No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2014

sjprmc01

UU no 14/ Clinique take the day off for eyes and lips. WNBA. It's never been 'bought' by me in the first place, it's always been a freebie or part of a set. Not particularly impressed with it as it's quite greasy (used it as a whole face cleanser, not just eyes and lips as it would never have gotten used) wouldn't go out of my way to purchase his but no doubt will end up with some more as a 'freebie' as I often buy Clinique

My friend just unherited a turtoise - I bet she has no idea how old they can get! I'll tell her to take it to the allotment!

tortoises are such lovely creatures, my mum gave me the book timothy the tortoise for christmas a couple of years ago, it was about the oldest tortoise in britian, (well he was till he died)
mines only a baby by comparision hes about 8 year old

happygreen i hope you are joking (im sure you are) but if she really doesnt want it there are societies that rehome them. but they are like gold dust unlike when i was a kid and everywhere sold imported ones

Hello ladies,
I've been MIA this month, but still following along.
Sorry to hear about burglaries and loved ones passing away.
I love the sound of the tortoise though, cheeky monkey!

Trying to remember what I have declared, and what I haven't...

3 INs in the form of my Avon argan oil order:
Argan oil shampoo
Argan oil conditioner
Argan oil hot oil treatment

UU:
Suddenly perfume from Lidl. I liked this, it doesn't last long but for the offer price of £1.99, you can spray a bit more than usual. Have one more in the stash.

Soap and glory clean on me 500ml. Yay, this was the longest LHJ. I do like it, just 500ml is a bit much.

Boots extracts cocoa butter body wash 250ml This is nice, nothing that special though, still have some minis in the stash.

Lush rose jam shower gel 250ml This is yummy! One more large 500ml in the stash, hoping it doesn't go the way of the LHJ S&G

Balance me toning? body wash 100ml. Free in a mag last year. Wouldn't buy this again, had an interesting herbally smell to begin with, not bad, but after being opened and left for a few days it smelled awful. I couldn't bear to use it, I had to squeeze the last bit down the drain.

An unloved soap used in the washing machine. Did a fine job of the outdoors stuff.

I think that's all for now. I have a shampoo and bubble bath on the way out this weekend, and a moisturiser to cut open!

Have a good day all.

UU no 15/ a lush bath bomb from Christmas time it had shooting stars on it, it was 'ok' nothing special so probably WNBA.

I'm going on hols on Sun and I have a dilemma- do I take 'minis' to UU when away or do I stick with things I know I like? Hmmmmm

Sorry your June had been a bit poo too, KT! Just three more days to plough through

I have a couple of NBIs

IN #49: Chanel Chance EDT 100ml
IN #50: Gucci Flora EDP 75ml

Gifted to me by a very generous client, these have both been used a few times but she says she has far too many perfumes. Feeling very lucky! I was going to ask DH to buy me a new smell for my birthday next month but I think I'll drop hints about the biggest size of EL Advanced Night Repair instead

DS2 held a tortoise today It's the pet of a (different) client, he's called Flash and my son was very impressed; just waiting for the "…when the hamsters die…" question from him!

sjp, I'm going to say no to minis and yes to tried and trusted products. When we went on honeymoon I took a mini of a different hair styling product and I hated it, I felt as though I was walking around with crap hair every day I wouldn't be too bothered about shower gel etc but I'll definitely be taking my favourite shampoo, condish and styling products, plus some Rituals body butter when we go back to Dubai in October.

Oh dear.


I started looking at EL ANR just to see how much the 50ml was; they had £5 off 30ml OR you could get a gift pack with 30ml plus the travel sizes of Advanced Time Zone moisturiser and eye cream for £48. Spending £50 meant 4 free samples at checkout and buying two items meant a gift so I also ordered the Sumptuous Extreme mascara gift pack which comes with a ten-day sample of ANR eye cream and 30ml of eyemake up remover.


Free gift consists of an ANR sample, lipstick, lip gloss, moisturiser 15ml and mini mascara. Plus I have the four samples I chose, and a perfume sample and a "perfumery gift bag" (whatever that is) on its way to me too.


So that's 18+ items. But in my defence it was only £70?!

Mrs-MP, if I'd known you were coming, I'd've brought wine!

I'm so jealous love love love Chanel chance

I've got a couple of ins
Maybelline brow drama mascara in dark blonde
I have nearly finished my maybelline brow pencil which is why I bought the other. Am on the fence about the pencil as the colour is just right for me got a hint of red, I have strawberry blonde hair but naturally really pale very light blonde brows. However it's too soft and you use it so quickly as the pencil constantly breaks.

I like the colour of the brow drama but mine seems very dry and I'm sure I don't have the full amount of product in there. Maybe I have been sold a duff tube.

Maybelline big eyes mascara - yes it was buy one get one half price. On maybelline. This is great the waterproof is actually waterproof and there is a brush for your lower lashes.

This is on par to my Barry M But with the added plus of the lower lash brush I think so if it's on offer I would get again but it would have to be a better price as lash Vegas is £6.50.

If you use the clinique lower lash one this is worth a try as it is much much cheaper
