No buying unnecessary toiletries in April - Challenge

rosemary54

re my missing SSb box(sorry this is going on soooo long:mad:) customer service said last week they would contact me when they found out where it had got to BUT how long should I give them?surely they could just send me a new one as by now must really be lost(er gone home with a delivery person!!!!)
toes now a lovely turquoise colour,not sure whether to "smash" them,when I did that straight after a base coat it just sort of ran so have left overnight.

now have lovely new windows and door so nice and snug against wind and rain(when is summer coming?????)still can't sort out bedroom as workman has to replace a broken pane of glass at the weekend so may have to go swimming instead as no way am I going in the garden!will wait till usual delivery time is passed tho just in case!
bought two books off Amazon and in one there was a bookmark with hairs on:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:i know thye were old and cheap but really!!!!

nearly uu liz earle cleansing stuff,still got two more(all freebies),love the smell and feel of warm cloth in the morning but have not used to actually remove make up,might buy again but depends on price and anyway the two tubes will last a while yet.

Korres shampoo - WNBA SLS
Korres conditioner - WNBA no different to other, cheaper ones.
Bare Minerals cleanser - WBA, this was really nice and my skin has improved since i started using it

There's generally no need to approach anyone, if you're looking at the counter, help is generally offered

BB Creams are all over the high street now, they are supposed to be foundation, primer, moisturizer and SPF in one. The high street ones don't seem to be for me, and I understand that the Eastern BB creams are very different to the Western ones, hence me ordering one from Korea

HTH

Thanks for that! I'll just hover about looking all suspicious and such like. Am sure somebody will approach me if I do that...although I hope it isnt security that comes to help me... :rotfl:

I was clearing out my underwear draw and found a tube of Barry M foundation which was still sealed so that means I can put off buying foundation for a while. However I am still wondering why and how it is in my underwear draw...:o

Oh and I have another UU to report -

VO5 SILKY SMOOTH ELIXIR CONDITIONER – 300ML- WBA can get this in the pound shops, and my hair is always shiney and soft with it.

Oh oh and I get the keys to my house on Thursday :j:j:j
but because it is my first house I have to buy EVERYTHING! *waves bye bye to savings*

a couple of (not very exciting!) ins
a garnier deo that was half price at £1.15 but alos had a 50p coupon:)and a pantene conditioner,smallish size I thought for £2.97 but had a £1 off coupon so bought it to put away for hols to avoid taking huge tressemme one:rotfl:....why is it coupons never work for me?had to go to customer service again to use it:mad:

also got tesco value panty liners which have gone down to 22p again (they did go up to over 50p a while ago)


BUT STILL no beauty box or email as to what is going on:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

UU:

pantene shampoo from savvycircle- WNBA- made my scalp all itchy! might try a SLS free shampoo once the stash is gone as I think it might be making it worse

INS:

sure deodorant x4- I'm not counting these as sure is my HG and it made sense to stock up as it was 2 for £4, 25% off and ac points as well. Not sure how it worked out to £3.47 though?

***Argan Oil update/response*** ***Updated after an email from Amarya***

Hello everyone. I'm feeling dispirited and disappointed today. I hope that you all realise that I've been very careful about what I have posted about my feelings about the Argan oil. I am very unhappy that 'Simply Argan' have come on here to have a go at me. I have not 'defamed' anyone. I have only suggested that people take a look at the website and judge the quality of the information for themselves. I have only ever used direct quotes from their own website - what else can I go on as a customer?? (It's more than typos that worry me). I have not even listed my concerns on here. Any concerns that I have have been dealt with in a private manner. I have not posted anything on Facebook or Twitter or even responded to any of the reviews of the oil on peoples blogs. I have not had any direct contact with Amanda Cooper of Simply Argan. I do not wish to. I am unhappy that she has joined this forum to publicly 'shame' me. My correspondence was with Amarya as I am their customer and it was natural that I would contact them with my questions.

Anyhow. I came on here to say that I was just going to PM the few people that have received the oil to give them the promised update. I told my contact at Amarya that I was going to do this. I wanted to wait 24 hours before I sent any PMs in case they objected. I explained that I consider people on here to be my friends and the whole point of this community is that we share reviews and our own opinions.

I'm so upset about this.

I hope I don't miss anyone out on the PMs. I don't want to list you on here. Just contact me if you'd like the update. I'm not at my best today so I apologise if I miss anyone out.

Willowbee xx

Nooooooo! Mind you I only really use the cleanse/tone/moisturise essentials and they never have full sizes of all three in a TSV so I'm probably safe.

Saw your comment re: the Leighton Denny TSV. Have just been having a look on shoppingtelly to see if there was any more news on the Elemis TSV on29 April and saw some comments that LD has not been behaving himself on facebook. Apparently some people were posting that they didn't think much of the TSV and he has been deleting their posts!

I'm even feeling meh about the Elemis TSV as yet again it contains Bliss Capsules,Nourishing milk bath and Quiet Mind Bath Elixir. The price of it would have to be less than the value of the tub of PCMC for me a buy I think. MrM will be pleased. x
