No buying toiletries in March challenge!

mrs-moneypenny

not much to report here, managed to use up the dregs of a small body wash and a couple of sachets over the weekend. walked straight past boots ansd will give the £5 no7 voucher my mil gave me to DD:A

Quick update from me:

I bought a toothpaste at the weekend, as the current one is almost finished, and I was in the supermarket so checked to see if there were any that would be cheaper than the poundshop - got a large tube of Crest for 69p

I have also used/finished a few more things:
- Lush bath bomb (nice relaxing bath yesterday)
- Clinique Sparkle Skin small tub. WIBA? No - it's ok, but not worth the price. Fortuntaly I got it free at Bonus time, and I have another one still to use...
- Clinique superpowder double face powder. WIBA? Yes - great powder. I have another one which stays in my handbag for touchups when needed. I've replaced the one in my make-up set at home with a Rimmel set that is *years* old - when that's gone I'll get another Clinque one for home.

Anyway, due to putting money in my pot for using those up (£6) and the 69p for the toothpaste i bought, I've just gone over £100, yay! I'm amazed how quick i've got there, as i'm only putting in little bits at a time. Not sure what i'll use it for yet - maybe keep saving and pamper myself at a spa later in the year, or new clothes for a special occasion...

I have now won 3 Benefit lipsticks with Flake wrappers... I am sending one to my mum, one to my aunty and saving one for myself... Yay!!! This doesn't count either because they were free... :j

I did buy the Arch de Triumph S&G eybrow pencil thingy with points on Saturday though. I do find walking into Boots really hard. However, I had been looking for it since I read about it on here and couldn't get it at any of my local Boots branches (as it was sold out), so I got it in Northampton (when I was up visiting a friend this weekend)...

I have used up a few bits and pieces and thrown out some sachets over the past few days (as they were past their expiry dates). I finished my never ending eyemake up remover (I can't remember the brand name, it was a French one) and am now onto my No7 one. I had to throw away a little Molton Brown sample body lotion bottle today because it smelt awful... I have a pile of stuff in my bathroom to be used up and I am trying to leave my good stuff alone until this has been done...

PS The VICSTER, I will PM you some of my best female travelling alone tips soon!! When are you off?

And now confession time. I bought two Too Drunk emotibombs from Lush on Saturday BUT I've had the most horrible cold (so bad I couldnt actually smell anything in Lush when I went in)

Er, I'm off in about 2 hours :rotfl:. Train down to Portsmouth then setting sail at 8. I'm scared silly! Today I've been up and down as to whether to go or not, reading the reviews it seems the ship is frequented by drunken, fighting chavs. But...it's not school holidays and not a weekend so surely it will be full of nice retired people who want to chat and teach me how to knit? Surely!!

On the plus side I used up an Inecto coconut oil shampoo and conditioner today, really nice, would definitely buy again when I've used my huge stash of shampoos and conditioners!

Haven't bought anything at all. Picked up a twisted sister curl spray and put it back down in TK Maxx. Moved some of the extra shower gels back into the cupboard so we only have one out at a time and then when thats used I'll get another out. Doing the same with face wash.

I don't think I will need any tooth brushes, toothpaste, shower gel, face wash or moisturisers for about 9-12 months. may need some shampoo in about 6 months.

That's amazing! Have you been having withdrawal, though? I still like a wander through Boots, to check it is still there :rotfl:

I'm going to throw an eyeshadow out, because it is really cracked, and a strange gold colour that never suited me! I'm PYNM Snowdrop (again). Oh, and I've finished another pack of fruit tea :T

HAVE A GREAT TIME! Take some great books and treat yourself to some non MSE magazines. TBH, there could be rampaging chav fistfights in front of me and wouldn't care if my book was good enough
