No buying new toiletries etc until.....

lynzpower

Im not going in anywhere. Not going in body shop, not going in savers, certainly not going into boots ( altohugh the 75% sale is calling me for that pizza stone) As someone mentioned that Gok set was not that good, I might get a S&G, but def not fcuk ( not into the smell) Not ted baker ( found the samples I got cheap really stripping- felt v cheapo) not Sanctuary as I had a horrendous burning rash from the lotion ( never ever again)

I did really like the elle Mcpherson set that I got last year, all of it was used up :j I might be tempted by this to be honest if there is a good set this year.

Waitrose cinamon cakes shower cream now all gone I love that stuff it smells deeeelish. Noticed today that they also do a bath foam for the same price ( 99p) and when I need it ( not for a while :rotfl:) I will buy it.

I have replaced with Dove Green Tea and cucumber- it doesnt really smell of cucumber- good as I cannot bear the smell of it- one of my little foibles. But got it for 10p :rolleyes:

Organic care conditioner is now finished.

I spent one shiny pound on Palmolive Milk & honey conditioner yesterday. I will use up the last of the CW colorr first then wade into that.

Worked out a shower gel seems to last about 10-14 days and a conditioner lucky to last a week.

Must update sig :j I feel like Im doing really well *polishes halo*

Went to Asda last night, luckily no nspa indulgent hot butter fudge stuff.:rotfl:

Must investigate the S&G hatbox that keeps getting mentioned.:D:D

Funny you should say this - N-Spa and S&G are the two toiletry brands on my mind at the moment... mainly because they are the cause of the first spend out of my 'extra' toiletries budget. I went into Boots, also tempted to see what the S&G fuss is all about; if there'd been a £20 hat box I would've bought it (out of my 'extra' toiletries budget of £25... for the year. :rolleyes: I may have to revise that budget sometime. ) Unfortunately (or fortunately for my budget), there wasn't any left but I did buy a bottle of the reduced S&G hand wash for £2. Later on I went to Asda and, to my surprise, a couple of the N-Spa hand washes had been reduced to 50p each :eek: (RRP around £3 each) so I bought 1 of each. Total extra toiletry spend: £3. With what's already on the go, I think I've got enough bathroom and kitchen hand wash to last the rest of the year now.

It just shows how different people are - I love Gok and the FCUK stuff. I'm not a big fan of Sanctuary but got given some bits.

Not used anything up today but have got bids on a Nails Inc varnish on ebay.

Oh, I smelled the hot butter fudge bath stuff in Asda - it smelt of sticky toffee pudding. Mmmm... Will probably buy some when the gingerbread latte stuff runs out. *If you love body scrubs but don't want to buy any more, look away now.* They also had the hot butter fudge body scrub (RRP approx £6) on offer at 3 for £10. I wasn't tempted myself because I'm not a big fan of body scrubs.

That'll be the ginger.:eek::eek: Same thing happened to me.:eek::eek:

Ooh, my tootsie nails are french polished with little black and white flowers on them and my finger nails are a dark, glittery grey. Daughter has very pale pink on hers

The grey is collection 2000 (from their hot look collection) and needs about three coats to give decent collection. Nice colour though.

Have finished a can of fake tan and had none left, so with this thread in mind, I used my fake bake on my face. Well I just look like I haven't washed my face for a few days :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Love fake bake on my body - gives a really natural colour but lesson learned - buy seperate stuff for my face

I didn't buy any of the Gok things because I think the packaging looks really cheap and tacky, probably nice product inside though.

That's what I thought too. Not sure I want to learn that the products are nice! :P

My Primark body scrub is rubbish because there's not enough 'scrub' to it. But my BodyShop strawberry body polish is good - smells nice and does the job.

Oh good, I have one of these in a gift set waiting to be used

Some ginger stuff is ok. Lush have a lovely ginger lotion (should not have mentioned that company when I'm going cold turkey:eek::eek:)It's just that Sanctuary lotion does sting/burn.
