No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in November Challenge

asset2004

A UU :jOlya facial wash, bought using the Boots £5 Olay tillspit, WBA using the voucher but noticed Boots keep increasing their prices and since I have about another 5 in the stash there's no need!
Took ages to UU, despite cutting the top off it!

thoughts on secret santa......how about using a jiffy bag(recycled of course!) with a satndard or max size of 10 x8 (inches of course I don't do "new" money:rotfl:)and using items we did not actually buy such as sachets from mags and things from bonus bags and putting a min number of items of different sorts of things?
i always stick to the same brands(as with clothes) so this could be a chance to try new items.As long as we don't include anything to way out and put in items we would like to get ourselves(all new of course)for me the money limit would not work as no idea what things from bonus bags would cost and as I but clinique/clarins/ysl/occitanne type stuff these are expensive anyway(hence all my bonus buys!!)

can be whatever you want - the idea behind the "value" is just to stop people only getting one tiny something when others are giving out lots of stuff - purely to try to keep things roughly even end of the day its the thought that counts, and I know Id love to get a selection of sample sachets as a gift - I just love the idea of giving something lovely to a "stranger" (and they dont come much stranger than us lot :rotfl:)

I also UU:

Agadir Argan Oil Daily Moisturising Shampoo sachet - WIBA? - Well, I didn't buy this. SIL got loads of sachets free when she went to London. It was lovely and made my hair smell gorgeous. However, it was really hard to get out of the sachet and I didn't have any scissors to hand.:o

Agadir Argan Oily Masque sachet - This left my hair feeling really silky and smooth. I'm not sure how much this retails at but if it was a good price then I might buy it.

Sensodyne Toothpaste - WIBA? - Yes. It definitely makes my teeth less sensitive.

Listerine Antibacterial Mouthwash - WIBA? - Yes. Although it did really sting my mouth when using it, but it made my teeth feel really clean.

Evening all We have another UU here. TBS shower gel. WIBA?: Yes at that price .
I think the secret santa is a lovely idea but won't join in (bah humbug! ) as I'm just not organized enough to get something sorted at the moment. I'm too busy trying to cram in extra shifts and get Christmas and birthday gifts sorted.
Hope everyone's well? Hello newbies

Hey everyone, got a couple of UU to report:

Lush Banana Moon Soap - WNBA, it has a weird after scent to it

Skin 79 VIP Gold BB Cream - WBA, it was a perfect skin match and covered everything I needed it to. Onto the pink version now, which isn't as good.

Colgate Advanced White toothpaste - WNBA, didn't see a difference in the colour of my teeth.

Just got a message today to say that I've been accepted onto the Pantene Supersavvyme trial, oops, project.
Well, I confidently predict that I won't be buying liquid shampoo until 2013, as a result of this. I don't know if that's good news or bad.

I only bought 1 250 ml bottle (the Aqua Light, which I couldn't resist) and 1 solid shampoo this year. Still have some of one of the bottles I started the year with, a 400ml Elvive. Of course there were loads of freebies. Some haven't arrived yet.

I did want to try another brand of solid shampoo, but with the super-economic method I've developed of using Lush bars the one bar will see the year out no problem.

VALM I keep meaning to ask, I've only tried mini OPIs and found them gloopy and difficult to apply. Is that how the larger ones are too (I'm guessing the consistency is because they're lacquers and not polishes), and are the brushes better/easier to apply with on the full size bottles. *Disclaimer:this information is for research only and [STRIKE]does[/STRIKE] doesn't mean I will be buying*

Ha ha glad to help out with any research sawan! I stay away from OPI minis myself as the brushes are too fidly. Can't say I find the lacquer formula any different to the full size bottles and saying that I've not come across many gloopy OPI lacquers. The shatters though are gloopy - I don't use these but buy them for my daughter and she says they are gloopy.

Were you tempted by the TSV yesterday to aid you in your research??:rotfl:
