No Buying Toiletries in February Challenge

[

I sold some unwanted clothes and shoes too, I made £81 in all :j:j:j, I may leave it in my Paypal account and use on Boots.com when I need something (where else can I use Paypal?). I quite fancy some Clinique All About Eyes concealer, but at £16 its a bit steep for me normally so I might just treat myself. I am nearly out of the Collection 2000 "touche eclat" concealer.[/QUOTE]

some of the cheap online beauty sites also take paypal.....I get paid to do surveys and some companies will pay you via paypal and (unlike quidco) not take any money off.I save it up and then if I want something can treat myself(also if I buy anything on ebay)they dont always have a lot of clinique but if you wait for bonus time:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:...should not encourage you....I only ever buy clinique and clarins from online sites or at bonus time.I love clinique concealer pens but found the all about eyes a bit heavy for me

I looked at the Liz Earle TSV. Sadly I don't use 3 of the full size products included. Shame as I liked the idea of trying a chemical free shampoo. Let us know how you get on with that

I am using the LE schampoo and their conditioner for normal hair. This is fab, it makes my hair shiny and gives it more volume than other products and my sensitive scalp can also tolerate it.

Can defintely recommend it.

If you hear the sound of cries - it's me. It's official the Collection 2000 Powder Mineral foundation has been discontinued. Sniff. Can't believe it. It's my HG. I am devastated!!!!

My commiserations - I hate it when that happens. If Laura Geller changes Balance N Brighten now that I have this as my HG I'll go mad. It took me ages to find a really good mineral foundation.

Enjoyed a lovely pampering session tonight but still have no UUs to report. My Decleor Clay mask in now spluttering and I really want this out of the way so I can get stuck into my MB Snowclay mask which was bought a while ago.

I will also be attacking my hand cream tube with scissors tonight to get to the last dregs of it before I open my S & G one.

The Decleor clay mask if my HG one. It really brightens my skin and I can feel that my tube is getting light. Let me know how the MB one compares though will you?

I'm using S&G Hand Food at the moment. Not my favourite as I find it too greasy. Hopefully though the tube will see me to the end of the month and I can then hopefully treat myself to a tube of L'Occitane Lavender hand cream. It's a shame that I don't have my own desk at work as I'd take some hand lotion (of which I have loads) and keep it on my desk.

One UU today: Full size Elemis Lavender toner WNBA. have been trying to find an alternative to LE Instant Boost Skin Tonic. This is not it as it's dearer and still not as effective. Use too little and it does nothing, use too much and it dries my skin out. Does smell lush though.

UU Lush candy bar bubble slice, just used my last piece of it. WIBA yes once I've used all the rest of my Lush stash

I'm jealous of everyone else's work stashes, they are much more exciting than mine!

In my handbag:
Avon Care handcream in xmas packaging, and not from this xmas either. Nearly finished now!
Bourjois mineral face powder in Vanille
Hard Candy Icicle lip balm which I don't like cos it gives me 80s frosted lips!
Teeny nail file
No 7 lip gloss in a pinky colour, no idea what cos the name has rubbed off. Nearly finished
Avon lip gloss in Darling pink, this is really old but I like the colour so keep using it.
The concealer bit of an Avon foundation and concealer combo which is also nearly finished

I don't have my own desk but in my lab coat pocket I have a GWP size Clinique superbalm which should finish any day now!!
This is very naughty because I'm not supposed to put on make up in the lab but when you need balm you need it now!!

Have decided that my handbag collection is just rubbishy ends of bits, maybe I should update it from the stash!

Wow Mooloo, what a great stash to come home with :beer:

I've sold a couple of items on eBay this afternoon,

Gok Gold Body Oil (would never have used this, I don't like to sparkle)
Baylis & Harding 100ml bottles of Shampoo & Conditioner (didn't think this would be any good on my dyed red hair, should have used it when I got it re:PRCP:()

I sold some unwanted clothes and shoes too, I made £81 in all :j:j:j, I may leave it in my Paypal account and use on Boots.com when I need something (where else can I use Paypal?).

You know you can transfer from Paypal to your bank account, takes a couple of days and then you can spend the money wherever you want!!:j

Wow you guys can chat! Only just caught up again...no UU yet for me and I discovered some extra BS mini's that were part of a gift set, I'd obviously hidden them in the bathroom cabinet at some stage but they have come back to haunt me! Only dregs in them though so hopefully gone soon

Hangbag stash, great idea:

Mini Ted Baker body spray
Boots strawberry lipsalve
Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse foundation
Natural Collection brown Mascara
Rimmel Hide The Blemish Concealer
Rimmel Soft Kohl black eyeliner

Not a massive amount as I don't wear make up everyday but these are the essentials for zombie days...

Right now someone tell me I do not need to buy another lipstick just because it is "the perfect shade of nude"....

But if I do that it gets swallowed up by the day to day spends IYKWIM. Keeping it separate means its there as my treat money and not to be spent on cat food and Daz :rotfl:

If I go for the Bonus Time this week I'll have to move it tho:)

I have a 'chuck-out' to report - one of these:

http://www.boots.com/en/Nivea-Soft-Intensive-Moisturising-Cream-200ml_11521/

It was about 4-5 years old :eek: and has had about 1/6 of the tub left for aaaaages, so I binned it. :rotfl: Off to put £4.28 in the savings pot (although it probably didn't cost me that much - prob bought in the £ shop or somesuch). WIBA: no, bit boring IIRC, and the smell was bland. And not worth £4.28!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

I do that too. The money I get from eBay sales is money I am allowed to be frivolous with.

My eBay profits are for my house deposit, but as I've been doing so well lately I have spent some of it to treat myself to something I have wanted for ages but couldn't justify. :):):):):):)
