No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in Feb
Comments
-
Morning all, no UU's, but am using several small sized products atm, so hope to have a few later in the month.
1 GA - Full size Lavender handcream to my SIL, she has had no time to think of herself in the last couple of months and is having to do lots of outdoor work looking after animals since brother ill.
2nd GA Barry M pink nailpolish which looked lovely in bottle, but does not suit my skintone gifted to my 10 year old niece for half-term play stuff. She is an outdoor kid, her pony and helping on the farm are her thing, but she does like a little play with nail polish in the hols, also sent beads and beading elastic, pretty pink cup cake cases and pink icing colouring to her (more holiday projects).
Painted my nails Leighton Denny It Girl on Friday, and then China Glaze Fast Track on Sunday (nude with very fine gold glitter/shimmer). Next up Nails Inc Lowndes Square I think.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
Just checked my emails earlier and found out i've been picked for a trial of a new Venus razor and Olay moisturiser :j!
I applied for that......*checks e-mails*
Nope, another one I 'didn't qualify for' :cool:No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2023

I only found mine earlier because i went into my junk folder =/ I never go in there so was quite lucky i looked. No idea what it's like, i know i'll have to do loads of questionnaires etc, so will hopefully fill in some spare time
I also applied for a pampers trial, but i can't find anything on my profile on super savvy me about it, and everytime i go to edit my profile it doesn't do it :S0 -
Have finally UUed my Benefit Lemon Aid. Have new one ready to open tomorrow. Cannot live without this product.
Hope you are all having a nice day. Have a few other products that are spluttering so should be back to report more UUs soon.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 didn't get the Venus trial either. It may be because I didn't download the user guide so I didn't know the answer to one of the questions and guessed it so may have got it wrong. I am doing three trials for Bzz at the moment, sure, maggi and vanish.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I bigged myself up for the Venus trial and I still didn't get it - I am one of Amazon's Top 100 reviewers, so you'd have thought that would have done it.
I have actually got that razor, though, and it is good.
Bit mystified as to why the moisturising bars that are on the razor have SPF though - that can't be very effective if it's washed off and it just adds to the high price.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
I think i may of got it because i put a funny reason as to why i should. Something about my legs needing a good shave or something
haha. It's the first i applied for and didn't think i would get it, so i'm looking forward to it
The answer to the main question was on the homepage (i had to go back and check for the right answer lol) Stil, there's bound to be more!
2 INs to report - oops. 1 - Radox sleep easy bubble bath. OH has a bad cold that's been lingering for a week or so now so has taken to baths to help get it out.
2 - reduced dove spray deodrant (hair minimising) Was £1 in boots and my current one stops working after a while so i need to change.
I had 2 vouchers from the machines for these, but my local doesn't have the machines and so apparently i cannot use the vouchers there, only in stores with the machines!! :S It doesn't say anything about it on the vouchers so i'll be sending in a complaint =/0 -
Todays UU include:
25 . Cotton wool pads WBA and will have to shortly as i thought there was another in the stash but cannot find it so must have used it already.
26. Ginvera marvel gel mini WBA but have another from a LIB box. I know its probably just a gimmick but it feels like it gets my skin really clean.No more buying toiletries0 -
UU - Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser Dry/Sensitive, 50ml - WBA if I could get it at a good price, I think it's a good winter moisturiser, might be a bit heavy for summer.Decluttering 2015: 2162/20150
