Tara747 DD loves Palmer's and the smell, she has dry skin on her body and says that it really helps.

....

Huge made a huge dent in my stash from Ebay sales, birthday hampers for friends & family, I can now store it all in the bathroom cupboards so that is a bonus.

Will be colouring my hair over the weekend for the grand sum of £1.00 from the pound shop instead of the usual £50.00 that i used to pay at the hairdressers.

Just goes to show, we are all so different! I would offer to post the rest of it to her but it is just dregs at this stage.

Well done on your eBaying and clearout and your £1 hair colour bargain, you can spend the extra £49 on something nice! :T

After my confessions yesterday, I have explored the shower room and am ashamed to say I am currently "using":-

Olay Daily Thermal Skin Polisher
Soap & Glory Greatest Scrub
Dr Nick Lowe Purifying Foaming Cleanser
Alpha H Micro Cleanse
Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Control Cleanser
No7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser

The rest of my face care stuff is kept elsewhere and I will list later but this is what I use in the shower

Liz Earle Energising Body Wash x 2
Soap & Glory I-Foam
Soap & Glory Clean On Me
L'Occitane Revitilising Shower Gel
L'Occitane Peach Blossom Shower Polishing Nectar
L'Occitane Ultra Rich Hand & Body Wash
L'Occiatne Lavender Shower Gel
L'Occitane Lavender Shower Cream
fcuk Bodywash Souffle
Body Shop Shea Shower Cream
Molton Brown Arctic Birch Shower
Champneys Oriental Shower Cream
Australian Body Care Tea Tree Oil Skinwash.....a litre salon size!!
Body ShopCocoan Butter Creamy Body Wash
L'Occitane Almond Oil

There are many shampoos but since I have developed an allergy to most products, I shall have to rely on my DD's to use them up because I am now stuck with GP prescribed stuff.

Mmmmmmmm.......think I have confessed most things now......

Just rest of the face stuff, make-up and nail stuff left I think.

Oh - and the brand new and never opened hidden hoard under the stairs

I'm found you again - I'm going to try and keep up this month!

Managed no spends in March and hoping for the same in April - although my mum did buy me two bubble bath bars and a toning cleanser when I was shopping with her on Tuesday...

Hi Fozziebear, looks like you've got the same skin type as me. I'm trying to find the right skincare for me. It's so spotty at the moment, that I've hd to go to the Dr and get antibiotics.:( What do you think of the skin cleansers you're using at the moment. Would you buy any of them again?

Debidoodle, yes, it's for the Beauty Bible. I'm just doing the miracle cream this time, rather than the full package, but they also sent me some sun products to test as well. I love testing for them, I've had all sorts in the past, from Elf to Benefit to Dior.

Sorry to hear you sad news as well - even when it's expected, it's never easy.

Btw, I know I shouldn't be encouraging you here, but Boots are selling off the Urban Retreat stuff and it's 75% off at the moment. I bought one of the perfumes for £6 a few weeks back (Naughty I know, but I 'fessed up at the time and it was with vouchers) and it's really nice.

If it's the Tesco hot cloth cleanser you bought, it's really nice. I find it much gentler than Liz Earle on my skin (I think the eucalyptus is too strong for me in the LE)

I'm getting dangerously close to the bottom of my Tam Dao perfume, not sure I can hold off buying more when I run out, especially when I've got so many other bottles, but I'm going to wait a little while in the hope SpaceNK might have an offer on soon.

I forgot to say yesterday, sorry debidoodle for your loss.
I shall hopefully use up the rest of my wink cream tonight. I've had a lovely day at the park with my work friends and all of our children. Ready for a rest now though, whew!

That might have been me? Its where you wash you hair with conditioner, not shampoo. I use shampoo ''when I need it'' which varies but I find the least often the better for my very curly, prone to dry/frizz hair. DH has also been doing this (very similar hair type) and he has found it has helped his psoariasis too.

But I do need to be fresh and fragrant: I work with animals and would stink if I only washed hair weekly or so! So I wash my hair without shampoo, using a conditioner, daily usually which is enough to keep my hair clean and fragrant, let me refresh the curl. e.g. this morning after mucking out and walking too sets of dogs my hair was windblown and stinky, so as soon as I jumped in the shower I put some of he conditioner in my hair and rubbed scalp, as if with shampoo, let it sit in tere while I get on with washing myself, then rinse hair and use a conditioner actually for my hair type (I tend to use one for normal/ish hair for the ''shampoo'' bit, and for dry or curly hair for the second one).

has your husband tried capasol shampoo on pescription?I find it very good at keeping psoriasis at bay then use normal conditioner

yes He actually finds, after using it for years it seems to aggravate the flaking! But his scalp is pretty good ATM! Thank you for the advice, its really kind!

Hi all hope you are well,

Fozziebear(sp) well done on your weight loss wow that is so inspiring. I have 2 stone to shift at the mo but i just cannot do it, my head is not in the right place and i cant seem to concentrate on it:(.
Right confession time, i spent £1.29 on some blaqk head pore strips, cause my nose is really bad and i just cat get rid of them. It brings my toiletry spend to £1.49 this month and i have set a target of just £5 and will probably need eye make up remover and toothpaste this month so i will hopefully stick to the budget.
In other news, had a lovely day out with kids today, but ds2 is just not getting the toilet training thing lol.

My Buy-Agains are:-

Soap & Glory Greatest Scrub - I am really liking this, find it effective but gentle

Alpha H Micro Cleanse - love all the Alpha H range and have a whole regime tucked away but trying not to use any more products from them until the currently in-use stuff is gone!

No7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser - LOVING this and much better for me than Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish which gives me spots.......I think it's the essential oils in LE, my skin likes chemicals better than "natural" products :rotfl:
