No Buying Toiletries in March Challenge

sunshineyday

evening all,

have to do a quick post and run,

so, welcome all newbies:wave: and to those that need them,

I have three uu's to declare:
Gok shower gel - smells delicious so probably a good job it's only available at Christmas - I have enough shower gels to keep me going till then

Tigi superstar conditioner - part of a gift set I was given, wnb as really don't think it did anything

Morroccanoil treatment oil 100ml - love this stuff but I'm gobsmacked at how quickly I've uu this and at £30 a go! Will buy again but not right now as I've a few serums to work through first.

off to the shower now then heading out, hopefully catch up with the chat tomorrow,

happy pampering, xx

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 )

..

That is really difficult at first. It used to take me up to 20 minutes to get them in and I used to be scared that I couldn't get them back out again. The only thing that made me keep going was that I could see so well with them in:)

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

A £5 skincare voucher from Boots given to you with the receipt when you spend £5 or more. It feels like a gift voucher and you feel obliged to use it but really it's just Boots trying to make us spend more. Skinnies aren't as useful now as in the past because cleanser and toner (cheapest things) are excluded.

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!

Whimper... I love drinking chai, I didn't know it had made it in to a shower gel. I'm like Celebrate, a bit naive.

Googled it and it's Lush. That explains it, I was trying not to read the catamag.

On the plus side I have a 'free' tenner to spend on Amazon from doing surveys that I have earmarked for toiletries at some stage.

Wonderful that you are going to get some housework help Kaz.

Celebrate - just a thought, is it possible for you to ease your burdens by employing a cleaner for an hour or two a week? (Mine's c9ming tomorrow! :j )

I love the idea of giving up toiletries for lent:rotfl:
I've got some INs today so we'll see if I last till Easter:o

-Live XXL hair dye £3 rollback in Asda
-Sure Roll-On £1 rollback in Asda
-Nina by Nina Ricci mini from eBay
-Prada, Narcisco Rodriguez & Lolita Lempicka types from Perfume Parlour

I had a look in 2 shops for the G mag with All About Eyes but there's none to be had. Plenty of both moisturisers and make up items and a few with the liquid soap and scrubs. I've already got both moisturisers, used the Dramatically Different this morning and wasn't overly impressed, I've used better and MUCH cheaper. Think I might give up looking for the Eye Cream although it is the one thing I do need:(

And FINALLY, because I'm feeling naughty....
Two elderly hippies are sitting in the sun smoking some we ed. One turns to the other and says
"Have you ever been picked up by the fuzz?"
The other looks into the sky, deep in thought and replies
"No. But I've been swung round by the t1ts!

Now read that at work without sniggering at your screens

Funny!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it.

Now I think lynseydee that you deserve to be our - heroine of the week - you're showing fighting talk and its impressive stuff. So you should have a thinkie overnight - and tell us all tomorrow evening what pampering we should do - an online pajama party! I love the thought of writing on here tomorrow with a face mask and hair mask on!

Right then as soon as lynseydees online she'll give us our pampering instructions for this evening! I may have a shower now to prepare and dig out some pampering bits. So reviews on what we're using and lots of fun!
:T

I'm missing the mass pamper for my live music club. Mine's a modest stash though (and getting more modest by the month!)

Me too, could drink some right now :drool:

Got my Debenhams order today (have already confessed to it ) and in it was a 20ml elemis melting cleansing gel, I was one happy girly! I now need to avoid the Book People's free delivery code (That might be hard )

Gonna have something to eat and watch a couple of episodes of Glee, hten will be back for the pamper party! Yay! :j

Hey lyndsey, I'm not that far away from you (in Bath) and Swindon is my bestest, favouritest place for shopping :j:D:cool: So you know where I am if you need a friend/cry/lunch/copious amounts of alcohol/chocolate

I like Bath, visited last year with my mum and went to the Thermae Bath Spas for the afternoon. It was lovely, especially the rooftop pool.

You might regret saying that, I might just end up sending you a pm one of these days :rotfl:

(btw, I'm in Calne)
