No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge

To the right is what I actually ordered, the Lavender Trio (Clean Hands Gel, 75ml hand cream, 125g soap). The sachets at the bottom are the two free samples I chose (a brightening mask and a rose hand gel). The shower gel, body milk, soap, mini hand cream and sachet came in the (free gift) little bag, which is super, super cute & I'm definitely keeping (and using)

Advice needed: I am wondering what to spend my £15 compensation vouchers on. I don't use styling products on my bob, so they are out. Wella and Herbal Essences are the two non-colourant options, any of you lovely gang use any of these products that you could recommend? (My hair: v. dark, coloured, dried out but usually very slightly oily, baby-fine, spaghetti straight usually)

I like most of the Herbal Essences Intensive Conditioners - I have fine, quite dry hair and they make it soft, soft, soft and they are BOGOF in SD at the moment

Just received my L'Occitane order (declared last month so there ). I'm really impressed with the speed. I decided against spending the extra £2 for next day delivery when I ordered Wednesday afternoon, but they sent it next day anyway and it's arrived!! Now waiting for my sisters to be around so I can give their bits to them before I open mine so I'm not even tempted to keep theirs Will post a pic of the free gift later bev - I think I'm a convert!

It all looks gorgeous - the cherry blossom shower gel is fantastic and the sample of rose delice hand cream I got with my last order and
I'm now wondering whether to buy it full size or not -but oops... I'm supposed to have a "no spend" month but i am drooling at the pic:drool:

Must get back on with the decorating...:(

Doh I'm so jealous, I'm stuck at work . Wonder if anyone would mind me having a bucket of hot water and some oils under the desk :rotfl:

i've got half a day off as went to a meeting and my manager told me to go straight home as i have so many hours on the books. wish i could find a lovely bowl to soak my feet in. Don't really like using the washing up bowl and it's always a squish. I don't want one of those leccy ones though.

I have an oblong one which is great for soaking feet for PYNM:)

fed up as just been thrown off consumer pulse panal with no warning:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:you get points by telling them what you have bought and get vouchers for each 10,000 points.I had about 7,000 so cannot even call them to claim.thye said they had enough people in my region but surely they always had:mad::mad::mad::mad:sent them a reply saying how upset I am but don't suppose that will help...used to earn about £20 a month or so from them in mostly Next vouchers

love the L'occitanne pics but am not going to be tempted (esp now lost money on consumer pulse!!!!)

I'm up for pampering this evening although it'll just be nails and not a great job - I was going to do them last night and then realised I'd left my top coat in London (I took a suitcase of stuff down when I went on Wednesday night so I wouldn't have to take too much tomorrow - famous last words!). If I get all the packing and cleaning done I might do my nails during QI.

Already I need to buy cotton wool pads, does this count? I need them to help me UU some other items. Maybe I should send OH to get them!

:eek: I hope they're not having a mad cull - I need my Consumer Pulse vouchers to pay for my holiday - that I've already booked :eek:

I've been having a lovely time browsing the Comet website - it's looking like we can replace our PC, get a new wireless printer, plenty of ink, a new hair trimmer and still have money left over from the voucher we've been given from the insurance people :T Not bad considering the broken one is 6 years old

I have an IN to confess - feeling so :mad: today with the whole sofa debarcle and the PC breaking and the ear infection that I needed cheering up. I bought an Aldi Lacura Multi-Intensive Serum which I will need in a few days as my P&P is on it's way out (especially after I squeezed some into a BS sample pot for my travel kit ).

We're heading into town early tomorrow to go PC shopping and BS is just opposite so I maybe able to get the BB from the offer - but I'm not dragging myself into town early sunday just for a Body Scrub

I went for the lightest brown dye for my mum - the colour on the box is lighter than she usually goes for so hopefully it will turn out ok

:A Sarah, thank you. Having trained my eyes to ignore toiletries I would have probably spent the vouchers elsewhere and missed the offer, this sounds great!

I am tempted to get another colour in the old Nice n Easy formula but I won't be able to use it for quite some time.
