No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in November Challenge

RightyTightyLeftyLoosey

Out: Superdrug Raspberry & Macademia Nut Shampoo & Conditioner (bought on offer for £1.75 the pair)
In: Superdrug Coconut & Almond Shampoo & Conditioner (paid for with points).

These are both from the same range - its really good stuff. So impressed for the price. Hair is mega shiny and manageable.

Have almost managed a no spend month. Yay me.

Hi all, hope you're having a nice weekend. I'm really hating my deodorant as it's so meh. can't wait until I can get back onto my favourtie dove stick

I have so many samples to use up - mostly suncream and hair products from doing Boots product tests. Also have a huge stash of MAC eyeshadows, which I don't think I'm ever going to get through.

Lip products seem to be the easiest to get through, then moisturisers - I use some facial moisturisers on my body just to use them up.

Am starting to run out of some staples and might ask for some staples as Christmas presents, which will save my no-buy (she rationalises).

Thanks VALM Maybe they're not gloopy then and that's just the consistency. I may buy one full-size bottle then to see how I get on with that. I stayed away from the TSV :eek: Was going to check it out, then (luckily I guess) got too busy at work to do anything!!

Before you buy sawan have a look at the reviews on makeupalley.com as those ladies are really unforgiving if the formula of a certain colour does not live up to scratch! What kind of colours are you looking for. I have just repainted my nails with OPI Sparrow me the Drama (dusky pink from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection) and I've topped it with Rainbow Connection.

We have 4 UUs this week:-

Superdrug Vitamin E cleanser - WNBA : not impressed at all with this one. Have now opened an Elemis one I had in my stash. Having reviewed the stash today to "shop" for my sister's Christmas present I note I have only one left in there - a tube of Elemis Melting Cleansing Gel. Once these are gone think I will keep using TBS Aloe cleanser.

Philosophy Glow and Behold shower gel - WNBA - this was a limited edition last Christmas which MrM bought for me. There has only ever been one other Philosophy Shower Gel that I haven't gotten on with and I've tried loads of them. Glow and Behold has got to have been the worst! It was the same colour and had the same smell as Lucozade. I have persevered with it though and now it's gone. Yay.

Emma had used up a bottle of Happy Hair Days Shampoo which I'm not replacing until it's on offer and a bottle of OS Chocolate and Mint shower gel which she did not rate as it was not very chocolatey or minty.

Yeah a fiver sounds about right to me too

Hi all. Just wanted to say hi and I'm still working through my stash. A few UUs but I can't remember what. Nothing exciting. And a few iNS but only essentials like toothpaste and shampoo.

Worked the other day with a lady wearing a lovely perfume. Asked what it was. (Just to know!) It was Burberry Brit. Ooh, I have that in my stash, so am now wearing that. See, it's great having a large shopping stash!

Hey everyone

I was a member of this forum earlier on in the year but haven't posted in ages. My toiletries collection has grown enormously since I haven't been making an effort (oooops!) so I need to get back on the bandwaggon! I have been having a nosey every now and again to see how you all are though!

Got a free day tomorrow so going to go through everything once again and see where I am, think I am going to be in for a shock!

Hope everyone is okay!
