No buying unnecessary toiletries in March - Challenge

SuiDreams

Still unsure re the EL BB Cream, I do like it, but not sure I like it enough for the price tag. I would mainly be buying it for the spf and if i'm honest I really need spf 50 in the summer if i'm going to be out doors most of the day. It does look better than most of the facial sunscreens that have a slight tint in them, but am going to leave it for now. Something better may come onto the market soon.

And it was a long haul job :T Soap and Glory Clean on Me

WBA, but probably will never need to buy shower gels again judging by the amount I already have!

I had one of these huge sized bottles of Clean on Me from the Boots OOTW the year before last and I swear it lasted about 6 months. Very :money: but I can't bring myself to buy it again.

I too have way too many shower gels. x

Is Bicester a McArthur Glen site? I also love the Radley and Osprey shops at Cheshire Oaks. We always mooch and buy from That's Entertainment as well which is brilliant for old CDs.

Hi - it's not a McArthur Glenn but you have just reminded me that there is a rather nice Radley shop there as well . It is run by a company called 'Chic outlet shopping'. BTW - anyone been to Gunwharf Keys in Portsmouth??

And a UU:

Liz Earle nourishing botanical body cream 50ml - nice but do think I could get something that does the job just as well for less and this is where I plan to save money in the future..

This season's Radley collection is lovely. They've gone back to the all over leather rather than mixing it up with nylon. The dog pendants have changed to metallic as well.

Am loving the Osprey back I have at the moment that I got from TK Max apart from the handles get in the way under my desk at work.

You know though I haven't found another body lotion that works as well as the LE one. It used to moisturise me all day but I prefer other fragrances to that one. Keep meaning to go back to it ...

I know exactly what you mean, they go on forever!! Sadly i have about another 4 of these in stash!!

I'm going to start something different I think maybe sanctuary or philosophy just for a bit of a change

2 UU:

Lush candy mountain (?)- WBA in the christmas sale- smelt lovely
herbal essences conditioner-WBA

Kiplingmonkey- my brother has just moved to Portsmouth so might go to gunwharf quays when I visit him. Will try and avoid it though because I don't need any clothes and certainly don't need toiletries:D

I love Philosophy and have quite a few in my stash. I tend to have about four on the go so that I can mix them up!! I'm using Philosophy Harvest Spice at the mo which is lovely - smells of cinnamon and nutmeg. Which ones do you like?

Finally a couple of UUs.

Herbal Essences volume conditioner: WIBA? Yes, if on offer. It detangles my hair without weighing it down. I'm now onto a L'Oreal Elvive one.

Eucerin Aquaporin moisturiser: WIBA? Yes, I already have on the recent Boots 3 for 2. I love this, really moisturising but not too heavy.

I've been disappointed with the Clinique moisture surge from Cosmo. My skin is so dry that it's not moisturising enough! I offered it to my flatmate but she says it's too heavy for her! Might try and remember to give it to my mum when I go visit at Easter.

I did not look at the Clinique freebies, so not sure what the moisture surge offer was. When I used to use the pink gel type one, I used to layer it over moisturiser to lock the moisture in, I also used the spray, both left my dry skin well plumped, I only stopped using it when I started experimenting with Elemis and Gatineau as I got older. It is great on neck and back of hands too.

I love philosophy scents, my favourites are cinnamon buns, peppermint bark and marshmallows for toasting

I'll keep a look out for harvest spice, it sounds fab!!

Have you tried the fragrances? I love "Falling in Love" but it's to sweet for a lot of people
