No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge!

roshydoshy

hopefully if i finish of my vita liberata tonight i might just reuse that bottle as its a pump - i wish i had ideas like this! you were MSE from an early age! hehe
i have loads of foundations too light/ too dark for my skin tone at the moment (trying to go au naturelle in the sun!) so can mix them, think you have saved me a foundation shopping trip lol x

Great idea Bekah!

I checked the name of the Origins serum, it's called Brighter by Nature. It is very nice so far!!! There's a new Drink Up intense mask out, ooooh I was so tempted to buy it but stayed strong!!!

Haven't posted on any of the threads since March I think (or maybe February actually!) but I'm doing ok. Since then, I've used up two bottles (small) of night lotion, one body spray, a lip gloss and the dregs of a cleanser and a combined cleanser and toner that had been lingering in the stash forever and am coming towards the end of a bottle of perfume. Having listed all of that lot, I can't believe the stash doesn't look much smaller than it did before ... how does that work?!

WIBA? I don't think I'll be buying any of them again as I've preferred other brands since I bought most of those. I might buy the lip gloss again but I've got another one in the stash to get through and on reflection, I'd rather get a Bourjois one I think once I need a new one and I've got some Boots points to use on it. I'm 50/50 on the night lotion but it's not as effective as it was in the beginning and I've still got 2 small bottles left so I'll probably just switch to something else when those have gone.

Just popping in to report a use up of a shower gel - down to the last "everyday" one now.

Nearly finished a Lush soap bar too - will last until shopping on the weekend.

Everything else still going strong (unfortunately)

OMG, with out noticing it was coming to an end I have finished my Estee Lauder Night repair eye cream. Its done very well being used almost every night and morning since christmas, and DH sometimes uses it at weekends too
wiba? Absolutely. I can see a difference certainly.

I have no spare. BUT I feel really commited to the challenge, I do have a balmy Itlaian one I adore but it is too heavy for the summer months. I also have a Clincque one I gave to DH because it makes my eyes swell so much. I don't think I can face it

so, do I stickwith something I know works for me...or play the field and look at a cheaper option? Anyone know when the next estee lauder offers will be?

LiR, as it is a tried and tested thingy (product, that's the word I wanted!) I would quickly have a look around and find the cheapest place to replace it.
Have you tried all of the usual suspects, ebay and the like? Or was it roshydoshy who said about google product search? That may throw up somewhere cheaper or try TJ hughes.
I would replace it though as you like it and it works.

I completely forgot that I came on here to report some new additions to my stash. I was given an EDT, a lipstick (both Avon) and an M&S gift set consisting of bath gel, soap and an EDT in a rose fragrance. I've already opened the bath gel but I didn't have any in stock. Hopefully it won't all last too long.
