No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2013

sjprmc01

Ok, to tally it up......I've taken one of last yrs s&g sets from my friend and a shower set (I said I'd take these before Xmas but didn't see her till today)

In boots I got fearne hat set, botanics face set, no 7 indulgent bathing set, a botanics set with body butter in ummm I think that was all apart from a lip set and no 7 nail polish set but I don't really include makeup in my stash list although I probably need to do a seperate one for those

Oops, no! I got the fcuk set with the diary in also!

If I told you all what I got in the Boots sale I would have to kill you! :eek:

I don't think I would have bought nearly as much stuff if I'd gone to the store rather than bought online. Apart from anything else I wouldn't have been able to carry it and not convinced it would even fit in my car! :eek:
Most of it is for presents - honest! Trouble is I could probably give a lot of people a present or a few people presents for the next 10 years. I am going to TRY to make sure that not too much makes its way into my stash. There are some products in there that I haven't tried so will be keeping some of them. I got a small Ted Baker set for Xmas and really liked it so will be keeping one of them also.

I really need to get all of my stash into one room and make a proper inventory. I think that's the only thing that MIGHT make me stop buying - even then 75% off is SO tempting!

One more uu

Ren Moroccan Rose Otto Body Lotion 50ml - WBA lovely lotion sinks in easily, but wouldn't get in the mini size again as its so difficult to get the product out.

Ins and outs for the month are now equal, so all UU from this point onwards equates to a reduction in the stash in the month.

UU for me Sanctuary body wash mini WBA

I went to the Boots sale ops but not until 12:30 and there was quite a lot left, got lots of pressies for bdays for the next couple of months and a load of stuff for my sis. Few INS for me using the No 7 vouchers, 2 nail varnishes and an exfoiliator and I treated myself to the No7 nail set with hand cream and foot cream. I havent got many nail varnishes or a stash of hand/foot cream so Ive been a :A lol. I feel a bit guilty about the stuff I brought others through and its not even for me.

Unfortunately nail polish is on the list of prohibited items, but I still send to my friends and they still send to me. You just have to not declare it on the customs form. I know some people won't be comfy doing that, but I still do it because it's nonsense that companies can send nail polish but we can't? doesn't make sense to me at all.

Well, I have avoided the B**ts 75% off sale too. I had a look before Christmas and didn't see a single thing that I would really want to buy (even at 75% off). Progress indeed.

Hey ladies Apologies for being AWOL lately, was cramming for my exam (which was yesterday) so can now put that whole sorry business behind me and back into the much nicer business of using up toiletries!

A couple of UUs to declare:
Soap & Glory glad hair day shampoo - smelt ok but didn't foam up much. Was a gift but wouldn't buy myself.
No7 Protect & Perfect Night cream - a gift from a buddy on one of the swaps here. Quite liked it as it was thin and gentle, would probably be my backup to my beloved L'Occitane Angelica day cream

And one IN:
Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texturising spray (freebie product test, I now have 2 of these!)

I think I can now say I've graduated in shampoos (not that I ever had a massive hoard anyway). I'm on my final bottle now with one small sample bottle in stock so will have to start buying again soon. According to my lists I used up 6 bottles of shampoo last year and 1 so far this year.

Hope everyone is well in this chilly weather.

Hope the exam went well and great news about the shampoo stash - this is one of my problem areas that will take another couple of years to clear .

PMNT - M&S Limited Leaf.

I am now getting close to hiting the 500 UU mark, only 9 more UUs to go.
