No Buying Toiletries in February Challenge

EssexHebridean

Yes, fingers staying crossed for you here too Roshy - never give up hope until you know for sure that you're out of luck. If it turns out that you're not offered it then it simply wasn't right for you after all in spite of how much the opposite appears true.

Pampering session in the bath last night - used:
S&G Calm One, Calm All
FCUK Polished Sugar Scrub
Avon Footworks foot scrub (STILL spluttering! :mad:)
Avon Senses shower gel
Avon Planet Spa peel off face mask
Sanctuary Kyphi Body Butter (Scent of this is still lingering now, and it's lovely!)
Avon Dry Skin SOS handcream - also still spluttering. I've discovered that this will be coming through on reps clearance shortly so may well buy another then as it is discontinued

Off out with Mum this afternoon - I may have NPI's to resist as we are going to check out Home Bargains which has just opened a few miles away!

One uu to report-
Simple nourishing Body Wash-not sure if would buy again, sick of it(started with 10 bottles when ordered from tesco a discontinued shower gel for 12p each and they were oos so they substituted with Simple 1.99 each!. Ended up gifting 5 bottles to my mum and now i have only 1 left. Will be putting this one to the back of the queue for the time being

And it is oh so important for me to stick to this challenge after discovering my car now has to be scrapped due to the fact there are so many faults(would cost me over 600 to fix and its only worth about that!)....and i still have a large credit card bill from the last lot of repairs in august(also due to run out of interest free period in the next month

IT NEVER RAINS BUT IT POURS

On a lighter note does anybody have a pot of Sanctuary Zibu Body Butter they may not use/will consider selling to me. if so pls pm me as this is my mums HG BButter and would love one for mothers day as she has now run out

Oh I soooo long for one of those £5 vouchers, but I have banned myself from entering Boots during Feb, LOL! Hope you enjoy. PS - How much do you have to spend to get the voucher - I'm sure I am low on toothpaste....

Bad luck about the car. Mine has a few dents in it, and is creaking, but haven't got to face the MOT for a few months....

Glad you are on the mend Rosemary.
Still got my fingers crossed for you Roshy!

Still no UU yet for February, but have many splutterers. I am going to look through my stash again today and finish counting everything up which also keeps me away from the shops! I have a lot of sachets from magazines, some of them I've had a few years but never used, so I am going to start on these for some quick UU!!

Have been watching Liz Earle on QVC and really want to try Cleanse and Polish but I still have a few face washes to get through first. Maybe I can ask for a try me set for my bday, still an IN but I wouldn't have to pay for it!!

Also caught myself looking at the shower gels in the Avon book, thinking oooh I don't have any of those flavours and they're on special offer ... but no I will not buy!! Thats how I ended up with 40 shower gels in the bathroom cupboard! :eek:

Stay strong ladies!

Oh that's just typical innit?? :mad: Soon as you find a great product - they go and discontinue it!

I just want to say how much I love this thread! It has really encouraged me to use my nicer products first rather than keeping them for "a special occasion" which never seems to happen! Pink Rose Candle Philosophy is great.

As an example I used up some face mask this morning which I have had for ages. Was going to be keeping it for when I needed a treat - but I decided that day was today! It has really done wonders for my skin - it's so soft

Happy Saturday everyone!

I agree!! I've been using the Tresemme shower gel instead of saving it for a special occasion. Its amazing how such a simple thing has such a knock on effect for the rest of the day. I'm feeling good - and somehow it affects those around me too - just from changing a shower gel to one I love!

In fact, I've decided that if something in my stash doesnt make me feel good - I'm either going to try and use it for something else, or give it away.

For example, last night I used a Harley street face cream thats been in the cupboard for ages (it works but smells far too flowery for my face!) as a body lotion. At first I wasnt keen as it felt sticky, but half an hour later - I was amazed how soft the skin on my arms and legs felt!!! So I'm gonna use it for that in future


P.S. How the heck do you multi quote??? I can't do it!

Click on the icon next to the Quote icon (two multicoloured speech bubbles). This will place a tick on it. Then when you click post to thread the quotes appear.

Roshy - you might well find that in making a mistake and noticing it in the later interview it works in your favour - still keeping everything crossed for you.

This is a very good point!!! :T

rachel84 - just checked out that Sanctuary night concentrate on the Boots website... marine complex eh? Sounds like it may be a cheaper version of this... http://www.elemis.com/bodycare/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=53 :D:D
