No buying unnecessary toiletries in March - Challenge

mcculloch29

Erm...would you not agree if you have a £9 off £60 purchase coupon at Mr T's and include an OS Almond and Black Cherry Shower Gel in your purchases, you technically get it for free?
Thought you might, you are all so lovely and there's no room on the naughty step, anyway.

I've nearly finished the Avon Mineral Gems body wash (gorgeous stuff) and just have a Wilko Mint and Cucumber shower cream that I'm not wholly keen on, bought it for my son but it's too girly. The OS gels/creams are on offer in Mr T's and I really wanted to try this one, two of my favourite scents. It's a limited winter edition but I would say that Almond/Black Cherry was equally a spring scent, well, that's my justification anyway.
This makes a grand spend of £2.38 (!) on toiletries so far this year (excluding toothpaste & mouthwash)
However Elvive is on a BOGOF and I have a MOC from the L'Oreal website so that may change this week. I'm not really getting on with either of the Pantene shampoos as well as I had hoped, whereas I just love the Elvive. PRCP is all about using the best for yourself, so back to Elvive we will go, I think.

Now, now VALM - I'll have you know that (so far) I have resisted.!!!

I was 'thinking' about it, but I have so many shower gels, I know I don't need another:o It is a really good deal tho - esp good if your planning to give a beauty hamper to anyone as birthday/ xmas gifts.

Today, I will be spending time in my garden, where there is no TV!!

I didn't bother either. Everybody's favourite liquid soap in our house is verbena and I'm not so keen on the hand cream that I want to keep receiving it every few months.

I've been out in the garden as well with my book. Very relaxing.

Thanks for the advice on Decleor ladies, I will mull it over and see what catches my eye.

I have just managed to resist the YOU box, although it is really really tempting and I'm in two minds but I don't need a lot of the products.

1 UU, l'occitane pivoine flora shower gel 75ml, smelt lovely and wba.

Some nice products there mad scientist. Not that I'm enabling anyone or encouraging in any way but QVC have a L'occitane TSV on today which features the hand cream. Might be worth it if it's someone's HG. For me it's nice (am using a travel size of it in my handbag at the mo) but I prefer the Lavender one.

Bought on autodelivery However, in my defence, I absolutely LOVE L'occitane. I have yet to try a product I dont like. I might use some of the products for Christmas for Mum as well.

A couple of UUs:

A bottle of Piz Buin spray on sun tan lotion. I cant quite believe that I spent the afternoon in my deckchair in March! Its been a splutter for a while, so glad I managed to finish it today WBA, I really like Piz Buin, but I've got loads of sun cream. Should last me the rest of the year. I cant imagine there will be many more days like today, mores the pity.

2True Glossywear Nail Polish - this was a TA as its 1. rubbish and gloopy and 2. difficult to get out of the bottle! WNBA

At least its saved me from temptation. My will power was breaking down. I have noticed that the Lib boxes tend to sell out really quickly though.

Evening Ladies.

No use ups i'm afraid; and have just gone on a wee nail polish spree as per usual with Sunday night ebaying.

Managed to resist the Locci TSV today - love Shea Butter Handcream; and quite like the shower gel but thats it. don't buy expensive lip balms (as i love them) an the handwash is a bit meh i prefer fruity.

Happy Birthday ZoeL!

2 UUs for me today.

Clinique Superpowder - WBA as it did a good job of keeping the shine in check. I have another one that is spluttering and another two in my stash.

Listerine mouthwash - WBA and have a couple left in my stash.

For some reason I'm watching the QVC diamonique "less than £40" programme and crikey I'm pleased I don't watch this channel normally! I am a total sucker for the sales pitch so if I were watching the beauty programmes I'd be buying everything!

I've had to jettison a straightening balm today because I think it might be giving me spots. It's called 'heat beat', it boasts of being Australian and being free of silicone. Bought it from TK Maxx last year and was ploughing through it, knew it would be a long haul. Anyway, noticed last week that I was getting spots on my neck and collarbone and the obvious culprit is something I'm putting on my hair. Will try a couple of weeks without the heat beat then chuck it if the evidence is conclusive.

I saw 'the hunger games' this afternoon (yes, I know that anybody in possession of the sense they were born with was out in the garden but I was entertaining 15 year old sullen stepson) and it was fab, highly recommended.
