No buying unnecessary toiletries in March - Challenge

Willowbee

EvilSquid - that's very interesting re: the Percy & Reed hair mask. I liked the idea of it as a freebie but it would probably play havoc with my scalp. It's a pain having to think so carefully about ingredients...Thank you for your post - it probably saved me and IN and a sore scalp!

First UU of March :j :j

John Freida 3 day straight, WBA if it was on a good special offer. I wash my hair daily so i dont know if it lasts 3 days but I think it stopped frizz in the damp weather.

That'll be you and me on the naughty step then tonight comparing notes on the LG!

I hate to break this to you (& be a naughty enabler - hee hee) but the L'Occitane TSV will be on Autodelivery and the constant item in all 4 kits will be a full size shea butter handcream.

I used to like Smashbox but was not impressed when they changed the Halo foundation formulation - the first one I had was great (& a quick alternative to Bare Minerals at the weekend) but the next one I bought made me go orange so I haven't bought anything of theirs for a while.

Hi kiplingmonkey. Read on ST.com last night that some people have received the LG TSV already and some are not raving about it. There has been a hoo ha on there because it was not clear whether the BnB was the new SPF version. Apparently it is - will have to see how this suits Emma's complexion as I've read reviews that the SPF factor has made the colours change quite a bit. Are you keeping all of your kit?

Thankfully, I'm not a huge fan of the L'Occitane shea butter hand cream. Much prefer the lavender and the cherry blossom so maybe I'm safe. Have just had a look at the TV Guide and there is a Yankee Candle TSV the day before (my other guilty pleasure) so maybe I'm not safe from the lure of the Q this month either! lol

I still really like Smashbox lipglosses and their putty eyeliners.

Kaz, that was lovely of DD. If my niece does something like that we are all also shocked, yet v happy that she's done it of her own accord (and without the drama)!

LadyM It's wonderful that they're delivering everything so quickly - yay!

Hanval The night cream is lovely, thank you! I love the texture & feel of it It's so nice for my face to be calming down after a week of feeling like it's on fire. I don't think I'll be changing either of my moisturisers anytime soon!

The only things I will need to buy this month are shampoo, conditioner & cotton wool. I may also need eye makeup remover (definitely will be the Garnier one )

Oh dear I have just had a body shop email offering me £25 off if I spend £50 - really tempting.

I would Like to try the One step face base - has anyone tried it. What do people think? £14

Also would like to try Vitamin e night cream £10

And I would like a replacement body sponge £5

And also vitamin e exfoliator £8

but because 3 for " on skin care basket only adds up to £26.12

At moment basket only adds up to £26.12 Do I order another £24 of products which at the moment I don't know if I need? or leave it.

Any body shop products that anyone can recommend.

Just had a thought DH nearly out of ice blue shampoo!!

I suppose I could think if I need any birthday presents? end of school year christmas presents.

Help..............

Thats not half as bad as people on Facebook are making it out to be..........i am getting this one, as a used a half price code to get the steam cream....DOH! so only thing i can see me swapping is the lipstick if its not my colour. I could have done with the balance me, as im running out, but it's not a crap box by any means!

i did that too lol. i think everyone did!

i didn't get the oct box so the blush and eyeshadow are new for me and i will use them. the nail polish is a nice colour too. if it had been sent out as an original box people would have raved about it, just like they did with the original boxes the replacements were in. tbh even if they cant shift what they have had repeated on beauty box swaps then someone will love it as a present.

I'm just a bit annoyed that carmine knew that they'd sold out yet still carried on taking orders, didn't tell anyone anything and then recycled products without giving anyone the options of a replacement, canceled order or just move the order to the march box. have you seen the really sarcastic "we thought people were signing up to a surprise box not for one particular box!" comments they made? they know full well loads of people watch the box and buy as one off if they like it because they usually have tons of them left.

my blush is clearly seconds too, the machine has got putting the packaging together slightly wrong so the picture and ingredients list been cut off slightly at one side. ah well. only paid £5 for the box :rotfl:
