No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in November Challenge

Evening ladies,
Just popping in to log my November UU and Ins cos I don't think I will get on the computer tomorrow. Don't think I have posted at all this month because my UU rate has been so pitiful!
UU
Arran Aromatics shower gel, 'acquired' from a nice hotel I was staying in for a friend's wedding, wasn't keen on the fragrance but WISA? Oh yes, I can't help myself with hotel freebies!
No 7 face powder, bought with a £5 voucher, I did like the powder but it seemed softer than other face powders so I went through it quicker than I would have liked, MBA with a No 7 voucher
Tisserand tea tree shampoo, WNBA, was a very strong fragrance and I could smell it on my hair which I was not keen on.
Avon Extraordinary shower gel, WNBA, didn't like the smell and it was really runny so I used far too much. Good for this challenge but my :money: instincts were annoyed!
Liz Earle perfume sample, WNBA, came in TSV last month not my kind of smell really
Ins from Avon
Avon eyeshadow quad, totally unnecessary but I loved the new colours!
Avon Clearskin face scrub, have used this before and liked it so stocked up with a 3 for £6 offer
Avon Vintage Glamour shower crème, totally unneeded but I have UU 2 shower gels this month!
Must try harder next month ..... oh wait a minute, that will be December and no doubt a toiletries fest! Well, if Santa brings me toiletries I can't help it
No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins0 -
Seeing as people are already posting their totals for the month I'd thought I'd get December's thread started.
I hope nobody minds that I started it again this monthI was bored :rotfl:

One last UU for me
Avon shower gel- magnolia and jasmine i think. I would buy it again because it smelt so lovely and lasted for ages. Now onto the Avon 'sunset' one- an even bigger bottle!0 -
2 more UU to log for the month!
Avene Cleanance K - WBA, but using the one I had on stand by now. It's the 1 product I couldn't live without!
Simple Oil Control Face Scrub - WBA, not as scrubby as I usually like, but it's cheap and actually has helped to clear some persistent black heads. Again had one on stand by!
Think I've made quite a dent in the stash this month. Will post an update on the December thread about the state of the stash!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -

More UUs!
Cath Kidston wild rose body cream- WNBA, it feels a bit weird on my skin. Nice rose smell though!
Liz Earle foot creme- Its nice but I don't use foot cremes often enough to make it worth it so I prob WNBA.
Also had an IN of this months Boudoir Prive box. Lipstick and 1 mask going straight out for xmas prezzies so IN of Korres wild rose moisturiser, Vinies Veda face mask (that will probably be binned, according to the BP facebook its going to burn my face off and I think i'm too chicken to risk it :S), Dead Sea Spa body creme and 2 sachets of Rahua shampoo and conditioner.0 -
Another UU: Spa Siam shampoo.
WIBA? It was a present from a friend. It's pretty darn good (but not perfect), but nothing ever is on my hair. I wouldn't know where to get it again, though, as my friend bought it abroad.
Can I hit 130 UU before the end of the year? Maaaaaaaaybe...if I get out lots of little samples and use them up. T'would be good if I could, though - I would be SO proud of myself!:j
Please call me 'Pickle'

Last two OUTs for me for November:
Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo - WBA as it really brings out the shine and the colour of my hair as well as helping to give it a lot more volume and stop it going flat! It's not cheap but I do like it. I've got another bottle in the stash so onto that now.
Cath Kidston Rose Body Cream - WBA as it smelt lovely, was a nice thick consistency and very moisturising especially on my dry patches."A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." - Tyrion LannisterMarried my best friend 1st November 2014Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")0 -
Rosemary - I have the same problem - some days I can, some days I cant, and some days I can only thank one person !!!!Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0
