No Buying Toiletries in February Challenge

tommyk

hello, can I join in again this month please?
I was mostly good in jan:D altough my foundation has been on its last legs for ages, i keep finding just enough more in the pot, but will need to replace this month. No uu's to report im afraid, am onto a full size shower gel ans body lotion from avon, and a normandie body butter for night time.
Am going for a lovely long after work soak soon, so will enjoy using some lovely bubbles and scrub.

Actually - quick question for those including how much they have spend in their sigs.

Do you include things bought with points? for example mine is £45 :eek: but approx £20 of that was points/gift card spends.

:cool:

I only count things that I've paid cash for, I consider AC 'ins' as freebies, xx

@ Tara, I know that you can't return half used products to boots but I think that if a product stops working then I might go and complain to them. They may not do anything but then again, they might! My sister bought some cream and reacted badly to it and emailed boots. She ended up getting a full refund onto her boots card.
Anyway, I'll give it another try tonight, hope for better results
I have UU the Rivage hand emolliant cream today. WIBA?: No, probably not. It was nice and very moisturising but not widely available in this country. When I looked it up online it was very expensive. There is stuff that is just as nice but cheaper so I'll not worry about it! I've now dug out an aloe vera moisturizer. Actually the stash drawer of lotions is not that well stocked so I may need to buy some more this year!

Well, I'm glad I made you feel better!!! :rotfl:

mcculloch29 was the one who posted the Olay offer, I've sent off as well (twice - one for OH :rotfl: ) xo

It's for Ireland too, send one to your mothers house:)

Ins to confess here too:o

I needed contact lens solution so I bought it in Boots to get points and a skincare voucher. Then I found OLAY wake up wonder cream on clearance:jThe SA let me use the voucher so I only paid €0.49, not a bad price for moisturiser:rotfl:The clearance stand also had Marc Jacobs Lola body butter for €10 so I got that too but I paid for that with points. And I got a 90% off Fearne hatbox too yesterday:o

Does anybody here have/use Elizabeth Arden Prevage eye cream? I know it's not exactly MSE priced but it would last at least 6 months and could be purchased with a GWP (gift with purchase) which isn't so bad. I have the samples from last month and would :heart2: to buy it. Maybe when I've used up enough things to justify it :cool:

A throw away:
Max Factor liquid eyeshadow (in pinky frosty colour) - wiba no. Nothing exciting, think I got it on a 3 for 2 offer. I think I was trying to find a Benefit alternative for that sheen product. By the time I spend, waste, money on this - I may as well buy the right bl&&dy thing to begin with. Lesson learnt.

I'm really struggling with using a Max Factor foundation - I just look ill. It's so annoying - I can see how I used it and gave up immediately. But feel so bad binning it.
And those ruddy MUA bronzers, don't even talk to me about them, I hate them. I saw myself today and I looked like a ruddy (right word) clown.

But no ins - hurrah.

As promised, some pics for you guys :j:mad:;):o:eek::eek::rotfl:

make up (it looks worse than it really is!)


stuff in the bathroom (there is a bit more but it's kinda spread around). The stuff on the blue bag used to be on a over the door hanging shelves thing until it broke under the weight!!!!!


Stuff on dressing table - all the storage boxes are full! To be fair my OH does have 2 deodrants and a comb on there, so it's not all mine! :rotfl:


I also have a basket of minatures which I forgot to photgraph. Er, I don't think I will be buying anything until 2020! Looking forward to getting the space back to be honest!

Evening girls, I had the hairdresser today and I must be the only girl to go in for whole head of highlights but come out Katy perry brown/black :eel: :rotfl: I love it and someone needed to do a colour assessment so they know I don't mind changing colour so voila! I do have some ins to report but as they were paid in advantage points and were ridiculously reduced I think I can be excused!! For less than £20 I got...
3 x coloursport eyelash dye (£1 each!!)
Cotton wool (will be needed this week)
2 x nivea lip balms in the tubes, one is natural volume and the other is anti wrinkle effect (£1 each)
2 x garnier face wipes, velvety smooth (£1 each)
1 x witch cleansing and toning wipes (£1)
1 x garnier pure a night intensive treatment gel (£1.50)
1 x electric blue 17 mascara (as everyone on Mse seems to rave about blue mascara I thought I'd get in on the action :rotfl: and I had a mascara UU yesterday ) (£2)
1 x 17 super wear foundation SPF 15 (will be needing within the month or so) (£3)
Soooo please forgive me but bargains galore, and for all local girls stay clear of bletchley boots!!!
