No buying unnecessary toiletries in April - Challenge

:beer: Well done on the weight loss Rosemary.

I used my Elemis Skin Buff and Lavander Face Mask for the first time yesterday and I am very impressed. The scrub is one of the best I have tried - just the right about and size of scruby bits. The mask felt lovely on too. I am looking forward to using these again and I just hope they do indeed decongest my skin.

Well done on your weight loss Rosemary. I am going to get back into my fitness/healthy eating regime from Tuesday when I'm back at work on Tuesday.

The TSV is also under £40 so very bargainous - I saw this at the BB and thought how fab it looked. It also comes with a bag and as you all know I am a sucker for bags.

Keep a look out on ASOS too - I got a great set just before Christmas - it had 30ml PCMC plus full size papaya enzyme peel, and 3 other things for £27 (oh and almost forgot the bag it came with too...:o)

You must spill the beans about the other contents then re: the TSV.

I also got the kit you mention from Debenhams in the sale but it was a bit more than yours - about £33.00 I think mind you could have worked out the same with p&p. You've just reminded me that I have a couple of elemis bags. Am sorting them out to put on ebay.

Kiplingmonkey - I love the fact that your spreadsheet is colour coded! :rotfl::T I wish mine was. I've added approximate dates to things where I can and anything that has been bought in the last 4-5 months has a 'bought' date in brackets.

If it's any help, Feel Unique have 20% off Elemis this weekend (inc. Monday, I think). It makes some of the gift sets very good value. This is the one that is calling to me (it has 30ml PCMC):

I do need a decent eye cream as it's the one place that I have little lines. I'm sure that is the result of 20 years of stretching my eye to pop out my contact lenses!:eek: I have to be very careful with my money at the moment so think I'll have to let this offer pass (it's £46 once the discount has been calculated).

Well done on your weight loss Rosemary :T I hope that your She Said Beauty box arrives soon! Do you know what is inside it yet? I was pretty happy with mine I love the LiB box :j

Fiasco - the face scrub and mask sound great. I hope they work out for you (I did have a HG mask but Clinique discontinued it! :mad: It was the Deep Cleanse Emergency Mask, or something like that. )

Oh! Edited to add that, like VALM, I thought that Girl Meets Pearl was a higlighter as well.

Happy Easter everyone

One UU to report - 1 x 50 ml Clinique Happy Heart

The thread has certainly made me focus on my perfumes, if nothing else! I'm really pleased that I now have only 4 bottles, and 3 of them were presents lol.

On the downside, I tidy up my linen cupboard *sigh* Loads of carp in there. Mostly shampoos and conditioners from MIL. I did find a deodarant so I guess that was something positive. I also emptied my S&G box from Christmas. Cant believe there is a hand cream in there. Oh and a hand cream from MIL. I dont think I will ever need to buy hand cream again. EVER!

I can't remember exactly what the contents were now but I know there was a 30ml PCMC, I think 14 bliss capsules, a small toner, a new eye cream (15ml) full size and a couple of shower/bath products. There may have been a cleanser as well but don't quote me on that. I know I was very impressed with the price as you seemed to get a lot for the money. I wish I had written it down now so I could remember.

UU today :

schwarzkopf gliss hair oil nutritive conditioner - for £1, this was a great daily conditioner for my hair. It didin't weigh it down and was very moisturising. I am now down to only 1 hair conditioner!!!! I'm so happy that I have gotten my body wash and hair conditioner down to only 1. Now onto my shampoos

Neutrogena pink grapefruit face wash sample - it's very rare I like a product after a small sachet sample, but I think that I wba someday in the future if I'm skint and need a cleanser.

Boots No 7 anti-aging range is really good. The face cream/sorbet does all over and lasts about three or four months!

UU today

The dreggs in the bottom of one shampoo bottle! I have a really bad habbit of not completely finishing a bottle, and putting it at the back of the cabinet!

Will have to go through everything as am movign house in a few weeks, which gives me an good excuse to minimise everything and save money!

I used a nose pore strip, it made my nose all red and itchy and no blackheads were removed. Maybe because its from Poundworld? Can anyone recommend any good nose pore strip thingys, thanks.

I got some from Aldi that were brilliant ZoeL.

Well shaped and really did the biz. They got everything out on one 'side' first go and there were only a couple of strays on the other side that were removed a few days later. The strays were probably my fault for not sticking it down fully, rather than the strip not being efficient.

This was some months ago; I was looking today to see if a re-use was needed but no, not at all.
