The other day someone recommended a hairspray that was as good as Ellenet, but cheaper. Need a mini for my hols, can anyone remember / find the recommendation??

TIA:D

Bronnie, not sure which one was recommended but I really like the John Frieda one that comes in a handbag size (always used to get it with the £2 vouchers!). I think it's about £2.50 so may be a little expensive for going away. I also forgot to reply to your post about the Lush shampoo bars. I also like them although have never used the Godiva one. Have used the Ultimate Shine and Karma ones and did like them. Be interested to see how you get on with Godiva as I'd like to try that one too!

Thanks girls!

Can't you tell I'm in holiday shopping mode! (Actually a week to go, but trying to buy sensibly and avoid running round Boots/ supermarket at the last-minute and picking things up indiscriminately!!)

Going now, so will ask SA in Boots about the tillspit if it's given on any random purchase as don't want much else there. Where I'm going is the domaine of the £1 shops! There's Wilkos, B&M, Poundland and Home and Bargain, vitually next to each other. Don't know how Boots survives there tbh, it's always empty!!

Vicster will certainly do a WIBA on Godiva after hols. Bit sceptical as to how long it will last for £5.50 though, as it's much smaller than I thought! We'll see!

Quick question, anyone please!! (Going out soon)

Did I read that there is a Boots "tillspit" for £2 off L'Oreal atm?

If so is it "spat out" for anyone for any purchase? How do I get one?

I need a L'Oreal mascara for hols £7.99, have got a few quid in points so a £2 off voucher would be great.

Bronnie, you need to spend £5 to qualify, as has been pointed out. Just a reminder though - you can't use points to part pay for anything, you need to pay entirely in points. So, to use your £2 tillspit you will need to pay for the rest. HTH xo

You lucky thing, I'd looooove to have all those lovely shops! You'll be surprised how long those shampoo bars last, they really do last a long time! I've got a covered soap dish (iyswim) to keep my shampoo bar in, to keep it nice, think you can get them for about 50p in Wilkos

woo-hoo! just won a benefit lippie with a flake ... which is kind of nice as I officially start my no toiletries challenge tomorrow - hopefully it'll be a nice 'fix' when it turns up in the post. Two more flakes left in the five pack ... one lipstick for a quid is nice ... two or three would be even nicer. Lipstick is one thing I am hopeless at buying and I only own one that actually suits me!
I have checked through my ridiculous levels of supplies and I can't possibly think what I would need to go and buy so am aiming for a zero toiletries/cosmetics spend through April. Have already used up a few 'almost empties' and samples since joining this thread and also am enjoying using some products that I had forgotten I had. I love the idea of PYNM too - I used to have really lovely, well cared for nails but have got a bit lazy on that front so a regular day for a manicure/pedicure sounds good to me!:j

Yes I discovered this at the till! What an amateur I am!

Anyway the SA had a real attitude too, so in a fit of pique I left it and walked out! Will get it on Thursday somewhere. Don't mind paying, I know I like it!!

ohh no bronnie its horrible when a SA is rude, manners don't cost anything even when it can seem like a mundane job! umm try at the airport if you are using one?

girls sorry i have a confession to make - after being so good, i've made 3 orders on body shop since yesterday!! but not all for me, gifts for my sisters instead of easter eggs for this weekend and...umm....some 'spares' :rotfl: good bargains though for a touch over £33 i've got 6 lip butters 4 body lotions 4 body purees a body butter, a love your body card (finally gave in lol) and a razor relief balm for daddy lol whoopsie! can't complain when quidco is 18% cashback!

i mustn't keep justifying my binges on toiletries!

I've ''acquired'' some make up, but Ididn't buy it. My mother had bought a Laura Mercier Peach Moasaic shimmer block that she doesn't want or like so I've nabbed it.
