No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in March

  • I have another two UUs today:

    Champneys spa indulgence oriental opulence body cream 75ml

    Small size from one of the Xmas 2011 Boots gift pack. I love the smell of this and the product sank in quickly with minimal stickiness (my skin is v dehydrated atm though). WBA once the remaiing 1.5l of bodylotions are used up...

    Renu contact lens solution 60ml

    Travel size pack bought last month in Cardiff when I had forgotten my contact lens case. The solution lasted a surprisingly long time, but I already have another travel size bottle from the pack, along with 3.25 litres of the large bottles from specsavers...

    On that note, I contacted specsavers to update my change of address and enquired about putting my subscription on hold as I have a backlog of 9 months worth of lenses. No problem at all, the subscription is now on hold for the next six months and I wasn't given any trouble at all, I was very impressed.

    Not posted much this month so have a few ta/Uu to mention
    The orange tree orange blossom and ginger body lotion -wnba. I hate the smell of this and I have so much in my stash that I do like so in the bin it goes.
    Avon magic make up base- wnba didn't see any difference whether I used this or not.
    Barbara daily np in lustre- WBA I loved the colour and one of the few np I have ever finished
    3x eyeliner and 1 lip liner - nothing special mainly Avon. I used to buy from the book just because my friend did it but tbh not a big fan of any Avon products.some are "ok" but I can take or leave them.
    £365 a year spend challenge - this has included food/clothes/beauty?? who knows where I am

    Some bubbles for DD sounds good, but the rash doesn't:(
    I would stop using the shampoo, call into local chemist/B**ts and ask to see the pharmacist, hopefully they will suggest something suitable, perhaps a 1% Hydrocortisone cream, this has restrictions on use, but should sort it out pretty quickly, better if someone sees it, otherwise you could try several products before you find one that works for you. You could try the shampoo again a few weeks after your neck is healed, but be careful not to get it on your face or near your eyes.

    ARGH it itches! :(

    Went to the pharmacist this evening who said it was 'mild' (not mild to me bub!) and suggested E45 shampoo. Except they didn't have any in stock. So he suggested I use E45 moisturiser instead - I have some already luckily so I've been putting it on and it's making no difference (apart from making my roots greasy!).

    I'll see what its like in the morning and go for a second opinion if necessary. I've never reacted to shampoo like this before (if thats whats caused it and its the only explanation I can think of). What makes it worse is that I have my 6-monthly app at the hairdresser's on Wednesday and don't want to go along all scabby :(

    Hope your head heals soon Catriona_P - sounds horrible.

    Got a full refund for the fake Benefit products on ebay, confirmed my suspicions of them being fake when the seller said they would refund without me returning. Just threw the products in the bin. Made me feel a bit sad despite knowing there is no way I can use them.

    I'm annoyed though because the seller is still selling the same products on Ebay and now has even more products which I suspect are fake, such as the Urban Decay Naked Palettes. Shocking.

    Report the seller to ebay, they will take steps to ensure this person's account is shut down and action taken x
