  • I've used mine a few times a week but I've found it quite drying so you probably won't want to use it everyday. Not sure how often your meant to use but don't think my skin would stand everyday thats for sure!
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Alfiecat - is that the fab pore?? I used to use it once a week as a mask, once a week as a scrub and then use a normal facewash the other times.... its odd that having said that it can be either an exfoliator or a mask it doesnt give you any clues isnt it !!

    just off for a bath,but no prospects of any UU - nothing spluttering at all at the moment !!

    By the way - I've been poking around in my stash and have come across a tube of Time Delay radiance booster - what on earth is it and how do I use it? (I think I acquired this some time last year:o)

    I nearly bought this today with my second £5 voucher - from what I gathered you use it as a base for your make-up as it said 'put make-up on immediately afterwards'. I didn't buy it 'cos I don't wear make-up that often and I already have my green base under my foundation so don't need another layer :rotfl:

    It is confusing though - even stood in the shop I couldn't figure out whether you could use it without wearing make up :o

    ..... When somebody bought something you just hand them a couple you think they might like (based on what they bought) or just give a few random ones......

    I love the little sample pots - I got Carrot Moisturiser and Dream Cream today :D

    I'm very excited as I just won a holiday!!! I entered a competition on Facebook because I wanted to win the runner-up prize of a dozen Krispy Kreme Doughnuts :rotfl: but I won first prize!:D Two nights B&B stay in a Boutique Hotel thanks to Red Letter Days :j:j:j We're thinking of taking it in York over the summer if we can get a [STRIKE]sucker[/STRIKE] kind soul to doggywatch :D;)

    I'm a bit :mad: with my BS Cooling Leg Gel as it is proving reluctant to come out of the bottle :( I might have to get OH to decant it into another type of pot.

    Hope everyone's having a good evening :cool:

    :rotfl: I'm hoping they'll have posh ones I can steal :rotfl::rotfl:

    Grrrr at Purina - did you get anything in writing? or on screen? I'd just keep bugging them until they sort it. Write an email to the CEO :p

    Grr, thanks, Sarah, you have just given me the confidence I needed to chase them again! I've emailed them! I take in loads of rescue cats and kittens and used to spend a lot of time at the shelter. I think being knee deep in kitten litter trays :cool: is part of the reason for my toiletries 'fetish' - plus I'm constantly washing my hands/hibiscrubbing - it's just so nice just dive into a bath (run by bf if I call him nicely as I'm leaving :D) - although why is it that men never put in bubble bath unless you are super specific with instructions!!

    I'm really struggling with the no spend for Feb since 'obtaining' the Boots £5 voucher - what have other people spent theirs on? I always seem to end up getting a face wash....:)

    I've started to get a very good feeling each time I declutter a toiletry and write it down on my list, and the extra space makes me feel very virtuous. :A In fact, I reckon it's a better feeling than I get from buying toiletries! :D
