Think I may have to rejoin this group - I gave up early last year having got the toiletries under control.....................guess whats happened - they have multiplied again! For now I'm just reading posts to get back into it, but will get a list up at some point and start again.2011
Still trying to reduce the toiletries mountain, now a hill........ :j

Please stop tempting me with all this talk of beauty boxes:(
I IN today, Balance Me Rose Otto Bodywash. Found a few Red magazines in local Co-op. It smells so lovely. I might be tempted to buy the other one tomorrow. In my defence, I have very few bath/shower products, I have been working my way through them for about a year and not bought any new ones.
Local Tesco Store had loads of Red magazine, but none included the free gift!
I think I am going to buy the Balance Me starter set from QVC, I was tempted when they were on air, but their dratted website was down again, so didn't get round to it, pass the naught step over please, whoever usded it last!;)
Hi maddiemay. I was bought some of these from QVC the Christmas before last and still have some of the Rose one left. I wasn't that impressed although remember enjoying the one with Ylang Ylang in it.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

I have a feeling my no 7 syrum, No7 day cream (which i hated and am just plastering on at night), FCUK body wash and my soap and glory face wash will all be done by the end of the month which will be nice. Working on trying to reduce my body moisturiser stash too as it really is out of hand!
Don't get too downhearted, the UUs will happen. What about using a sample size just to spur you on?
I am not long after finishing the balance me shower gel (70 0/0) which was nice but certainly not worth the £10.25 price tag. So I am not a convert.
No Ins or UUs today.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -
I'm getting good at this!
Another UU to report - Dove visible effects body lotion mini - WIBA - meh, no massive opinion either way moisturises well enough, but nothing to write home about
:T0 -
I am soooo tempted by the beauty boxes but am trying to resist!
UU Sanex 0% shower gel sachet, did the job! Only used this as I am using S&G clean on me and am halfway through and just really needed a change as its such a LHJ. I must pump about 10 shots on the puff and its still going! If this was used frugally I reckon you could get a year out of this!0 -
3 unbought ins:
TBS moringa shower gel,TBS moringa body lotion - it was my birthday recently
I love the smell of moringa.
I am feeling very proud of myself today. I went into Lidl (first time ever) on my way to work. I wanted to look at a couple of things people had recommended including "suddenly".I had a spray and then put it back!!
All day I've been smelling it at work so I might have to go back and buy some aaaaaargh

and a gorge NEOM travel candle in HappinessI'm so glad I signed up! Next question, I'm quite liking the look of the Jolie Box, would those who already get it mind giving me there opinions??
mine have been consistently late but the products have been better than glossybox. they've already dropped hints that the next one is a "natural" box and they seem to go for really obscure or niche brands that you wouldn't get anywhere else. it does seem to be slightly tilted towards skincare but we have had odd bits of make up too.0 -

I have given in and ordered one! I'm in time for February's box which was a nice surprise I thought I'd have to wait for the March box0 -
Only to keep moisturising them. I'm using OPI Avoplex oil on mine at the mo.
