No Buying Toiletries in Jan 2011 !!!!

Pink, I feel for you. I seem to have aquired a lovely pimple on my bum! It's right in the crease and gets squished every time I try to walk. Not good as I have work tonight.
We went out last night for a meal with DH's work colleagues. Lovely food, lovely restaurant. Yummy. Good times. I had a quick bath as we were picking up people at 6.30. I got out and smothered myself in the sanctuary cream. It's fine so I think that the plastic of the bottle has just discoloured. It does still need to be used up though and I'm gutted I didn't go looking and find it earlier as I love it.
It did make my left knee burn a bit though for some strange reason!Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -

It was me (And, Andrea) who posted about the pink rose candle and I'm delighted it's taken off as a philosophy ... I was a fan of Erma Bombeck's for years, but her books were hard to find here.
I've just ordered the one book I know that has If I Had My Life Over To Live Again in it (the origin of the pink rose candle) from the States. (MSE note: Much cheaper buying a used copy) I'm sure many of the other books will have it in, but I wanted to be sure.
If I was a smart, marketing-style woman I would manufacture pink rose candle treat sets, with a copy of If I Had ... and some luxury pamper products, including of course, a pink rose candle.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
2 UU's for me,
Yummy shower gel, wiba, no. Its an ok fragrance but it didn't stay creamy for long and went like water. Waste of money really
Nivia deodorant, wiba, yes if on offer. This was a free sample can I recieved when I ran the RFL last year. Its a lovely deodrant and it did keep me dryer for longer but its expensive if its not on offer.
I love the pink candle theory, I can't wait until my room is back together when I am going to melt my snowball candles. They are amazing and only brought out for christmas but I have always wanted to burn them but yet wanted to keep them. I will burn them on my first night in my new room :T0 -
I have a UU! Asda cheap hairspray. WIBA?: Well, it did the trick. I don't often use hairspray (although I'm trying to UU what I have now) but if I'm going out and want my hair to look nice, I use hairspray. It all depends if I ever get around to getting my hair cut and whether I'll need to use products on it then I suppose!Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0

Oh Kaz how I wish.... I still have far too many products and to be honest I still can't see a dent in my stash. But I am addicted to this thread and committed to using up my stash
.
I picked up some of the late Christmas prezzies and I got two lovely sets - Elle MacPherson and a No7. Since I have avoided the sales for toilertries I am really chuffed and will continue to ignore the sales, glitches and grabits.
I am going to update my inventory and repost it.

I've tried Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel spot wand and Clearasil 4 Hour spot gel with no success in the past so if anyone with very spot-prone skin has found anything that actually does work, I'll be eternally grateful for the tip!
I am a fellow spot sufferer although they are getting better as I get older!! I have tried most spotty creams in my time and find the best have salicylic acid in. I am currently using Avon Clearskin Professional range, it has a facescrub, toner pads, moisturiser and spot gel all with salicylic acid in, though I don't use them all at the same time.
Have also just used a Freederm gel which did nothing, so would not recommend personally!
