    Good girl Tara, I was just about to SHOUT at you. I'm back from my facial and it was better than sleep, AND I resisted all attempts to sell me product. In fact, I was told how great my skin is looking, and told them it was Oil cleanse method, so instead of buying a hugely expensive cleanser the beautician (a luxury brand of skin/hair care) is off to buy castor oil!

    LOL!!!!!!!!

    We are destroying the beauty industry!

    OK, OK, I feel so good looking at my online no-toiletries savings pot and your encouragement has made me feel better too... so I am going to say NO to the evil Lush and their products!

    I actually feel a tiny bit sad that I have such a huge stash, because if I had no products at all I could have taken advantage of this fab offer... but it will be on again (won't it??). And buying it would make my stash even bigger and take up even more space!!!

    Thanks girls, I would have bought it without hesitating before I joined this thread.

    Yes, the offer will be on again in the future. Who knows, maybe an even better one will be on when you can finally justify buying more Lushness. Keep going as you are doing very well. x

    Hi,

    I've come to confess my sins :eek: . My Sister gave me a £5 No7 voucher today and it would have been rude not to use it so i bought some nail varnish which cost me £1.25. I didn't need it but couldn't resist at that price.:o I also bought some face wipes which were 2 for 97p and 4 bars of soap for 98p from Wilkinsons. Those i did need so i'm not going to feel guilty about that.:p

    I know, I'm so proud.

    I used to have excellent skin, and sometimes still do, but a cocktail of being very ill, taking horrid, ever changing prescriptions for the last seven years and gaining weight has really seen it suffer. TBF I did have a prescription change at about the same time as starting OCM I think, but never the less, the improvment is really incredibly good, and my skin feels so good, its all a bit self-loving, because sometimes I find I'm touching my face, I can't believe how soft it feels. Coupled with feeling better and body buttering twice daily and using all my stash of lmost finished products I'm feeling pretty darn good and fragrant!
  • Well done Tara, im puting in £2 per item finished into my beauty tin and now have £20 yeah, some were samples etc so its not as impressive as it sounds lol.
    I have also decided to return some gift set bought before christmas to get some of my cash back:o.
    Still feeling rough but my dh is gonna run me a bath later on when the kids are in bed, think i will use Sanctuary Kyphi bath elixir, it is really gorgeous.
