No Buying Toiletries in March Challenge

bargainbetty

Hello all,

Just a quick UU today - one of the Clarins sample/trial size moisturisers went yesterday. WNBA - really nothing sepcial for the price. Clarins have better options! That, and I won't be buying any till 2014.

Trudji - please go for it. Think of him as a PRCP opportunity. perhaps?

Best wishes to all for a lovely day x

I'm in regarding shower gels... still got a huge bottle from October and five full bottles. Then there's various opened ones dotted around the bath.

I totted up this morning - I have 7 bottles on the go at the moment as well as a bar of soap. I do this so i can suit my mood.

Free delivery on Liz Earle @ QVC...can't promise I won't buy the skincare essentials collection :eek: Especially as I will deserve a treat after going to the dentist:rotfl:

Oooh must go and look.

My replacement Groupon ASOS voucher has arrived so will be ordering my Lemon Aid and S&G shampoo later.

One UU for me today - tube of Tommy Girl body lotion. Love this and have ordered a lotion from Avon which I'm hoping will be subtle enough to go with the remaining shower gel.

Have bought some cotton wool pads and toothpaste today but don't count these as i don't stash items like this.

OMG - Im shaking now - how rubbish am I??!!!!! hope I remember to breathe.... :rotfl:

just to keep vaguely on topic, I have a new IN - well, it was already there,but I found it under my bed, so its not listed - a sample of PUMA perfume. Half gone after this morning - quite like it !!

I glot half way through doing a Lloyds order a while back but decided against it I was going for Lynx sprays and shower gels for DH but there wasn't enough that I had the burning desire to buy so I just shut the page. Maybe next year, when the stash is down, I could do a big online order to cover a whole years presents and toiletries. That would be a bit boring though wouldn't it?
I saw my first butterfly today unfortunately, I saw it being murdered and eaten on my clean non matching socks pile flaming cat!
I have a UU, Boots evening primrose foot lotion. I've had this for at least 5 years. Got it for Christmas 2005 or birthday 2006 from MiL. WIBA?: No, don't like the smell. It came with a nice jug though which I did like and I have kept
My eyes are goggling, I think I've spent too much time in and out today.
Catch you later

Hi ladies

I am going to get evicted from this thread.:oI have recieved my bodyshop voucher which I won by placing a best offer on ebay.I am thinking of buying the honey&oatmeal mask but I can't think of anything else to spend it on.i don't want to buy makeup or shower gels.I already use bits from the vitamin e range.The aloe and camomile sound nice but I would like to get a few items so would minis be best?

trudij

lol - we wont evict you - just feel hugged as we kick your bum in the direction of the naughty step !!!!

If it was me, and there were a few things that I wanted to try - Id go with the minis option, but if you have an expensive HG - it would be silly ( IMO) to not use the voucher for that....

oh - and he didnt win, but very very very worthy of :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Since I bought my urban decay pencils, I'm wearing more makeup - I am actually putting on eyeliner each day. I'm quite enjoying it

Still can't put eyeliner on very well - even looked for a you tube tutorial on it as I just look awful and my eyes look smaller when I put it on! Any tips welcome please!

A confession to make. Went to the beauty salon to have my eyebrows waxed and then went to TK Maxx. Found some SBC gel minis -which come in handy for hols - arnica, propolis, echinacea, lavender and aloe vera for £4.99 -a good price. Then spotted some bright orange packaging some MOP C-system products:T -(which I have too many of already). Anyway, it was a organza bag of C-straight (shampoo, conditioner, styling cream and hair turban towel) it didn't have a price on it and I asked the assistant how much it was - she didn't know and got someone to find out. I was waiting for ages and thought if they say £20 I won't bother because they have a similiar gift pack on the MOP website for that price. So after another five minutes of them trying to find the price of this set another assistant said it may be £7.99 or £9.99. I know that it was much, much cheaper than that but I kept quiet. In the end I said I would pay £7.99 for it! :rotfl:Really don't need it - so feel slightly guilty but when I added up how much it would have been on the MOP website for each individual item it was £52.85. :eek:
However, I updated my shampoo stash list:o and feel less happy about this bargain now: (Blue is in Use)

I might sell the Philip Kingsley on ebay as I don't know why I bought the set in the first place - (comfort toiletries buying again!). I have used MOP for the last 5 years and it suits me and doesn't flare up my itchy scalp. Thing is I would only want on ebay what I paid for it!

Anyway, off to the naughty step for the first time this month!:(

Just popping in quickly today,

a throw away for me today, BS grapefruit soap, this seemed to stop lathering up after a while, I don't get on with the BS glycerine soaps at all but this came in a gift set so though I would try it. Cracked open a BS Cranberry Joy to replace - this is lovely.

uu a mini sample of BS sweet lemon scrub, was disappointed, particularly as I have some of this in my stash. It seemed to disolve straightaway and only felt scrubby for about 10 seconds. Are all the BS ones like this does anyone know? I like Breakfast scrub and that scrubs till you rinse it off.

Well I went through all my stuff from my lloyds hoard, had a free body lotion too so something else to add to my collection...
Worked it out how much Id get refunded if I sent a few items back and it was £5.98 so Im debating if its worth it or not, kind of the opinion not really.
I don't know!

Was thinking I could try to shift it on ebay on a free listing day but then again I doubt Id even get that much for it all..So difficult lol
