No Buying Toiletries in November Challenge....
Comments

Hello ladies!
Had 4 x £5 Boots vouchers burning in my hot little hand last week. My little Boots is pretty feebly stocked and I was determined to resist the utterly pointless purchase of 4 packs of £6.75 face wipes. Anyway, remembered the deal is on No 7 Mens stuff too, so got 3 of the No 7 men's toiletries for a fiver with 3 vouchers instead of about £20, which will do for DD's BF for Xmas. Quick thinking eh?!!! (for a change!!)
Oooh, I never think of that! Thanks Bronnie, great idea!

another uu to report: No7 Amazing Radiance hot polsih cleanser, really like this stuff and love the clean feeling I get afer using the muslin cloth, have another one in the stash so no need to repurchase.
I have decided to be ruthless and I'm going to go through the make up stash and get rid of all the stuff I know I'm never going to use, I will be strong!!0 -
Hello!
No spends today, hurrah. I have about 3 or 4 make up bags on the go - really don't know how I manage to keep doing this. So will have a bit of a sort out.
Will need to buy:
Some foundation - am torn between a Clarins one (will only buy when there's a gift with purchase) or using a mineral one. I have a Clarins sample so may have a play with that.
Nails are literally falling apart and remembered I have not been putting cuticle oil on them (just a cheapie one from Boots). So will unpaint my nails and give them a good soak of that stuff.
Happy pampering and not spending.

1 UU for me - a Simple shower gel. I bought this when I was suffering from thrush as the GU Medicine dept recommended it. WIBIA - not sure, I have plenty of others to use up first and didn't find it particularly moisturising. Didn't have any more outbreaks so that is a definate plus! Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -

It also has Elasticizer quite cheaply and with free P&P. I was a bit dubious as to how it could be so much cheaper, but the decleor set was delivered promptly and there was a free sample included, so I thought it was worth another whirl!
Btw, I think they're currently out of Shade 2 of Touche eclat, hopefully it's not the one you need!
Belated happy birthday, Bronnie!
Ooh thanks cherub! I can use Shade 2 but I usually go for shade 1 so no probs for me. Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. Einstein0 -
just wondered there is no n07 on the voucher confused ?
for sanctuary spa can you buy the lip balm
what other cheap items can you get ?
thanks0 -

Sounds like it might be a good idea to use the Simple shower gel on 'delicate bits' IYKWIM and use your preferred shower gel on the rest of your body?!0 -
