No Buying Unnecessary toiletries in November

Thank you kiplingmonkey and roguelawyer!

I'm scared to do a stash list but I think you're right, roguelawyer, it will help a lot

Hello all!

I hope you are all well.

I've had an out but I can't for the life of me remembers its name- it was a bubble bath. WNBA.

I'm moving house in a month so there was a good focus. My list also increased several times when I came across a new 'store'. OH is now convinced I was a squirrel in a former life...

Started out at 301 products, reduced it by 10% in one calendar month :-)

That's awesome! You must be so pleased :A

I've started my list; I've still got nail and make-up stuff to go through but I've done all the big stuff and I'm up to 73 items already!

I've just thrown away 9 items that were mainly self-tanning creams that I've had for a couple of years and haven't used or things that I've used once and not liked. Shame they are really too old to ebay

And I've brought 6 travel-sized shower gels/shampoos downstairs from the bedroom to repurpose for small laundry loads/delicates.

Welcome CookieMonsta! & Hugs to all!

I have some UU to report:

1. Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream 7ml - loved this - very light yet moisturising, wish I picked up another when it was free with Glamour.
2. Jergens Cocoa Butter Body Moisturiser 200ml - WNBA, not very moisturising
3. Loccitane Lavande Body Lotion 75ml - WNBA, not too fond of the scent.

I've worked through all of my body lotion stash!! Yayyy! I will only buy one body lotion for day use at a time now, and will be careful to not build a stash. I have four Laura Mercier mini's that I use only when going out in the evening as they are very scented... in no rush to finish these although a couple are spluttering...

IN
1. Schwarzkopf Gliss Liquid Silk Shampoo 250ml - my hair was getting used to the shampoo I was using every day, and I was reluctant to use my expensive shampoo everyday instead, so I picked up this cheaper alternative for 99p. I read a lot of positive blog reviews about it, and it is surprisingly good!

Xxx

Welcome don't be too scared about things being too old for ebay. I think it was only last month we were all amazed at how much an old full bottle of linx showergel was selling for, it was FAR more than the cost of the orginal purchase you never know the bits in your bin might fetch you a fortune;)

Good luck with the stash list, i've got a long way to go yet still on well over 200 items.

1 UU to report 1 sample of Garnia BB cream in light, actually quite impressed with the colour of this and my skin hasn't broke out in spots may consider buying this when my foundation stash actually runs out..... not looking like anytime soon :rotfl:(2 more samples of this in the stash)

Hi All,

Few IN and UU this weekend for me:

IN:
Vichy Idealia Pro Deep Correct 1.5ml sachet x 2 - freebies in the post

I've also bought some Wilkinson's own bubblebath to fill up my handwash dispenser - read this idea on one of the money saving tip threads and thought I'd give it a go - it was something like 72p for a litre and smells really nice! Not counting as an IN though as handwash has never been something I'd stash. Was worried it might irritate my hands but no, its really nice. Pleased about this as OH uses handwash very generously!

One UU - Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream - Pleasant to use and nicely scented but I don't think I really benefit from eye creams at the moment as no visible results with this or other brands. WMBA in future - I've a Superdrug Vitamin E one somewhere to UU first but I don't think I'll be rushing to replace.

Hope everyone is well and has had a good weekend.

Got my selfridges lucky bag and i was quite pleased with it - got a couple of things i needed to get anyway and one of the things i got was worth the price of the bag anyway. I got a vitamin supplement for healthy hair which i'm interested to try.

I was going to buy one too, but then I googled the bag and found a popular blogger who was given one for free to review and she got one of the gift vouchers. I thought that was ridiculous as it feels like the gift vouchers were carefully "placed" and not random.

Oooooh, thanks for the tip! I'll definitely keep it in mind for the rest of the stash. I need to ebay some other things too and should really get cracking with it before the end of the month when the Post Office will get busy
