No buying new toiletries etc until.....

Today I have finished

Mary Kay Timewise eye revitaliser WIBA No, I actually did not purchase this I tested it for the Beauty Bible panel. It did nothing other than moisturise the eye area and cost about £30.00

2 x small tubes of Spa Find moisturiser WIBA yes it was lovely and sunk in easily.

1 x Urban Retreat shower gel WIBA not in a hurry it was nothing special

Evening lovely ladies and a warm welcome to all the newbies! :j

I've not been having a good couple of weeks and am ashamed to admit that in a desperate attempt to cheer myself up, I succumbed to temptation and purchased a No7 topcoat using the £5 voucher and a Dove intensive moisture hand cream for overnight use with my moisturising gloves. :embarasse

On the plus side, tonight I have showered, washed and conditioned my hair, exfoliated, painted my nails a sparkly pink and am moisturised to within an inch of my life. I have also finished up:

Trevor Sorbie Straightening Addict shampoo miniature: would I buy it again?
Nope, it didn't lather particularly well and left my hair lank and greasy within 24 hours. :doh:

Body Shop mango body scrub miniature: would I buy it again?
Another no. It smelt nice, but was very greasy and was not exfoliating enough for my liking. I'm looking forward to using my Next coconut scrub soon.

Hello Babafette,
with all you have had to contend with you deserve a bit of pampering and it sounds to me like you did it in a very financially restrained way.:)

I'm putting my make-up on every day I have so much and just like the packaging... but Benefit is expensive! I also feel heaps better for it

Todays lesson - don't bulk buy (nivea x 3) unless you've tried and liked that specific product. Liking the product sitting next to it on the self will not ensure that you like that one too :doh:

Thats a very good lesson to learn. I would add that the lesson I need to learn is not to stockpile quantities to last the next decade when I do like something, just because its on special offer. I have to remind myself that there will always be another product that will take my fancy.

That is such good advice about bulk buying stuff that you've never tried before... I am guilty of it, too. I think another problem with bulk buying is that once you've got through your 11th bottle of the same shampoo/conditioner/*insert product here* you are SO sick of it that you never want to use it again!

Temptation set in again today... this time it was in B&M. They had Benefit body wash for £1.79. I'm not much of a body wash/bubble bath person, but it caught my attention as it seemed cheap? I didn't buy it though!

I would have bought it:o

unfortunately I seem to have developed a bit of a reaction to Soap and Glory's 'Clean Mary' facial wash. Anyone else find it a bit astringent?

It's a face scrub so should only be used a couple times a week if you have sensitive for up to 4 times a week for normal skin, were you using it every day?

I feel like I'm really struggling today, the new boots £5 off voucher comes out today and they have a 1/3 off soap and glory

I've got so much lovely stuff and really don't need any more. I've not bought anything since starting the challenge on 21st but I feel like my resolve is melting!

I used it on Sunday night then last night. Too much do you reckon?
Oh well it's gone now. I prefer wipes anyway, of which I have plenty!
It doesn't feel scrubby!

I'm having to have a touch up wednesday! Nail polish has not lasted well this week!

Hoping to finish this dire Vanilla Natural Collection bath foam this week WIBA: no but it does give lots of bubbles, it's just boring.
