No Buying Unnecessary toiletries in June

InaPickle

Another 2 UUs, and cor, I'm delighted they have gone as I have been using them up for ages! :cool:

TBS Passion Fruit Body Scrub: I did have this in my stash for a while, and when I opened it for a quick sniff I realised that it was not far off going off, so I used it up in a pretty quick and liberal fashion. It's really nice, but as with TBS body butters, I noticed that it goes faster than many other products I have from other brands, so I would be careful not to stash too many at once, however good the offer.

Hugo Boss Orange perfume (50ml): This was part of a set. It's nice, but there are nicer out there so although I might BA, I wouldn't guarantee it. So-so overall.

On to finish my travel sample of S&G Flake Away and crack open a new bottle of JLo Glow now. I'm loving whittling it all down!

Hello everyone!

I've been quite quiet recently. I've had a few UUs and a few ins, but I have stopped counting really. I think my toiletry shopping has come under control. The only things I still have a stash of are hand creams, a couple of shower gels and body lotions. I only have one in use and one back up of face wash, cleanse and polish, toner, moisturiser, eye cream, shampoo, conditioner, primer, exfoliator, body scrub and foot cream. I think I've done not bad...and this thread has helped me so much! I don't feel the need to keep an accurate count now, because I only have a few more things to use up. I will allow myself a bargain when I see it, but I seem to have kicked the habit of over-buying and never using!!

Now I need a thread for shoes......

:T:T:TAre you declaring yourself a graduate weesmiler? Sounds like you have earned it :T

Painted my toenails last night with Nails Inc Notting Hill which is a nice bronze colour.

Gonna do my nails tonight too.

I seen this unique nail polish storage idea on Facebook and think its fab.

V tempting until I read the snail derived ingredient :rotfl:

If anyone's interested, Revlon are giving 100 lip butters away each day through their FB page

I've a few much needed UU:

S&G Bright Here, Bright Now - WBA - love this but can't really justify repurchasing right now as have a small glut of moisturisers to get through and really need June to be a no purchase month as far as possible.

Trevor Sorbie Straightening Addict heat protection spray - WBA - have used quite a few TS products lately and been very impressed with them all, particularly like the Volume range.

Asquith & Somerset luxury soap - WBA

You have done well. If you find a thread for "no more shoes...., please lt me know:rotfl:Although I think I am cured of shoe buying, I just need to remember what I have and wear some of them!

Have a little uu to report, a mini Crabtree & Evelyn La Source body lotion, this was from a visit to Hilton Hotel at the end of last year and was in my camping bag but there was so little left, just a legs worth really that it wasn't worth taking on another trip.

DH is watching football so I am watching Midsomer Murders as he hates it, haven't seen it in ages and like the new guy much better than John Nettles, he used to put me to sleep.

I am watching MSM too, have not seen the early ones, but it is the dog that I really like:rotfl:

Have a couple of UU's, must list them tomorrow.

I used this when I was in the states, and although it's better than a lot, I have to say that my #1 fav bb cream is the new Dior one.

I don't know if I would say I've graduated, as I still have some hand creams, shower gels and body lotions to use up, but I think I will stop counting my ins and UUs and I will still keep up with the thread...it's the best place for reviews of toiletries!

On that note...I'd like to give a 5 star review to the no7 microdermabrasion facial scrub. I've been using twice weekly for the last fortnight and I'm noticing a difference already, skin is less congested and much smoother. Happy days xx
