No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in December Challenge

sawan82

I'm in for Decemeber (and probably the rest of my life at my UU/IN rate :eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks for the new thread Sarah :beer:

Rosemary apparently, you can contact Boots Trials team after 6 months (so keep a note of the product number & description) and they will tell you what it is

Silaren I also drool when reading the stash lists Love them!!

IlonaRN :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: LMAO at your description of the stash lists!!

Back from 1.5 (:p) days in Manchester. Went to see Bryan Adams in concert, we were at the front and it was brilliant! Some of you may laugh at me, but I love Bryan Adams and Bon Jovi

Got to declare for November later, and then a couple of INs as well

Mingle

2 unbought ins:
Klorane sample of shampoo
Unnamed body butter to trial

2 bought ins:
2 mahogony hair dyes but these will be used this weekend hopefully!

I'm in again!! :j

Still haven't got around to doing a stash list, but I do have a couple more UU's:-

Huge bottle of Herbal Essences Ignite My Colour shampoo - WIBA? Possibly if on a good offer, but I wasn't that fussed with it really.
Huge bottle of Herbal Essences Ignite My Colour conditioner - as above.
Imperial Leather "Precious" shower gel - WNBA. Really don't like the consistency of this, far too thin and goes all over the place in the shower. Was glad to finish it!

Happy Friday lovely people!

I'm after a bit of wisdom if anyone has any :-) I sorted through my stash the other night to see what might be giftable for Xmas - I have a stack of gift sets that have either been bought using offers over the year or have been given to me in the past (not that old though!) and I've not yet or will not use. As I am rather broke after the house move, am going to try to use as much of what I already have for gifts as possible.

There are a few things that I could put together into nice gift sets - unused Soap and Glory items, a FCUK mini set - but I need something to put them in to make it look like an intended set, if that makes sense - like little wicker baskets, or those small zippable plastic toiletries bags or something.

Anyone know where I might be able to find something suitable uber-cheap?

Thanks!
:-)

First OUT of the month for me this morning - Lush Vanishing Cream moisturiser. WBA as it's nicely moisturising without feeling too heavy, although a little on the pricey side (but it lasts ages). I have another in the stash though so don't need to replace it.

Sounds like a The range/Wilkinsons/Makro/Poundland type of thing to me... lovely idea

Flirtini, I did hampers a couple of years ago for people which went down well. I filed them with little wine bottles, crackers, some cheese and some other stuff. Anyway, I digress, I bought a lot of small baskets from ebay for quite a reasonable price. I believe they were in the florestry section but forget now. I got my cellophane from ikea and also got some from a local florist. Tied with a bit of florists ribbon which I then curled using the knife and thumb method. You can generally get florists ribbon from the pound shop.
I just typed in wicker baskets, new, in wholesale and lots have come up. There should be something suitable for you there.

I was just looking at the boots OOTW; it's the FCUK bag down to £22. Is it just me or is this really, really poor value for money? I got one of these type bags one year from a friend for Christmas so I know she must have got it for about £10. I know she's a super bargain hunter but I'm sure there was more in the one I got than there is in this one. Shame on you Boots, putting prices up on stuff AND reducing the amount of bits in the gifts. Hopefully there will be a 75% sale this year but even for £10 I don't think I'd bother buying this

4 UU

Superdrug Crush Bodyspray
Escada Especially Sample
Clinique Mini Clarifying Lotion - Sample
Primark Tea Tree Cleansing Wipes

Would buy all again

Count me in again please (after falling off the wagon in spectacular fashion over the summer - mainly thanks to birthday money and an online order from Lush).

I've got my original stash list from the start of the year, but there'll be various additions to it now. As I anticipate some CHristmas smellies coming my way I shall wait until late December to relist it all....

I got one of these 2 years ago and I think it was £18 with more or less the same products in it. I do like the fcuk range, but realised I haven't used any of the items from that bag yet :eek: so although I am tempted this year I don't know if I can justify it.
