I am causing a serous dent in my beauty pile right now and soon will be able to unitize those drawers for other more important purposes like storing my gym gear. I will also include candles and beauty tools into my empties/discarded lot so I can let you know what I think about them. 1. Prestige Skin Loving Minerals powder foundation My overall impression -  Finely milled powder with moderate to full coverage and slight radiant finish that makes your skin appear perfect and glowing without the caked-on look. Would I buy it again? -  Yes! I've repurchased this product again and again and will continue to do so...I haven't found a better loose powder yet esp. for the price. 2. Clarins Multi-Active night creme My overall impression - I adored the original formula of this night cream, I would wake up with glowing skin and the classic Clarins scent was very indulgent. "New" version replaced it and my first disappointment was very generic new ...

  I picked up my Marie Claire parcel the other day . It 8 items, of which 3 were luxury trial sized products,and 5 full sized mass - market products.  1. Garnier Miracle Skin Cream.

My Frugal February was a success. I did majority of grocery shopping at Aldi, limited my coffee and take-aways, went out only once and re-financed my mortgage which should save me thousands long-term. I put saved chunk of money into an offset account offered by my new bank and feel like I am a step closer to financial freedom as mortgage is the only debt we have right now. Eventually I would like to work part-time (four days per week) so I have more time to enjoy life. I feel like I need three days off, one to run errands and do housework, one to socialize and one to relax. At the moment I feel like I can only pick two having two-day weekend. I must admit that I wasn't perfect and did buy few things but I let myself walk away and think about them first. I am planning to continue saving money, accumulating less stuff and only buy things that I really want/need.
