No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2013

mcculloch29

Hello, in again and thank you KT2802. No UU's but a GA of c.300 ml of Avon's Mango and Ginger Cleansing and Balancing 2 in 1 Shampoo /Conditioner 750 ml bottle to DGD .
I gave my grand-daughter (12) some of this for Christmas, she liked it , used it up and mine had cluttered up the bathroom for too long.

Currently I'm using Avon's Moroccan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner and praying my hair doesn't get used to it as I love the softness and shine. Not only that but it's on offer again in the latest Avon brochure (Hammyham, I saw that you are a fan of this as well. )

Dolly84, Re your July post on Lush Dirty Springwash S.Gel, Avon's Fast Hydration Shower Gel is water mint scented, very fresh and marine. I think I remember that BS Watermint one, because when I sniffed the Fast Hydration I knew I'd smelled something very similar before.

MoneylessMac, I saw your post in July's thread about the money you saved for your holiday. That's incredible.

I have splutterers and ins from Avon to replace them. They were on the 5 items for a fiver offer. The other two items were shower gels to give away.

Spluttering: 400 ml Avon Care Rich Moisture Family Cream, IN: the same
Spluttering: 200ml Avon Skin so Soft Body Lotion, IN 400 ml Avon Care Nourishing Body lotion.

Spluttering: 150 ml Aldi Hydro Urea hand cream used as foot cream, IN Avon hand cream, quick absorbing, to be used as foot cream too.

Managed another UU yesterday, making 3 in 3 days. I wonder if I can do 4 for 4?

UU Mark Hill Split End Capsules - liked the soft feeling these gave my hair, and kept finding myself stroking my hair. Originally bought these 4 years ago, so they weren't so amazing I can't live without them, but I WMBA some day.

Am I too late to join? :P

I'm not overly stashed up, but I have a habit of stashing up a lot when things are on offer (good).. and then forgetting about them and having to purchase new, full priced items (bad, very very bad!). I would list everything but I'm not at home until the 12th August!

Never too late to join! And I also haven't listed everything I own, I just keep a track of what comes in and what goes out.

Just a couple of OUTs...

2 - Lancome advanced genifique serum, sample sized. Didn't like this, it came off in little rolls so I could only use it at night, and it felt greasy not smooth.
3 - Avon incandessence body spray - would never buy again from Avon

Managed to make it to B00ts for razors and a couple of bits, and came out toiletry free! Very impressed with myself. I indulged in a look round, but there was nothing that took my fancy or that I needed :T

Had a look in the mirror this morning, and I seem to have really bad visible pores on my nose at the moment. Have no idea how to calm them down... Any tips?

I read somewhere that fresh tomato is really beneficial for big pores.
I can't remember where but a quick Google brought up a Times of India article on this.
I remember the original advice I read was about rubbing a fresh tomato on your face (avoiding eyes) and washing it off after 15 minutes.
There is other advice on the benefits of tomatoes but this is what the T o I said about pores:
Big pores? Shrink Them
Big pores provide easy access to dirt and grime thus increasing the chances of infecting the pore. Take a tablespoon of fresh tomato juice. Add two to four drops of fresh lime juice to this. Use a cotton ball to apply this mixture on your face. Massage it in circular motions. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and then wash off with cool water. Regular application will shrink pores greatly.

Cheaper than some of the concoctions you can buy and very MSE - I would think you could use the lime a few times if you pierced it with a big needle and squeezed out a few drops that way, then put it in the fridge. Or try bottled juice. HTH.

Thanks McCulloch that sounds really interesting. Sods Law I just read that AFTER I got back from the supermarket, so I'll need to nip to the shop, but definitely worth giving it a go!
