No buying (unneccecary!) toiletries in February Challenge!!!

More Osiris Avise face wipes, this time the deep cleansing variety - like these, they do the job and leave my face feeling clean without making my skin feel tight - moved onto the exfoliating kind now - You can get these for something like 99p for a three pack of 20 which I think is a mega bargain as they're nicer than the price tag would suggest. [/QUOTE]

Can I ask where you buy these wipes, they sound good!

Confession time - one of these slipped into my cart when I ordered the You box. I got to select 3 samples and chose the following:

Balance Me Rose otto body wash
Clarins multi active day early wrinkle correction cream (although may be too late for me!:rotfl:
Madara deep moisture hand cream

I also added an additional sample of a Neom organic body wash.

I see the topic of samples has divided the forum- those who love them and those who don't. I actually like to try different products so sample sizes are great for me and I find that I am less tempted to have lots of things on the go as I use a mix of full and trial size samples. For eg - face masks, I always use a moisturising one mid week and a cleansing one at the weekend. At the moment my moisturising one is 15ml size whilst the deep cleansing one is 75ml. That way I have a fighting chance of getting UUs on a fairly regular basis.

Carolyn12 I think the wipes I've been using were a stocking filler from Christmas my Mum would have picked up somewhere on her travels but I'm pretty sure I've had them from somewhere before like Wilkos or Home Bargains and they are available on a website called Gordons Direct which I believe is a Chemist in Northern Ireland and Scotland

I have INS! . I spent over £40 in Boots this evening but got lots for it. Personally, I blame youtube and the girls over on the nail polish addicts thread .
DD has gone to a sleep over and taken with her my nail varnish remover and half a packet of cotton wool. I have been practicing nail marbling and needed to take off today's efforts as it chipped when I was putting on my boots to take her to her friend's house. So I went to the AC points machine first. I got a voucher for 100 points on any 2 FCUK men's things and DS pressed print again not realising I'd printed one out. He wanted some of his own stuff (wonder where he gets that from ?). So DH and DS both got a shower gel and a deodorant. I got 2 packs of 200 cotton wool balls (then got home and found a tube of cotton wool pads ). A tub of petroleum jelly, a clear nail varnish and a white nail varnish and a lippy (100 extra points), DH got a hair thing as he doesn't like the one I bought (nor do I but it'll do for now). He was also looking at the mens moisturising stuff (the No7) as he's almost out of his. When I checked the sale bit at the front they had the men's P&P No& reduced to £9.75 and there were 3 on the shelf so I got all 3 and they also had a base coat and ridge remover thing for £1.50 so I got that.
I need the nail varnish stuff as my toes are usually painted and I've noticed that the dark colours I tend to use are staining my toes. My finger nails are very ridged so I thought I'd try this stuff. I wanted the clear to cover the NV when I do marbling. The cotton wool will eventually get UU too. Although I am just opening the one I bought at the start of the challenge!
Having looked in the drawer again this evening when I was putting everything away, it is getting quite full so I think I need to do an updated stash list again.
Am loving the marbling though, Just hope it gets easier to do. I am using my TBS lip balm instead of vaseline around my fingers initially because I don't like it on my lips but it does the job on my fingers.

this was supposed to be frugal feb but somehow I seem to have spent more than ever on stuff:eek:I blame the internet:rotfl:just bought 2(more) throws from blacker designs,they are lovely and come with a certificate of quality with the rare breed sheep variety on.At the moment are on offer at less than half price so the two only(:eek:) cost me £66 plus postage.
Have also just booked flights to Portugal,not till August but had looked at them a couple of weeks ago and DH was so slow getting time off that prices gone up and so grabbed the last seats at £55 going out,we are having to go at a later time as last weeks £52 seats now £116:mad::mad::mad::mad: so going a day earlier and coming back a day earlier and will get there at night instead of afternoon.not booked hotels yet as need to see how many points nights we will have later in the year (has to be some benefit to DH being away so much!)

using a sample of DR Otto(think that's what its called) skin cream ,smells of roses and my skin feels really soft(from a latest in beauty box,no idea of cost)

UU a nivea cream. WIBA?: Probably not, it's a bit greasy.

I have an IN: Freederm spot gel. It was reduced to clear in Sainsburys though, no idea why. Needed something as my skin is purging from the clarisonic.

My Liz Earle toner is spluttering, I don't have a back up but I want to try something new (and cheaper?) I have combination sensitive skin and like my toners alcohol free.. Any suggestions?

Thats the one, I just forgot it was 3 and added two, so my own fault! I emailed them to tell them and what I'd like the third sample to be so maybe they'll be nice and add it in for me?

I'm getting annoyed with JolieBox, I think I'd rather cancel than be bothering with this every month. They were swearing delivery for valentises week but that doesn't look to be happening.

You would think they'd have it out nice and early given all the time and unhappy customers they've had

This months box better be out of this world!:cool:
