No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in December

[lilian1977]

Last few UUs to report this year:

Aveeno Serum - what a waste of money, lasted about 2 weeks and that was with using a hat pin to push it up from the inside for the last week. Rubbish.

Saaf Body oil sample - nice but felt very greasy at first. WNB either again.

INs - 6 x 500ml Oral B mouthwash (alcohol free) as it is £1 in Tesco and they didn't have it yesterday - great price so stocked up.

Feeling quite smug at the moment, just out of the bath and have UU lush hair mask (hair doctor) and overindulged with be never to busy to bee beautiful - wiba? Yes to the mask, after a shaky start I actually don't mind it - and no to the BNTBTBB, I like honey but I don't like this!!!
Just drying off via towel and dog (Maisie is in massive cuddle mode - prob need another bath when she moves!) before another UU, the lemon verbena body butter from my sunswap back a few months ago. Wib? Yes, I think I would. The smell doesn't last long / soon gets overpowered by horse (or dog) but it goes in nicely and does a good job

Happy new year ladies, see you all next year!!!

Hello everyone!
So good to see everyone using up their last products for 2012. I'm doing the same thing. I'm not going anywhere tonight as I'm so tired from working so many hours.

Here are my final UU's from 2013

1. Chanel perfection lumiere - I wnba as it dried too quickly onto my face and mattified too quickly into my pores.
2. J'adore spray sample
3. Miss Dior spray sample
4. Lush butterball 2x
5. Lush so white bath ballistic
6. Lush ayesha face mask - this really helped with making my pores smaller and it did feel like my face was "lifted" and "tightened"
7. Lush bb seaweed - I liked this as a mask but it's not my fav out of the group
9. Lush mr punch soap - I got 100g of this a month ago and it lasted me that long. I really liked the soap for it's faint fruity and not overpowering scent
10. Lush snowcake soap - I got 100g of this a month ago as well and I really loved the sweet and moisturising qualities of this soap.

So that's it for me for 2013! I am so excited to see how far I get next year.

Be safe everyone & happy new years!

Creeping in at the tale end of the month/year with a UU. Ren vetiver hand and body lotion which I hated. WNBA. I found it really drying, ineffective and couldn't stand the smell. I see I am not the only one who didn't get along with it.

And - hope you heard some good news about your friend today. Also I feel that the thread did go on a bit of a BB tangent a while back and I am pleased so see the refocused efforts of us on this challenge that your words highlighted.

Such lovely and elequent thoughts being shared today.

I, for one, am so glad I found this thread and all of your support does make such a difference. As a direct result of being here for over two years I have more money now, less stash, more HG items and have gotten to (virtually) know some lovely ladies . Wishing all of you a wonderful 2013 and see you all next year.

I got a Clarisonic recently too - just needing to work out the right frequency of use for me - my skin is quite sensitive so I have to make sure I don't use too much on my cheeks as they can go rather red. But it does seem to be having a positive effect on me.

I also got a tangle teaser brush (not electronic I know but still a gadget) and that does seem to a rather kinder way of getting the knots out of my hair.

Next thought is whether I can find a more efficient hair dryer that I can use for the perfect blow dry without needing to use my straightening irons after. Suspect it might be more down to technique and product though and I just need to practice a bit more, pay more attention to my hair dresser's technique.

Happy New Year everyone

totals for the month are

INS 58
UU 57

Started with 413 products
Ended with 408 products

It has been an ok month actually! Sold a lot and didn't buy most of the things that were INS!

After thinking my last UU would be it for December, I have 3 more!

Eucerin Aquaporin eye cream: WNBA, didn't really do anything.

Body Shop satsuma scrub: WNBA as not scrubby enough for me. Love the smell though.

Dead Sea Spa Magik body salt brush sample: WNBA, was a bit oily.
