduation.

UU

2 x Baby wipes - have made an effort to get rid of the numerous part packs from around the house WBA.

2 x bath bombs - WMBA if the handmade stall came back to the local market.

TBS Grapefruit body butter - WBA this is one of my favourite scents.

Boots cotton wool pads - WBA (but will be searching for the HB version)

Colgate toothpaste - WNBA (ever) am now on my last tube.

Dr Organic coconut oil moisture melt - came from LIB probably WNBA (I do have one more left) there was nothing wrong with the product but it wasnt special enough to justify the £9 price tag. It didnt spell much of coconut and the melting in hot water was a bit of a faff, glass bottles and slippery oily hands isnt an ideal combination either.

7 days Elemis bliss capsules - WMBA am currently on a second sample pack as a week isnt long enough to trial them really. I started using them during a really spotty week and they appear to have settled my skin down - will see if I look 10 years younger next week.

1 ebay out

Ins

2 x moshi monster mouthwash - for DD.

Have repainted my toes with A england St George to continue the green fetish I have at the moment.

I really like the Elemis capsules too, I use them for a couple of weeks then have quite a long break then use again for another couple of weeks. I do not like the price though:eek:.

UU

Heart shaped bath bomb - WMBA a winner with DD

TBS pink grapefruit EDT - WNBA although I love pink grapefruit this was sweeter than the usual fragrance from the range.

No7 for men wake up facewash mini - WBA DH likes this

UU:

35. Soap & Glory Clean Girls shower gel 75ml - WMBA, nice enough but didn't wow me

36. S&G Righteous Butter 50ml - WBA but no need to replace for a while, HG

And an IN:

12. Sure APD 250ml - to replace a splutterer, as other than a couple of minis (which I'm saving for weekends away/handbag), my gym bag deo and the one I have packed for hols, there are none in the stash!b this was half price at Boots and I was able to use an ACM voucher to get a further discount.

Evening everyone. Spent a lot of money today that I don't have :eek::o:(

Felt pretty fed up recently so it was nice to treat myself but I am now worrying about the cost. I had been doing really well cutting back and trying to tackle my debt and not had a spending spree for so long. Not sure whether I am going to return things yet or keep them Need to sit down and work it out really.

2 UU and 1 IN toiletries wise:

UU -
120: Boots Foot Lotion - This has been around for ages and started to use before bed. Nice enough but probably WNBA.

121: Bare Minerals Mini Foundation pot thingy - WBA and already have but in the matte version.

IN:
61: Super Facialist Deep Clean Pore Purifying Clay Mask 125ml - really wanted to try this and was on offer in Boots.

Need a new cleanser, facial sunscreen, and effaclar duo soon too :eek:

Thank you to everyone for their kind thought. I have been awol and only just back online.
Meeting with HR went ok, manager actually said he didn't think I had a case to answer :eek: (so why was I there in the first place?? :mad:) but they said they'd be in touch and 1 week later have not heard a peep:( so a bit confused as to what is actually happening. I can only hope it's a good sign.

Off work the next couple of days so that will give me time to thik, have been working constantly for the last 10 days.

No Ins or UUs either. Thanks again everyone, so nice to have some friends here :A

Some UU
[FONT=DokChampa, sans-serif]LUSH Father Christmas Bath Ballistic - WBA
I love this bath bomb, it was full of glitter and sparkles. It is white and red in colour but when you put it in the bath, the centre of it is green, it turns the water a beautiful colour but the bath does need a rinse after, especially with the glitter!!

LUSH So White Bath Ballistic - WNBA
This one just wasnt too exciting, to be honest I cant even remember using it but I know I did...Wouldnt buy again unless it came in a gift set (most of my LUSH purchases are made in their xmas sales, I end up spending....too much shall we say in them!)
[/FONT]
[FONT=DokChampa, sans-serif]Umberto Giannini Sleek & Chic Straightening Conditioner 250ml - WMBA[/FONT]
[FONT=DokChampa, sans-serif]I love Umberto Giannini hair care products, the only reason I would only maybe buy this again is because there is another Shampoo & Conditioner in his range that I prefer. My hair is naturally quite straight anyway so I dont need much extra help with it. I usually bulk buy S&C when the range is on 3 for 2 or 3 for £10 etc.[/FONT]

[FONT=DokChampa, sans-serif]Strawberry Exfoliating Mask 15ml - WBA[/FONT]
[FONT=DokChampa, sans-serif]I was worried about using a face mask as normally they irritate my sensitive skin but this one was really nice, it was quite thick with seeds in it to exfoliate. It was just one of those sachets you can buy in boots or superdrug etc, quite cheap. My skin felt soft afterwards, would deffo use again[/FONT]

[FONT=DokChampa, sans-serif]And one TA[/FONT]
[FONT=DokChampa, sans-serif]So...Fab Body Spray[/FONT]
[FONT=DokChampa, sans-serif]I tried to like this, used it a few times but just really dont like the scent!

oh they certainly do... take an extra (empty) suitcase and a clear credit card would be my advice
