No buying new toiletries etc until.....

Caramac

I have finished a Body Shop Shea Butter body lotion, almost finished some Boots natural almond soap I got from a gift set a couple of Christmases ago and am slowly working my way through various travel size bath/shower gels I have accumulated.

I am getting very tempted by a Sanctuary eau de toilette and body lotion set in Boots that is half price. I have resisted so far but have decided that if I find it when Boots reduce their gift sets by 75% I will buy it BUT I will not actively go looking.

Next on the list to be used is the contents of a Burts Bees sample set.

I have also sorted out some shampoo that I bought my daughter on BOGOF and she then decided she didn't like to take to a local homeless charity. I will also go through some of my hand and body lotions to see if there is anything else I will never use to take as well.

Afternoon girlies

Happy belated birthday hollyh and jewelry fan!

OH fell asleep last night at 9pm so I sneaked off upstairs for a pamper session... I am now all lovely and tanned with gorgeous red nails and my hair is all bouncy and shinny yippppeeeeeee!!!

My cleanser is getting dangerously low... think I will try and use up the Vichy and No7 I have before buying another pot of Eve Lom- then I should be back onto the Eve Lom before the wedding!

Talking about Vichy- has anyone else ever used it? Normally when I tell people I use it they look all puzzled! It's absolutely amazing-- I can't belive it's not caught on very well here.

The Olay mouse I bought from £land is AMAZING! I sooooo want to go back and buy more but I'll resist. Bought some cotton wool yesterday 53p so hardly earth shattering! Walked around boots and didn't even pick one thing up... I think realising how beautiful my own stash has given me the power of resistance (almost)!

Big hugs

I've just tallied up what I've used and what I have spent and it looks bad.

Fortunately the money I have spent is on things where I didn't have surplus and the things I have used is where I have had a surplus, which is really what the point of this is for me.

Wow, this is why ive decide to put £2 in the pot for every product i use, cause i couldn't afford to put what the product is worth in the pot without budgeting it in:o.

Really loving the clinique deep comfort moisture, will have to wait almost a year before i actually need to buy body cream/lotion etc:o.

I've saved about £80:eek::eek: by not buying Christmas presents at Lush for myself and a friend. Her present came from my stash:j:j(Lush bath bombs, Champneys bath milk, Marks hand cream and shower gel and some scented candles)

Hi everyone,
My lips are feeling really dry and have been using the body shops lip buffer and its nearly finished, though im not too sure this is that great. Used to use lip lift by gale hayman and its a bit expensive so has anyone got anything they use that does not taste funny and moisturises lips?

We have a few on the go at the moment :rolleyes:

Ive got a nivea lip balm this has got a bit of shimmer in it ( ok as a gloss, not great as a balm IMO)

Vaseline ( in small tin) we all know what this does, exactlywhat its meant to - this has definately combated the worst effects of the cold for us

And next to the bed we have No7 Deeply moisturising lipcare. Not sure if they still do it, this has been sitting about a while :rolleyes: but its really nice stuff.

It's partly to make sure that I don't buy the stuff again. You may have noticed that I'm a bit daft :A
