Rosemary, you'll have to start a new thread, "no buying jewellery beads!"

spent ages on sunday ordering beads etc from amazon,of course from different suppliers so postage with each,thought I'd sussed out what to do but got an email today and discovered one of the three had charged me £3.59 post on items worth £2.56:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:I ordered more from the other two who only charged £1 post each so annoyed as it was hard to see on amazon as they put all the totals together and never thought one would be so much more esp as tiny items from them.Was shocked tho how cheap things were compared to the jewelry school prices so won't be buying from them again esp as they sold me a pair of plyers for crimping at £10 but when I read their handout it said I could just use a different pair from the tool kit:mad::mad:

sorry this has nothing to do with toiletries:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I'm in for February. Been lurking for ages and have been inspired.

IN
Herbal Essences Volumizing Shampoo 400ml £1.84 in Superdrug
Charles Worthington Hair Healer x 3, on 3 for 2 offer at Boots
Boots Natural Collection Blushers, 3 for £5, usually buy shade Rosey Glow but also got a Peach Melba one this time which is nice

UU
Boots Natural Collection Rosey Glow Blusher £2 WBA

Been using these products for a while and know they represent value for money for me.

IN

Betrousse Pretty Beauty box - Again purchased last month so doesn't count as part of February's spending ban

It contains:
Papier Poudre
Cupcake Organic Frankincense & Orange Repairing Day Cream
Essyta Cosmetics Moisturizing Body Lotion for all skin types
Yves Rocher Refreshing Gel Cleanser
Yves Rocher Sexy Pulp Volume Gloss in 02 Rose Indien
Arganti Pure Argan Oil
Kesari Anti-wrinkle Cream
Saffron London Nail Polish
Vera Valenti Eyeshadow palette

Paid £11 including postage for £122 worth of products. However, it seems Betrousse has now removed the Kesari Anti-wrinkle Cream (worth £47) from this box, and its contents are currently advertised to be worth £75. Very strange, but still good value if you like some of the other products.


OUT

Saffron London Nail Polish & Vera Valenti Eyeshadow palette - don't like and therefore wouldn't use either of these

BeNiceToMySelf

I have just given away a bodyspray, nail polish and 3 perfumes. Hurrah the stash is slowly going down.

I'd like to be included again this month, please.

January went well - no buy in and managed to use up several items from the... well, it's less of a stash and more of a hoard, to be honest. For example, a few days ago I found ANOTHER deodorant on the floor behind the folds of the curtain! No idea how it got there, or if there will be any limit on the strange places I'm going to find additional toiletries.

I have been very very bad and will be on the naughty step for a very long time. I have bought BOTH Urban Decay Oz Palettes. I did use my Debenhams beauty club Card points so got both for £50 and got more points and its double points this month. I calculate that each palette is worth over £100, so have gotten over £200 worth for £50 so really good value. They are both build your own palette palettes, so the palettes can be reused once the shadows it comes with have been used. Now do I count these as 2 ins or 16 as each comes with 6 removable shadows an eyeliner and a lip gloss.
