No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in Feb

luce181

I'm in again, only managed one UU last month but I did join towards the end of the month

I also have a few INs:
Benefit Lemon Aid
Essie Good to go top coat
(both bought with boots points, as recommended by lovely people on this thread )
L'Occitane Hand Cream freebie... will prob go into the present stash!

Have a few things which are spluttering so fingers crossed for a few use ups soon!

Maddie - thats WONDERFUL !!!!


Rosemary, Im on my way lovely - I adore Meringue, dont care if its eton mess or pavlova or what - just LOVE it !! (and I'll sort out DH for you too while Im over )

No ins, no UU, need to get my spring swap stuff sorted out and posted, but I know what Im sending so thats ok. Did almost buy the Bare Minerals set thats on the grabbit board yesterday, but I got to the payment page and thought "what the f am I doing - Ive never used this stuff, I love Benefit and ive no idea if I will get on with this (though that saving was almost worth trying!) plus - where do you go to use it???!!!)

so no ins.
Grape is off to stud next Saturday - will miss her loads.

Welcome newbies

6) TA - Body Shop Strawberry Body Lotion - WNBA. Came as part of a set. I tried to use it up, but the synthetic strawberry smell was starting to make me feel sick so it had to go.
7) GA - Burt's Bees Milk & Honey Body Lotion - I got this in the BB goody bag last year. I again can't stand the smell so I am giving it away.

I do too, but I must stop buying!

BTW my number in my sig/original post may go up as I'm still doing my inventory and there are a few things I need to add (but are not new purchases)



Here's a list of companies and whether they test on animals, and if they do, why. P&G do say they meet all the regulations for humane treatment of the animals, hopefully that's true, HTH.

http://nottested.co.uk

I understand that the detail is in the wording and can often be misleading, it is pretty complicated.

Here are two more sites that give information for companies that Do not test or use ingredients that have been tested since an agreed cut off date, the one seems to be mainly for US companies.
http://www.mediapeta.com/peta/PDF/companiesdonttest.pdf
http://www.leapingbunny.org/images/cciclist.pdf

This is from the Peta website re: Proctor and Gamble and others
A handful of companies – such as Procter & Gamble and Unilever – admit that they test on animals, but most of the others either dodge the issue with fancy wording or just won't say. Beware of claims like "this product is not tested on animals", which can hide the fact that ingredients are tested on animals, or "this company does not test on animals", which may mean the company contracts out its testing to other companies.

There are too many companies making cosmetics, toiletries and household products to keep track of each one's involvement in animal testing, but unless a company has a policy in place about the ingredients it uses, it is very likely that the ingredients it buys will have been tested on animals. That's why it's so important that caring consumers use their purchasing power to support companies that have strong, progressive policies which stop animal testing now and which will continue to prevent it in the future. PETA approval tells you which companies those are.

New companies are added to the cruelty-free list all the time. Some brand-new companies or very small ones may have good policies, but they might not be approved by the HCS or HHPS yet. Not every company which isn't approved by PETA will do animal testing or buy animal-tested ingredients – but only those listed here are guaranteed to be 100 per cent cruelty-free.

Not wanting to make your eyes glaze over, but any company that exports to China is aware that is law that all cosmetic products must be tested on animals, so even if they carry out NO testing themselves they are agreeing that it will be done in China, I am not aware who will finance this.

It's all quite confusing, I have read a lot of the Peta.org but as you say they are 99.9% the US branches of the companies, I am satisfied that most companies will only undertake it as a requirement of law, until those laws change there's not a lot they can do

To keep on topic, I start February with 6 IN's, my Elemis belated chrissie present has arrived.

Rosemary - I hope you have rescued the merinue, such a pain about the brulee, particularly when it has worked before, hope the dinner party goes well.

Wonderful news maddie!

I have a voucher for L'Occitaine hand cream which I will pop into town tomorrow and pick it up. It is a great size for my holiday.

I didn't get the bzz sure deo campaign, instead I got vanish stain remover and dylon colour catcher. I know what I would have prefered .

Planning to go to the cinema whilst in town, to see Pitch Perfect. I have been wanting to see it for a bit but couldn't find anyone who would go with me, so I am going it alone.
