No buying unneccessary toiletries May 2014.

Back again:
UU:
TBS coconut shower cream 60ml. I love the scent of this but it's so thick! Maybe buy again.

Norfolk lavender soap. This was nice, scent faded though. One more in stash.

L'oreal ever riche shampoo sample sachet. Handy for staying away, but I wouldn't buy it.

Garnier 7day intensive lotion cocoa butter sample sachet. I really like this, smells delicious and makes skin nice and soft. Have a few more if these in stash for staying away.

Boots essentials cucumber face wash. This was nice enough. Nothing totally amazing.

INs:
Nip+fix dry leg fix 100ml. Free with cosmopolitan magazine. I had a voucher to get the mag for £1. Keeping the magazine for the plane on Sunday. Off on my holidays!

Sanctuary salt scrub sachet. Free with b00ts points
John Frieda intensive conditioner sachet, also free with points.
Both are in/outs within the next week.

Sam.4000 - I'm fighting the urge to buy a second YOU beauty box. It's surprisingly strong! Special offers are my achilles heel. I keep reminding myself how long it would take me to get through the Dr Organic hair oil and that is working for now...;)

Hi All,

Misplaced my journal that I record IN/UU as I go but just found it under the sofa :T Caught up on the last few days on the thread, been caught up in work stuff so much lately. Having a day of variously decluttering and catching up with tv off the planner while OH is off doing his jobs.

I've a few more IN but nothing outrageous - managed to save a few pennies last month and hoping to carry on in the same vein for a holiday later in the year:
Sure Cotton Ultra Dry roll on deo x 2 £1 each on offer in Tesco I think it was, HG and I find this variant most effective, some of the others are not as effective and sometimes I need to reapply. None stashed so totally acceptable!
Original Source Coconut Shower Cream - again on offer in Tesco, half price I think, I adore anything coconut fragranced. Think I was down to one shower gel in use and one in the stash before this so again not ridiculous by any means.

Four UU and still a few splutterers to go too:
L'oreal Eversleek Conditioner - happily use again but Everpure edges it for me.
Palmolive Mediterranean Moments Moroccan Shower Cream - WBA but in a different fragrance as this one was nice in the bottle but I found it a bit overpowering in use.
Botanics Organic Cleanser - WMBA - lasted ages and cheap too but nothing outstanding and reminds me of salad cream due to the colour...:o
Elemis Skin Nourishing Shower Cream - Love this, the fragrance is somehow comforting and it leaves my skin very soft. A treat to use

Hi ladies.

1 more UU : Lush Ponche shower gel. Not a winner. The colour was very offputting and reminded me of Lucozade. Lucozade in turn reminds me of being ill as a child as it's the only time my Mum bought Lucozade. I bought this bottle on the Jan online sale so hadn't smelt it beforehand.

Have now opened a pack of Lush Noriko soap which smells nicer.

So I ended up going into Manchester yesterday with Emma for school shoes (she only has about a month and half left in school however her present pair looked shocking!). Went to Primark as the chances are she will not wear "school shoes" once she is at college in September. Also bought some work out wear for her as we plan to join a Zumba class on Thursday evenings. She needs to get back into some form of exercise as she's given up her karate whilst doing her GCSEs. I have started the Biggest Loser 6 week challenge (started last week) but am looking for something more "fun" to do as well.

We then wandered into TK Maxx where I found a shelf full of St Tropez and Fake Bake products. Came away with 2 x tubes of Wash off Tan. Went into Lush and I was very good and bought nothing. We then wandered into Boots which is never a good idea!
Let Emma talk me into buying a Bumble and Bumble gift set which earned me a No 7 voucher. Had a mooch around there and bought a lip stain for me plus a lip liner for Emma (buy one get one half price) which earned me another voucher at which point I wanted to exit quickly.

I also bought 3 x bottles of Aussie shampoo from ASDA yesterday but in my defence will need this shortly as am near the end of the Garnier one I'm using. Can't remember the name of the actual shampoo but it's from the new range. Have told Emma that from now on am not buying anything other than Aussie cos nothing seems to compare. (but then I got talked into the Bumble and Bumble stuff - sigh!).

You are doing very well, it was the elemis and l'occitane that did it for me and if I had bought those separately I would have paid the same and not got the extras. I know special offers are the reason I have so much stuff. But I did go into lush today and only came out with a few bits for a present for someone so cellotaping the shopping pixies to the naughty step seems to be working for now.:D

UU no 10/ Vaseline intensive care spray deo. WNBA. Didn't really like the smell although may have more in the stash

UU no 11/ the Marc Jacobs dot perfume I'd decanted into an atomiser (from PP list) although I still have more dot perfume in its original bottle to UU

mcculloch29

Two ins for my b'day the other day, some Garnier facial wipe pads and some Nivea Soft all-purpose cream.
One UU from the PP list, the 15ml Aldi Lacura Renew Eye Cream. This is the one in the pump pot.
WIBA? Absolutely, though I will probably go for the mature variety next time...if I can get it. I have a nagging feeling that it wasn't in stock the last time I looked, and it's gone from the products list online.
This is a really top quality cream for the price, I've been using it as a lip cream as well, and I feel it's doing the trick.

So so so naughty... My glossy box arrived (a good one this month) so plus 6 items.

Then those shopping Pixies bought the Naked 3 pallet and also a bottle of Elie Saab intense.

So, May.

29 ins (lucky I don't count nail polish and deodorant)

1 used up.


I am beyond hope I fear

Belated birthday wishes Mcculloch - hope you had a fantastic day.

Thanks for the advice regarding the primark polish wipes pixitotts - I dont live near a primark but will pick some up next time I visit.

Outs:

Elemis 7 days bliss capsules - WBA whilst my skin is still getting spots they appear to not be as sore and are healing quicker.

75ml Rituals cherry blossom and rice bran body butter - WNBA really nice body butter but there are others I prefer.

10ml Weleda sea buckthorn body oil. WNBA there are other body products I prefer.

Aptiva white grape firming face pack - WBA this was lovely to use - dont think it firmed much though.

However epic ins:

3 x Sure max protection cream deo - am on my last one so required on 3 for 2 and HG.

2 x Radox refresh shower gel - DH HG and he hasnt much left.

Garnier face wash - DD uses this.

Johnsons face wash - on clearance in Superdrug - hope DD will like this as much as the Garnier.

2 x L'oreal everstrong shampoo - am on the last one, on offer and current HG.

1 x Cutex nail polish remover.


I am trying to resist the urge to buy the Estee Lauder clear difference blemish serum. Ive never tried EL skincare before but its calling to me - will attempt to sit on my hands for a while.
