No buying unnecessary toiletries March 2014

Oh dear…

IN #10: Diesel Loverdose EDP 50ml; tenner off in Boots (£28.99 vs £47 in Superdrug), this is my fave.

IN #11: HE Hello Hydration Shampoo 400ml
IN #12: HE Hello Hydration Conditioner 400ml; this is the HG for a lot of curlies so thought I'd give it a whirl, both on half price and I had an additional 10% off coupon

IN #13: S&G Peaches and Clean Deep Purifying Cleanser 200ml; Said I WNBA BUT it was 1/3 off and I had a 200 points coupon so it was cheap enough to make up for the packaging irritations. I missed the pump bottle for in the shower tbh

IN #14: Soltan Once Facial Sunscreen SPF 30, 50ml; Half price.

I also had a coupon for 350 points if you spent over £35 so I have £6.36 in points and spent £45.40.

Also went to Superdrug with DD for birthday treats and she chose foundation, concealer, Stay Matte powder, nail colour, top coat, dry shampoo and a blush, and she also got a pretty ring in Monsoon and a faux leather rucksack in Claire's. Combined with new school shoes for DS1, a trip to Starbucks, filling my car with fuel and spending £70 in Sainsburys, I'm going to have to put my debit card in quarantine for a few weeks.

No more ins or use ups to report here, but I just wanted to send a hug to emsjune78. Sorry for your loss and I hope your work situation improves soon.

Right, I'm off for a cup of tea and some TV. My Sky+ box is 97% full!!!!

I personally would choose Need for Speed though just to ogle at Aaron Paul. I'd watch Long Way Down for the same reason. I gave up on World War Z on Sky last night as I nodded off. Brad did look lovely in it but I think it's his mumbly voice that sends me to sleep. Good job I'm not Angelina I suppose! :rotfl:

Never mind Mr. Pitt have you seen the delicious Mr. Fitoussi with his rather fit French accent?! *Goes red* *Faints*

So I went to the Trafford Centre.

In L'Occitane the Manager (who recognised me!) offered me the new fragrance to try - a Neroli one - and the accompanying lotion.

Oh dear! That's bad: when they recognise you it means that you have become a very regular face. :rotfl:

Estee Lauder double wear powder in Cool Bone - this was OOS in Debenhams last week when I purchased the foundation. The cool bone seems to be a much better match than the 'fresco' I was matched to last year.

21 ebay outs - mostly samples and items from beauty boxes that I will never use.

Ooh, you're the same colouring as me. It's nice to know there's another paley aboard! (Well done on the Ebay sales.) :rotfl:

I would say the answer to that is practice. I seem to UU things a lot quicker than most. I do love my baths which does help and if I don't like something them I repurpose it, I currently have a shower gel and I add this to my washing machine, shower gels/ bubble bath are excellent bathroom cleaners. I am targeting small body lotions at the moment so a 2oz pot lasts me about 4 uses. I have taken to using body lotion twice a day and I am quite generous in the evening. Saying that a 15ml eye cream lasted me 5 months and I used the last as hand cream. I also get thruogh tons of hand cream as I constantly have my hands in water at work.

I also want a jam donut.

*Hands over jam doughnut*

Fair enough. I think I had better get a slather on and start using stuff up faster! :rotfl: (Thanks for the info...was rightly thinking I was lagging a bit!)

*sticks another flag in the 'cool bone' camp*

This is my main beef with 'drugstore' foundations, they're nigh on impossible to find (a) pale enough and (2) the right tone for my skin.

ETA UU #50: Imperial Leather Japanese Spa Handwash 300ml; Just gone into the bathroom and found that someone *cough*DH*cough* had half filled the bottle to get the last dregs out :mad: I'm all for saving :money: but I HATE this. Replaced with a Carex bottle.

Hugs to you emsjune.

On the subject of the Philosophy Fruitcake set, I am using the tin from mine to store my spice jars in the kitchen cupboard. I haven't used up the contents it came with yet though.

I don't know if this helps but I'm a 115 in Make Up For Ever HD and I've had success with Bourjois Healthy Mix Radiance Reveal in 51?

Some outs to declare:

Bioderma micellar water - WBA HG.

Bought the Biotherm one due to the £15 points from Boots but its really heavily scented - back to Bioderma once I've used these up.

Sanex Dermo Extra Control antiperspirant deodorant - WBA got a box full of these due to a coupon thing last year where they ended up being 16p each.

Superdrug Facial Cleansing Wipes - WNBA scratchy, not saturated enough.

Clarins Eye Revive Beauty Flash - WBA but does a similar thing to the Origins vitazing so a toss up between those when repurchasing.

REN Glycolactic Skin Renewal Peel Mask 15ml sample - WBA HG.

Dove Hair Therapy Colour Radiance Conditioner - WBA no problems with this.

Colgate Max White - WBA

Thankyou, at the moment I'm currently using Bourjois 123 Perfect in shade 51 and I'm having a love/hate relationship with it. When it goes well it could rival ELDW for coverage and staying power but sometimes it just doesn't apply well; it's probably more to do with my temperamental skin than the product itself. I get a reasonable colour match with Rimmel Lasting Finish in shade 100 Ivory but it definitely oxidises as the day goes on.

I was shade matched as NC15 at MAC but I remain unconvinced on that matter!

Something that just made me laugh...just used the glamglow mask, and my boyfriend afterwards said 'ooh you're skin looks all smooth, like plastic. Like it's not skin'. I think this is a good thing?!
