No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in March

Maddiemay, where do you purchase your Philip Kingsley from, sound like something I need to try out!

I use QV* when the offers are good, otherwise I used to buy from salonservices.co.uk, feel unique stock it too, I think when I looked in the past they were cheaper than PK direct. Although all the products are expensive I find you need a very small amount (I have a thick chin length bob).

Another UU to report: 30ml tube of L'occitane Lavender hand cream. WBA as it's HG but not sure when. Have 2 x of these tubes left (shea formula) and pretty sure I have another 300ml Elemis hand lotion in my stash which I'll put on my desk at work when I return next week.

Have ordered my Spackle from Ebay so saved a little bit of money there.

Two GA

30 - Gave the toothpaste...
31 - ...and the facepack to a friend as she visits old folks and thinks these would be handy for them. :T

And that's my 31 for March. Pressure is off.

Question to all, has anyone tried the new Benefit Fake up concealer? This is tempting me as an In this month, not sure I'm strong enough to resist.

I have one quickie IN: L'Oreal extraordinary oil sachet 4ml

This was a magazine freebie, it took the best part of a week to use up. It felt nice and light and absorbed well compared to the serum that seems to stay on my hands only. WMB once I have used up my pantene ice shine serum (approx 3 years at this rate...).

Started using the Percy&Reed no oil hair oil this morning and loved it; I blow dry my hair on a large round brush and between the oil and a touch of hairspray my style has stayed beautiful all day.

UUs are a bit slow this month but I'm in the middle of a number of full size products. I'm trying to keep my various products in the forefront of my mind and go through them regularly in an attempt not to buy anything at all for the next three months. I'm trying to blast away at my credit card debt, and hope only to replace products as required rather than succumbing to temptation as I have the last few months.

More UU's/GA's
I am 10 bubble bar WBA love the scent but still have 5 more and it is no longer available
Bright side bubble bar WBA and will go and buy a couple more before they stop selling them.
Eye shadow Rimmel WNBA
Snow cake soap WBA only available at Christmas and I have plenty left ( about 1kg) I count soap as 100g as 1 UU'S

GA
A friend is going on maternity leave so I have put 10 items in a box including l'occitane hand cream, soap, Elmis bath stuff, eye lash curlers, a lip stick, a perfume sample, a Devine face cream sample, eye shadow, and another couple of samples. I have added them to the hamper.

IN
Caudalie S.O.S thirst quench serum ( full size) HG product and I could not resist.

Far more products have gone out this month next month will slow down as I doubt I will have any GA's which is why I have so many outs this month.

I don't include nail polish either, I love colour so np gives me my colour fix, to just enjoy displaying/looking at as well as wearing them, I have hundreds and one month might buy loads, then none for a while, I don't often buy magazines and cannot tolerate much alcohol and have no debt so they are my (not so little) indulgence, OH thinks I am potty, but just smiles at me now, I think he has realised at long last that they make me happy and are pretty harmless:rotfl:

So glad its not just me. My OH doesnt understand my love for them either but he too realises that they make me happy and that they are considerably cheaper than the shoe addiction I used to have before our daughter was born.

Also another quick UU that I forgot earlier,
TBS sage and comfrey blemish gel WDBA, this has lasted me for ages and is the second time I've purchased this item. Works really well on soothing and preventing the odd spot I have started to get or have picked at. Best I have tried by far

VALM - Dollish polish -I was looking at the 'swaps' page on facebook and someone mentioned 'nail sale' some lovely ladies are selling there duplicates or unwanted polishes . I bought mine from there. Dollish polish can be purchased directly from the USA but often sell out within days of release. I didnt realise they actually made polish like some of the indie companies make and its made made it even more irresistable.

Tonights UU's

DD toothbrush it was looking a bit shabby has been replaced with a spongebob one from the stash.

Boots smile toothpaste 6+ - DD likes this one. Will repurchase again soon.

Metanium nappy rash cream - Although 7 DD still occasionally gets sore parts and this is the only one that works.

Lush santa bath bomb - WMBA - not my favourite as its full of glitter but DD like its

UU No7 Beautiful skin radiance exfoilator, WBA on offer because it was easy to use double the amount needed and I frequently did!
