No Buying Toiletries in December Challenge

One UU here:
Decleor aromessence balm. WIBA? Not at the moment, it's very expensive and I have mixed feelings about it (as with all the Decleor products). It was a favourite when I started using it, as it's incredibly thick and really moisturising. However, I've been using it every night as recommended, and it's too heavy for me - it feels like more of a treatment masque. When I wake up in the morning there's still a greasy film on my face. I'll be back to finishing up my Neal's yard rose oil.

Almost used up my Decleor cleansing water by knocking it off the table, but it's so sticky that very little was spilled. Not sure if that's good or bad... :rotfl:

I agree. I've had decleor facials and my skin has been quite reddened by them, which I dont think is a good sign.

I've been very good and have only been replacing things I have used up and am making a concious effort to buy cheaper shower gels etc. Hopefully no more major spends on make up for a few months. Enjoy your weekend!

I've recently swopped to cheaper shower gels. I once bought Elemis frangi (cannot spell) one which lovely but about £25 quid (shakes head in shame....). I've found the Radox smoothes (£3 but currently in Wilkinsons for 99p) really lovely. Used a Palmolive spa one was very runny and brought me out in a rash so used it to clean the sink...


Finding it SO SO SO hard not to overspend. Ins:
- chemical free deodorant from Waitrose (liquid crystal type one). Just to alternate with Dove which is the least aggravating for me but I hate using so many chemicals. But I also hate being smelly! Arrrrgghhh!

- Loreal collagen plumper (about £6 in Wilkinsons, on offer) - I was impressed with the texture of this in a pump so hoping this will be the same. I will use it on my neck and chest (have to use oil free for my face) as paranoid about having a wrinkly chest.

So overall not bad. Use ups:
- Laura Geller bronzer in Fair - wiba yes. I'm fussy about bronzers as you can end up looking weird. This is swirly baked - about £25 but lasts for ages. doesn't crumble which I've read the Bobbie Brown one. I won't rebuy until I've used all the cheapie ones I hate!!!

Forgot to post earlier but had to bin another old product. This time it was a half full bottle of Te Tao Body Lotion 75ml. Hadn't used it in years so no real loss there.

I was soooooooo good:A:A:A:A:A:A:A did not buy the soap and glory reduced bag from Boots as I have never treid the stuff and did not need any more items in my stash......could this be the beginning of a new me?
fed up with lots of gwps on my dressing table but determined to use stuff up before openning the nice new ones in the new year.

Oh dear:D Did you get it with the points? I know you had loads of points. And have you used that massage cushion you got with the points? I might save points for one of those next year.

I didn't get one today but only because it was sold out by lunchtime. Was told to come back at 9am if I wanted one and I think I do. It's €30, that's only €3 per item. Wish I had points to pay for it with but I used them to get the big No7 Mirror.

I am on the naughty step but it's very crowded! :rotfl:

I bought online but used the £5 off code so got it for £20 (see Kaz, I was telling the truth!). I will probably get it refunded when I collect instore and buy it again with points. Boots say that I can collect from 29 December but I am away over New Year so will ring the store and ask them to hold it for a bit longer.

With a bit of luck it will be down to £15 by the time I pick it up after New Year lol!!!

I also called Boots to tell them that they have the wrong RRP on the Girligo spray and they credited 500pts to my AC, yippee! And TCB has tracked at £1.03 so this will be a true bargain lol. Even paying with cash it'll only cost £12.97 in Boots logic (100 ordinary pts + 500 extra pts + £1.03 cashback).

:T

A couple of small UU's Dove volumising shampoo (the new range) WIBA, possibly if on offer it did give my hair a bit of oomph but nothing major and they have changed the fragrance from the original and I dont think its as nice.

A tube of Macleans toothpaste, got 3 more in the stash!
