No buying new toiletries etc until.....

Need_a_break

Thanks TBTS , im fine Dh has mental health problems that i dont want to go into but basically it makes him behave like an immature teenager at best, so some days can be very challenging. But my little dd came to give me a big cuddle and has been snuggling with me, so i feel a bit better also no point in dwelling, you have to move on cause he often cant/ wont so one of us has to be sensible.

I would like to join this challenge if that's okay. I have an addiction to Body Shop Products especially body butter. I have a mountain of the stuff - some unopened but mainly opened.

I received quite a few gift sets as presents over the Christmas period, hubby is thinking of buying me shares in Body Shop for my birthday

How about using the money you are saving (if you are doing that) from not spending on toiletries on having a treatment or maybe a meal out etc.
Ive decide my toiletry money tin is going towards either teeth whitening or laser hair removal (am also collecting club card voucers) or whatever takes my fancy as long as its not toiletries:o.

That's a fab idea - I would really like to have my eyebrows tattooed

When I was at college, they took a bit of a battering and I've been slowing changing the shape of them - I love how they look now, but could do with filling in the sparser areas

I'm not sure how much I've saved so far, but I know I'd have spent at least £20 on S&G in the latest offer, and then I'd be spending the £5 off olay vouchers so there would have been a few more pounds here and there.

All those few pounds here and there all add up, don't they? It doesn't seem like much at the time, but over the course of the month your money just disappears :eek:

That's fair enough tab. I hope things work out soon. I'm study Mental health along with many many other things (I took on loads at uni but LOVE IT!) So I can understand, a bit. I'm also working pretty hard to remove the stigma from mental health with time to change! I used happy hippy and feel tonnes better!

Stash is slowly going down. Have used up a Johnson's body lotion and an Umberto hair thing. And an eye serum is on its last legs.

I've been having a bit of a talking-to-myself as I've nearly run out of toner (only a third of the bottle left!) so keep wanting to buy more. Then, I've discovered things in my drawers that could easily be used as toner, like skin-freshener sprays so I'm trying to do that. The funny thing is, after all my experimentation, I've realised the best toner for my skin in distilled witch hazel which is only about 70p. So, I'm trying to stop myself so that my much more expensive Prescriptives stuff will be used up.

Really, this has turned into a bit of an obsession!

Hate to mention it but have been reading about oil-cleansing and it sounds great!

I have had my eyebrows and lips tattooed and it was the best thing I ever did. My eyebrows were badly overplucked in the 80's and had no shape and were really sparse, so I had them done, what a difference, it really opened up my face and the amount of people who thought I had surgery was amazing.

Get yourself a reputable place and go for it, you won't regret it.:T

Finished paul smith women perfume (£33.50, gift)
WIBA? Nah, it was a gift and although it smelt quite nice, I'm a bit bored with it now - did have it around 2/3 years!

Mitchum deodorant (aerosol) (2.79, though bought on offer)
WIBA? Yep, it's my fave atm.


I'm also finished my benefit speed brow (approx £14.00) Actually it's been low for ages and I keep trying to scrape the last little bits out of it (tbf, I've probably just been using the dry brush for ages :rotfl:) and had bought a No7 brow and lash groomer to replace it. The No7 is nowhere near as good (though it is half the price) it's just too 'wet' (IYKWIM?).

WIBA? Will definitely replace the speed brow as soon as the No7 one is finished.

££ finished today = 64.29, total = 237.68 WIBA 93.94/39.5%


Todays lesson (possibly re-lesson :A): Don't buy beauty/fragrance gifts for people if you're not absolutely sure what they like.

oh yes indeed,old friend bought me a powder compact in a dark shade and I dont even wear powder:mad::mad:

Just went to tescos and got an Olay gift set of facial wipes and shower gel for £2.... offer too good to refuse! It's in a nice gift box so am thinking of keeping it for the MIL for a present...
