    *WARNING - enabling post!*

    Was in Tesco earlier and there are a couple of magazines with freebies this month.

    Marie Claire - Neal's Yard lip gloss
    I gave it a miss as I didn't think the colour would suit me.
    Mag £3.90 I think.

    http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/news/beauty/545788/get-a-free-neal-s-yard-lip-gloss-and-20-off-in-marie-claire-out-now.html

    Glamour - Model Co mascara/eye liner/lip liner or lip gloss available in 2 shades.
    Think mag is £2 but don't quote me on that!
    Our store didn't have any lip glosses and I didn't need another mascara, eye liner or lip liner so gave this a miss too. :A :p
    :heart: Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

    I'm in again!
    Thanks for starting us off Babafette.

    Really, really going to try to have one month where I don't buy anything!! March is going to be that month! Haha! Wish me luck.

    Thanks for the new thread Babafette

    I'm in again :beer:

    Just been catching up on last months thread - really enjoyed the discussion about comedians :rotfl:

    Hammyham I too have acne and read Caroline Hiron's advice, sadly I don't fancy changing my diet like that either! I only get bad spots on my chin so am guessing my problem must be hormonal? My skin has gone quite dry though recently.

    Fizzwhizz I too swapped clothes for toiletries although my clothes spending problem returned with a vengence since I decided to try and stop buying make up :rotfl: I caved today though and bought a few bits, did manage to not buy any make up for the whole of February though which means I can do it! As I said in the last thread, my main aim now is to buy no more eyeshadow palettes!!

    No UU to report but do have some INS to declare :o will be back shortly to record them.

    Has anyone tried the Nuxe reve de miel lip balm and is it worth the hype? It is cheaper on the Escentual website and my lips are really dry.

    Had a quick look on the Sephora website, thanks to whoever posted that they now ship to the UK. Couldn't see anything I wanted though :A

    Hi, I've been reading the February thread and as a result was inspired to count up all my toiletry/make-up items. I counted 249 items, so I think I may need to join you here!
    My weaknesses are sale shopping and body shop discount codes! I also have a horrible habit of opening new items before I have finished the old ones.

    GC: £40 a week. Sticking to my budget, but never remembering to post in the relevant thread.
    Probably buying toiletries that I don't need, as I can't resist a "bargain."

    I'm going for shower now to use up my intensive conditioner :)

    I am actually to scared to have to actually write everything down- it's in 3 rooms!!! That is bad!
  • OMG this part is so hard!!!

    I only ever use Lavera rose milk shampoo and have a new bottle of that, so that should last me 3 months. I only ever use coconut oil as a conditioner and have just a little bit of this left.

    I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link to products, am I? I do have a really good acid peel (you put the acid on for one minute, then the neutraliser for one minute, then wash off) which only costs £8 on ebay, it's the same as salon treatments and is brilliant. If I'm allowed to then I'll link it.

    When I run out of my current products I will cry. I have Oskia day cream (brilliant, nearly gone), some organic face wash by circaroma (3 months left of this), temple spa truffle cream (the most brilliant thing ever - nearly one month's worth left), some rose hydrolat toner (sadly when run out of this then that's that, toner is a luxury).

    As for makeup I have Inika foundation, which should last half a year as I only use a little to balance out. Still have enough eyeliner for half a year. I don't really wear makeup apart from this though I do have a really pretty organic rose powder blush which should last the next two years. I have a couple of nice makeup brushes and a mason pearson hairbrush though don't wash them as often as I should.

    I'm not going to spend on anything else for quite a while but I will miss getting nice eyeliner when mine runs out. I don't buy perfume anymore, I have essential oils of rose, jasmine and sandalwood and mix up a body scrub to use in the shower with sweet almond oil and himalayan pink salt.
