No buying toiletries in February challenge!

JoeyEmma

QVC always seems really expensive to me. I used to get Liz Earle TSVs when they used to come with full sized products and sell the bits I didn't need on Ebay. Nowadays her TSVs are really stingy and have loads of sample sized products in them.

The only reason for buying from QVC these days is to buy makeup as you can test it out and then return it if you don't like the shade. That being said, I watched an entire Bobbi Brown hour the other day and didn't buy anything. Was tempted by an undereye concealer, but I only just recently started one, so passed on it. In fact, thinking of it, I haven't ever actually bought MU from them ever.

Today has seen the remainder of a Royal Jelly body lotion used up, and a "Ghost" body lotion used up. (only mini but at least it's another gone.)
Onto another Avon one now, a yoghurty one this time..can't wait to get onto my nice s&g stuff....I keep hearing it calling me to use it....

I finally got round to uploading the pic of my stash I took on my phone on 22nd Jan...so here it is



Although I need to add the contents of another hatbox to that which was present from OH collected after photo was taken

Behind the ifoam are all my tubs of body butter stacked up...the photo is a bit misleading, was lookin at it a min ago thinking to myself "um therereally isn't that much there!"

bet it was the daily smooth, it's lush. I'd love to lay in a bath full of the stuff and roll around.

It was! It does smell sexy, might have to be careful not to start eating it. :eek:

Judgeaq- I like Avene. I have the light moisturiser, but think I need something a bit richer, although the rich one will probably be too heavy for me!

That's the one I'm using as well. I thought it might be a bit on the light side when I saw the consistency, but it's been fine. They do a soothing hydrating serum as well. I've got a small tube of it but haven't tried it yet. That might add a bit of richness raher than using a heavier cream. ILuckily our Boots has the whole range and a good stock of everything.

I also use Barefoot Botanicals SOS cream when my face flares up, but dont have any atm and have't had any problems since I started using the Avene. I did have the their Rosa Fina cream which I used as night cream as it was way too heavy for me for day.

This is really boring compared to everyone else's buys (or temptations) but I bought a big pot of petroleum jelly for 99p

I use on my hands under gardening gloves (when i'm gardening).

Had a succesful bath today! Used up the dregs of 2 very old bath salts/gel and experimented by putting some VERY old body lotion in!! Also used the last of a Lush Ayesha face mask (horrible, horrible smelly stuff!!) and a couple of sachets of sample shampoo. Started on some awful smelling Dead Sea Spa Magik body lotion, it's a hugggge bottle so will take ages to use up darn it!

Does anyone know if anywhere sells Barefoot Doctor products still? I forgot how much I like them!! Also, does anyone know of a good overnight treatment gel for the face? I love the Superdrug Clarity one but has been discontinued and the Boots one doesn't smell too good!

Hi everybody-I've been good.
I returned a givenchy perfume set that oh got me on boxing day to boots so £23 refunded.
I have used up a boots gorgeous feet set (all sachets)during the weekend by treating my feet to a home pedicure-even used a footspa I bought from superdrug clearance for £5 that has lived in the airing cupboard since purchase.
Have been smothering my feet in soap&glory heel genius and will tonight finish the tube.Feet look better than they ever have.
Have been using no7 moisturising gloves and an olay handcream every night since friday.
Have been using sanctuary lomi lomi granules in the footspa as a treat.
I've noticed that by spending 5 minutes in the evening on hands/feet or body I am slowly finishing products that are usually difficult to use up.
