No buying unnecessary toiletries July 2014

InaPickle

Hi all! :wave:


I have another UU! Champney's Citrus Blush Body Scrub (200g).

WIBA? I'm not sure that I would. It smells nice enough, but nothing amazing, has that slimy 'moisturising' feeling about it, but TBH it feels very salty/sugary and I'm sure that I could make something similar with some salt, a bit of olive oil and a few drops of my favourite essential oil that would probably feel just as good, if not better, and cost a fraction of the £8.00 this costs (£10.00 for the same size but different fragrances).


I feel the same about the S&G ones as well. They really just aren't all that!


Hope you are all well. xxx

UU Wilko fruity berry shower smoothie not bad, just wish my moisturisers were getting as much use as my shower gels!

Been away for ages but some UU's

REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask - WBA, HG, already repurchased

Nivea - a Micellar water they brought out, nothing special, prefer Bioderma or the Garnier version at a push. WNBA

Rituals Yogi Flow Indian Rose & Sweet Almond Oil Shower Gel - WMBA - I really enjoyed it but its expensive. Plenty of other gels in the stash.

Boots Smooth Care Shave Gel - WBA nothing special, bought a men's one this time as it was cheaper.

Dove Hair Therapy Colour Radiance Conditioner - WMBA not sure it did anything amazing.

L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Intensive Conditioner - WMBA quite liked this.

well fed up as DD said my tooth is broken and cannot be saved so he is going to take it out next Friday
no mention of a replacement but having now read all about implants I don,t think I will be getting one(even supposing I could afford one)

Hi All,

I am still here, even if it's mainly in spirit only at the moment! The challenge is actually going really well this month, mainly due to some serious belt tightening!! Also hit quite a milestone in properly graduating from shower gel/soap - one of the biggest sections of the original stash!

A few small IN:
Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control face scrub - I noticed my skin was feeling very bumpy and unusually uneven, not full blown spots but not great either. This has worked a dream in the space of a week and was a great price on offer in Tesco.
Nip + Fab Sugared Almond Shower Gel - brought over from my gift stash
Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter Shower Cream - again, from gift stash
Creightons Vanilla & Macdamia Shower Cocoon - felt justifiable!

UU:
Boots Extracts Cranberry Body Butter - lovely texture but not my favourite variant
Elemis PCMC - one more small tube in stash, not going to replace after that until I've used what else I've got as can't justify at the min
St Tropez Body Polisher - nice but too fine in my opinion
Loreal Everpure Shampoo - replaced from stash - our Boots however has strangely stopped stocking any of the Ever range which is annoying! Will probably stock up soon on an online order while it's half price at the moment as it's one of my HG
S & G Foam Call - nice and lathering but quite an odd fruity fragrance, wouldn't buy but would happily use again if gifted

That's me other than to report I've discovered a great cheapy dupe for Boi-ing which is 17 Phwoarr Paint - for me every bit as good and at only £5.49 pretty much exactly a third of the price of the benefit one. :money:

Hope everyone is ok xx

Evening ladies. Hope people have had lovely weekends away.

I am really struggling to keep up with everything at the moment. Work is so busy and then I am also really busy outside of work. Feel like I never get any time to relax or get some proper sleep!! In need of some time off.

Sorry to hear about your tooth rosemary, sounds really painful and must be so frustrating and upsetting as you have had all that work done on it.

Well done on the shower gel/soap graduation emsjune, that's impressive!

Not really bought any unnecessary toiletries or make up for a few weeks - this is good progress for me :rotfl:

Have got loads of things spluttering and annoyingly it's all things that I don't have any others of in the stash. Good because I don't have to use things that I don't want to use but bad because it means I need to go and spend some money. Don't know when I am going to find the time to go and get the stuff - I need it asap so would prefer to not order online.

Just tried out one of the newer barry m gelly nail paints in the colour coconut. It seems a lot thinner in consistency than the other ones I have tried and was harder to apply. Not sure if it's just this colour? Needless to say, the application looks pretty shoddy. Good job it's just on my toenails.

1 UU -

131: Super Facialist Deep Clean Pore Purifying Clay Mask 125ml - probably still some left in this but couldn't face cutting it open and nothing was coming out of the tube at all. Have replaced with the newer version of this mask which appears to be exactly the same thing!

Hello again laaaaadies!

Right, I hope this doesn't count as enabling and it's not a repeat (I've looked back on the last page but not any more as I could go forever!) as this certainly counts as :money:, but John Lewis have got the following small storage units for sale at £5 (were £20). Clearly, that's a bit of a bargain in anyone's books, so if you were looking for somewhere to put your stash, this may help.

Linky to autumngirls post (thanks autumngirl!) as she says something about the dimensions being a bit different in her post:

Hope that helps someone:

Rosemary: sorry to hear about your poorly peggy-weg. That sucks.

Roguey: how's things with your mum?
