No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in December

lilian1977

A UU to report - No 7 cleansing wipes. Good but probably WNBA because they're expensive for what they are. I've been tearing them in half to make them last longer as they're big and I don't wear that much makeup. Moving on to Tesco own now.

The Boots sale has started and I managed to get the Marc Jacobs Daisy gift set that I wanted. It wasn't half price but it was a third off so quite a good deal. It was hard going as it kept crashing but I went around the houses a bit and managed to pay for it and arrange to collect it in store.

Trying to avoid looking at anything else! I usually do get quite a few bits to use for birthday presents and next Xmas but I often end up keeping them for myself which I'm trying not to do any more. I got quite a few bits in the 75% off sale in store last year so am going to try to wait until then.

Have seen the post about the Boots sale and am just having a look but think I'd prefer to browse instore as there isn't anything I want at this moment in time. Will have to see what Santa has brought.

Hi all and Happy Christmas.

Got a lovely gift this morning from the people I work for of two bottles of lovely wine and a big box of Ferrero Rocher. They are a tiny company but always send me something, DH works for a multi-billion pound international company and got nothing at all.

Smells lovely in my house, very festive, mince pies made and in the oven, YK Christmas tree tart on the go and a lovely log fire in the stove.

No uu to report. Will be doing my nails in Avon Ruby Slippers later, a very festive glittery red.

Had a look at the Boots sale and would like some Gok things but don't know if MIL has got me any and I don't want to duplicate.

I've yet to find any wipes that I really like but I do still use them for convenience, speed and because I'm lazy! I get the cheapest Tesco own brand ones and they're just as good as any of the more expensive ones that I've tried.

I got a lovely candle from my husband's cousin yesterday that put a huge smile on my face

I also wanted to mention that on the facebook page, people have commented about having another swap after the holidays, if you are interested, please send me a quick pm, i'd like to know how many people are interested. We may even up the amount as the £5 amount was too little according to some of you

Erm, what did you do with the candle that made you get a huge smile on your face? :eek: :rotfl:

How do I join the Facebook group please? I promise not to make naughty comments if you let me join!

Right ladies, it might not have been a good idea to make a new stash list a few days before Christmas, but I had to clean out my cupboard anyway. Before I start I would just like to report a final pre-Christmas UU of S & G Flake Away (300ml). WIBA? I like it, apart from the oily feeling, which also makes it easy to slip in the shower.

So here goes:

Not the poshest of stash lists, but I'm quite pleased at how much I have used up, considering that list also includes every single sample I have. There's still a way to go, but I'm much better off than I was this time one or two years ago!

Also, I haven't included about 7 very old looking make-up products that I'm 99.9% certain I'm throwing out. I'll let you know if I do!

:rudolph: Merry Christmas everyone! :rudolph:

Think I forgot to declare these the other day so UU Timotei golden highlights shampoo, IN garnier roll on. Booked my first Christmas Eve off ever and I'm actually a bit bored lol done some online sale shopping and am trying to decide whether to drive a 110 mile trip for a trip to Lush, amomgst other places of course but its the place with nearest Lush...prob better off paying the postage and trying online and going somewhere more local for the sale but still I like to choose lol.

OK ladies, so I've finally bitten the bullet and decided to TA those items that have been lingering for faaaaar too long in my make-up case. Please take your final bow, the following cosmetics:


Bourjois Iridescent Blue eyeshadow [TA]
Bourjois brown eyeshadow [TA]
Bourjois brown blusher [TA]
1 x Virgin Vie Clear Lip Gloss [TA}
1 x Rimmell pink lipstick [TA]

I'm sorry to see the back of the clear lip gloss as it was actually pretty darn good, albeit very overperfumed, but I don't get what all the fuss is about Bourjois eyeshadows, TBH: I found them very hard, and hard to apply. The Rimmel pink lipstick was quite nice in its day, although felt a bit superficial on the lips.

Right, that's me done for now so have a wonderful Christmas one and all, and enjoy your legal ins!
