No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2014

dolly84

Welcome city-girl & Lillmiss.

Rosemary - you have my sympathy with your tooth.

I have a uu

Body Shop Aloe Cleanser - 200ml, WBA, really lovely, creamy and non irritating. I have replaced it with another bottle as I originally bought 2 and 1 toner.

Yesterday I had a NPI in Boots, I was looking at the new S&G Orange shower gel and body butter, it smells amazing, just like Clarins Eau Dynamisante which I love, it was on 3 for 2 as usual and I have enough points to pay for it. I have tons of stuff in the stash but thought for summer it would be nice to use with my Clarins spray. I may still get it.

Welcome to all the new people here - this is such a friendly and supportive thread

Hope people are starting to feel better and that the sun is shining wherever you may be.

Glad you had a good holiday fiasco, sounds lovely.

Thanks for the facial sunscreen recommendations kadison and dazedandconfused will definitely give those a try. I need something that doesn't make my skin oily and that I can apply make up on top of - the Soap and Glory one is so rubbish!

Willowbee - yes I certainly wouldn't recommend it! I had read good reviews too but I guess we are all different. I have acne prone combination skin, not mega oily but oily t-zone and chin. The Soap and Glory sun cream just makes me whole face shiny and it feels tacky/sticky. It doesn't smell of sun cream much and it is slightly tinted so you don't get left with white marks - they are the only positives about it in my opinion though!! I tried it out again this morning and put a bit less on. Was slightly better but I am still shiny after putting make up on over the top!!

Thanks for all the welcomes everyone!

I was hoping today would be the last of my Molton Brown shower gel but it's still spluttering...it is a lovely smell though but once you've got your heart set on something running out it's annoying when it keeps going!
My next shower gel is the S&G foam call and I can't decide if I like the smell or not :-/ it's rather large so I think i'm going to get bored very quickly with this one.

Heading to TK Maxx this afternoon so i'll try to stay away from the toiletries section...it's often very good at my local store which hasn't helped the UU cause!

Enjoy the weather everyone x

Bonus time you say? Oh where at? I just had a google and could only see the Harv Nics one which finishes today? I too am trying to have a frugal month and I really need to get some stuff on Ebay that's been sitting around in the cupboard for the past few months as I want to buy a steam mop (oh the exciting life I lead now with 2 small children!).

I got a card through the post from Clinique. It says to look at their website for co-operating stores. I thought it would be online as well but it seems not. Running from 7-22 June.

Just because I seen it above lol yes Noriko was seasonal and not a great seller in our store so not sure it will be back - it was last out 10 yrs ago!

Welcome back LilMissEmmylou.

Not very happy with Lush if they are keeping stock for 10 years to sell in the online Jan sale. x

I bobbed into TK Maxx yesterday and they had some OPI and Maureen Dabbs that I would have succumbed to buying had I had my VISA card with me. So, am glad I didn't.

I did buy a copy of Marie Clare for Emma for the free Ciate nail polishes. Also picked up a copy of Glamor for the Eyeko eyeliner.

Have had 2 UUs today:-

OS Raspberry Milkshake ? handwash. WNBA. Made my hands dry and smelt synthetic. Have opened one that I bought at a garden centre a couple of weekends ago. Can't remember the brand name. Something to do with "frog".

LE C&P. Ready for my new one arriving. x

Whats your scalp normally like Sam? It might not smell great but soak and float is great if you have a sensitive/irritated scalp or flakey scalp

never tried the bars for washing clothes! I do have a jumping juniper and a godiva i need to use up though so might give it a try!!

I don't get on with any lush shampoo bars I find them far too harsh and I have tried 6 or 7 different ones including soak and float. I do have some gentle lentil which is the only one that my scalp can tolerate but as with anything I like lush tend to discontinue them.

I get an itchy scalp and use oils such as coconut and caster oil weekly to stop myself scratching my scalp off. I think most of it is due to the high level of SLS in them. They are great for hand washing and they last well. I don't think I would use Godiva due to the cocoa butter could leave greasy marks on your clothes.

Is Godiva one of the shampoo and conditioner ones? If so I used up the black one that is now discontinued that I can't remember the name of to shave my legs and it was great. Also jungle conditioner which I didn't like as a conditioner but did like as a shaving bar and also great for hard skin on your feet!

If it's for scalp issues the new bars are amazing I used them when I had alopecia.

I love jungle. I turn it into a liquid conditioner and find it works well on my hair and as shaving cream. I have one stashed ready for my holiday. How do you use it on your feet? As a lotion bar?

I work up a bit of a lather (well not that it foams but I get it good and wet) and then rub it all over the hard skin on my feet, let it soak in then rinse it off.

I found new helped massively with itching when I had hair regrowth from my alopecia. I always find regrowth really itchy,
