No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2013

kameleon

Another two UU to report:

Palmolive Conditioner
Dentyl Mouthwash.

That brings total UU for this month so far to 8. Although it also means I'm using a lot of new bottles there probably won't be many UUs for a while.

Stash down to 100.

Also hoarding cleaning products, so joining rogueylawyer in her challenge.

Some INs to report *hangs head in shame* :doh:I made an online order in the Boots sale and got a 1/2 price Sanctuary set with perfume, bath foam and body lotion. So 3 INs.

Also though...3 OUTS! Hurrah! :T

10 - UU Sanctuary Amber and Tamarind Bath Nectar. Might buy again, it was lovely...but not yet of course.
11 - TA a little cube of gold eyeshadow by technic. It was free with a magazine and didn't really have any colour when worn, also, the lid falls off all the time. WNBA. Must stay away from magazine freebies!
12 - TA Bourjois eyeshadow compact with two blues in. I bought this a couple of years ago thinking a navy smoky eye would be cool...but it doesn't suit me. WNBA...but only as it doesn't me.

UU Benefit Its Potent eye cream WBA loved this! Got another in the stash but onto an Emma Hardie eye serum for Beauty Bible testing, I have already been using it as you have to do one eye with your usual cream and the other with the trial one but am going to just use the serum now.

Woohoo. 2 UUs
A L'Occitane Peonie body wash and an M&S royal jelly foam bath.
Both were small 50ml and 100ml respectively, but it's nice to finally have used something up!
I love royal jelly (but have plenty more in stock!) and WBA. The peonie was OK but nothing that special, especially considering how pricey it is.

yeah - buy in bulk - for great savings

Maddymay - thats FANTASTIC news - hopefully the rest of the recovery will be fast and proper

Ive got a spot. Not a zit - a huge ginormous blind boil type of thing right on the front of my chin that is in danger of making me look like Bruce Forsyth. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

I haven't posted on one of these threads in about 18months. 2 years ago I embarked on a plan to use up all of my spare and travel toilettries, which I did and did brilliantly! Didn't need to buy anything (shower gel, shampoo, conditioner etc) for about 9months. And since then I've done really well. Not overbought, odd essential things stocked up when on 342 like toothpaste.

But the main reason I'm posting is that I have just had my final UU from the stash of stuff I wanted to get rid of, 2 years on!!! :j:j:j:j:j:j:j. It's TIGI Bed Head Control Freak Serem 250ml. I bought this few years back and whilst it's ok, I've found better hair stuff (and cheaper!). But I was determined to use it up! It's taken forever, especially now I have long hair and don't wash it daily! But it's finally empty! :rotfl:

Flutterbyuk25 Wow :T:T:T Our first graduate in nearly a year. Well done!

Great news about your brother maddiemay.

I have a couple of UUs;

Andrew Collenge body spray. WBA as it is a good price and does make a difference to my hair. I have one left in my stash to use.

Feregamo body wash 500mls. WNBA. Did the job but was very expensive. Now onto a Louise Galvin body wash.

Up early as having minor surgery today and could have anything to drink after 5am. Coffee at 4.30am has put the brain in gear but quite possibly the wrong gear.
This is my thought - last year I won a bag full of clinique (sp) products which are in my stash along with BS stuff and boots stuff. Im currently working my way through the lower price end of the stash but this isnt going to last the time of repaying OD/CC. Dont want to use the clinique stuff yet as I cant justify the cost of replacing (if I like it). I may have to keep adding to stash just with more cost effective products until I feel comfortable using the others or keep them for a monthly treat.

Does anyone else think along these lines or am I just having a moment:rotfl:?

Hope the surgery goes well x

As for the clinique stuff, do I recognise the sentiment, oh yes, but probably best to use and enjoy or find you've kept them so long they've gone off. (See the pink rose candle philosophy described on the front page of this thread).

I have one UU this morning - well sort of. I was near the end of a REN resurfacing AHA concentrate and managed to knock the bottle on the floor and break off the glass pipette in the bottle. I don't want to risk using something with little bits of glass on my face so am TA the little I have left.

WIBA? Not sure, I think occasional use of the Clarisonic I bought recently will mean I don't need the extra exfoliation. Have to be careful with the Clarisonic though - too much and I just go red. Might change the head for the softest one they do.
