No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in March

luvlycake

Glad you got your money back but such a shame.

UU this morning
21 - Avon skin so soft creamy body wash, the pink one with argan oil. I bought this thinking it was lotion and left it for ages. Used this up in a few weeks as it's completely lovely! Big soft bubbles and lovely smell. Would buy again.
22 - small size body shop warm amber body lotion. Lovely, but christmassy. Tee hee. Would buy, at christmas, if I didn't have enough lotion to stock my own shop!

Uu natural collection cool translucent loose powder wba i always use this to top off my foundation. Have another in the stash.

TA garnier bb - i hate this stuff. Not only does it not go on evenly but is almost orange on me. Most tinted moisturisers/bb creams are not made for very pale skin. Probably cos they are mostly used in the summer i suspect.

I look forward to your opinion, if OK for you, I might get some and trial alongside my new HG Emma Hardie Moringa Balm, I use this at night and the Elemis Pro Radiance in the morning.

Will do. Must remember to try it later.

Forgiven, since you also gave us the brilliant Stewart Francis!

You also gave us yummy Kiefer Sutherland. I do miss Jack Bauer so much.

To the ladies who recommended the tubing mascara Clinique lash power - I tried it today and it may be my new HG. Its not as 'wet' as the Blinc I was using and seems to add much needed volume. So a huge THANKYOU as I would never have picked it up without this thread as I didnt realise it was a tube mascara and normal mascaras dont seem to work for me.

Glad you like it. Unfortunately I have a couple of mascaras still in my stash before I get to repurchase this. Am that confident that the Liz Earle one I have yet to open will not compare with the Lash Power.

Wow! So many uus for alot of you! :T im almost jealous lol.

I know for a fact that im going to have more ins than outs this month because i need foundation (i like to keep one spare) and need conditioner.

Catriona i have really really bad, sensitive scalp. Its very rare i dont have scabby bits. Try an aloe vera shampoo and conditioner without any of the nasties. Your hair dresses shouldnt care. Just explain to him/her and they may be able to recommend something to help....it is their job after all!

If you've still got the rash, antihistamine pills are the way to go. I react horribly to some things and use Piriton - which really does the job. I also belt and braces it by using the strongest hydrocortisone cream I can get from Boots. Using both should calm things right down and let the E45 help it heal.

TSV stands for Today's Special Value and is the offer of the day on QVC - it isn't always beauty related but when it is they can be very good sets.

MrM bought me yesterday's OPI TSV in the end. It was hard work - I had to nag a lot. x Should have stayed away from Sally's yesterday. Going in there and looking at the new colours was not a good idea.

Have painted my nails with Zoya Jacqueline with OPI polka.com layered on top.

That sounds like gorgeous combo. I hadn't thought of putting polka.com onto a nude colour. Will try this when I get mine.

A LHJ UU - the Av*n Naturals 400ml Cranberry & Cinnamon Shower Gel. I started using this at the beginning of December to get myself feeling Christmassy....!

WIBA? Yes, it leaves a light but noticeable and very pleasant scent on the skin, is very moisturising and lathers beautifully. It was in this months Av*n sale flyer, at £1.75 for the same size, so I've duly ordered one to put away for next winter. I never do this, but I absolutely loved the seasonal scent and if I didn't, they'd probably withdraw it.
I have lots to try next, including a NBI.

Following a very positive comment on here about BS's Coconut Shower Cream, I picked up the very last on sale coconut gift set in the Darlo store for zilch by saying "Happy Bunny" at the till.

A free 'bath lily' (shower puff), coconut body milk (a light lotion) and the aforementioned shower cream. I am indeed a "happy bunny".
I also picked up the 50 ml coconut hair butter as I don't have anything resembling this to use and wanted to give it a try. The gift set was only £2.50, so that brought the butter's price down from £3.00 to £2.50 with the £3 discount.

They had lots of down - to - £2.50 strawberry sets in, but I already have some BS strawberry body polish and lotion set up to try.

The Av*n order is due at the end of the month - I can't think of any reason to spend before then.

Sounds like you got some bargains there mcculloch! I haven't been into TBS yet, thinking I might do tomorrow and use the free £3!

Being nosy, I was wondering what people do with regards to moisturising after bath/shower? I am lazy and normally only moisturise my face/neck, hands and legs (they get dry from shaving). I rarely moisturise anywhere else - sometimes my feet. Do people who moisturise all over notice a big difference to the softness of their skin?

My skin is not very dry but I am thinking I will maybe start moisturising all over to use products up! Would need to allow more time to get ready though for both the moisturising and so the moisturiser can sink in.

Yes, I notice a difference in the softness of my skin. Using a scrub twice a week helps as well.

Forgot to mention before that I have repainted my nails and am wearing OPI Live and Let Die with Nails Inc Glamour Glitter on top.

We are off to see one Direction at the MEN tonight. Am going to colour my hair this afternoon as well so that will be an OUT too.
