No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2014
Comments
-
A!di have some goodies on next Thursday's Specialbuys, the one that really caught my eye was a hyaluronic gel, 30ml for £6.99. The Multi Intensive serum that I love using isn't really a serum but more of a light lotion, that nevertheless does the trick, but this is definitely a serum.
The make up is back as well, including the lipsticks. I lost my A!di favourite when my handbag was nicked in June, though it looks as if the packaging has changed so these may not be the same as the old stock.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...

Does this 'plump' up hair? I have really fine, flat hair and this sounds ideal.

Ooh I've finally flicked through Marie Claire and found the L'Occitane offer, think I might have an IN tomorrow when I toddle off down town and buy something to get my 'free' gift then ops.Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
Hi ladies!
Right, I have had some ins, some outs and several shake it all abouts!
INs:
I needed more face moisturiser so I went to my local TBS outlet and bought 4 at once to save 40%. I bought:
2 x Vitamin E Illuminating Face Moisturiser
1 x Vitamin E Night Cream (1st time try)
1 x Vitamin E SPF15 Moisture Lotion (1st time try)
OUT:
1 x Dry Shampoo (WBA and desperately need it)1 x HM soap
1 x Sanctuary Heel Balm (LOVE this: HG but quite expensive for a fairly bottle - Nivea blue isn't that far behind it in term so effect and you can get a huge tub for that £2.99 instead of £7.00)
So that's it for now. Hugs and kisses to those who need them and a waggy finger for the inhabitants of the naughty step, too!
Please call me 'Pickle'

I do have two very small perfume sample (one use wipe type) INs. I was sent two of the same one for some reason. It's Hugo Boss Ma Vie EDP. I don't mind free perfume though
will use these up this week.
Two more small UUs - Dermalogica Clear Start face wash sample sachet and an oil clearing moisturiser sample sachet too. Both seem quite nice from what I've seen. The moisturiser has an intriguing smell though, not too sure if I like it or not.0 -
hieveryone - I love the PK Body Building Shampoo, I use it with the Moisture Balancing conditioner and it really makes my fine hair feel lovely and soft but bouncy too. I also like Aveda Rosemary Mint which works well on fine hair.
I washed my hair yesterday and tried out the new UG things I got and my hair feels horrific today, the range is supposed to stop frizz but my hair is totally dry and crackly, frizzy and doesn't have one single defined curl - money well spent then eh:eek:.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Morning everyone! Have a couple of UU's to report:
L'oreal Everpure Shampoo - WBA, I like a lot of the Ever range because it's SLS free
Dove Oil Care Treatment Conditioner - This used to be a HG but now I'm not so sure. Have bought the Intense treatment one to use as a hair mask.
Have a few In's to report to:
- Ogx Macadamia Shampoo
- Ogx Macadamia Conditioner
- TBS Peppermint Foot scrub
- TBS Chamomile Cleansing Oil
- TBS Peach shower gel
- TBS Peach Body butter
- TBS Chocomania shower gel
- TBS Chocomania body butter
Everything apart from the shower gel and body butters were necessary. But now I think I won't have to buy shower gel next year!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -
Just started to go through my makeup drawers to see if there's anything needing to be chucked and I've found two no7 mascaras that are due to go. So that's another 2 items out the door
Going to make a concerted effort to start using up my makeup items too, as I have so much to use up!0 -
Know this isn't really a question under this subject but I know I can rely on you girls to help give me an answer.
I need to find something to do my bikini line. I have stopped using the razor (Gillette) that I use for my legs and armpits as I just get a red, itchy rash. I am contemplating going for a wax but have never been waxed before and don't know if this is the answer. I have noticed whilst doing my online shopping with Tesco that the Wilkinson Sword Bikini shaver is half price and not sure whether to give it a go as it would work out cheaper than waxing but don't want the same results as using my Gillette.
Can anyone recommend anything?Did owe £9,951.96
Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j
