No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2013

minicooper272

Oh my word! I think I need to leave this challenge - you are all tempting me so much!!! I didn't know there was such a things as a beauty advent calendar, now I'm trying to figure out which one I'd prefer :rotfl: I definitely don't need 24 beauty items... UNLESS I maybe super-surge my way through 24 items this month to make room......

Have however printed off my Body Shop £30 voucher, and will probably try to use some of it to buy Christmas presents for my sister.

First in of the month. The Dior Secret Admirer box arrived.

It's awesome this month if you are a nail person. The Diorific Vernis Jewel manicure Duo. Beautiful presentation but wasted on me. I think it will be a Christmas present, if I can figure out who would appreciate it!

i just looked this up online, that box sounds like my idea of heaven! (prob why I'm in this mess though, i can't resist Dior!)

I just watched an unboxing on YouTube and now really want these boxes (and I REALLY don't need more makeup)! How do you get them, from what I can see online it's through an auction?!

Every October, Dior has an auction to raise money for Breast Cancer charities. The Secret Admirer Box is a $600 donation. It sounds a lot up front, but Dior doesn't skimp on what they send you.

This year the auction was only up for ten days, last year it was all of October.

GlossyBox died in Canada, so, I don't feel that I'm spending a huge amount. If anything it's keeping me away from the counters in the Bay and Holts. I wait to see what I'm getting. I've only ever been "meh" about one month, it was a gel top coat for nails. Other months it's been scents, mascara & lash primer, the bow palette, et.

Dior pays for the shipping and customs fees. At the start of the month a courier drops it off at the house and it's always beautifully presented.

I'm currently trying to talk myself out of the £50 Lancome Christmas box at Debs, you have to buy two products (plus theres an extra GWP with 2 items).

I don't really need 2 more Lancome products tho ( the £50 box is really good value though, I'd love the blush/bronzer and eyeshadow palettes

I've been doing the same thing all night Moromir! So tempted by it, but I don't really NEED it... x

Some more UU:

Elemis trienzyme resurfacing cleanser - WBA I like this for my second cleanse.

75ml Stella shower gel - Would happily use again (but I wish they would redesign the bottle) but wouldnt personally spend this much on a shower gel.

75ml Stella body milk - again would use again but its unlikely I would purchase at full price at the rate I go through body lotion.

So close to finishing my coconut body butter! I don't actually use this myself but I moisturise my mum's feet with it most nights

I can't take the credit - maddiemay kindly started us this month

Lots of us not planning any ins this month - I think it's because we know how naughty we're going to be next month and are trying to atone for our sins ahead of time... or is that just me?!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::o

I really must stop posting so late at night!!

Well thank maddiemay ( better late than never)
