No Buying Toiletries in Jan 2011 !!!!

tommyk

Evening all, hope we are all well, and all pampering!
Use ups to report, go me!
1, Anatomicals face wash, spluttered for ages and was a cheapy, so good value, but nothing special.
2, head and shoulders shampoo, no need to buy again yet, 12 in stash:o
3, sunsilk conditioner, for curly hair, my wild hair loves this, so would buy again, but 4 bottles of conditioners in stash to use first.
4,A bubble bath from mr t's the peach one, not over keen on the smell, nice but not very "me" , so gave the new bottle in stast to my big sister, who loves it.
5,avon shower gel, wonderland, I LOVE this one, smells gorgeous, however, you guessed it, 22!!!:eek:other bottles of shower gel to go, not counting gift sets!
Also 4 ins to report a dental floss and mouthwash, I dont tend to stash these so needed them, also a pantene conditioner, and hair mist, not really needed yet but very lovely, DH got them for me when he went shopping as a little treat:D
50p into the jar for each use up.

Evening all,

I can't believe how long this thread is! I thought I'd pop in and list my ins for January. These are a mixture of xmas presents and bits that I have bought.

Lush Lemslip soap
Natraderm body lotion
Iris soap
Elizabeth Arden perfume and lotion
Lipstick Queen Medieval lipstick
Sensodyne toothpaste
Colgate mouthwash
GOSH eyeliner
Clarins Gel Melt cleanser (still to arrive)

That is a shameful amount of ins, but they are lovely things that I'm looking forward to using. I don't intend to buy anything else AT ALL in January. x

Good evening
I have 1 UU, a No 7 gradual tan mositurier WIBIA no. It was ok had SPF15 but didn't give a gradual tan. It was almost used up but I cut the end off to get the end bit out but in fact I have binned it because the end has got a bit oily and I think it brought me out in a bit of rash yesterday.
Got a couple of other items getting towards the spluttering stage.
Went into Boots yesterday, first time this year, still quite a lot of sale stuff on offer, but decided against it. However was shocked to see the meal deal has increased by 30p to £3.29.

I have to admit that thanks to buying from the boots, bodyshop and lush sale I have more ins than you. :rotfl::o
Like you, though, no more toiletries for me - not only this month but for about a million months! :rotfl:
Do I feel guilty? No. It was my final splurge for some good bargains.:A

Oh dear. I've just received the LUsh times in the post today. Someone please tell me to use it to line the guinea pig cage tomorrow, otherwise I'm scared of what I'll do....

Haver 2 UUs to report: a vit E facial moisturiser which I can't do without (but don't need to replace because I've already stocked up...)
There's another but I can't for the life of me remember what it is.

I've also used up 2 bath things from lush, but not counting them as UUs as I've only just bought them! :rotfl: They not part of my original stash.

Nothing to report - no IN's or UUs and the splutterers are still spluttering!!

Nice pics EH. I still haven't done the pics yet as I am still struggling with the length of my inventory :eek::eek::eek:

What a stoater of a glitch Tara :T

That's fine - it took me a year to actually share any photos!

2 ins and 1 UU for me today.

The 2 ins were the items I bought on the Boots sale that I mentioned earlier. Got the three pack of Burts Bees lip balms for £5.00 - all full size and retail at £3,49 each. Also got the Boots Faritrade pack of 5 x 50ml body butters for £5.00 at half price equates to £1.00 a pot. Great travel sizes.

UU: Aussie 3 minute miracle WIBA? Probably not. I've been buying this for years and having now run out of conditioner (apart from travel sizes that I wanted to save for my hols later in the year but will end up using since I can't get me hands on the S&G one at the mo) was using it as an every day conditioner. As I get my hair cut regularly I don't think I need any treatments. Anybody else been trying to get the S&G conditioner?

Evening all!

2 UU and 1 in to report.

UU 1: Body shop hair butter. WIBA? Yes! Def it's my HG and leaves my hair really soft.
UU 2: Boots meditterean grape and lemon body butter. WIBA? I think it's now discontinued but no. I much prefer the body shop body butters to be honest.

And the in....
Today is DH's birthday and we went into town for a meal and browse in shops. He bought himself a treat and bought me a mini treat (no7 eyeshadow palette in boots sale) as he didn't want me to feel left out!
I do have lots and lots of eyeshadow palettes already! I'm not sure he knows this tho... But he does refer to the spare room as 'the make up room' so maybe he does....

@roshydoshy Didn't realise you couldn't order any, I replied to your PM earlier without reading the thread. Pity but don't worry there will be plenty more glitches...it's only January:D

@Tara did your OH not ask what was in the boxes he had to collect? Bit hard to hide them from the person who collected them from the sorting office:rotfl:Would he even believe they were free?

I was really jealous of a friends cosmetics bag earlier but not for the usual reasons.

The bag contained very standard but nice things. There was No7 day and night cream, TreSemme shampoo, palmolive deodorant, dove shower gel and body lotion, toothpaste, maybe a few more things but this is basically all the cosmetics she owns. She doesn't wear make up. It was totally clutter free and obviously such a simple routine.

I mean she had a bottle of shampoo, I have at least 20 bottles of shampoo. On top of this I have an equivalent amount of conditioner, heat protection sprays, serums, hairsprays...etc and I could NEVER make my hair look good with just one bottle of shampoo.

She had day cream and night cream. No serum, eye cream exfoliator, face mask.....

No make up = no pencils, brushes = no clutter at all.

She made me laugh too when she thought Topshop was a shop that sells tops:rotfl:But it reminded me just how far removed from consumerism some people are (but probably not anybody posting here;))
