well done you. check out market stalls if u have any around. we have 2 sellers in sheffield selling new pedeggs for £2.99 or 2 for £5.

Does anyone have a pedegg and do they work? I used to have a metal file thingy from scholl that worked a treat

It was the Boots clearance store.....well, it was always going to be, wasn't it! I had to go and take a look - it would have been rude not to!

I spent £7.95.....but on the positive side it was a cash spend, and came from my regular weekly spending money, so I didn't get the plastic out. I also have to say I think I got quite a good deal.........I got:

5 x double sachets of day/night moisturiser - these will go on holiday with me.
2 x mini tubes of Radiant Glow lotion - I love this and can't usually justify it.
1 x full sized Boots Expert face scrub
2 x 16 packs of compact tampons - again can't usually justify but so useful for handbags.
2 x mini Boots mediterranean body scrubs - mint & melon - One of these will go on hols with me
1 x S&G mini flakeaway (I blame you lot for that, raving about S&G stuff!)
2 x packs of christmas gift tags
1 x mini Boots mediterranean body wash
1 x FULL SIZE No.7 Mascara :eek:
1 x FULL SIZE S&G Scrub of Your Life body scrub.

I have no justification for the body wash apart from it sounded lovely and was only 20p. I also initially picked up, but then put back a second one of the body washes and a full sized S&G body butter. The mascara will go in the drawer ready for one of the two I currently have on the go to give out. As it has more in common with the Clinique one I'm using than the Maybelline one I might go for using up the clinique one first.

Sorry girls!

I dont know if it meant for sensitive skin but I love Clarins gentle exfoliating refiner,I have very dry skin but this is fine to use everyday,maybe you could book in at a Clarins counter for a session(usually free and Boots...sorry to mention the B word have rooms in their bigger stores so away from the piblic eye) to give it a try,may even get a sample.To save money I buy mine from 1 of the many online sites at a reduced price,that is when I am not buying from a shop with a buy 2 get a goody bag offer on:rotfl:

^thanks for that. I like Clarins - I've tried a few sample size products but didn't love them enough to buy them. Also one thing I tried (a moisturiser with spf) reacted badly with my skin. I will ask if they can give me a sample at Debenhams next time I'm in

I know loads of people recommend St Ives Apricot scrub, but I patch tested that one and it didn't agree with me

TJ Hughes is a nightmare - so many bargains. I've still got loads of makeup from when they had the Pout and Stila selloffs. I only go in now to check if they have the Tigi shampoo for big hair -think it might be Superstar, it's the sulphate free one - they had it once, but I've never seen it since.

Yeah, usually I can resist cheap stuff (i.e. poundshop/Home bargains) but when I see branded makeup sub-50p, then I can't help it. I just think 'I'll not have that bag of crisps from the vending machine to make up for it'

Why did I not know there was such a thing as a Boots clearance store?! I don't think I've ever seen one around here [not that I need anymore stuff though, so maybe it's a good thing ].

Tskkkk at you for spending... but at the same time I know how it feels trying to resist a bargain!

I used my NO7 voucher today towards the Hot Cloth Cleanser - I wouldn't have known about it if it wasn't for this thread!;) I finished my Liz Earle before I started this challenge and although I do already have another cleanser it isn't doing my skin any good so it has been relegated to the handwash bottle while I try this NO7 one. I hope it is good - it is far cheaper than Liz Earle and the bottle is massive!

I did go into Boots today and buy a new Clinique lipgloss because I finished my beloved Melon Sky not so long ago and wanted a similar colour to replace it as they don't make MS anymore.

I was good though as they did try to tempt me into buying two other products to get 750 Advantage points. Rather than do that I used up some vouchers and got 150 points back.
