I do NEED eye make-up remover and cleanser though cause after taking my make-up off tonight I haven't got any left. I do have 4 NO.7 vouchers which I could use or anything else you can recommend that is cheap-ish .. any advice?

Hey girlies...Hope you all had a lush weekend...
No UU at the moment, but no spends either, so that's good. Couldn't resist Boots 75% sale on wednesday though, got some S&G which I couldn't believe were still there, but these have been put away for gifts, well they have at the moment anyway!
Also got some Twinings sets, which are really nice. I now get a lovely HUGE mug of tea in the morning.
Keep seeing you all chat about the body shop sale, and finding myself looking at the website. But so far, refraining from ordering anything. I think it's actually because of this challenge. When doing it last year, and using up all my stock, I found out that I don't actually like some of the body shop lotions.
Everyone is different in what they like, and taking into account the rose candle story, I have decided only to buy the nice things that I like...
Keep up the goodwork everyone x:hello:No more toiletries challenge :T

Me good too!! Another £2 in the pot - amazing how motivating all this joining in is!!!
Finished some Avon hair thing in an orange bottle - WIBA poss but I have 2000 hair serums to use up - this is one thing I have a big stash of as I didn't know how to use them - always made my hair a greasearama! However think I have worked them out so will be gingerly working my way through the next bottle!!
May have an in in the next couple of days, Avon Botanicals has not been nice for my skin so am considering buying some Nivea soft as it is marvellous for me - is it wrong am I upset by this as I want my HG to be some wonderful expensive lookng gorgeous smelling product - not just Nivea!DFW Nerd #1310 -
Another couple of Ins 2 x Sanex roll-on deodrant (Mr A's £1 each) and Andrew Barton blonde shampoo and conditioner.
Used one of my bargain Aapri facial pads this morning and they are still as good as they were when I last used them (bout 20 years ago!)0 -
I went to a small Boots with the intention to use my No7 voucher but the cheapest I could spend it on was a Ruby&Millie set of sponges for unde £7, so I kept it and I will look in a bigger one what they have got. I intend to spend as little as possible! I also found a £10 Boots voucher between my old post, so quite chuffed. I think I will use that voucher to buy hair dye, since my roots are starting to show quite clearly! Does it count? I had to buy the hair dye anyway, I will use it straight away and it will cost nothing... I can always report it the same day as an IN and an UU lol
About eye make up remover HG, I have not tried that L'Oreal one and it is a great price as to let it pass, but my HG one is the Clinique "Take the day off", a tiny amount goes a long way and it leaves nothing behind. I am quite happy with that one, Lancome has one similar, they are silicone based and you have to shake them first.Quit smoking *1st January 2010*

Had a busy weekend so not had time to post - every one seems to be doing really well though.
Just the one UU to report - Dove handwash (in the yellow bottle) love the smell but WNBA as looking for cheaper options (and have other handwashes in stash to use). Now started on a radox one.:)
Got a sample P&P serum that I've cut open so this should be gone tomorrow too:)Save money on toiletries: no new/duplicate items until I've used up all existing supplies

Another UU for me tonight.
John Fredia Shape and Shine Hairspray 50ml. I still have a larger half full one in my stash that I don't remember buying - so who knows how old it is. WIB? Nope leaves my hair too sticky for my liking especially as I had it radically chopped off in 2 months ago. I am sticking to UU my Gum which is still splutering. Then I might need to have a go at the larger Shape and Shine.
I now have no change left in my purse. This weekend has now cost me £12 in my pot - should have thought of that before opting for £2 a pop!!
I will also have to start carrying my trolly token thingy with me. During the week headed over to Mr M's but didn't have a pound coin for the shallow trolly. Ended up lugging around a basket which did keep the shopping costs down as I could only carry a small amount.
Also based on EH recommendation and other fans I am going to invest in the L'Oreal eye make up remover on offer in Sainsburys. I like the Clinique one and a cheaper alternative would be most welcome. Feel I can splash out as I am nearly out of it and I haven't had any INs this month so far.:jNo buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -

Lemon Tree you have got my curiosity as to why you got your Christmas pressies two years late? What is the story there?No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380
