No buying new toiletries etc until.....

freyasmum

Well I was in boots today and I got the protect and perfect cream. The one I have just isn't working atm and the sample I had of that made my skin look much better, so it was a very justifiable purchase (:A;)). Will use the stuff that I have now in the summer, when I don't need such a heavy product.

Had 2 x £5 off No7 vouchers and 2 x 250 points when you buy any No7 product (came with the freebie that I found the p&p cream in!)

Got:
2 x moisturiser 20.50
1 x intense serum 19.50(ish)
It's on 342 atm, minus the £5 voucher and the 250 points. Ended up spending £36.

Also got the hot cloth cleanser that I saw recommended recently (don't worry, I'm low on cleanser ). It's £8.75 - minus £5 voucher and 250 points. There is loads of it - it should last me for ages!


Good news - didn't even peek at the sale :A

The bad news is... I forgot to take the pedicure set back :eek: Might nip back down tomorrow and take them back then.

Oh, more bad news - my fave fake tan (the spray sublime bronze) was back up to a tenner so I didn't get any

*Vikki*

I currently have my small bottle of perfume with me at work now, keep topping myself up with it throughout the day to start using it all more

I'm working my way through my bodyshop stash, have finished off white musk shower gel but unfortunately thanks to the grabbit board :mad: I've invested in two bodyhop sparkly eyeliners and got a free mascara thrown in all for £1.80 impossible to resist. Dunno whether to save these for gifts, keep them for me or ebay them for a quick profit. :rolleyes:

Unless you've used up all your eyeliners and mascaras (or one spare and using one) then... As they say in the City,SELL, SELL, SELL!!!

Which Occitane hand cream did you have completelylost?

Im starting to think Boots itself as a destination is a "problem area" :eek:

I might try to not go in - even for the "basics" often I buy toothpaste in pound shops anyway or home bargains. I only ever buy toiletries and diet coke in boots. I do find HB great for toiletries Im going next week, can I control myself :eek:

anyone else here a HB'er?

Today I:
- gave the bare essentials bronzer and foundation to charity. Lots still in there but both are just too much bother to use, especially the foundation as its the wrong colour! Doh! I know what the person above means about looking ghostly with certain colours!
- found my other make up bag. It has my beloved Clinique bronzing brush, I could have kissed it when I found it and other favourites.
- found 4 more soaps.
- found more skincare (Clarins) and kinda my favourite so will definitely not be opening that til I've used lots of other stuff.
- agree with the tip about adding lavender oil to bath products. I'm doing that with a rather uninspiring (its called Inspire) bath bubble from M&S.
- am focusing on using 1 lipgloss. Crikey its hard going. I have had to remove all others from my bag so that I use it. I dont think I have ever fully used up a lipgloss...:rolleyes:
- am daydreaming about going to Cheshire Oaks outlet- they have a really good beauty shop there which does expensive brands at really good prices. Ah, one day Cheshire Oaks I will be back with empty cupboards and a longing heart!
- the champneys miracle body butter is gorgeous - someone mentioned it above - it won an award in the beauty bible too. I have a pot (opened of course) which I will get to after Ive climbed the everest of Nivea and M&S amongst others! Or maybe I should let myself use the good stuff at weekends...

I still haven't bought anything this month - I am going to try not to go to Lush this weekend, as the sale ends and I will be tempted! I finished a lipbalm the other day - I rarely finish them so I was very pleased!

Agree about that champneys miracle body butter is gorgeous. Good stuff at the weekends is a good idea:T:TNo, better use all my Marks stuff first, then Body Shop, Lush, Green People. I don't think it will ever end.:rotfl::rotfl:

Tell you what, go into your stores/stash, get any lush stuff you have- put it all in a paper bag, walk around with it for a bit. Take it out, look at it, add up what it cost you then put the same cash into savings :beer:

it might work :rolleyes:

I definitely need to work on finishing body butters, lip balms and lip glosses, I don't think I've ever finished a lip balm
