No buying toiletries in June challenge!

Budge up on the naughty step guys I will be parking my butt there for the forseeable. Have been to the shops today and decided that for the first time ever i would take advantage of the Clinique bonus time. My HG mascara is clinique naturally glossy but I was convinced they had stopped doing it but it was there today so I got one of those and a bottle of take the day off, which I have been wanting to try for a while. The bonus items came in a lovely silver case and consist of:

30 ml moisture surge (love this stuff)
75ml 7 day scrub
30ml deep comfort hand cream
7ml all about eyes rich
50ml take the day off
and mini high impact mascara
total value of the gift is over £60. Very generous i thought.

Also (whispering quietly) I may have purchased a full size Benefit Posietint, I have used this everyday since purchasing the glamour mag and have looked for more Glamour mags but cannot find one anywhere now, so i though what the heck I will get the full size to add to my 1750 blushers i currently have. Blusher is my makeup fave and I have a lot.

Will be doing PYTNS tonight in M&S sparkly duck egg blue.

Weleda Almond Cleanser
Skin Blossom body lotion
Faith in Nature facial exfoliator

And got samples of

Trilogy cleanser and moisturiser
Skin blossom hand creme
Green people facial sunscreen

Sawan, hope you're okay, I've had fun with some sort of codeine painkiller too... was pretty much passed out over the loo and rang my poor OH to ask him to ring me in half an hour as I felt so awful and if I didn't answer then RING AN AMBULANCE!!! It wasn't funny at the time but :rotfl: at it now!

Happy birthday Sarah! Hope you're having a fab day!!

Happy Birthday Sarah!

Having nothing toiletry related to mention really, although I did use some of the soap we bought from holiday - its pretty good, smells very soapy but doesnt dry the skin as Ive found with some shop bought soaps - Its made from olive oil

Managed to write a letter to my nan, kept it pretty short - introduced myself, said I thought it was about time we had some contact and said I would really welcome a reply if she chooses. Said Id just completed my degree and talked about OH and then printed off a photo of us both together from holiday and put that in the envelope too. Posted it first class Friday night so in theory if shes still living there she *should* get it Monday - only time will tell I guess. I made sure I made no mention about my folks as Im not sure how that would have washed with her, and Im praying my folks don't somehow find out about it because Im not sure they would be too impressed either. OH was quite supportive when I had a bit of a wobble about posting it so it finally went in the box.....

Absolutely appalling weather, its not stopped raining since lunchtime yesterday and its beginning to puddle up pretty bad in places

On the subject of Co-codamal I remember having to take that a few years back when I had swollen lungs (don't ask! lol) I went to work the next day and I litterally couldn't function at all I was SO confused!

Got back from OH's folks from sunday lunch - OH's off working on his CV in the study so Im sat here waiting for the F1 to start....fun fun...

Edit: F1 has been red flagged due to the rain Boring!

Just wanted to add incase anyone's not see the grabbit board......

Funky pigeon - code for free card up to £2.99 (bit cheeky but if anyones not already registered then my referal link is on the referals board)

Also I posted on the grabbit that there are £1 weenicon mugs on boots website at the moment. Free del to store, Quidco etc and obviously points - have MJ and The King ones, might make a good fathers day pressie

Sarah sounds like you're having a great day! Charlie well done on writing and posting your letter - that must have been a real toughie so pat yourself on the back for doing it. Don't worry about what your folks will think right now. Let things develop as they will and deal with telling them as and when you need to.

Two UU's to report here - Avon Hand & Nail cream - this was the gorgeous smelling christmas one and it's been a pleasure to use. I used it up on hands, feet, knees and elbows before bed last night as the tube was cut open and I didn't want to leave it sitting about too long. WIBA? Almost certainly - it's extremely effective and as a bonus can always be got for a bargain price in clearance after christmas! At the moment though I have the S&G Hand Food to continue with so that is now out of the stash and first impressions are very good. That is my last hand cream in use now so I will have to think about what I will buy to try next. TBH it will either be a £1 shop one I should think or one from Avon. The second UU was a Charles Worthington Conditioner - can't remember the actual description but it was a smoothing/de-frizzing one. WIBA? I might actually - this was got on the "Great Tesco Haircare Glitch of 2010" so was an utter bargain but I've quite liked using it and it has left my hair nice. I have the second one of these opened now and on cue I'm about half way through the matching shampoo!

Some In's to report as well - but they were thanks to the Telegraph vouchers and free as a result so no naughty step for me!
Mini satsuma Shower Gel
Mini Rain Forest Moisture Conditioner
Mini Tea Tree facial wash
Mini Seaweed facial wash.

Right, will head off and update my list!

Happy Birthday Sarah - What lovely gifts!!!

I had aquired some planned INs over the weekend. Tigi Catwalk Sexed Up Body Building Tonic. I love this product and have been struggling to find this for a while as it has been discontinued.

Also went to HB and bought another dry shampoo for my hols next month.

thanks for the tip again VALM :T, hope I can find this mag I don't see it around very often. the colour I really wanted to try 'Supermodel' is one of the shades they are giving away so will be the best way to try if I can get hold of it

I adore Supermodel and own 3 bottles just in case there is a War and I can't buy it anymore - you all understand I'm sure lol :rotfl: Still pretty impressed that I haven't bought the mag!

Hi pinkfluffybabe, where did you buy your Weleda products from? I have just started using the cleanser and am really impressed. Got mine from Boots.com and was wondering if there are any stockists where I can just pick one up when it needs replacing.

lovelula.com it's a website that only sells natural products. They are very good and you get three free samples with each order but you only get free delivery if you spend £30. There is a beauty bible discount code usually available for 5% discount too.

hello ladies, not posted for a while but have been lurking... a little question may seem a bit daft but i am sure you lovely ladies will be able to advise. I am going away on hols soon and wondered if you have a face cream with an spf15, providing i top up through the day do i need to use regular sun cream on top i am very pale and burn easily.

Boots Vitamin E? Its SPF15 and you get 100ml for under £3.

(edit) I now see you were looking for advice on whether you could get away with just an SPF15! If you are going somewhere sunny, then not if you burn easily. I live in Scotland and use an SPF25 daily moisturiser because I have skin prone to burning, even with the limited amount of sunshine we get here. I'd use a much stronger SPF than 15 for my face.
