No buying toiletries in March challenge!

thevicster

Finished off a mini Charlie Secret body spray today, only about 1000000000000 to go!

I also got the simple lip moisturiser the other day and also got Glamour magazine yesterday (I always get this) but did buy an extra copy so I'd have the matching conditioner and shampoo. Also, yesterday I bought some 'Armani Code' perfume - it's gorgeous and my OH actively encouraged me!!!! So so far in March I've spent £29.98.

Got some at Boots on Tuesday - the girl approached me while I was at the Avene stand and asked if I'd like to try some. I must have looked in need! Anyway, she gave me four samples, day and night cream, cleanser and toner. So did the JL lady the next day I'm really loving the extra comfort day cream, and I thnk I'll buy it when I've finished the Avene.

Nearly finished off a Liz Earle foot repair, just need to cut the bottom off to get the last bit out. WIBA? Definitely, although I wasn't keen at first. It's very rich and surprisingly not greasy. I've a tube of Boots foot cream to use up form a trial though first, before I buy any more of this.

Ditto Aveeno, just need to salvage the last dregs from the tube.

I've been testing what I think is Boots Lift & Luminate night cream - same smell, same texture, and if it is, I'm not impressed. I loved the P&P night cream, which was rich and soothing and left my face looking refreshed in the morning, but this is not good.

Currently trying to resist going back for another bottle of the Urban Retreat perfume

Hi everybody
I've fallen of the wagon again.
I haven't used anything up but I've been adding to my very embarrassing stash.
Today I bought a copy of glamour and marie clare for the james brown hair conditoner and neals yard moisturiser,In my defence I do usually treat myself to a magazine once a month and I didn't buy one last month so I can be excused?
I've also had a vaseline aloe gel body moisturiser but it was 75%off at wilkos and mum paid, also lost of john frieda from the tesco glitch and I only paid £2 as mine was the "test" purchase and sis paid for the rest as she wanted to try a few products anyway and I got to keep the rest.hehe
I've now got a desperate urge to visit boots to find a soap&glory back brush and for the skincare consultation with clarins.Help!

Was going to by Oil of Olay wipes and face cream set for £2.49 from Lidl but resisted thanks to this challenge. But did order a few things from Boots from Claire21's grabbit thread, as there were quite a few freebies going. Wish I could keep away from grabbit!

hi everybody. Think it might be next month before I'm able to report anything else gone from the pile, I'm using up moisturisers I don't like and of course they seem to last forever .

The only thing I think I might need to buy is conditioner. Has anyone got any recommendations? I have reasonably long, very thick hair so it would need to be pretty heavy duty stuff I'm using some organic brand that I got when it was on offer, its not bad but its not brilliant.

What's the tresemme conditioner like?

Clean on me smells quite sweet and strawberryish and creamy, whereas Clean girls is more floral and slightly blackcurrantish.

I have Clean Girls and the matching body butter and I think the shower gel smells quite nasty actually but the body butter is gorgeous.

I also have Clean on me which I used for two years straight and I loved it, but now I've stopped using it, when I smell it now it seems quite sickly to me.

I think maybe COM suits younger ladies and CG is best for the slightly more mature.



:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

hahaha ............delicately put!!!!!!

That doesn't say much for me then unless 34 counts as being slightly more mature :rotfl: and I actually preferred the sound of the CG to the COM as I quite like the smell of vanilla.

Used up:
Sainsburys generic brand (Phil ?? something) for blone hair conditioner - WIBA nope, makes it fluffy and the conditioner is really not that great. Bought it as it had a hair award winner badge on it, pah! You know I might write to them as they are just tosh.

Bought:
Instead of Champneys mint wash (circa £6) bought 2 x Original source shower gels (one lime and one mint). Ok so far. Slightly weird texture. Will see how I get on.
Also bought a Ginger and Clementine bath cream from Waitrose (no cinnamon bake in sight!) to put in my hand wash - really nice and fresh. Can recommend that for 99p.

Managed to finish a shampoo off this morning. Am hoping the shower gel will follow in the next day or two.
