No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2012 Challenge!

I just got mine too itsybity, it's my first one and I'm impressed! I'm thrilled with the Dr hauschka! I also LOVE not having a silly heavy box taking up space/money/postage costs. Massive thumbs up from me! I may even be inspired to blog about it later.

I think its lovely

Some people have far to much to complain about.......LOL!

Im thinking Amarya will be good for Skincare and the Joliebox will be good to get some make up bits and bobs (tbh i really dont need anymore make up haha)

and Latest in Beauty when they have the random boxes and samples available

Gosh are people moaning? I was a nit surprised, I was expectign a box and about 5 'products' but I was in no way disappointed.

Will check facebook now!

FannyAdams_2

Where are they moaning itsybitsy, I can't see anything on the Amarya box page?

Itzybitzy

Its on the Beautybox swaps page...........she is not happy with any of it LOL (and appologies if said person is on here haha)

I love the fact she says she didnt say what was in the box to not spoil the surprise but yet said she was very disapointed and didnt like anything. I think that would ruin the surprise more.....people are very subjective. And you are right about the postage and packaging thing.....would rather have a cardboard box than a properbox and pay for it

Is it you that commened to her about it? - of course you don't have to say! I did though.

Amarya is the classy ladys box :cool: haha I'm just kidding but it's very 'type' specific I'd say, it's not full of popular brand/make up/fillers. I feel like it's more worthwhile as your getting a full size of something useful (because if your signed up to amarya i presume its because you like natural products!) rather than 5/6 varying things some or all of which you may not be all that fussed on.

Itzybitzy

It may have been me :P

Well i dont know about classy in my case haha!

Where has the post gone???????? Dont tell me she has deleted it...i wasnt that bad was i?

I've either just done something sensible or stupid, I've decanted all of the little bottles of stuff into a soap dispenser to make one 'collated' bottle of wash so it makes my stash of toiletries look a lot better.

I seem to have a lot of little bars of soap though, they'll take a bit of getting through.

I did that when I started this (way back when ...... :rotfl:) and I would do it again if I got a lot of little bitty bits

You could melt the soap down a re-mould them into one giant bar? (easy to do - pop them in a bowl over a pan of simmerring water - a bain marie type thing - and just let them melt. When melted pour into a container lined with cling film and leave to harden )

Has anyone tried the S&G Pulp-Friction Fruity Foam Scrub?

I've got one from the OOTW too - and it and Flake Away are the two I won't use. have gone in the gift room

And - no worries hun - guess I'll chuck it as I'll never use it - unless I can palm it off on DD :rotfl: speaking of which .......

I have a GA - Origins Foaming Cleanser - can't remember what it was called but it was the one they gave away free last year. Those with long memories may remember my email battle with origins CS over the randomness of the offer and they sent me one as an apology and then BD tried to eat it when it came through the letterbox so I had to decant it into an empty pot?! Well it's gone to DD as she turned up on the doorstep at 11 last night and it looks like she's moved back in :eek: :eek:

Hope all are well - nice to see some familiar faces popping back up :cool:

my Amarya is here! I'm happy with it, I've always wanted to try the dr hauschka creams. i love the little purple bag it came in too. I've taken off the butterfly tag to add to my dressing table for decoration. small things! :rotfl:

Caudalie - Vinoperfect Enzymatic Peel Mask 3ml-Cant find this on the website but the least expensive caudalie product is £7 so its still a good sample

i got the anti wrinkle serum. i think its worth about £2/3 for the sample size i got.

i like the fact I'm guaranteed a full size every month. the others specifically say "samples" so i'm waiting for the day people do just get 5 samples and go mental over it on Facebook! :rotfl: it happened with some with nov glossybox and they were all over Facebook threatening to leave.

people troll on Facebook/beatuty box swops with nearly every box they get. i don't understand why they keep subscribing to them!

I've run out of uses so i can recycle all the posh boxes. i think they are a complete waste though. theres only so much you can use them for afterwards and I've no room for anymore fancy ones!

Itzybitzy

Im going to use the gift bag......as a gift bag haha!

Yeah some people are never happy!

The only complaint i have ever seen that i agreed with is the complaint about one of the Glossybox's that they got Batiste......as i think thats a bit of a cop out!
People complain its to much make up or to much skincare....seriously, there are far more important things to think about!
