No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in March
Comments
-
Good Afternoon! :hello:
I've got 3 more UU. 1st was RMK cleansing balm, which left my skin really soft, and soothed where my Philosophy microdelivery peel had irritated my skin. I have quite a few opened cleansers though, so although I would buy again, its probably going to be at least a year before I'd consider purchasing.
The others were a couple of things from my hatbox, No7 lipgloss in Smile (a suit everyone pink, and the last of many I had stashed), and a L'occitane 15ml Angelica moisturiser (my skin has really dry patches at the moment, and this seems to hydrate well).
I'm feeling withdrawal symptoms from not buying anything pampering. Hopefully a win I had (see sig) should cheer me up when I get it, and I still have the March Luxbox to look forward to. I really want to buy the Balm Balm spray from the February box, so sure I'll cave soon.New forum. New sig. Yes I still need to lose 2 stone!0 -
I think I need to head to the naughty step :whistle:
I popped in to Boots on Saturday to pick up a tub of S&G sugar crush, which I love (I haven't overdone the S&G thing like some of you ladies - I have massively overdone Burts Bees!) but instead of just buying this which I needed I also bought a flake away and clean on me on 3for2. Oopsie!0 -
two more uu's since this morning,
Liz Earle daily eye repair, this has a very light creamy texture and the 5ml tube seemed to last forever, but it made absolutely no difference to my eyes, wnba
Ellnet heat protection spray, this is also supposed to give volume as well, this was an OK product but I will probably try and find a cheaper alternative,
Happy pampering, xo0 -
Last night I opened a fcuk body butter, it's my HG - love this, smells glorious and I also find it really mositurising. Have been good and saving it but last night I remembered the pink rose philosophy and decided to use it :A
Ooh was it the pink whipped one? I have JUST finished using that after going on a mission to use it all up after xmas, it's a lovely smell and nice and thick (so good for winter) but admit I was bored of it by the time I got the bottom of the pot. My sister's (now-ex) boyfriend got it for me for my birthday years ago, the fact that she's since got another boyfriend who she's been with for a few years and now lives with says it all!
An IN to declare - Elemis Mattifying moisturiser, a magazine freebie (which cost me £1.60 as I had a £2 off voucher).
My head is still sore and itchy but seems to be slowly healing. Am regularly dosing up with E45 cream (which is making my hair greasy at the roots) and washing with E45 shampoo. Not looking forward to my hair appointment on Wednesday now"Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it."0 -
Make sure you get coarse sea salt and use it with a thickish shampoo or it won't mix in! I am envious of the BS stuff as I LOVE their vitamin C range, please let me know what you think of the face scrub as I will need a new one soon!
I tried the scrub today, but wasn't really blown away by it. It left my skin a little happier than usual, but maybe not enough to make me want to buy it again at full price. This one should only be used 1-2 times a week tops, and I won't complain given I pretty much got it for free! But then my skin looks really tired in general right now, so anything I use has a big battle on it's hands!0 -
3 more UU from the weekend
23 - Lush floating island bath melt. I love lush and i love this melt. No need to moisturise afterwards and a lovley soft herby vanilla-y smell. WBA
24 - Tomotei pure conditioner, nothing special, WNBA
25 - twilight shower gel, lush. From chrismas. Gorgeous smell but was a seasonal thing. Might buy next year...depending on the stash...Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

(got quite a few body butters on the go so won't be using it all the time
Had a horrible time in Boots earlier was trying to exchange an item and the SA and pharmacist where awful - rude and aggressive, I ended up walking outLife is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -
I hate rude people theres no need, I think shops lose more in the long term by taking this approach.
