No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2016

mcculloch29

I tied my rollator (walker with wheels) to the back of my trike so that I could walk around those shops locally that don't have trolleys for me to lean on. This meant I could access shops I haven't looked in for a while. Walking just with sticks for support is very tiring and painful for me and cycling in shops isn't allowed (shame!).

I had fun spending my £25 Love to Shop prize draw win in Select, and then had a quick look around Poundworld as I needed some shower gel ( down to 1 bottle and 2 lots of near - dregs).

They had lots of Original Sources, although not lavender, which was what I was really hoping for, I love it for summer, along with anything fruity or floral.

So my IN was Blackcurrant and Moringa Moisturising Shower.

I could have had Cherry and Jojoba, or Raspberry and Cocoa (smells just like a Raspberry Ruffle bar, but novelty wore off last time) Plum and something else, plus the usual suspects of lime, lemon, raspberry and vanilla, mint and tea tree etc.

The Original Source usual suspects shower gels are currently 95p in Wilkos, btw.

fixx- I had the M&S summer beauty box last year, it looks even better this time but I won't be bothering.

VALM - hope Emma gets through her exams without too much stress.

And - I'm not keen on Original Source shower gels, they seem really gelatinous and gloopy and we go through them so much quicker than anything else but I know you love them so wonder if it's just me.

UU 3- Seche vite top coat - WBA this is my top coat of choice

UU 4 - Loreal colour riche nail polish in flashing lilac 5ml - painted my nails with this today to use it up.
Bought it last year and as it's a small bottle doesn't last long, like the colour, formula is a bit thin though so takes 3 coats at least

My boyfriend has a row of them, about 16, arranged by the shower in colour spectrum order! Every time I find a new flavour I HAVE to get it for him (only if it's on offer of course :money:)

We were in a pound shop in Reading a few weeks ago and he found FOUR new flavours in there, so he bought those super-quick! His housemate was exasperated "He doesn't NEED ANY MORE!"

Of course I replied the only way I could....

"What's 'NEED' got to do with it?!" :rotfl:

kadison - he's had it now he's with another toiletries hoarder:D

I have two uu's

Lancome Hydrating Toner 50ml - WNBA, this is the last of my GWP mini's, there is nothing special about this.

Original Source Orange & Cinnamon Shower Gel 250ml - smells nice but got used up super quick, WNBA.

TBH that's the only toiletry he hoards! With him it's his large and ever-growing collection of OS maps, CDs and various old computers including monitors :eek: We all have our weeknesses don't we?:rotfl:

Hello all -

I've failed miserably the beginning of June and didn't join in this month as I went on a shopping binge. So now I'm feeling super guilty and trying to make sense of the mayhem, but I thought better late than never so I hope I can join in this month!

I'm going to have a good look at all my stash yet again and see what I can UU right away, GA right away and what I can sell.

At last the Smashbox Illume lip gloss has gone. I have decided thought that I'm not taking the stoppers out of any more of them as it has made a real mess of my handbag.

VALM - taking the stopper out is messy I agree, you get so much product on the wand you have to try and remove some before you apply.

Another UU from the PP list:

Garnier Micellar Water - travel size - I love this. I've been using it a lot more in the recent hot weather, it cools my face down. Now using the regular size one of this.

It's only the 10th, but things feel to be going slowly this month. I'm looking forward to some cooler weather as prolonged heat makes me feel exhausted. Together with increased pain that my regular (and strong!) painkiller isn't touching, I feel a bit yuck.

So yuck that I almost did a Lush order ..... :eek: I stopped myself at the last minute ... and did a Hobbycraft one instead
