No Buying Toiletries in February Challenge

Comments

  • I have been meaning to post in so long but the threads are moving so fast I can't keep up!

    I have a few use ups to report:
    - Palmolive Soft and Gently Frozen Coconut & Peach Deodorant
    - Blistex Intensive Moisture Lip Balm
    - Superdrug Vitamin E Moisture Cream 475ml
    One order, which I am extremely chuffed about! Just ordered Benefit powder time for £11.25 including delivery from Debenhams. I've wanted to try these for ages, but have always balked at the cost. Now I can try the 3 colours for half of the price of one! I've only got one blusher at the moment that is probably 3 years old, so as soon as these arrive, it's going in the bin! I'm just hoping the powders will survive delivery.

    I really want to order this too! I'm trying to stay strong because I want so many blushers at the moment that i'm afraid that this will set me off :rotfl:

    The Powder Time set is really lovely! Great way to try Benefit powders. I had a little try of the new Bella Bamba one today and it is really nice!

    One UU for today, Soap and Glory Off Your Face wipes. WIBA - probably not, I wasn't keen on the smell and it didn't really do anything for my pores as it claimed.

    UU a pot of BS Carrot Moisture Cream. I do love this stuff, I have another in the stash, but I've also just ordered some Olay 3 Point Treatment Cream which I'll start when it arrives, and keep the BS as back up or for my "decollete" (I love saying that!:rotfl:)

    One IN- Clinique All About Eyes Concealer. I do like this, as I'm fairly pasty so when I get dark circles (I'm a sometime insomniac:() they really show up and this stuff sorts them out. It was a freebie tho, as the mate who had let me try it out said I may as well keep it as she never used it :beer: She wouldn't take anything for it so she's gonna get a lovely gift at birthday time!! And I am just about out of concealer, and was going to buy it anyway at £16.

    On the Clinique site it says Not available online, but doesn't say that on the Debenhams site. Let us know if it works!:D Not that we want to buy, we're just curious, obviously:o
