No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge!!

footymadgal

Used up a sachet of Jergens Ultra Hydrating body moisturiser with jojoba oil. The oil in it seems to have formed a barrier on my skin - my skin feels really nice. I have thought about buying from this range before as it contains no parabans but the lack of fragrance has always put me off. WIBA? Yes, for times when you want to wear a body lotion which doesn't compete with your perfume.

I might use a No. 7 voucher tonight after work - will try not to be tempted by other goodies.

Finished a John Frieda Brilliant Brunette conditioner - this is a regular product for me and I have several more in the cupboard thanks to the Tesco glitch. WIBA? - yes, undoubtedly. Suits my hair and leaves it lovely and soft and shiny. Not quite sure yet if I shall go onto another one of those, or something different.

Must agree - it's lovely and my hair feels soft and shiny after. Smells beaut too.

my mother saw fit to restock the soap dispenser on the sink with my lovely cinnamon buns bubble bath, rather than her !!!!!! horrible vanilla multipurpose soapy stuff... grrrrrrr !!!!! Its all mixed in with the other stuff that was in the soap thing already,so I cant even change it now !!!... my catch a wrinkle in time is spluttering now,so hopefully will be gone in a couple of days - Im using it as night cream,with my benefit dear john in the daytime.

Oh no! That's a shame. The cinnamon stuff sounds lovely - I really REALLY miss having a bath at home, I have only had showers for months now and I just want to soak in the tub with a glass of vino and a book! Sigh. My fave is the original radox - ah! Have to remind myself that I'm geting a bath/shower ensuite soon in our new house OH and DF are building so should put up happily! Can't wait The wrinkle cream - is it good, I've never heard of it...? Can anyone recommend an amazing (actually does the job) anti wrinkle cream for under 30 skin?

No use ups from yesterday... apart from half a Lush bath ball while soaking my feeties while watching New Moon :happyhear I was so cold and didn't want to do anything else! Thanks for the heads up on the Lush thing - I have never been able to use their stuff long term anyway as it makes my skin itch awfully - so purfumed! I don't really like the smell either. Have a whole box to use from Xmas though... doh. Did work well for my feet so that's prolly the way they'll all go!

Happy Wednes all

I'm under 30, and haven't got an anti-wrinkle cream in use, but I'd swear the P&P serum has made the lines on my forehead and neck that I used to be really paranoid about a lot better - I no longer even think about them, they've diminshed that much! I know a lot of people don't like it though, or it does nothing for them...

I'm still searching for an under eye cream that will have the same miracle effect on the fine lines i'm getting around my eyes (no bags or dark circles thankfully) - any suggestions gratefully recieved?!

I'm 32 but I think the No 7 Line Lift is really really good - it's practically got rid of the deep wrinkle between my eyebrows!

Cheers for the swift replies!

Lillian I shall have a looky at this... lovely to know things actually do what they say on the tin!

Could you expand a bit on the p&p... I'm not familar with it sounds good though!

Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect serum - the intense version is here:
http://www.boots.com/en/No7-Protect-Perfect-Intense-Beauty-Serum-Tube-30ml_1015950/

I haven't tried the intense version yet - I only ever bought one bottle of the original (no longer on sale), which I've barely touched, as i've been working through 5 little samples that come with the No 7 free gift things - they last forever! I'm now on my last one though thanks to this challenge, and then it's back to the big bottle. And then (many months down the line!) I'll get the Intense version.

There are frequently advantage card points offers and No 7 vouchers to bring the cost down (including right now!) so if you get it, make sure you take advantage of the offers to get it as cheap as possible.

Shadowsfall

Ahh! Silly me. Ok... I shall investigate that too. I quite like No.7. I'll see what discounts I can muster - I must have enough on my advantage card to buy it outright if I get one from Boots.

Thank you guys - really appreciate it!

Binned an old Natural Collection moisturiser, I think I bought it at university :rotfl:They don't even make that 'flavour' anymore :rotfl:

Sample of Nivea came in the post, otherwise still on the straight and narrow.

Just bought 4 bottles of mouthwash - however I did need some more alcohol-free stuff and the Aquafresh was on a BOGOF. Still within £10 budget!

Also picked up two No7 vouchers and DIDN'T USE THEM! One is for OH and gave the other to a colleague.

Re P&P

Best time to buy is when it's on 3 for 2, which is it is frequently. Brings the cost down to around £13/£14 each, which then makes it hard to buy when it's normal price (creams and serum all around £20+)
