    Thanks for the new thread :) I'm back in again for this month, it's frugal February time :/
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
  • Has anyone tried this ? http://www.superdrug.com/seasonal/DEFAULT/Superdrug-Vitamin-E-Dual-Phase-Cleansing-Oil-150ml/p/297500#.VM_tsIHfWK0

    Even on sale the body shop cleansing oil is £7.20

    I need a new cleanser seeing as my nivea one is going to run out in the morning and I'm super allergic to the wilko one I bought to replace it. It felt like having a minor chemical peel. Will not be buying that again - sensitive my !!!!!

    I was thinking of getting that and the hot cloth cleanser as it is BOGOF

    It's not BOGOF that was wishful thinking it is buy one get one half price

    Hello fellow Aquarian, mine's on Wednesday.

    Happy birthday!

    I have my first INs of the month - my friend at work gave me her L'Occ freebie as she wasn't fussed by it!

    1/13. L'Occitane Delightful Rose hand Cream 10ml
    2/14. L'Occitane Vanilla Bouquet hand Cream 10ml


    and a UU:


    1/21. Cussons Mum & Me Relax & Unwind Bath Soak 50ml - fine but WNBA.


    Thanks VALM for the advice on LE IBST - final question: do you get the spritzer or the bottle?

    Sundaysgirl - I have always used shower gel to shave with, I just lather it straight on to my skin and I have never had any skin problems doing it that way.

    Thanks dolly - that's what I do. I moisturise religiously every day (usually twice) too so shouldn't have problems with it drying out my skin hopefully.

    Have put together PP list:-

    Elemis Pro Intense Lift Effect Serum
    LE C&P 200ml
    LE IBST 200ml
    Neutrogena hand cream 50m
    [STRIKE]LE hand repair 30ml[/STRIKE]
    Sainsburys nail polish remover
    [STRIKE]OPI Nail Envy[/STRIKE]
    LUSH Hot Toddy
    [STRIKE]Gilchrist & Soames body lotion [/STRIKE]
    various founfation sachets/travel tubes

    Another 2 UUS from my list above being the LE Hand Repair. Don't usually get on with this but it has been very comforting to use at the moment as my hands are so dry. Will concentrate on the Neutrogena one now.

    Gilchrist and Soames body lotion. As mentioned last time this was a freebie from the cruise. WNB. Felt like it was packed with mineral oil. Anyway they are all gone now.

    Though I don't count make up was pleased to come home from work yesterday and find a LG Balance N Brighten and Tartufo blush from maddiemay. Very pleased with both products and will probably alternate the BnB with the liquid foundations I have to UU in my stash. Am really not a fan of liquid foundation as it feels so thick on my skin. Maybe I'll save it for when I go out.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    2 UUs to report

    1. Ralph Lauren Big Pony Blue 50 ML , it is okay but I prefer the purple from this series. Probably WNBA.

    2. Ralph Lauren Big Pony Purple 30 ML, i love it but won't buy again in near future.

    I have couple of other bottles, some of them half way through so aiming to finish them. :T

  • 2 UU's to report.

    Lush Christmas Eve Bubble Bar – WNB, very happy with Lush stuff for presents as I don't tend to buy to myself. If I do I get bath bombs.

    Cien hand cream – WNBA, didn't do much for me.

    I was really happy as I thought I'd got my stash list into the 40's, but I'd completely miscalculated at the start of the year and it's back into the mid 50's without IN's! Don;t know what happened there!
    No more goo hoarding!
