No buying toiletries in February challenge!

Lemon_Tree

i've used up a razor this weekend, (OH keeps buying cheap useless ones and moves on to the next one, and i can't bear to just chuck them so i'm working my way through them)

I have managed to do the cleansing face routine for a few days constantly now, which is a minor miracle, so i'm finally getting through the Sanctuary face care set i have, i bet they don't even do it any more it's that old.

Hello girls.
Hope you all had a nice weekend.
I'm having ebay problems which are doing my head in! The girl who bought my 'big thrill' says she never got it, I posted it on the 30th of January and she only let me know on Saturday that she hadn't received it. I'm now having to go through the rigmarole of a claim with the PO. Really don't have time for this, AND I just got my bill in from ebay, the fees are getting outrageous in my opinion, think I'll go back to car booting, less hassle.
Anyhoos, finally finished a BS Cranberry Body Polish by cutting it open, and finished a wee 100ml bottle of Girligo (needed a quick shower this morning and didn't have time for a full body buttering session!
I was at a party on Saturday night and it looks like I've lost my Clinique Superfit foundation (my neices were rummaging about in my make up bag trying everything on). I think there may be a lipgloss gone too
I'll need to pop to Boots and get some more foundation, I never have spares, I don't seem to stockpile make up the same way I do with toiletries. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm willing to try something new and my budget is usually about £20 - £25 for foundation, I do think you get what you pay for with a good one. I'll use points to pay so I don't feel too bad about it.....
Now, to sort out this ebay nightmare....

Painted my nails an oldish 17 called Snowdrop for PYNM. I seem to be targeting the older, cheaper stuff rather than the recent, better stuff. Not finished anything for a while, but lots of products ought to be finished up in the near future.

Oh no eklynne. What a shame. Here's hoping that they turn up. An expensive night out otherwise. Do you always take foundation out with you? I can't imagine standing in a public loo doing anything more than touching up my lippy!

ETA: I think my nails need a rest from nail varnish for a little while. They have that dark orangey tinge to them from too much nail varnish. Is there a way round this? Would it improve if I wear pale colours for a while?

I wouldn't normally, but I was staying over with relatives after the party as it wasn't practical to get home
I'm going to rummage about in dd's make up and see if she's got something passable I could use until the weekend. Trying to stop popping to the shops midweek too.

Nightmare about the eBay buyer, but hopefully you will get your compensation from the PO. Do you think she's trying it on?

I agree about the fees , wish we could set up a buy and sell website just for us and the fashion thread ladies, no eBay or Paypal fees so we could sell a bit cheaper! And I bet we would all have the most amazing stuff to sell

Re foundation, I know everyone raves about it but Estee Lauder Doublewear really is fab. I also love Clinique Superbalanced. :A HTH. And make sure you have a good look for your Superfit and lip gloss just in case!!! Where was the party? xoxo

Righty-ho folks, we seem to be doing very well here, so as someone who also has a guilty hoarde of DVDs, I made a similar challenge for us DVD collectors called 'The 'No More Buying DVDs Until I Have Watched the Ones I Already Own' Thread'.

Feel free to join if you know you should already be there!
