    I need to join for some reason I have a need to buy way to much. I have 2 parcels in the car from latest in beauty with over 30 items and it's only the 1st and tomorrow I am going to get one product from Lush as I have been waiting for it to be in my local store.
    I then am going to promise myself no more this month.
    I don't have a problem with make up or nail varnish, I just buy as I need but bath, body and moisturisers are a different kettle of fish.
  • I'm in for another month - proud of myself this year, as i haven't bought anything at all yet. The only INS i've had are two lipsticks bought as a birthday present. I will need to buy shampoo soon, probably this month.

    Thanks Absinthe Fairy for starting us off again. I am in for part of March as I will be going on holiday in two weeks.

    I only need to buy conditioner this month, other than that I should have no ins.

    I did notice this morning that there is a free hand cream with marie claire this month and I love hand creams.

    Two UU - Organix Brazilian Keratin Therapy shampo. Will definitely buy again, it's one of my staples, I love it.

    The other was a Boots own brand deodorant for sensitive skin. Would buy this again, cheap as chips, smells nice and isn't too harsh on my skin.

    I had an idea this morning on using up an old-ish conditioner that's been sitting on the shelf for ages as I didn't get on with it on my hair. It's just the Boots Essentials conditioner; I'd bought it as a cheap conditioner for the gym just to keep in my gym bag, but didn't like it and haven't used it since. Today though I used it to clean my make up brushes and it worked really well, so at least it won't go to waste now.

    Welll.... after saying 'no buys' unbelievably, Poundland still had Andrew Collinge sulphate - free conditioners in. So.. 2 IN's. I bought another Andrew Collinge Purity Volume Therapy Conditioner and also the Purity Colour Therapy Conditioner.

    No sign of the matching shampoo and I think that's a good thing, as I don't need any....!!

    Also bought two cute 75ml 'celebrity' shower gels - one by Halle Berry and one by Kylie Minogue - as wee Easter gifts for DD and DGD.
