No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2013

VALM

Have caught up on thread now. No more UUs to declare but equally no INs. Yeh, got through the weekend which included a visit to Trafford Centre, Manchester and Stockport without buying any cosmetics. Woop.

Did have a pedicure yesterday though and very happy with my Gellish toes painted in Bella's Vampire.

I forgot to report an in yesterday

Simple Eye makeup corrector pen - this was a freebie in the post from Simple. It says to clean after every use with a simple cleansing wipe, I will just clean with something else as doing that would be very wasteful. This isn't something I would buy as a cotton bud and cleanser does the job for me.

I got one too and thought the same....wonder if I could flea bay it!girl emailed me about some fabric I was trying to sell,she knew when it ended but forgot to bid then wanted to buy direct!!told he rit was soooo against fleabay rules and if she wanted it I would relist but only when no fees!

6 x MAC products, not all entirely finished but had them for years so I'm Back2Mac'ing them for a free lipstick

Goldspice MetalX Cream Eyeshadow - WNBA hard to work with & LE (think theyve reformatted this product for subsequent LE launches)

Prep&Prime skin refined zone treatment - WBA kept me relatively matt (no small feat)

Love Nectar Lipglass - WNBA not a gloss girl (i.e. not a hair stuck to my mouth girl)

Sugar Shock Lipgelee - WNBA LE and see above

Clear brow gel - WNBA - not worth spending that kind of cash on this type of product - using a W7 version that I'm more than happy with.

Emanual Ungaro SeeThru Lip Colour stain - WNBA LE and I prefer the Loreal glossy stains

Think I'm going to treat myself to MAC's rebel lipstick - anyone else got any favourite MAC lipsticks?

so proud of DS3 who just ran a half marathon for charity, pity the woman(only one of many he tells me) who spent so much on booze at the night club he works at that she passed out in a loo and erupted from every orifice leaving him to deal with the mess could not spare a bit of booze money to sponsor him:mad::mad::mad::mad:

After applying oil all over I thought I only had enough left in the bottle for one arm the next day so tipped it all out and couldn't rub it in due to the excess. Wouldn't have been a problem had I not then put on a pair of tights. By the time I got to work the tights were down to just above my knees. Took me longer to get to work as well as had to waddle like a penguin to try and keep the tights up!!

I keep wanting to try the Kringle candles but have still not found a stockist nearby. I did have a Starbucks Pumpkin Latte yesterday though and it was delish.

I too would love to treat myself to the Philosophy shower gels but really mustn't. Still have quite a few in my stash and some in use as it is.


I really didn't like this fragrance either. Just using the new violet one at the mo and that's nice. None of them beat the lavender one though.

Oh dear, that did make me laugh:rotfl:

The Boots advantage points thing is driving me mad, I want some of the new Philosophy winter shower gels very much although the last thing I need for a very long time is shower gel. I have an obsession with it, I love the idea of a gorgeous scent and all that steam.

Oh VALM, I'm sorry but :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I wasn't as good as you two, but I use their shower gels as shampoo just as much as I use them as shower gel, and I am nearly out of shampoo so........I win!

That's awful! I don't know why people get themselves into that state (and probably go home thinking it was an amazing night too!) Sponsorship would have been a better use, but hey-ho, you can't expect it of everyone.

im going to have some INS, realised that by combining offers and codes i could get my new HG Nuxellense Jeunesse serum from the Nuxe website that i want anyway as my little mini one is nearly all gone along with a travel kit giving me a mini of the serum in that and another 2 free minis with an offer giving me another 45ml of serum (full size is 50ml), 4 other minis that i adore from them, a free scented candle and a sample pack. then its double points on their loyalty programme so i'll get a £10 e voucher back too

ive decided to put the Elemis and Origins set i got the other week away for xmas to give me something to look forward to and an incentive to use up some products before xmas.

Has anyone got any idea how to get that Lancome Dreamtone stuff cheaply? Ebay have it for £50 or Lancome have it for £69 with a gift set worth £36ish, really want to try and get it for £40.....

Am I reading your post right that theres a code for extra minis? I can't find one - could you point me in the right direction?
