I've decided that S&G's The Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser is not good for my skin. The areas of my face with big pores and blackheads have grown, and now almost my entire face is covered. But I do like the Fab Pore facial peel mask.

It's my birthday today :j (21!) so I get to use all my best toiletries today! And I get to open my birthday box of Lush which I wrapped up last month.:D

Have a good week everyone and keep up the good work!

Hi Rebecca, first of all Happy Birthday, have a lovely time.

I'm glad you have posted about the S&G hot cloth cleanser. I've been using LE C&P for years but now that the formula's changed it's not suiting me. Unfortunately I have a stockpile of it to use up first and the S&G one was a candidate to replace it along with A'Kin which has also been recommended to me. What skin type are you?

YOU DON'T NEED IT, SO DON'T BUY IT!

There, has that helped?!

P.S. Please let me know what the Aldi stuff is like as I might replace mine with same when it's gone: I've heard good things about some of their range.

LOL Yes it helped thanks :T

I was tempted by the Aldi day cream too but it only had a spf4 so decided against it. But my tinited moistoriser has a spf15 so I could of got OH to get it anyway Does anyone else moistorise befor applying tinted moistoriser?

have decided to call today blue monday(in spite of/because of it is white outside...again:mad:)am so fed up of this awful weather.I sold a book on amazon and have to go to the mobile PO this morning,there is a photo in it from Dec 19th when they managed to get here despite the white stuff......nothing has changed in over 2 months,very depressing.

today I had planned to be very bad,a trip to town to spend my debs coupons on the clinique bonus time BUT.....do I want to drive 30 mins to the P&R then wait in the cold for a bus and arrive at Debs after about a hours travelling?THEN after doing the business at Debs walking 10 mins (still in the cold!) to town to the clothes shops????where I can spend my marks coupons ????????(where I live we should by now be "enjoying" the new guided bus service....only 12 months late BUT snagging has caused a dispute between the workmen and council and it is going to court:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: so no bus and a bill of over £120M...twice original estimate:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:)

Actually NO,as when I am honest I only need the concealer and the mositure surge i planned to get to qualify for the bonus will end up in the stash alone with the bonus gift so what is the point?

BF has gone to the south of France for 2 weeks,think she is escaping from her neighbour who she advised to go to Maderia for a holiday:eek:

not doing PYNM as OH is going for his big swim tuesday this week so will do it then but going to treat toes this morning(before taking them out in the cold)as did a lot of dancing yesterday and tights rubbed a blister am going to use sample of udderly smooth that I have had for ages then socks.

If this weather continues I will either have to resort to online buying(not a good idea)or take up OHs offer of a night in Chesterfield....do they have any good shops?????

sorry to moan/ramble....think I have got SAD!

Good Morning All

I bought a Sanctuary Mandelular Body Souffle yesterday! With vouchers from Xmas so not too much damage BUT I had never even heard of it till I started this challenge!!! You are leading me astray - I have loads of lotions and potions to use up first!!!
Anyway it is just as luscious as you all say !

I also brought back the toiletries pack (and tea, coffee, hot chocolate sachets!) from the lovely hotel we stayed at in Harrogate. Had to cut the weekend short cos of the weather but it was nice while it lasted!

Well done on 'fessing up and using up what you have used: the rest should keep you going for the next decade!

Hello!! Does it count as a lapse if you buy gifts?! Only I bought 6 boots pedicure sets during that online glitch...

Apart from that I've used up
1 dry shampoo WIBA yes! I love this.
1 tresamme (sp?) conditioner. WIBA no I don't think so. Doesn't really leave my hair soft enough
1 shampoo

So far so good! I don't think I'll ever finish my clean mary face cleanser. It's like a ever lasting gobstopper!
