No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2012 Challenge!

FannyAdams_2

I have a couple of UU's! Clean and Clear moisturiser, it's half full but I can't tolerate how it feels on my skin. I feel like it's clogging every pope but not moisturising at all! I bought it in one of my frugle 'i'm not spending over a £5 moments. Never Again!

Elemis Foot Cream Sample, nice but not in the market for a foot cream.

Evilsquid - good work on the shopping, I love the annoying boyfriend excuse! The Bobby Brown palette is such a great idea! So will you count those as UU now you've repackaged them into 1? (I would )

i'm going to be good and do them as individual UU when the pan empties i think. might change that idea if my UU start getting slow :rotfl:

this is what i got:

i don't feel so bad about buying stuff like this and brushes. at least this gives me more incentive to use up dregs and not just give up early and bin them with a bit left.

Hi all!

I have a couple more UUs :j - Liz earle foot repair - Would buy again if they put it in a decent package - the pump was terrible on this one.

Also used up a mini Molton Brown shower gel - always nice to use!

Had a terrible day at work , so did some comfort eating...kinda messed up my food budget going for a take away, but I must say, I feel better lol!

Not going shopping this week, must stay away from the temptation!!

Thank you everyone for your kind words spoke to security todays who thought I should take it further and they'd speak to facilities. I also explained that I don't want to make a fuss because of the bullying so I'll find out on Monday what has happened.
The bullying has beengoing on for a couple of years, 2 yaers ago it got so bad I was off with stress for a couple of months, but its slowl been building and this last few weeks I've been on the receiving end of so much harrasment from this man that I dread going to work and reading my emails to see what he has been saying. (I have been sending all my emails home so that I have a copy). I've spoken to HR and they have been no help, will need to speak to my union rep again. I keep thinking that karma is going to come, but I wish it would hurry up!
Back on topic, no UUs so going for a bath and pamper, :A hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

I live in a very small town with an approriately sized Boots, so nothing to tempt me in the 75% off sale.
UU 2 oz size Clinique Body wash, it was a GWP, very nice and economical, but probably WNBA.
IN Leighton Denny Brilliance Serum and tester Lancombe Teint Idole Ultra Foundation. Will be lovely for weekend bag, if it works for me I will try it when my spluttering Clinique runs out.

Would love to know what you think of the LD Brilliance Serum.

just to balance out all the INs I have a UU.

Murad eye lift illuminator - WNBA i got full size in a Sephora set for $25 but its on the Murad site for £27! :eek: anyway, its useless. does nothing and packaging is completely useless. you twist a few times getting nothing then twist again and loads would come out. I've been waiting for this to die for ages so i can get it binned and get back on my origins ginzing.

Asset-ask HR for a copy of the firms bullying/ harrassment policy. Go to your union rep, this is the kind of thing we pay our fees for.

Print off all of your e-mails - it's at a time like this when your pc will die, and you will loose it all.

None of this is your fault, and you do not need to put up with this at work. But, if this person is 'management' the only one who is likely to sort it out is you. I know it's hard, but just think how good you will feel when this person gets whats coming to 'em. Do it, do it now.

Hope you get it sorted hon.

I used to sell but not toiletries/cosmetics so can't give you any specific tips for making sure toiletries/cosmetics sell - but in general: Make sure you have a clear picture of your item, try to make your description clear and concise with all relevant info (ie:make sure the size, colour, brand etc are right) and most inportant of all - make use of the free listing weekends anything under £1 starting price I think is free anyway (can someone confirm this as it's been a while since I've listed) and on free listing weekends it's also free for anything with a starting price of over £1.(

This is right. I set up some auctions last weekend when it was free listing and set the items up as starting bids of 99p. Haven't been charged. Didn't make a great deal either Wasn't toiletries that I sold either - was a couple of pieces of Emma's old clothes.

i think the one i'm on now was a gwp at some point! it always seemed to be given away. this was my third pot and i think i only paid full price for the first! i bet thats why its gone.

the girl in boots said they haven't had any in store for at least a year. its sold out on asos and lookfantastic too. still on the American site thou! :mad: i may have to eak this one out til i go to the us and buy out any i see.

she completely tried to give the hard sell on the eye cream and getting me to book in for a make over. looked at me like i had two heads when i said i have too much in my stash already and I'm not buying more until i have no more left even if it is a miraculous eye cream with a money back guarantee. also thought i was mental for refusing a make over because if i try it, i'll want it and i dont want to buy more so the easiest thing to do is not to try it in the first place. i think us ladies are a breed SA aren't trained for yet :rotfl:

I thought that Benefit had discontinued Lemon Aid last year as well. When I was in the US I looked in a couple of branches of Ulta and didn't see it nor was it at Manchester Airport when we flew out (some of their Benefit prices are really good). Saw it on the off chance in Sephora (I was going to forego a trip into Sephora as I had spent loads already in Ulta) so got it from there.

Asset2004 - good luck on Monday. So sorry to hear about the bullying *hugs*. Hopefully your union rep can help you.
