No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2013

laura16_2

I have 3 more UU to report.

1. Corsidil toothpaste - WBA really good toothpaste but the flavor is horrible
2. Nivia body lotion - WNBA it was too thin, I like a thicker lotion
3. Tresseme Shampoo - WNBA I don't like tresseme at all

Just realised the post of my new list is complete poop!
I will repost a new one after this week end as I am decluttering and have already got a good 10 items to GA and a couple more have been TA.

I'm being so disciplined it's scary:eek:

Have a good day everyone

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.

Are you using enough cleanser and water with the Clarisonic? I have to be careful using the Clarisonic on my cheeks as they are quite dry. I have noticed that the redness tends to occur if I don't use enough water and cleanser. I think it does irritate my face if there is not enough lubrication.

I used to use the Corsodyl toothpaste but it is so vile I dreaded cleaning my teeth, it is almost like pure salt and not good first thing in the morning.

Have two uu to report

Champneys Thai Royal Bubble Heaven - WBA as it is lovely but no need as I have another in the stash - of course. Moving onto a No7 bubble bath now - another one that I really love.

I don't normally count sachets as ins and out but on this occasion I am. A while back I was given 10 sachets of Clarins foundation by the SA, it is the liquid mineral one and seeing as each sachet was 1.5ml this added up to half a normal size foundation. I squeezed them all into an empty pot to save faffing with sachets and have used it almost everyday and it is very nice. WBA when needed.

My first UU of 2013 - I thought it was never going to happen!! Nothing exciting though just Organic surge conditioner (the shampoo version is spluttering). Was okay no amazing smell wise of leaving my hair feeling fantastic so WNBA.

Have Amarya ins coming but box hasnt turned up yet grrr! Really really cold here today, need cardy on and heating I think! I've still resisted buying the big sanctuary box for a tenner, really like some of the bits in it but I have enough of other brands in stash so its not really needed just wanted. And I've been drying to try L'Occitance almond shower oil for ages and nearly placed an order a few times last week but it was either buy a huge bottle or buy some of the discounted gift sets and i could face having so many ins or one big in that if I didnt like was money wasted and a huge bottle to use up! But I have been watching the Q beauty channel to see if it comes up on there.

Oh reminds me quick Q question, does the beauty channel have TSV or is it just the main channel and is there a way of find out when certain ones might be coming up?

And fantastic news about your brother maddiemay x

Good luck with the surgery. I agree with the others, use the Clinique or you might find it has gone off, anyway it may not suit you. Then if you find there are some things you love, you can perhaps start a little savings pot towards buying something, a good incentive for paring down other costs perhaps.

Great having all those sachets of foundation.

Q beauty has an offer of the month, it lasts the whole month and is aired 0800-0900 each day, but can be found on the website, it always offers free postage and I think some reduction, I have bought a couple of things from there. It is usually one specific product not sets of stuff I think.

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.

I would use the products you most want to use or like best 1st and then use the rest up, as you'd be more upset about a product you deperately wanted to use going off before you used it rather than something you weren't that bothered about. This is the approach I'm trying to take (but still trying to make sure that nothing gets too old).

Thanks for that, I've not bought from Q before and the high postage for things always puts me off. Maybe i'd better hoping the main Q has a TSV offer on something I want, is it that whatever shows at 12-1am is going to be the TSV? As if so at least I can look through the guide to see if something catches me eye - not that I really need stuff ofc but it's my birthday soon and it can be a present from OH if its something I've been wanting for ages! x
