  • My Philosophy Sale bargains have arrived today, brought pre January but thought I should fess up! Candy cane showergel, purity cleanser and hope in a jar and free gift set of mini purity, amazing grace and hope in a jar. I had also ordered HollyBerry but its out of stock :-(

    A wee question if I may?
    If I bought stuff and paid for it before the new year, does that count?
    A heap of stuff arrived from Superdrug :o

    I count things in the month I bought them as that was the time my resolve weakened! So, I wouldn't count your order as a January IN, but I guess other people may do it differently.

    Intrigued to see you had GfK vouchers, I use to do the GfK tv and radio survey but then stopped sending the email link, I couldn't log in and then when I contacted them they told me i was no longer required, pretty poor show by them :(:mad:

    I wouldn't worry about it. I have been doing their daily survey for absolutely ages and never won anything.

    It's still a stash of products being added to an existing stash? Yes, I'd say it counts. xx
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    AT : I got the Candy Cane shower gel for Christmas . It is divine. Missed out on the matching sugar scrub in the Selfridges sale though. Have seen Pumpkin Pie reduced in quite a few places too but so far have resisted urge to order a second bottle x

    UU: Cute or what bath fizzer in green. One more of these left in the stash. All they do is colour the water as far as I can tell.

    I don't have many in the way of sputterers, should have a few more UUs by the end of the month but it will be slow going over the next two weeks. I have a few mini products lined up in order to keep the rate going.

    Sharalee If you were counting before New Year count it in then, if you're only counting now, count it now. Whichever means the purchases are kept in the foremost of your mind to stop you purchasing any unnecessary toiletries.

    Dolly84 I use Umberto Gianini blow dry spray. I only have a mini bottle of this but it has lasted ages. No crispiness and I use it in conjunction with tresemme's argan oil glossing spray when I blow dry on a large round brush. it holds my style well without the need for hair spray and holds volume in my fine hair for two days after blow drying.

    I have just double cleansed my face with my no7 brightening hot cloth cleanser and a muslin cloth. I often find I still have mascara coming off with the first cleanse so thought I would give this a go. After only one occasion my skin is so soft I could not believe! Followed it up with aromatherapy associates rose radiance serum, simple soothing eye balm and avene rich skin recovery cream. Soft and my skin tone looks good and fresh.

    roguelawyer: have you cancelled your Specsavers solution? I also don't use as much as a bottle a month so I cancel it for a quarter while I use up the rest. Saves £3/month too!

    I had thought about it, but I have a good 6 months of lenses stockpiled as well! As soon as I get my reduced price glasses I'm cancelling the direct debit until the lenses are un-stashed!
  • 17. Radox shower gel (green) WBA cheap, does the job and smells clean and fresh.
    18/19 boxes of tampons (yes I even stash these).
    20. Bomb cosmetics bath bomb - WNBA had some unidentifiable herby additions which were unpleasant additions to my bathwater.
    No more buying toiletries
