No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge

LittleVoice

Day 1
UU Avon Senses Reflection shower creme
WIBA? - Yes - but only because I get nostalgic about the perfume which I think may be a reincarnation of one from the 1960s !

Do you have to spend the voucher in one go? Does it have a use-by date? I'd be tempted (if possible) to spend some on something to condition your hair and fix the dryness caused by the dye and save the rest for when you need the dye - or buy the dye anyway if you've only got so long to spend/have to spend in one go

The vouchers run out on June 27th and the £15 is broken in to £1, £2, £3, £4, and £5 vouchers.

I'm right with you on those thoughts of waiting to use the colour Sarah. I have my eye on one of the Herbal Essences conditioners you so kindly linked to. :T

That action epitomises what I love about this thread - we are all so keen to help each other! If you had said to me that some of my really happy times online would be on a beauty thread ... well, I wouldn't have believed you... But they are. I would have put the group hug icon there, but it's just too dodgy...

Good evening ladies!

Forgot to report a UU earlier on I think - my John Frieda Brilliant Brunette shampoo has gone to join it's fellow conditioner - I got my last go out of it this morning. WIBA? Yes, if it was on a good special offer again as like the conditioner I find it extremely good. I do want to try some real "good old faithfuls" next time I buy though - I was sniffing the lovely smelling Alberto ones in Poundland earlier on! We're getting a 99p stores locally next week too (Hurrah!) so that will be where my next shampoo / conditioner come from I suspect.

Now have a bath run, and have just cleanser and scrubbed my face, so will be putting on a mask and soaking in the bath for a bit in a moment. Have probably left it a bit late to do nails now but I'll see how I go. Might find a quick-drying one to use.

Oh - had a couple of NPI's earlier - first was M&S essentials nail varnish in the most gorgeous Glittery Turquoise colour. I picked it up twice, and put it back down, and then left without it! :A It's only £3 though so if I DO weaken it's not too bad. I have money on a gift card from a PigsBack voucher last year too so it wouldn't be a cash spend. The second oddly was also a nail varnish (I wonder why? Hmm?) in Boots (I had to go in to collect my contact lenses) - and was a similar colour to the other one. I think that particular itch might have to be scratched sooner rather than later!

Room for another? PLEASE COUNT ME IN AGAIN

I have spent most of March about 10 pages behind, I really must keep up!

I hope everyone is feeling pampered and ready for a weekend of [STRIKE]shopping[/STRIKE] saving their pennies!

A few outs (and ins:eek:) for March

Used up:
1 x Elvive Royal Jelly Shampoo 400ml
1 x S&G Clean on Me 75ml (I liked this, good lather and it made my skin feel soft, luckily I have more in the stash)
1 x Burt’s Bees Body Lotion 235ml (WNBA - Much too runny!)
1 x Oral B Mouth Wash
1 x Medihoney Derma Cream 50g
1 x Sure Anti Perspirant Roll On 50ml
2 x Sanex Bath Cream 650ml

Purchased:
4x 75 ml Sanctuary Minis on ebay (all the talk of people selling their stashes was too much for me to resist!)
2 x 500 ml Palmolive Naturals Bath Milk (too much of a bargain to resist and I don’t feel too bad as I finished 2 bubble baths so just replacing stock - is that ok?:o)

So the outs were more than the ins but must try harder for April!

alja

just had a bath, so I'm halfway through my pampering...just UU a strawberry natural collection face mask WIBA? meh, probably not, I'm not too keen on the scent

Argh! April the 1st and I have an in. I thought I was safe as we bought some raffle tickets at the gang show this evening and we never win but we won a big bottle of bubble bath. It's in a beautiful glass stoppered bottle though. Oh well, we'll use it after the chocolate one we have on the go at the moment.
Do I escape the naughty step as we didn't set out to buy it and we were alocated the prize? I hope so!
Well as you probably all forsaw, I didn't dye my hair this morning. It took me an hour to get DD's badge done and then I fell into bed. Very tired. Unfortunately so tired that I slept through all alarms and got a phone call from DD's school as I'd not collected her. As I was rushing out the door, DS's school phoned too such a bad Mum.
Poor beggars, poor DD is so tired this week and I've barely seen her what with her rehearsals and my cold. I really let her down on a really important day and I feel so bad about that. And I feel coldy still
Oh well, tomorrow's another day. I can finally get this house cleaned up as it's a pit at the moment (Hope I don't feel bleurgh still!).

I think this is such a lovely post, here's a marginally less dodgy group hug icon ,xx
