No Buying Unnecessary toiletries in November

Tater

Hi Ladies!

I had 2 UU over the weekend

Herbal Essences conditioner, the blue one, WBA - love the smell of this
Adidas stick deodorant - WBA, again love the smell of this

and 2 small (reduced) offers
Herbal Essences Conditioner, the purple one and a Sanex deodorant - both reduced in Wilkos and both needed so not feeling to guilty!

Two UU today, a rose body lotion and creamy body scrub that I bought on holiday in Bulgaria this year. I WBA as they were good value for money and the perfume was lovely but I'd have to go to Bulgaria to do so.

Also some GA today. I have self tan but I pretty much never use it, not really sure why I bought it. Because I do it so infrequently I end up making a mess of it when I do. So I gave it away to a friend who I knew would use it

- Dove moisturiser with a touch of self tan
- Lancome self tanner for face with added bronzer
- 2 cans of Ambre Soleil for body
- 1 can of Ambre Soleil for face.

I won't buy any more self tan - in the unlikely event I feel too pale for an event I'll get someone to do at a salon for me and save me from the streaks.

A UU last night for me - No 7 Cleanse and Clean Eye Makeup remover - Liked that it wasn't too oily to use on the rest of my face but it did struggle with mascara so kind of not fit for purpose! WNBA cos I don't want to be scrubbing at my eyes!

Two IN today but both fairly necessary - L'Oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss Crystal Sparkling Shampoo 400ml - Wanted something to alternate from the Ever Pure shampoo I'm using at the moment as my hair seems to benefit from some variation - didn't want to spend too much, this was a good price at £2.50 in HB. Must admit was swayed by the fact that its pink AND sparkly, like Barbie in a bottle! Never used it before so will be interesting to see how it performs. Other IN is really more necessary - Sure Clear Pure Crystal roll-on 50ml - straight replacement for the one that's currently spluttering - still counting as an IN as I have been known to stash deodorant in the past....

Hi everyone! I have been keeping up with the thread but haven't had time to post my UU for ages because too busy at work. So there are quite a few I'm afraid

Trevor Sorbie Beautifully Straightened shampoo - WNBA, it was a xmas pressie from my mum and not really right for my hair.

Avon Naturals Milk and Honey face cleanser - WNBA, hated this. It was a rubbish cleanser and couldn't get rid of any make up so eventually managed to finish it off as shaving cream

Lush Maple Taffy lip balm - WNBA, it was alright but if I didn't use it every day the top layer went all gritty. Also the little tin was really annoying to get open!

Clinique eye cream GWP size - WNBA, this did absolutely nothing, if anything my eyes look worse :eek: I am really bad at remembering to use eye cream so it tends to take me a while to get through any!

Naked Orange Blossom shower gel - WNBA as a shower gel, it was too runny and not strongly fragranced. It did however work a treat in the handwash dispenser (which is where the ginger fragranced one has now ended up!)

Nivea for men sensitive shaving gel - this was only a travel size but it lasted for ever! WNBA because I doubt I'll ever need to buy shaving gel for my legs again, I have too many other lotions to repurpose first!

I am sooooo close to finishing my 500ml Clean on Me, it will definitely go this month! There is also an old hand cream refusing to die but it should be finished soon!

UU

Vichy Idealia Pro Deep Corrector, 1.5ml x 2 - WBA,, gorge smell and made my skin really really soft

:T Well done! That's an absolute marathon, using up a bottle of that stuff! :T

And ladies...I moved flat, and broke my bottle of Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation on the bathroom floor on Saturday night! And I'm exhausted with all the moving. I'll have to have a pamper...as soon as I figure out where the face masks are! :rotfl:

Thanks so much guys for the warm welcome, I'm loving this thread

I've now got my stash all inventoried in a spreadsheet, 152 items altogether - not as bad as I was expecting but a lot of clutter in our little house. I've realised I don't need to buy anything for a looong time.

Do people include dental items and suncreams in their stash? I have a couple of each but since me and DH share them, I thought not.

Had my first UU! Grace Cole Lavender Polishing Foot Scrub 238ml.
WNBA - while I like the smell of lavender this wasn't very pleasant and not very effective at exfoliating either...

well....it looks like my chance of graduating has just been blown out of the waters. I have switched jobs to a cosmetic company and they literally gave me about 50 products to take home, so yeah, not graduating anytime soon LOL

Well, if you don't want it, pack it up and mail it to the poor colonial! I'd send the postage!

I'll take one for the team if you can't face all that product testing:D

@cookie Monsta: Dental stuff doesn't count in my world. With two servicemen in the house we use it all keeping their kit bags in order.

Congrats on the new job! :j That's fab news but don't expect much sympathy here on the products, we're all jealous!! :rotfl: Besides freebies don't really count....
