A few months ago I went shopping with OH and he was appauled at the amount I spent on a benetint and a blush. Now, so would I! Was lush to have them though. And they're still going - you do get a good product at least.

Anti-aging ceams etc are so hard to judge though. I've thought of trying the No.7 stuff/Loreal/etc and been put off by the price and the fact that they all claim to work brilliantly! Fibbers

Best to request them as Xmas gifties I suppose! :cool:

I've just painted my nails and have realised I must say goodbye to an old fave - the No.7 Pink Grapefruit varnish I got as a Freebie in a try-me kit. The old gal has certainly had her day!

Oh! Just remembered to mention... I signed up to Trinkets today - they do online deliveries of feminine items. Too expensive for much use - I was initially attracted by their current BOGOF offer for new orders. This is as much exp I have with the company but thought I'd mention it as they appear to be rather lush! Hope it helps with the MS luxury (necessary!) must haves!

I'm now the proud owner of a £10 Boots gift voucher (from doing surveys) and a £5 No 7 voucher.
I'm going to spend them tomorrow on as many essential toiletries as possible and the No7 one on a treat for me (will actually spend no more than a fiver).

Shopping with fake money - sounds good to me!

Anyone aware of any good everyday stuff bargains at Boots (shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste etc)

I just collected a £10 Tesco voucher for surveys - woo! Congrats on your Boots treat opportunity!

May have finished a hand cream this morning as I struggled to get the last bits out although as I was running late this morning didn't have a chance to properly try. I might try this evening to see if there's anything still left in there to finish off. Also I don't know whether I should be good and cut open the tube or throw it once I really can't get anymore out and start on the next one. I don't usually cut products open so don't know if I should start now

14 more to go.

:wave:Just saying hello again to everybody, I dont post much, am more of a lurker!
am enjoying following the thread, and taking part in the challenge. I have now used up all opened goodies, given away duplicates im not too keen on to a very lovely and very gratefull daughter in law. I have been listing what I like the most, and what works for me, for when I eventually start buying again!! I have opened the last toner in my stash today, so that will be one spend, will have to see how it lasts.
Most recent use up, a neutrogena deep clean 2 in 1 face wash/mask, cant sing its praises enough for my breakout prone skin, very smoothing too.
Avon winter wonderland shower gel, very lovely, will buy again when my others run out, in about 6 years time...............
Erm............. 1 body shop purchase to admit to......... lines done and time spent on the naughty step.........
Keep up your good work and pampering all!

Am pleased to report a few things have now left my stash:j The Lee Stafford dry shampoo is now all used up and I will definitely be buying again. Lovely scent (unlike some other dry shampoos) and really good at freshening hair up on days I don't wash it. I wash my hair most days so only need this the odd time meaning a bottle lasts me ages. Might wait for the next £2 haircare voucher from boots to replenish it though. And my 2 elemis sos creams are gone, I sold them on ebay as I have far too much skincare stuff already and would probably never get round to using them. They were a competition freebie anyway so I'm in profit:D

Stuck at home with a fractured foot & leg in plaster to the knee so I cleared out my 'stash' OMG didn't realise I had so much - then came across this thread. Can I join please?

That botanics body butter has bitten the dust - :j:j:j:j WIBA?? like heck would I.... :mad:

along with the remains of a BS mango butter - WIBA?? nope - really think BBs are too thick for my skin.

AND....

my Scrub Your Nose In It at last - WIBA?? - nope, am going to get the benefit scrub when I have cleared out the stash (which hopefully is almost there!!)
plan to mix the sweet snuggles i found lurking with handcream to get that used up.... ( I'll teach it to sneak up on me!!)

(left my phone in to charge in my bedroom last night - went to bed at midnight to find that id missed 3 texts from you know who - the last one at 10.15 saying that I "obviously dont want to talk to me - im sorry" - methinks is getting a taste of his own medicine....

:eek: Silversava - how did you manage to break your leg?? hope you get mended fast !!

Of course you can join - the more the merrier !!

Hi Trudij - thanks for the welcome! Silly accident at home (where else!) I thought I was on the bottom step of the stairs & I was on the second - stepped down hard on the ball of my foot & I've fractured the 5th Metatarsal in 3 places (sounds good doesn't it) same injury footballers get - but I'm not on their wages......! Only another 3 weeks 'till the plaster comes off & I'm DYING for a long soak in the bath with all the 'smellies' I've found.
I did buy some face creams from ALDI last week as I was getting low. Just started the 'Double Lift' cream & it seems to be exactly the same as the L'oreal one - seems to be just as good too & a lot cheaper!
I got a day & a night cream too but I'll finish up my Boots ones first like a good girl
