No Buying Toiletries in Jan 2011 !!!!

raven-333

I'm in again. I still have lots in the stash and added a few things from x-mas.

I'm gonna give this a try this year

My only problem is seeing "new products" advertised I just have to have them. An example was the Radox Smoothie shower gels, when they first appeared on the shelves Boots were selling them half price, so I bought all of the varieties

Fake Tan is my other downfall, Got about 25 bottles in my cupboard!

Wow Sunshineyday, that is an amazing list!

A small UU for me today, M&S coconut body polish 50ml, not sure if I'd buy again - it was part of a gift set and I have a couple more scrubs to go at first, but not sure if it's as grainy as I like.

Hi all - am in again. Didn't post last month because I was too embarrassed:o about all that I bought, but back on the wagon in January! Finished a lipstick yesterday, never done that before, so that's a start...:rotfl:

Wow - Sunshineyday epic list there. I'm envious.

Well, no UU but I have a splutterer. Unfortunately it happens to be my favourite facial cleanser ever used and at £21 per bottle, is not something I wanted to run out so soon after Christmas. Yet the bl**dy moisturiser I don't really like the smell of is lasting an age! Typical.

My DH is making me show and prove to him that something is empty before I am allowed to buy another one. Makes me feel like a naughty teenage again. Haha. :rotfl:

2 rather boring UU for me
Dove Roll On Deodorant Grapefruit and Lemongrass- WIBA? Yes if it was on offer but I think I prefer the solid ones now.
and
Sanctuary Spa Body Scrub- this was from the GWP glitch at Boots a few months ago. WNBA as I didn't like the film it left on my skin and it made my sensitive skin tingle a bit. I loved the smell but found that none of the Sanctuary products I've tried have suited me at all

Well. I have just come back from shopping. I even went into Boots with 2 x 250 points of NO 7 products and came back empty handed. Either I didnt look in the right place or I am getting better at not buying toiletries. It was a first either way :T:T

Hello, can I join in please? I've lurked on and off for a few months round here and have made some improvements. My 'problems' have been stocking up on everyday toiletries when they are on offer in the supermarket, and using normal things but not using scrubs and things like that so ending up with loads. I also used to collect the free samples from magazines and stash them in a drawer but never use them.

Improvements so far
- Sorted through the free samples, picked out a few I liked (most of which I've now used) then gave the rest to a local women's shelter.
- Realised supermarkets have offers on every week and stopped 'stocking up'. There will always be another offer and I now tend to just have a couple of spares. We always use one up before starting another.
- I started using my scrubs - the skin on my limbs has been very dry and a bit rough in this weather so I'm now softer from the scrubs and getting through more moisuriser. Yey!

So, I don't have the massive stashes of stuff that some of you do (they look so pretty...) but need to just keep myself in check I think!

Hello Turtle and welcome :j
Good for you giving some of your stash to the local women's shelter :A

SunshineyDay - What a stash....... All those perfumes, do you have them out on the dressing table???

Lemongrass - Are you another Sanctuary fan??? Whats the ones in blue please???

No useage for me so far today, been busy taking tree down etc, so will have my daily bath shortly and try to use up some bits from round the side of the bath.....

Quick Question - whats the sealed pot challenge I keep 'hearing' about????

Things I will need to buy this month:
Deoderant (I have a nivea roll on and a dove spray, but they just don't work on me so I'm going to bin them, only thing that works is Mitchum!)
Shampoo/Conditioner, but I will wait til I get my hair done on 14th jan and buy it when I'm at the hairdresser, should have just enough conditioner until then
APART FROM THAT NOTHING!! Let's see how well I do! Make up is my biggest problem, but I wear the same look every day..therefore do not need 20 different eyeshadows etc! (at over a tenner a pop :eek:)
