No Buying Toiletries in Jan 2011 !!!!

mad_scientist

One IN for today, my first in January though so not too bad!

Bought Karma solid shampoo bar from Lush cos I have wanted to try them for ages.
Went into Lush to buy tea tree water but since it now costs nearly £7 :eek: for a bottle I think this might be the last time I get it. I could get 7 bottles of basics boots or supermarket toner for that and prob not see much difference in my skin!
Also was going to use a £5 No 7 voucher to get eye make up remover but this has gone up from £6.50 to £7.75 since last time I bought it and its not worth spending the extra money on IMO.
Everyone is out to get my money it seems!

I have an IN to report - I bought some Radox 2in1 refresh shower gel and shampoo which eucalyptus and citrus oils in it. Will probably just use it as a shower gel - not too sure what it would do to my hair. Has anyone tried using these 2in1s as shampoo? x

I really like the Lush solid shampoo's for travelling, no fuss with any bottles.:T

My first spend this month. Sainsbury's twinblade razor blades for 70 pence, this is a bargain if they are good. I had completely ran out.

Someone posted on here to say that they are now keeping a record of the amount of money they are spending on toiletries this year. I have started to do the same. Thanks to whoever mentioned on here.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

I have, but they are very drying and you need a conditioner to entangle your hair

I checked my stash of showergels, I have 15 bottles under my bed lol:shocked:

Lots of things to report in on

UU's
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush WIBA? Yes, i think the this is my favourite scent out of all their dry shampoos.
S&G The Daily Smooth WIBA? Maybe...i liked it, but i get a bit bored of the scent after a while.
TBS Carrot Moisturiser WIBA? If it was on offer then maybe. I liked it, done it's job and moisturised well, although didn't do anything else for my skin.

Hi all

Not been able to catch up for a couple of days, you're a chatty bunch :rotfl:

hope I can remember everything, as I can't use multi quote for some strange reason :cool:

Footymadgal - Your post made me laugh about Paramount hotels.... I used to work at the head office there and it must have been bought out 5 years ago, if not longer :rotfl::rotfl:

Roshydoshy - Hope the interview went well, fingers crossed!!

Essex - I can't believe you got all that - i'm not keen on a couple of things from the S &G, might try exchanging them this week.. :T

I've no uu to report for the last few days, although hubby has just said hes ran out of 'Attitude' aftershave - i told him with a straight face he owes a quid in the pot :rotfl::rotfl:

Went to Boots today, but didn't buy any toilettries, got some wrapping paper and a couple of photo frames from the 75% sale.... I did place an order online the other night for the GOK set and a Male Botanics set, but they're both for gifts so dont count.....

Hi everyone

Just binned an eye serum as it looked a really strange colour and had obviously gone off -Liz Earle smoothing line serum 10ml. WNBA - Eye creams should be 15ml full size and although it is hydrating and soothing - it does nothing for puffy eyes - if anyone has a HG eye cream/gel/serum for puffy eyes I would love to know especially before hayfever season starts as I wake up each morning with a different monster face!:eek:

So far this week have resisted:

Boots 75% off sale. Online not working for me, local store had nothing in so just bought photo album and Christmas Photo baubles. Not going to use No 7 £5 off voucher either. :T

Bought online two Body Shop medium gift sets (Moringa and Shea), Coconut bag and Strawberrry cube set - for birthday gifts and again bought nothing for me and not even tempted! This is thanks to all you lovelies on this thread:D

Feeling :A:A:A at the moment especially after my blip earlier this month on the L'occitane website:o. Sure I can make it to February....

Oops.

I had an unfortunate accident today.

3 soaps found their way into my basket in Lush and 8 sale items fell in while I was in Body Shop. I honestly only went into both shops because my god daughter dragged me inside. And in BS I got £80.50 worth of stuff for £13.90. In total I spent £25.10 - a much smaller amount than it would have been a couple of months ago. Plus I don't live near either shop, so as there's no danger of me falling off the wagon again any time soon, I thought I might as well be Really Bad all in one go.:D

I've change my siggy to show the 11 :eek: INs.
And have dutifully sat on the naughty step for 42 1/2 minutes.

I don't feel despondent or guilty. These weren't unconsidered purchases. I really did think about whether I wanted to buy the items rather than just shoving them in the basket and I chose what I wanted rather than picking up one of everything. I ensured that everything I bought is something I will use and it was a well deserved pampering treat.

(Anyone convinced??):rotfl:

PS: flabberghasted at how much the soaps have gone up in Lush since the VAT changed :mad: and the girl in the pound shop said that they are soon increasing their prices to £1.29 :p!!!
