No Buying Toiletries in Jan 2011 !!!!

dippykitty

Where is the dry shampoo deal? Going to town tomorrow and want to stock up if possible. I have greasy hair but only wash it twice week now so I get through some!

Can't wait to see the expression on my DD's face tomorrow when she comes home and I tell her I'm going to a foam party :rotfl::rotfl:

Thank you to the person who posted the link (McCullogh??) xx

The strange thing is that when she was about 12/13 she had a stash of carrier bags:eek::eek::eek: Not even nice ones, just normal everyday ones, and I wasn't allowed to throw them out!!

I used to collect carrier bags too I've grown up a little and now it's jute bags and foldaway bags :rotfl:

......(must be Soap Dodgers Month at Superdrug )


£2.13 each or THREE for £3.49!!! Absolute bargain. I have never seen it as cheap as that.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I've seen it for 99p in Home Bargains before - full size can not 'handbag' sized

In superdrug


One UU for me - Finally my night cream has ended :j Aldi Siana Nourishing Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream: WIBA? I probably will. I know it's supposed to be this miracle cream at an affordable price but it's a little greasy on applying but sinks in nicely. I will probably get it as a 'tide over' if there are no offers or glitches about when I need to buy one next.

Tomorrow I get to go 'stash shopping' and choose my next one :T

:cool:

She is pretty organised, but so am I, even though I have a fairly large stash, I know what I've got and (roughly) where it is. DD does buy far too much food IMO, her larder is full to bursting, I could live out of her cupboards for a month I'd say!!

Hoarding tendencies must be genetic then :rotfl:

Looks like I started something with the foam party.... Reading the small print dotted around the Foam Party website, Clairol want everyone to give it a go in early March and report back en masse.

I'll give the foam party a miss... I've never dyed my hair and wouldn't want to either! I like the colour of it. I'd probably dye it if it went grey though.

Thanks for the link to the foam party thing. I have applied and also got that "we'll be in touch" reply. I have been honest with my answers but I do experiment with my hair a lot... too much my hair would say... lol

What's Elasticizer? Is it a hair conditioner? How much does it cost?

Yes... and a lot.

Hi all

I can't keep up!!!! I've been sooo busy. No UUs to report, but am getting near the end of a few things. I have a few INs to report... several (cough) Batiste dry shampoos but they are on an amazing offer so I have stocked up!!!

I've started going to Curves (really need to lose weight) and am enjoying it! Does anyone else go? xo

Thanks for the info on the Batiste - it sounds a good deal but am I being dim where is it being sold.

Thanks

Oh have just seen where it is being sold - Thanks

There's an OS tip about brushing talc through your hair to freshen it up if you don't have time to wash it. Well the dry shampoo's work on the same basis except they smell better :rotfl:and doesn't leave you looking like an am-dram grandma :rotfl:

Your hair type (I would think) is the ideal example. You shake the can and spray (like Hairspray) where required - just on the roots for example - leave for a few moments then brush and style as usual. Basically it just soaks up the greasy bits - but it sounds nicer to say 'refreshes when in a rush'

I love them and am planning on stocking up while the offer is still on. I first used them when I was in hospital and didn't have the energy to bath or shower everyday and like to have them in for my 'low' weeks

:cool:

Thanks very much for explaining it so well - hope you feel better soon and sleep well

Now, if I buy some before the end of the month I can still try to go with a no spend month in February. Me thinks a little visit to SD is on the cards tomorrow. Much more important than housework :eek:

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.

Thanks for making me laugh I so know what you mean :rotfl:

re did the foam party and got in this time after ticking all the "right" boxes!

had a look at the stash ....good news only 1 large and 2 small body butters left:)bad news about 20+(did not have the nerve to count them) hand creams left.plus loads of other stuff so don't really need to do the clinique bonus time....except that I could do with some moisture surge to be ready for my hols and always need concealer pen so might as well get a gwp at the same time:rotfl:

OOPS, just been in the airing cupboard looking for toothpaste(just 1 small one from Bzzzz left)BUT found another 4 large and 2 small body butters:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: and yet more hand cream....at this rate I won't need to buy any more for at least a year.

must also be cracking up as am sure there was some more toothpaste as usually have loads in:(

Good news DS2 now has a job and will be moving in with girlfriend(I will miss him of course but at 23 it is time he went his own way and after 3 years at uni it is not good for him to be dependent on us.

Could you give any of the body butters or hand creams as a little set as a pressie for someone? :A

No, not at the moment :A ... but I don't get the opportunity to buy - if i was working near a town with Boots and Superdrug, then I think I probably would :rotfl:

Someone has just told me that there is a branch of Sallys near me, that often have a good selection of OPI nail polish, I'm trying to pretend I never heard that :eek: otherwise I'd be there a couple of times a week!

I do have a little mini stash of travel sized bits and bobs from Clarins that were GWPs, which I keep for holidays.

Good to hear you dont have a stashing problem - lets hope no one on here leads you astray. Some days you cant see the wood (the stash) for the trees of B**ts, B*dy Sh*p and others :rotfl:
Thanks for the tip about the Superdrug deal - I wonder if that includes the brunette one which I prefer (doesnt make me look odd or old!):p
Going to bin the Laura Geller Balance & Brighten (in work make up bag) - mainly cos looks so so old and, its cracked so I think its drying up. Also it makes me look weird, too shiny!
