No Buying Toiletries in March Challenge

thevicster

juliebunny, that is HILARIOUS :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Celebrate, I was thinking about joining a gym too, but just KNOW I would bump into some of my customers who would want to know what won the 3.00pm race at wherever. It happens all the time. I mean does it look like I know? Am I at work? NO! Therefore I do not know! Also, I've had some really poor quality stuff from Argos too, the last two things I've bought (CD player and cordless phone) have had to go back for replacements as they didn't work properly :mad:

Okay, so I have been a VERY BAD GIRL today :cool: Popped into Boots to get my eyebrows done annnnnnnnnnd bought:

2 x no 7 face wipes
2 x cucumber travel face wipes
eye make up remover pads (all on 3 4 2 with no 7 voucher)
OS mint and tea tree conditioner
natural collection pressed powder
celia birtwell bag (for mags30)

Then I wandered into M&S to have a look at the sale and got

2 x rosemary and mint shampoo
2 x rosemary and mint conditioner
Noir perfume (smells terrible - silly me - will use as a 'night' perfume:rotfl:)
2 x hello kitty lipgloss and nail polish sets (presents to go with boots manicure sets I bought in 75% boots sale)
set of talcs (birthday present for one of my lovely customers)
grapefruit shower gel (Got a bit of a thing about grapefruit at the moment - I am going to try and be very good and not buy the rest of the range :rotfl:)

Off to spit and polish the naughty step :cool::p

Looking forward to the online party!

Hi everyone! Well this is my first appearance in the March thread because I just haven't used anything up! Although that will change tonight because I have a few splutterings! I am now nearing the straight and narrow and my stash is almost non existent (bath products wise!). As far as cosmetics go, since the first of December, I have only bought a back up eye shadow for one that is almost done and the Mac Viva Glam Cyndi lipstick and lipgloss which are soon to be discontinued. That's it! I also think I've found my HG mascara, Revlon Grow Luscious! We'll just have to wait and see!

Oh and I might be having a blog sale of some makeup soon, I just find myself using my UD naked palette and some Bobbi Brown eyeshadows everyday and that's it!

I have been bad today as well - I popped into Superdrug after the opticians (where I was trying out contact lenses for the first time! Not the easiest of things to do so that'll be what made me do it )

I spent just under £21 but I will use everything (eventually)

- 2 x big bottles of head and shoulders shampoo (got 1.7ish bottles to use up first so these won;t have to wait too long)
- 2 x hairspray (this I actually needed although only orginally planned to buy the 1 as it takes me a long time to use up one bottle but it was on 'special offer' - this so called bargains are not always good!)
- bronzer (I didn't NEED this)
- Simple moisturiser (nor this)
- face mask (my current tube has about half left so this will get started in the not too distant future)
- tea tree oil for any spots I get - had a bottle of this several years ago and haven't bought any since but saw it today and thought I would
- a lovely purple nail varnish (can't say I needed this)
- nail varnish remover (now this I did need)

...off to the naughty step I go!.....

UU S&G shampoo WIBA YES! and already have two in the stash! Love it! I am using an Andrew Barton Blonde shampoo now as I have just had my colour done.

UU - Umberto colour bright vials x 4 WIBA No v dissapointed and I have two more in the stash! Lesson learned that a bargain may not be that good!

UU Avon Soft and Sensual shower cream WIBA this was a pressie from my Avon lady at christmas (cos I clearly spend to much money!!) and its lovely would defo get this again. Cracked open the S&G shower gel this morning and I think this could take some time to UU! One squirt on a puff made a lot of bubbles!

Hahahah,I just reread last nights post! I forgot to add that I was going to paint my toenails NOT SHAVE THEM!
The olay skinnie was 2009. I got 2 olay things last year with the £5 voucher. You know what? I'm a little way into the first one which I opened a couple of months ago. MiL bought me 1 christmas 2008 and 2009 so I used them last year. I had a cream one, hot one then a cream one and am now onto a hot one. I have a hot one in hand too.
Celebrate, I have UU loads and loads of stuff over the last year, believe you me! My block now is the no. of nivea facial things DH has. I don't think I'll end up using them as moisturiser cause it's cold!
Lovely lovely MiL takes the kids out on a Tuesday afternoon. She's retiring in June and would usually have the whole holidays off. So she comes in and sees my lounge FULL of clean washing to be sorted and ironed. She said she was thinking of coming round during the day when she retires to do some housework for me. The old me would have got really offended. The new me actually isn't at all. I know it only takes me a little while but I do blocks of nights so if she helps me out by doing things like cutting the lawn or helping me do some garden clearance etc, it will be done far far quicker. I think I will take her up on the ironing perhaps once a fortnight but other than that, I keep on top of it anyway. What a lovely offer though. I feel all now!
Anyhoo, I will now go and shove something in the oven for tea and get on and iron!

Phew - took me ages there to catch up with the last few pages. Have been down with a stomach bug the last couple of days so feel and look rotten.

A face mask and pampering session would probably do me the world of good.

Welcome newbies - lovely stashes there. Hope things are going better lyndseydee too.

Oh and I discovered a way of getting the stash down quickly, give shower gel to le fiance! He told me he goes through a bottle of lynx gel a week! So I tossed my 500g bottle of chai gel his way and he's taking his time using that baby up! He loves the scent (and it suits him quite well) and he admits a little goes a long way! To be honest, he's the one inspiring me to scale everything down. When we move in together at the end of the year, I want to be a girl that only buys things once she's used everything else up!

wow - fast moving thread again this month

Just back form a long weekend staying with DS2 and have a couple of UU to report :-

1. No7 radiance boosting hot cloth cleanser WNBA as didn't think it was anything special and have now opened a S&G Fab pore hot cloth cleanser from my stash

2. Lush dream cream - I've been using this up as a night cream and has been ok (lots of creams sting my skin but this was quite soothing) so WBA when I've worked my way through my stash of night creams and potions

Ok and now the ins :-

1. Spent my BS groupon voucher and bought, well loads...........
Sweet Lemon gift box (shower gel, scrub, butter, soap and bath lily)
Mini sweet lemon gift cube (mini shower gel and lotion with bath lily)
Large Satsuma shower gel
Papaya shower gel
Brazil nut shower creme
Passion Fruit shower gel
Raspberry shower gel
Tea Tree night treatment
All for the grand total of £12 (price of voucher:j) - most of the shower gels claimed by DS2 and the gift boxes have gone straight in the present drawer:):)

2. No7 Hair protecting spritz (free with combination of DS2's staff discount and £5 skinnie)

3. 2 x Soft & Gentle aromatherapy anti-stink (large size)(found on the clearance shelf in B**ts and paid £1.20 each (again after DS2's staff discount) - these are my HG deo's so felt justified in stocking up (only have 2 small tins in stash and 1 in use).

4. Whilst in Mr S****burys shopping, "that" magazine was winking at me as I loaded the shopping so final "in" is a Clinique Moisture Surge:p

5. I've also treated myself to an Aussie 3 minute miracle reconstructor as my hair is in terrible condition at the moment

Off to update my signature:o:o:o

ps. Hugs to those in need and I'm up for a pamper session tonight too :j

Okay I am probably being extremely thick here but what is a "skinnie"?

sundance218

I have been meaning to ask that question too!
