No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2013

Uu today: derma intensive Q10 hand cream. Have been applying this about 4 times an hour to get through it, as I knew it was getting low. WBA, it's a nice scent, reasonable cream, and very cheap to be leaving around the office.

RE the soot ball, make sure you scrub the tub out BEFORE you use it so that the 'soot' doesn't stick! Mine was awesome, glittery and fun but I had to clean the bath 5 times before the black was completely gone!! :eek:

Oh dear! I'm in rented accommodation, so perhaps it's not the best idea...

It wasn't, it smelled strongly of fruit, and was not much of a shape because it had been bashed around a lot - she definitely said it was something that hadn't actually made it to stores. Possibly that it was originally dragon shaped, but definitely that it was very old!

The only pink ones I know are fluffy egg ( candy fluff/ snow fairy scent) or the larger eggception one which has a sweet citrus scent. There has been other egg shaped ballistics but they were not pink there was a chocolate one and magic one years ago. You will probably find that it was made at a lush party where you can use existing ballistic mixes to make what ever you want or there was lush fest where again people/ staff could make new ballistics.

I was told to dip into water first to get the outer soot layer off before putting it in the bath, maybe a jug or something similar. It is supposed to be good ( apart from the soot). I have one but I am in no rush to use it. The other tip given was to put some bubble bath/ bar in as this makes it less likely to stick to the bath.

I sometimes use it all over my body after a shower or I drip it down my back and rub it in. I get through more in the winter because of this, it's a bit more moisturising than baby oil and I can't always be bothered applying body cream/lotion. It is greasy though so I've learnt not to use it on my arms and definitely not unless I have a good hour or two to sit in my PJs and let it sink in!

I have used it as an overnight treatment in the past but I now do that with my No7 moisture mask instead. I am going to apply it every night now on my b00bs as it's wonderful for toning the skin and making them feel firmer, and I need that! I also have a long scar from my belly button down from having an op to remove a very large ovarian cyst a few years ago, it'll never go completely but I want to see if I can get it to look a bit better!

Very comprehensive! Thanks!

Ooh I didn't realise it was good for firming... My lady bumps could do with a bit more perkiness too so will have to give it a try

The greasiness is what has stopped me using it as much as I might have done, sounds like a good excuse for lounging around in PJs to me

Does anyone remember when the Boots website 'updates', i.e. are this weeks offers already on or does it swap over tonight? I just wanted to check for new offers before I made an order.

Been off the radar the last couple of weeks so finally caught up over the last few days. Val your tights tale did make me giggle! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

After a bad start to the month, I've been very good challenge-wise the last few weeks and the UU have finally caught up the IN and I'm breaking even at the moment, hoping to finish the month with a small advantage - can't think of many splutterers though, may need to target some sachets and one-use items.

UU to declare:
E45 Nourish and Restore Lotion
Vichy Liftactiv Serum 10 Eyes and Lashes - Not sure what this does but was nicer than the face version, got one or two more sachets to use if I can find them!
Botanics All Bright Cleanser - WMBA - Hated this when I first used it but it grew on me and I never had any breakouts while this was in use - good price but no brightening quality whatsoever for me.
S&G The Righteous Butter - WNBA - don't hate it but not a massive fan of this, got a full size on the go that's definitely going to be on my Project Pan for Nov
Batiste Deep & Dark Brown - WMBA - used to consider this a HG but its still a bit too light for my hair and I get that white effect unless I rub it in really well, as I wash my hair every other day, I don't really have cause to use this much
Tesco Skin Wisdom Resurfacing Exfoliator - WBA but sadly I've got a feeling you probably can't get this, was very fine but very scrubby, said it contained Rose Quartz, really good with no irritation to my fussy skin
Finally, TBS Raspberry Shower Gel - WBA - Love this fragrance and love TBS shower gels in general, they seem to last me longer than other makes as lather well so I use less - this is probably around a month for this 250ml bottle for daily shower for me and several times a week OH as I suspect he probably uses this and not his own. Got a couple more varieties in the stash but think I'll move onto a soap next for a change

Used everything I said I was going to target this month but it fairness it was a fairly easy challenge as they only had a few uses left each so I'll be a bit more ambitious for November.

Hope everyone is well, feel good I'm finally updated!! :A

Uus: BS White Musk shower gel. WIBA ? Maybe if it's on offer, nice smelling fragrance and it foams on really nicely without irritating my skin.

Nair hair removal cream

Pink Friday Nikki Minaj perfume sample. Surprisingly pleasant smell but can't bring myself to buy it due to the celebrity.

Ins: MUA Bronze eyeshadow. haven' used it yet but can't go wrong at 1 quid.

Are you not a Nikki Minaj fan then? I sometimes feel like the only person in the world who does not have an obsession with celebrities.

Weleda Sea Buckthorn body lotion - just a mini from a beauty box, I WNBA, there is nothing wrong with it but I'm sure it will be pricey compared to other things I prefer, it also has a very sweet, sherbet fragrance.
