No buying unnecessary toiletries March 2014

Two INs for me after a win on the raffle at my WI meeting last night:

Soap & Glory Hand Food Hand Wash 250ml
Soap & Glory Hand Food Hand Cream 250ml

In my defence though we will need hand wash soon (providing OH and housemate don't mind the 'girly' stuff) so it saves us having to buy that, and the bathroom sink is about the only place in the house that doesn't have a tube of hand cream next to it so hopefully that will encourage me to use more hand cream...

Just ordered this:

Company magazine 3 issues for £3 by Direct Debit + Bayliss & Harding Beauticology gift set worth £40

( weekend bag, 50 ml pink peppermint hand & body lotion, 200 ml candy swirl body scrub, 100 ml cherry candy cane body wash, 100 ml strawberry swirl shower creme, 100 ml pink peppermint body lotion, 250 ml body butter, body polisher)

http://www.hearstmagazines.co.uk/cy/CompanyApr14

So will have a few ins after all this month but for £3 I couldn't turn it down!

Just cancelled the DD for this, after reading the T&Cs it does look like its free gift only if you carry on subscribing for 12 months. I don't really read this type of mag and, as I said, I'm not overly fond of B&H products anyway so have saved myself 3 quid and still on track for 0 spend this month.

Note to self: in future read small print and don't be so impulsive!

I'm LOVING MUA primers at the moment cheap and feel great on the skin. I bought a few to try the other week I've tried the fashionista flawless primer (£2-says it was £10) and the matte perfect primer and they are great! Today is the first day I've worn foundation (except for when going out) in years and for once it blended in nice and you can't see it sitting on my skin! Maybe be able to actually get through some makeup before it spoils :rotfl:

I'm a big big fan of the MUA primers, I have a Rimmel one at the moment and think my MUA one was much better , just wish you could get MUA at boots grrr

Finished an item from PP yay!:j

Olay Healthy Fairness day cream- WNBA- this was given to me by my aunt because she raved about it, the aim being that it is to lighten skin and hyperpigmentation. I did try it on my face and found it had little effect and wasn't a good base for foundation as it balled up. It was packed full of silicones anyway so I used it up on my feet. It's only sold in the Middle East/Asia so I can't buy it even if I wanted to but I'm sure there's another pot lying around somewhere..:(

I'm replacing this item with an Avon planet spa jasmine facial oil. There's over half left so I reckon it'll take a while!

Just opened a Boots Extracts cocoa butter body butter and I'm very impressed with the latest formula, it is beautiful, like lightly whipped cream and smells amazing:T

I love these body butters but for some strange reason never think to buy them except on the Jan sales when I usually pick up the selection box of them (though I didn't this year).

I opened the LE sachet of Tiare Flower body lotion this morning. Very impressed with both the quantity (the sachet will do 2 x full applications) and texture (felt like a body butter) however the fragrance is not for me. I wasn't sure whether I would like it TBH as I had a Tiare Flower Yankee Candle once that gave me a headache. I will finish the sachet tomorrow though.

I also started using Emma's TBS Seaweed cleanser this morning to help her UU as she has switched to the Tea Tree one (which is really making a great difference to her skin colour and texture). It's very highly fragranced for me however it seems that I am becoming really mean and feel the need to finish it even though I'm not loving it.

Soap & Glory stuff does seem to last for years. I have one of their 500ml bottles I was given for Christmas 2012, started using it in September last year and it is still going! I'm hoping I can use it all up by Easter but not holding my breath...

2 unexpected UUs!

Avon sensitive eye cream-WNBA- as I said it made my eyes stream so I used this up on my hands. It has also changed texture so I didn't bother cutting it open to get the rest out

Nivea care gloss and shine lip gloss in natural- WNBA- this was nice and moisturising for a lip gloss however I don't think it's made anymore. Also I want to find a natural lipgloss as I'm aware you end up eating lip products and I'd rather not ingest copious amounts of petrolatum..

In the last 48 hours 9 lovely new nail polishes have arrived at my house:j, the Leighton Denny collection plus 3 lovely Holographics, 2 of which were in the sale. I have "skittles" on my left hand of deep purple with red flashes, dark rose, minty green, lilac and orangy peach, none particularly well applied, but acceptable so I think I will do the other hand to match for a day or so.

I have a couple of spluttery items, but using lots of full sized products so don't expect March to be a very busy month.

I have one of the MUA Flawless primers, looking forward to trying it soon:D
