No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in December

Motoko_2

Morning,

So far no in's this month, but I have a sneaky feeling that may change next week!
A few splutters but no UU's. My perfume seams to take for ever to use especially when it looks like it could be running out anytime soon - bet it will still be going into January!!

Happy Thursday everyone:)

I've been actually done semi-well this month so far,

UU off the top of my head:
Champneys water mint body scrub - WBA - love this.
L'Occitane cleanser, I think the new green one, not sure of the name, wmba, didn't break me out but felt a bit drying.
+ lots of samples

My in's were the half price latest in beauty calendar (at half price there were some things in there I know I like and travel sizes are handy for Japan next year, plus a couple of things I wanted to try that would have been £20+ to buy on their own) and a box of Bath and Body works handy-bacs (if hand sanitiser counts?) mostly xmas themed so some wil be GA'ed.

I have loved my LIB calendar and several of the things I have had so far are now firm favourites which I will repurchase. Me and DD have had a lot of fun opening it everyday and can't believe it is nearly done.

Went to the dentist today and the lovely man gave me three full size tubes of Sensodyne in different types to try. As a treat for having not had to have anything done I got a Mc'D's coffee and muffin on the way home using one of the coffee loyalty cards so quite :money:.

I haven't had anything in or out to report in the last couple of months, but finally I have come to the end of a few bits:
UU - Elemis Facial wash (that was the last of two bottles) WNBA as they are fine but for me not worth the price.
Flexitol heel balm - I love this but I have and S&G heel cream to use before then.
I'm almost at the end of the S&G body wash so that's one sputterer. I managed to resist the Soap and Glory offer this year as I think I have overdosed on it. I'll see if I get anything for Christmas but if not I'll be on the look out for a new brand of body wash.

UU REN Mayblossom Balancing Cleansing Gel 50ml - I found this too watery, so although I quite liked it as a facewash it was too runny to be economical. I think I have another 2 in the stash but probably WNBA after that.

Indiepanda, how are you? well done for not treating yourself to any new products.

I'm doing ok thanks Becky2. Still managing to keep clear of the shops, though my wine consumption is definitely up! Fortunately that's more because I am spending lots of time with friends, not because I am drowning my sorrows.

I'm feeling very much like I did the right thing and though it's sad, in some ways I am relieved to have a resolution, even though it's not the one I wanted. Being in limbo is pretty stressful.

I have one UU to report, the REN F10 Smooth and Renew mask. This is my HG exfoliator and I WBA but not yet as I have another one in the cupboard.

Got a couple of things that are nearing the end so hopefully have a few more UU to report over the holidays. Just hoping people haven't bought me lots of toiletries as presents!

Also planning to have a clear out and donate some that I don't think I will use to that charity that collects for the women's refuge, would be nice to start next year with clearer shelves with things I actually intend to use.

One more UU, my Korres Fig shower gel, this had been a PRC, but it is now gone, I will buy more Korres when the stash is reduced. I have some lovely sets of shower gel and body lotion, but curently two other body lotions on the go, I might have to buy a basic shower gel or two, so that I don't have to split the sets, but will go and delve in the cupboard first, just in case anything lurking that I have missed:rotfl:

Two splutterers are Gatineau eye cream and ant-aging serum, I will squeeze the last dregs from them, as although I have several small size things to follow, the Gatineau's are HG and expensive.

It is the most disgusting wet day here, I hope you are all safe from flooding. OH should have met his cycling chums at a pub for lunch today, but it is far too wet to cycle, so we went to the pub in case any of them turned up in cars (no-one did), but I treated him to a nice lunch, there are times when he is not the most thoughtful of guys (never unkind, just not thoughtful of others), but he is being amazing to my Sis in law and me atm. Visited my bro yesterday, it's weird seeing this 6ft, solidly muscled, fit guy asleep like a baby, but he has good colour and we are hopeful of a successful outcome in due course. (We just have to keep willing him on).

So pleased that you are doing OK. I have samples of the REN mask, but have not tried them yet. I love the Invisible Pores Detox Mask.

Thanks for the congrats on my CS bargain, guys

UUs to report - Liz Earle Nourishing Botanical Body Lotion, 200ml - WBA, effective moisturisation and the scent is pleasant and not overpowering. Have more in stash!

Just popping in to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & a happy & healthy New Year (if not prosperous!!) just in case I don't get chance to lurk over the holidays

No UU's for me at the moment but a few getting near the end and no IN's so feeling a bit smug

No recent UUs for me either, just popping in to wish everyone a merry xmas and happy new year :beer:. No INs so far this month! (which may change on xmas day).

Weather is awful here, walking home with a pushchair in the rain is not pleasant. And my umbrella broke this morning We have quite a bad leak in our roof but can't get anybody out to fix it until the new year. I've rung our roofer three times in the past week and I think he's ignoring me.

Think I will be spending much of xmas watching the damp patch in our bedroom get bigger and bigger...:( And I have my next exam for my diploma in mid-January so my blood pressure is pretty high right now! :mad:
