No Buying Toiletries in November Challenge....

Bronnie

UU giant tresemme shampoo , long-abandoned by DD, also GWP No 7 Blissful Body wash WIBA? it's a gorgeous product, I'd ask for it as a pressie, but dreary dull packaging doesn't do it justice. Think it was Kaz that drew my attention to how nice it was , think I'd been using it up washing tights before that!

DD has also finished a regular Head & Shoulders shampoo and abandoned a nearly-full colour-care Head and Shoulders shampoo and conditioner, which , curiously, makes her hair greasy really quickly. Oh pooh, I really don't want to use that up!

I said I was going to do this last month and failed miserably! I didn't really think about it this month but I've not actually bought anything, and had 2 UUs too!

I was so close to buying some make up in boots but resisted, I have so much make up it really is silly. I keep going through it to get rid of it but end up throwing out 1 thing, and then sometimes retrieve that again just in case! I think I might properly go through it and be completely ruthless. Not very MSE to throw it away but definitely SSE (space saving expert!)

It was me who was raving about the blissful body wash Bronnie! I love the stuff.
Who was it who is using a bottle of wash stuff per week? Maybe you should get a scrubby? It would make your products last an awful lot longer. I only need a tiny blob of body wash on mine and it does my whole body. Even if I'm shaving my legs (which doesn't happen often in the winter ). I'm not working tomorrow night or Friday night so tomorrow evening, I will be emptying out DH's drawer which I have filled with all the smellies. I shall then fill my list of who needs what buying for them for Christmas. Then on Friday after school I shall pop up to Bristol and start (and hopefully finish) the Christmas shopping. Then we can wrap it all. Then, I can reassess my stash (which I know has grown from all the freebies next door gave me and the aloe vera stuff I bought.

I've got some of the Blissful Body wash in my stash - might have to use that next now when my current one runs out. I agree that the packaging doesn't make it look desirable but you've made it sound very attractive and so I'll give it a go.

UU Olay poreminimizer foam face wash - got this from poundland but wasnt overly chuffed with it so used it up as a body wash!

Binned 5 sachets of Avon Anew deep wrinkle stuff, tried it and it made my face really red so figured it best went in the bin!

Got a John Frieda shampoo that is spluttering so hopefully will get that used up this month!

I have one of those in my stash too, used the sample and loved it so really can't wait to start on the full size!

Re OOTWs - the Fearne box is really lovely but I wouldn't use any of the crappy looking products in it... would like the empty box though lol!

The P&P set is nice but last year's was so much better value. It was the same products PLUS an eye cream, lip care stuff and hand cream... and only £15 extra! I am still in two minds... but with £220 in AC points on my card I may have to treat myself.

It's marketing innit?

Once they realised we'd buy perfume called Colleen there was no stopping them!

Hope the toothache gets better chick.
