No buying toiletries in February challenge!

lynzpower

Was exceptionally restrained today in home bargains. I did buy a T sorbie long hair intensvehair mask. To be truthful, my hair is in desperate need of a cut and is scraggly at the ends II have voucher for a salon, thats proving a nightmare to book) it was 1.49.

I also bought some handwash as about to run out downstairs, that was 1.69 for 2x radox- quite a good buy I think and will last a while.

Im skirting far too close for comfort to the 5.00 budget line. Hmmm

My nails are shot to bits, i need to drink more water before buying any "miracle products" Not quite as exciting though is it!

Explain to your Mum that you've got a massive stash of stuff to use and that you won't be buying anything in Boots for the forseeable future to get the vouchers in the first place? It seems that the whole situation hangs on you getting the vouchers in the first place, and if you're not going in to buy anything, you won't get them will you. I can't imagine for a second that she'll have a problem with that, and at least you're being honest.

Good idea. I hadn't actually thought to ask her whether she was actually finished any of it!! I will ask her, and if she's ok for a while yet then maybe it could wait till the next lot of No7 vouchers. Thanks xo

Jacjacjac, that photoshoot sounds fab! When/where will the pics appear?

p.s. I need help resisting the Body Shop glitch!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Just catching up... M&S do a really good foundation brush. I read it in a review (somewhere) and bought it. Think it was about £8. It's really good quality. :A

I got the M&S foundation brush too (read a review on this forum!). Well actually, bf persuaded me that I should get their set of 4 brushes, as I'd then get 4 brushes for £15 rather than 1 brush for £8. The brushes are all really nice, and I'm very glad I bought them.

I've got too S&G scrubs ATM, the one I'm using now is ''The scrub of your life''. Its....ok. I think the other is called Flake Away? I much prefer that...feels, more heavy duty! The scrub of your life is gentler, and it does smell nice, but I like a scrub that scrubs IYKWIM. Also its in a tube, and I think I prefer tubs.

All in all, although its not a horrid product I'll be pleased to use this up. To be very fair, it has lasted a good length of time, and its better value than a tub certainly.

I agree. I much prefer Flake Away, as it's more scrubby.
Unfortunately I have three unopened tubes of Scrub of Your Life, though! (Free gifts from buying S&G items from Boots online!)

Yes, I just love it. Wish it was in a tub though.

Girls, I have some big news... I am selling my spare hatbox!! I ummed and ahhed about it for ages but I have decided to do it!!!!!! I am a little bit sad but just focusing on the extra space I will have, and the money I'll get for it.

I know that selling each item individually would make me more money, hmmm maybe I *should* do that...

To be honest, I mostly bought my hat box for the box!
I do love S&G products, but I really really love the box it all came in. Now I just need to take all the products out and use the box for what I bought it for

I just finished a wee mini tub of 'the righteous butter'.
I'm starting to think I maybe use too much? The minis only do me two applications, is this normal? It's not like I have a particularly large area to cover either...hmmm....
I also finally got round to replacing (well sort of...) my lost foundation. The Benefit girl in Frasers stopped me and I just could not resist, so i thought here's an opportunity to try something new, never had Benefit foundation and only use their 'You Rebel Light' tinted moisturiser. Anyhoos, the very flattering assistant suggested my skin was 'good enough to get away without foundation' *blush* and I am now in possession of 'Some Kinda Gorgeous', a sponge on make up that turns to powder on your skin. I have to say it really is rather lovely on. Maybe it's been all the pampering recently but my skin is particularly clear and I never even had my monthly breakout this month! Result!
So, hopefully I'll get on with this new make up and maybe be able to drop foundation altogether, I'm quite embarrassed to say I've now been wearing foundation for 23 years more or less everyday
So, off to bed with me, been a long day and I think I feel a cold coming on.
Also, apologies to Tara, I really should stop posting Body Shop glitches, sorry toots!

Hiya ladies,

Very pleased to say that I fnished the No7 hand cream, its so greasy...I ended up doing what one of you ladies suggested, and used it on my feet.

Have had fun sorting out my stash again this afternoon, so have added some clearer piccies...It looks more in the cupboard, then it did out on the bad in its "catergories", or maybe I'm just kidding myself!!

Lots of really lovely stuff there, mandymoomoo
(But you can keep the Pantene, that really doesn't agree with my scalp at all!)
