No buying unnecessary toiletries in March - Challenge

Evening All,

Two UU before bed last night, Derma V10 Q10 Innovations Anti Wrinkle Cream - Not a HG by any means but WBA if I was feeling particularly hardup and desperate for a moisturiser as was cheap as chips - £3 or so I think from Home Bargains. Its quite heavily perfumed so at times my skin was a little bit irritated by it but nothing major and I have very sensitive skin so not much of a reaction when I can't use things like Protect & Perfect as have a mega outbreak! Gone onto a half used up tub of No. 7 Essential Moisture Night Cream and then after that's gone I'm looking forward to trying something new. :T

Also finished off a S&G Butter Up last night, really like this, although not sure its available any more, have another one waiting in the stash yet anyway. Nice and creamy without being greasy, has done wonders for the very dry skin I have on my shins. Only major drawback is being in a tube, I had to cut it down when there was loads left, would be much better in a tub. The fragrance, although not the signature S&G is fairly similar and got a bit old after a full tube, looking forward to pulling something completely different out of the stash to use next - very tempted by the 40% off TBS but resisting at the moment by reminding myself the stash is meant to reduce not increase!

Tossed a Dior Iconic mascara. It was the small one from one of the christmas pallette/box thingies.

Honestly, not that impressed. It was black mascara. Replaced with one from the stash. Currently have 4 full size and six gwp size in there.

Shower gels are multiplying in the airing cupboard.

Oh, and the husband complained he was down to his last can of shaving gel. I looked in and there was 9 cans of foam. He wants gel??? Have to admit, there were some really good coupons last year and I got the stuff for under $1/can.

Hi, looking for some suggestions, it seems that my skin is looking dry and flaky after a day at work. I seem to have solved the problem on weekends to think its due to the office being so hot and dry. Any ideas on how to stop my skin drying out during the day.

my HG is cliniques moisture surge,there is a gel, a new one called moisture surge intense and a spray.I have used the gel for years and use the spray (on top of make up) or on planes to keep hydrated and have just bought the new one after the sa recomended it,they also do a tinted moisturiser which I now wear in stead of foundation(you can see I do like it:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)
the gel and new one cost £30 and think the foudation is about £21 but you could get a sample from the sa if you ask nicely!

Thank you I will have a look at that, our office is so dry I'm drinking water by the gallon. They've still got the heating on full blast, even though we've had quite a few warm days. Some days it gets so warm you start feeling unwell.

Well I have resited the BS 40% off code :j
Have got a couple of splutters and tubes cut off but no UUs yet.
My arms are peeling even though I have put lots of body butter on them. Not sure what else I can do.

Oh Scrappie, you are such a bad girl, I have been telling myself that a) I do not need this, b) I should spend the money on the garden or on fuel for the motorhome, c) it is all QV* hype, then you come along and tell us how good it is!:D

Maddiemay - I'm sorry, but I really love it! Had to use it again earlier, just to give it another try:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Despite personally going down the pan, my skin forced me to have a UU and an in.

For some strange reason I get very very itchy patches on my legs, so my UU Neals Yard Aloe, Urtica & Lavender Cream (WBA, but its very heavy, more like the texture of Germoline)

and my IN Repair Lotion by Essential Care, Used it tonight, seems great, soothes well anyway, and much lighter than the neals yard, better for larger areas.

Long time no posts;

Anyways a few outs; and a few more ins..

Out
Clynol Essentials Moisture plus Shampoo - WIBA. Yep. This is my everyday shampoo and i keep it stock as buy in bulk online.
Clynol Essentials Repair Conditioner - WIBA? Erm probably not. Didn't hate it but ive had bettter.

Ins
My Glossybox finally (mine Burberry lippie, Some facecream sachets, Ojon hair serum, Clarins body lotion and a diddy perfume).
Two Treaclemoon bath/shower gels. Never tried the brand before and caught my eye whilst i was wandering around Tesco. One was Coconut and the other Ginger.
Palmer Coco Butter Balm - great on feet.
Two Revlon lipglosses, this got me a free QWP whihc has a full size gold polish,a mascara and another lip gloss.
Paul Smith Extreme perfume.
Original Source - mens minty hair and body wash. I'm on the look out for a replacment for the OS tea tree and mint shampoo whihc has been discontinued. I relied on it after a migraine to whoosh my head up and can't find anything minty enough to replace it with.

UK_American - got any room in your tent?? Ive just been dumped again, figure its becoming an annual event... cept this time its not to get back with his ex, or anything like that - its becuase he doesnt love me, he knows that i love him and he feels like hes using me.

FINALLY hes been honest with himself and me - its a shame its taken a message from a friend of mine (that he doesnt know I know about!) to have pointed out that if he cant admit publically that we are together after over a year then he needs to decide what he wants to do becuse its not fair....

still friends - and Im not half as hurt as I was last time,chiefly becuse ive been expecting it for almost 5/6 months now,ive always had the feeling that hes been waiting for something better to come along - and thats no way to live.

No UU either. ah crap !! xxx

A sort of IN ... I was sifting through a rather cluttered drawer in the bathroom storage when I came across a used - twice - at - the - most 50ml OOD tube of Arnica cream (for bruising) It was headed for the bin when I realised.
It's a cream. Creams moisturise and my feet will probably be grateful.

After hearing reports of women using Sudocrem on their skin, using bruise cream up on my feet seems logical enough. Plus I'm not a believer in homeopathy anyway, am puzzled as to why I bought it.

A UU Schwarzkopf Palette permanent hair colour in Mocha.
WIBA? Yep, this is a reliable old-style product that actually does dye your hair to something resembling the colour on the box. What a refreshing change.

It's not a generous amount of dye, but I haven't got a generous amount of hair either, it being very fine and in a short-ish bob.

I'm done with foams that are black dye in disguise and super-expensive applicator dyes that apply most of the stuff to the surrounding area far more readily.
