No Buying Toiletries in Jan 2011 !!!!

sofababe

Oh, and I've just ventured into my son's room and he has a Boots bag on his bed. Amongst other things he's bought toothpaste, when he gets in I will show him the 8 tubes in the stash drawer:eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Show him the stash drawer so that he can shop from there in future. How about leaving a little money box in there too so he can pop the money in when he's shopping?

February is going to be my no buying month too!! Absolutely no buying, no way!!
Although the minute I decided this I found out Debs were doing Clinique bonus time in February. Which no-one on here will buy obviously!:p
It is also a coincidence that my no buying month is the shortest month btw.:D
xx

Hopefully it will be my no buying month too - except for stuff I've run out of . Not interested in the Clinique stuff so thats a start I guess :rotfl:

A couple more UU's, an IN and an unexpected OUT to report tonight.

UU's
No 7 P & P Beauty Serum 5ml: WIBA? Yes (am bidding on one on eBay and have a couple on my watch list just in case :rotfl:) Love this stuff - makes my face feel all MMMmmmmm
Superdrug BathBombs: WIBA? No - too fruity for me and didn't last - just sort of faded. Another gift - I really must tell OH that he doesn't just have to buy gifts from the closest shops to the bus stop - luckily opposite it is LUSH
FCUK Body Scrub: WIBA? Yes when on offer - doesn't smell as nice as the BS Spiced Vanilla one I'm NOT going to buy :rotfl:
LUSH Maple Taffy Lipbalm: WIBA? Not sure - love the smell and taste but it went ever so bitty after a couple of weeks.

IN:
LUSH Maple Taffy Lip Scrub: (Sort of): Mixed the remains of the lipbalm with a spoonful of sugar and a tiny dash of olive oil and made some lip scrub. Will see how it goes

OUT:
£land Toner(can't remember name!): Have been looking for this for a couple of days (as the one I'm using is on it's last legs - hopefully will last until Monday) but can't find it anywhere. Discovered that OH gave it to DD last weekend. He thought I wouldn't mind as 'it would help with the challenge thing'. Bless Of course now I have to buy one :rotfl:

Did anyone else join the 'Foam Party' thing for Colour Blend Foam in the hope of getting a free hair colourant? http://www.myfoamparty.com/

As with all these survey thingys that offer a decent freebie, it might pay to think of the answers that the people giving the survey would want to hear.:D

Another UU, Boots Botanics body overnight hand and nail cream. WIBA yes, I love the smell and its nice and thick. Onto the Santury hand cream now...£5 in the pot.

morning all,
a uu to declare : bayliss & harding skin spa shower gel, this was part of a christmas present, it was pleasant enough to use and had quite a nice aroma but nothing special so I probably wouldn't buy it, going to crack open my molton brown now - yay!!

have a stress-free day ladies, xx

Lemon Tree, I only found them in the big one in the city centre. They had moisturizing gloves (£6.7), the muslin cloths, eyelashes curler (£6.7), brushes, make up sponges, exfoliating sponges... most for around £6ish, except the exfoliating sponges which were under £4 and it was what I got. Muslin cloths come in a packet of 3 for £5.70 or so. They were in a long shelf with other brushes, the fake nails, eyelashes, etc. They were away from the make up so unless you go there on purpose you miss them. Remember the voucher is for both No7 and Ruby & Millie, R&M has a good eyelashes curler for £8. All these items are together in the shelves. They are packaged in a transparent bag with a reseleable zip, the No7 or R&M logo clearly visible in front and hanging from the shelf. I went to three different ones before I went into the big one and saw where they "hide" it lol. I also saw that there is a No7 sun protector for the hair in the sun and tan shelves, it is a big bottle and costs £7, so if you are usually going on holiday on summer and you use this kind of products, it could be a good way to stock up in advance. Same price for No7 wipes. You can tell I wandered around with my voucher for ages! lol I have another voucher, so I might go and get another sponge, since it is a completely free item It is quite big, palm size with a triangular shape.

My splutterers are all still spluttering well. I had the most flatulent sounding bathroom on the planet this morning - foot cream- PHLARPH! - face cream - FLURPH! ... Plus the amazing everlasting Mitchum roll on anti persp. which is still producing product though apparently empty when held to the light.

Had a lovely S&G bath last night, using calm one calm all, flake away, scrub your nose in it, face mask (can't remember the name - oops!) and then daily smooth - quite impressed with myself, nothing used up but it's all being used.
