No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in Feb

Have another uu today
M&S Isis EDT - 90ml, have another bottle of this but a 30ml size in the stash, I need a break from it for now so am going to use up a freebie 5ml L'occ Pivoine Flora then a half used bottle of Lidl Suddenly Madam Glamour.
I know what you all mean about the BS soaps, I put a bar of Cranberry Joy in the bathroom on Christmas Eve and despite using everyday and several times a day it aint going anywhere fast.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

And todays UU:
21. TBS Satsuma shower gel WBA but no need for some time yet.
22. TBS Satsuma body butter WBA but again no need just yet (and probably for about a year)
23. Ren clearcalm 3 day lotion 15ml WNBA it was OK but nothing special and I find the smell of REN products quite off putting.
24. Macadamia hair mask WBA but have some left this may be an HG.No more buying toiletries0 -
Hope you like your tablet Valm, my DH bought me the Asus one Christmas before last and I love it, its great for browsing the net etc. I did intend to read books on it as well have the kindle app on both my tablet and my S3, but just prefer holding a real book, so still carry books around everywhere so i can read on the bus etc.
The kindle app is really good though my dad bought a kindle in the summer as due to age he's struggling with printed books. He got an ipad mini at Christmas and has sold his kindle and just uses the kindle app on the iPad as he finds it easier on the eye.
This is another reason why I want a kindle. I'm finding it harder to read small print. Need to give in really and sort out the prescription I have for reading glasses. xVO5 Gloss Me Smoothly Shampoo - thanks to VALM for the VO5 recommendation, this is a fab shampoo at a bargain price and quite often on offer or available in HB even cheaper to boot. Keeps my fine flyaway hair fairly under controlA big thumbs up! Also bottle design is good so no need for cutting up, can just be stood on its head when its getting light.
Glad you like this emsjune. I agree that it's a brilliant shape for getting all the product out.Alton_Towers wrote: »UU Philosophy Amazing Grace WBA lovely stuff and smells gorgeous!
This is one of my favourite Graces too. In order though I like:
Pure Grace, Amazing Grace, Eternal Grace. Am using EG shower gel at the mo although it's nearly done. If the next Philosophy TSV contains any of the Graces I'll be purchasing.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

I have an IN the freebie Loctaine hand cream, got lavender which smells nice
Also went intoHB on my way home from work and bought the Ohilosophy inspired shower gel/ shampoo to try.
I see on the OriginalSoucefb page that they've launched a new shower gel - coconut and if you upload a picture of yourself with a bottle they will send you a free bottleso off to find a bottle tomorrow
Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

What's a TSV?
I love all the Graces too.0 -

You don't want to know Hermia! lol. My vice that led me to this challenge was spending loads on beauty products from QVC. Every day they have a TSV Today's Special Value. I used to buy loads of kits regardless of whether I'd use all the products or not as I was duped by the ml for ml value I was allegedly getting. The Philosophy TSV however usually features several components in the Amazing or Pure Grace fragrances ie a shower gel, roll on perfume and solid perfume. The kits however always include a new fragrance and then don't include the extra something that would make up the set ie in this case no body lotion so before you know if you've ordered the TSV plus the missing part from QVC to make up your own set as it were. Oh yes, how I've seen the light. xBack for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
