No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in Feb

  • Thanks for the new thread.

    The outs.

    UU.
    1. Alpha H microcleanse mini - WBA as I think this brightens my skin but I have a few more left to use.
    2. Stella perfumed body milk 75ml - a pink candle I had been saving this for nights out which in reality with a 7 year old are few and far between. I noticed the other day that the bottle had miscoloured and I wanted to use it before it went off for good. WBA (but have a few more unopened pink candles still burning).

    Sold/GA/TA
    5 products in ebay sales
    (there are more but will declare these once they have been paid for)

    and now the ins

    6 polishes from the nails inc 6 for £15 offer
    Nails inc runway collection (this fell into my basket when I was buying the above offer - 6 nail varnishes and a top coat in the kit)

    Clarins gentle exfoliant - I had been using it once a week as suggested by clarins but didnt really think much of it but after reading beautymouth saying she uses it like toner I have been doing the same and noticed some improvement to my skin so needed to replace (to be fair not immediately)
    Clarins everlasting foundation - I originally wanted to try this one when I bought the extra firming last week but debenhams was out of stock.
    Clarins everlasting compact foundation - I like to use a powder with foundation so thought I would give this a try - when my skin imroves i may use this one alone.

    With these purchases came 6 large samples and 3 mini samples

    So not a great start - off to the the naughty step.
    No more buying toiletries
  • one UU a small S&G hand food - WNBA as too many reports of it going off quick plus I have a full size tube from the big boots bag. It does smell nice and sink in quick but isn't for really intense moisturising.

    Hi again. The Spackle has gone has predicted. I've also thrown away my body puff and replaced this as I had a pack of four of them in my stash.

    I have made a purchase at Sainsbury's despite saying I wouldn't go down the toiletries aisle but it's in the form of hair colorant - Sublime Mousse 2 for £10.00 - a necessity as my roots are looking bad.
    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!

    Hi all. Can I please join.

    I think I will need to replace the shampoo this month.
    I will need to replace my mascara but I have a plan. I'm going to buy blinc so that will mean I don't need to buy eye make-up remover ;)
    Oh, and I need deodorant. Still, only when the others have ran out :)

    Thank you! Ah blinc http://www.blincuk.co.uk/ They do mascara that rubs off with just water. Their selling point is that it doesn't rub off by touch, nor by water or oil. It comes off only by rubbing gently and with water.

    Be warned though, it's really fine and won't give you boost lashes. For this auld 30something, it does the trick though :)
  • Good afternoon everyone.

    Maddiemay - fantastic news about your brother - I am so pleased for you.

    I have managed to clock up my first UUs of February but also have some INs to declare:

    S&G handfood - WNBA - am gradually whittling down S&G from my stash - I don't mind the handcream but it is not as good as my HG - L'Occ. I have been lucky as I have had several tubes of hand food and none of them have gone off - I have another couple in the stash to UU but am using L'Occ at the moment.

    Gielly Green shampoo - WBA - got this in last months Amarya box and really like it - my hair seems to love it and the smell is really nice. When I have got the hair stash under control this will definately be on my 'to buy' list.

    Now for the INs - these were a belated Christmas present from a friend who I haven't seen since before Christmas. Can't wait to try them as they smell divine:

    Molton Brown
    Paradisiac pink pepperpod bath and shower 300ml
    Paradisiac pink pepperpod body exfoliator 250ml
