No buying unnecessary toiletries March 2014

I need help. I'm on Superdrug's website and things are in my basket...:eek:
We are watching you..............:rotfl:
My Clinique order came. I'd mucked it up though and ordered 2 x clarifying lotion instead of a liquid soap and a clarifying lotion. Ones a mild and ones a 2 I had emailed them but they've sent the order out before they had a chance to fix it I think

Hello ladies, just checking in. Belated birthday wishes to Dolly and good luck with the exams Parisian.
I have no use ups to report I'm afraid and I don't feel like I'm making very much progress with my stash.
This is exactly how I'm feeling at the moment. I look at everything jammed in the cupboards and wonder how on earth I will ever use it all. Yet I still can't resist buying more when I see a bargain.I've just counted up how many body lotions I have left in my stash and it's 21. :eek: How depressing. I'm actually feeling quite down about that.

Put your hands in the air and step away from the computer..........I need help. I'm on Superdrug's website and things are in my basket...:eek:

I did well today. Savers had Jergens and Aveeno lotions at bargain prices (£1.79 & £2.99). I resisted, and was glad because I remembered later that the Avon oat - based lotion I like best is very much like Aveeno and I have a BIG bottle of that to use up.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0

Just been in Lidl and they had Madam Glamour candles and gift sets containing shower gel and body lotion. I don't like it luckily! They also had the new 'Diamonds' perfume. I tested it but already had perfume on so don't know if I like it or not.
Will have to remember to not wear perfume next time I go. Although it's probably best if I don't like it. I don't have a massive stash of perfume but shouldn't have to buy any for a long time -not that it's ever stopped me before!3 stone down, 3 more to go0 -
hi ladies, sorry have been awol as dear sister staying with me,just had a lovely wrap at a spa

was fed up this week as sold some No 7 eyeshadow(£9.50 at Boots) for £1.60 plus £2.60 postage (she beat someone else at the last second too)and she emailed me and said the postage was extortionate and would I reduce it!!!I emailed back and said no as she should have seen the price of it before she bid and I would be making hardly anything once the fees were taken and I got absue back!!!!she has not paid for it of course so now have to do another unpaid claim where I will of course be unable to leave neg feedback as a seller!!!!!!!!!!
is it worth it???????0 -
UUs:
49. Elemis Skin Nourishing Shower Cream 100ml - this was a GWP and, whilst I enjoyed using it, WNB as wouldn't pay Elemis prices for shower gel
50. Sanctuary Body Butter 100ml - HG, WBA but plenty of other lotions/butters to get through first!
And a TA:
1. No7 Revitalising Hand Saviour 25ml - this was sealed but annoyingly had gone off. Unless, of course, it is meant to be a watery neon yellow rancid-smelling gunk :eek: oh well, plenty of other hand creams to choose from...MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -
Not having a good evening so decided to pamper myself. Have showered using my favourite Foamburst, smothered myself in my favourite Gok body butter and treated my feet using the electric foot file I was sent to test, some intensive moisturiser and my cotton socks.

I've just sat down to watch Don't Tell The Bride with a glass of wine and feel a bit better now.

A UU here LUSH The Sacred Truth face mask, WMBA but I do love brazened honey and none of the others come close, pray they have it in next time I make the trip:)
Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
Just been catching up on the thread.
Happy Birthday Dolly :j hope you had a lovely day. Well done on your lack of toiletries purchased! Amazing!
Hope you had/are having a lovely break in Edinburgh Fiasco and hope your hangover has gone now Val! I am no good with hangovers.
Good luck on the exams (think it was Parisian who mentioned exams but apologies if I have got this wrong, it was a few pages back!)
March is a real slow month for me UU wise. On the plus side, I went into Boots twice at the weekend and didn't buy anything!! I think this was because I had already spent a fortune on clothes that day
oh dear.
2 UU:
36 - Bourjois Happy Light Matte Primer 15ml - WMBA, lasted ages and seemed to do the job reasonably well. Not fully convinced though. Have got the new Rimmel matte primer to try next. Am a bit worried about trying a new primer though as my skin is so spotty at the moment.
37 - Nivea Daily Essentials Eye make up remover 125ml - WBA, using up the cheap eye make up remover pads I bought in poundland now though. Def prefer using a separate remover and cotton pads though as the poundland ones dry out really quickly.0
