No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2015

    I bought the Veet at homespa wax kit. Works really well!! Used twice now on different areas. Surprisingly easy to DIY. I'm a first timer DIY!

    I won't really count that in my numbers because it's a piece of kit that I can use for a really long time, and with any brand wax apparently.

    Razor blades x6 - I will always shave parts rather than wax / epilate just because it's so quick and painless in the shower. But more to my stash, filling up my basket.

    Geneva guild mini showergel - sovenir from a spa hotel stay.

    Rimmel stay matte powder - wanted a translucent powder
    Rimmel Kate nude collection in 48 - really glad I got this shade, it's gorgeous on!!
    Lancome Hypnose Star mascara - my current mascara is getting dry, I can eek it out for bottom lashes and daytime wear but it's not got the zazz it used to have
  • Still ploughing on with all my current products though - it's taking forever, not only is everything now full size (with exception of the mini showergel), but some of my bottles are giant-sized and lasting years :(

    Definitely need to remember that although big bottles might be good value, it's only good value if you actually want to use the same thing for 5 years AND it's only good if you actually know you like it already...

    Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I thought the ladies/gents in the know here may be best placed to help.

    I've just discovered rather late in the day that Naked products are no longer available :(. Naked curls taming cream was my saviour and I'm down to the last tube :doh:. Any ideas on nearest equivalents which won't cost the earth?
    Free thinker.:cool:
