No buying unnecessary toiletries February 2014

CookieMonsta

Had to TA a Rimmel Stay Matte Concealer because the packaging broke and I couldn't use it - very annoying as it was brand new!

So I had to go to Superdrug to replace it and now have 3 INs to report!

IN - Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Cool Medium
IN - Maybelline Colour Tattoo eyeshadow in On and On Bronze
IN - NYC Showtime Waterproof Mascara

They are expensive about £5 a go, have you thought of using essential oils in your bath. You can mix essential oils with epsom salt, bubble bath or oil. I read that you can mix 5-7 drops of essential oils with a bubble bath or a carrier oil. There are lots of sites you can read up about in on the net. I am no expert but I love lavender and plan on trying it out but I would advise you research it first, I think i looked up "how to add essential oils to bath" and there is plenty of sites to read. I have no knowledge of cinnamon oil so you would need to research it.

Please forgive me as I have been shopping.

3 Lord of misrule bath ballistics, one of my favourite that were a seasonal release so I won't get them again, such a shame.

Mumkin bubble bar, I am just using last years so thought I would replace.

Golden egg melt/ ballistic. I wanted it, I am not a fan of the honey I washed the kids fragrance but I loved the idea of a ballisitc encased with a bath melt.

Bunch of Carrots (3 carrot shaped reusable bubble bars) I don't tend to buy the reusable bubble bars as I find the bubble don't last very well but for £5.95 for 150g of product, and the scent I thought this was one of the better value items.

Brightside bubble bar one of my favourites I love the scent of this, yes I may have another couple of them from last year but I waqnted to compare them.

I did not need any of the above but I wanted it and even the sales lady said she thought I was restrained.

6 lancome items from a GWP from boots, again I really did not think I needed it but for some strange reason I could not resist. I don't think there is much hope for me.

I don't think there is much hope for you either!!!

Thank you baby sister, I know but atleast I am going to enjoy using it.

I had Gone Girl as an audio book rather than a reader, and I really enjoyed it. I like to listen to books or podcasts when I'm working, it relieves the monotony After that I read the other two Gillian Flynn books I could find for my ereader and I have to say, they disappointed somewhat. Not bad books but not in the same league as GG. I can't see how the ending could be changed and keep its integrity!

Off topic post for me as I've no UU atm, lol

I hated the ending to this I've just finished reading it at the start of the week and was annoyed by it

5 ebay outs

UU

Original Source golden pineapple - WBA but was a LE so is no longer for sale.

seasideDreamer

UU Timotei vivid Colour shampoo

Well I just nipped over to Burt Bees, filled my shopping basket and decided I really don't need any of it freebies or not! Veyr proud of myself, I must have at least 6 lip balms anyway.

Horses for courses I guess I bought myself a Nook so I could read once DH is asleep and I love it, I've discovered Jo Nesbo and I'm really enjoying the Harry Hole books. I haven't read 'properly' for years and it's nice to get lost in a good book again.

And no UU for me either, these splutterers just keep hangin' on in there

Again......something I could have said myself! I've not read properly since my eldest was born, didn't have the time/concentration for it....she's now 8.5!

I got the kindle paperwhite and gone girl is the first book I've read on it. the book itself was good the ending was just really 'meh'. I've downloaded sharp objects but I'm currently reading Shopaholic Abroad.

Two UU for me:


Vichy Normaderm Purifying Cleansing Gel - WBA. Effective cleanser that removes make-up well, and cleanses my combination / occasionally break-out prone skin thoroughly without stripping it.

Philosophy Christmas Cookie Shower Gel - WMBA. Not one of my favourite scents from Philosophy, but it was good quality and lathered up well, as with all their shower gels.


I have quite a few "Ins" for February, as my OH bought me a Molton Brown gift set for Valentine's Day. But gifts don't count, do they....?

I suppose now I've used up a Philosophy shower gel, I should persevere with another bottle of that blooming awful Beauticology stuff. I'm alternating one bottle of that with a bottle of a nice brand.

Naughty, naughty SJ, I've just bought opi rapid top coat and unfor-greta-Bly blue and an Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream 3 piece set, they are due to arrive before the end of the month, so that's another 6 ins :eek:
