    I have to make a decision on jars/pots. I tend to keep ones I find attracive, yet not use them for anything...ideas anyone?

    Refill them with products which come in not so nice packaging.

    Hi, havent caught up yet but i know that someone (completely lost??)was looking for foundation that was light but with yellow rather pink tones. Well i tried some Loreal true match the other day and they hav quite a few with distinctly yellow undertones if thats of any help.

    It is a No 7 mousse foundation. I hate looking beige/orange etc etc. My skin is very fair, but has very slight pink tones, not yellow, beige or orange and the amount of times the colour is wrong, I have a bl00dy drawer full of mistakes and get really fed up with it.

    SO!! I really went on to the girl at the no7 counter, had a voucher....about it looking beige and true to her word, it doesn't. She asked me to go back in and let her know how I am getting on so I shall on Friday, she also said I could have a refund if it was beige :T

    I am reallypleased with it.

    Hi went into boots today as I had run out of cotton wool and wanted a make up bag to go in my handbags. My make up bags were all too big. Anyway got both products and some snack packs of apricots and as it came to just over £5 I got an No7 voucher. had a quick look at the No7 counter and realised the radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleaner that I had wanted to get but had been out of stock was back in so I treated myself to that - it was only £3.25 after I had the voucher taken off.

    £3.25 spent so far in March then:o

    Oooooooh a new thread!

    I need to find a spare hour to catch up!

    Spend for March is £0, but did succumb to the Asda 4 for £3 on Sunday but it was still Feb and I did need a new bubble bathbut maybe not 4!!!

    Have finished a few products tho so here are a few reviews.

    Body Shop Body Butter in Coconut WIBA? It was very moisturising but I hated the smell.

    S&G IFoam WIBA? Yes when I've finished the other 8 body washes! It was lovely and I could've gone without moisturiser if I wasn't trying to use up my stash!

    Palmolive Aromatherapy Lavender Bubble Bath WIBA? Yes it was lovely, gave lots of bubbles and had such a relaxing smell.

    Off to catch up with the thread over my dinner! x

    Done a quick check. While I've been away, they have used up the dregs from the upside down shampoo. I've used a 30ml bottle on myself this evening as my hair stinks of smoke so I washed it 3 times! May be me but I still feel like it smells.
    I've moved shower gel too so it's nice and fresh everything except for the conditioner. The next shampoo I'll open will be a mini too. I'm going to try to use up all the minis to clear the basket even more. I may even restock the basket from the toiletries bags in the cupboard. Eventually I would like to have somewhere to put loo rolls.
    Still feeling cheesed off about the funeral. I guess there are just too many bad people in this world.

    If I ever manage to get round to using up all my shower gel I think I would like to try S&G but was just wondering what everyone's preferences are between Clean Girls and Clean on me. After looking at it on the Boots website (and yes I was only looking :D) I think I am leaning towards Clean Girls. Which one does everyone else prefer?

    I've been Money Tipped!
    After this lot of shower gel is used up, I'm going to stick with my JASON stuff. If only the packaging/name were nicer...and soap.... I think. Invariably some gets gifted for variety.
