No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in March

sunshineyday

Good evening ladies,
Hope you are well

I have some uu's Timotei Pure shampoo, I hated this as a shampoo, it left my hair greasy and lank, so it was repurposed as a hand wash, WNBA

Also uu Umberto Giannini hair mousse, this gives good volume and doesn't leave my hair feeling sticky, have another one in the stash

Happy pampering, xo

Desperately trying to use up my Sugar Crush shower gel from Soap & Glory, smells like lemon cheesecake made with plastic

Yeah, my first two official UU since joining your board.
First was Clinique 7 day scrub, WNBA as I have found that the Clinique 3 step program has been quite drying on my skin. Well I'm now on to a sample size Lancôme face wash. My whole facial routine at the moment involves using up lots of random left overs and trial sizes.
I have a few ins as I had a free skin consultation with L'Occataine. Oops
My second UU was a 15ml perfume of Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker, WBA as I do like it but have so many other perfumes to get through. What to do now with the matching body lotion!

Not too bad for the beginning of March.

I smelt this in Boots the other day, I wasn't too impressed either!

Oh my word I am so glad to have found this thread! :j

New year resolution was to use up what I have, I spend far too much money in Boots!

Not done a count up but doing okay so far!

Currently using baby lotion (given to me when my now 3 year old was born - didn't suit her skin) as cleanser and eye make up remover. Makes my skin feel good. I might never go back! Also another baby lotion from the same time as body lotion but this is lavender scented (supposed to make baby sleep). Very light as a body lotion but pleasant enough.

I'm already excited about the thought of actually being able to see my dressing table again!!

Hee, hee, yes sometimes, we have a very large deep bath here, which takes masses of hot water, (not very MSE) we both usually shower, but I was achey so treated myself to an "extra" bath, seemed a shame to let all that nice hot water waste, don't think either of us would share the water if we had sweaty physical jobs LOL, I draw the line at sharing a bath these days, prefer to stretch out and wallow on my own!! (Old and not very romantic:()

What I wouldn't give for one of those huge hot tubs we have when we stay in villas in the US. Couldn't bring myself to have a hot tub in the garden though I know of someone on our street who has. x

No more INS or OUTs today although I think my Decleor mask has gone to the sorting office.

Have repainted my nails and am now wearing OPI Manicurist of Seville.

I was going through my stash last night and horrorfied to discover I have 5 of the S&G tins from 2011 Christmas with the hand food, scrub and apron in them :eek: they take up so much room.
So going to give 1 to a friend whose birthday it was last week, another to a another friend whose birthday is next week and another as a gift to a friend I'm meeting at the end of the month. I am well and truly over S&G. I did buy them in the 75% off sale, so the 5 only cost £20 but despite this would rather have the £20 - they take up so much room. and I keep going on about the hand cream going off so they need to go asap

I also discovered a Sanctuary overnight bag set that I bought in the same sale and 2 Champaney spa sets. 1 has been given to BF to give for Mother's Day on Sunday :T
I also have another Champaney set from this year's Boots sale as well and so many other new expensive items. I really do need to do a stock take and try and rotate products. I haven't bought anything for ages and am trying hard but when I look at what I already have to use I get quite annoyed at myself and how much I have spent. :mad:

6 TA - BB cream that had gone off, a green eyeliner and a No7 eyeshadow that I've had for too long for it to possibly still be healthy!

Foot cream sample that had gone off.

Elizabeth Arden Gel eyeliner - WBA as it's a cheaper alternative of the Bobbi brown gel eyeliner, but I had lost the lid and dried out so needed to be thrown.
And a cheap eye brush I'd got free with a pallette.

and 4 GA to mum (make up items)

5 UUs
UU - Colgate MaxWhite toothpaste - WMBA - quite liked this, but would only buy if on offer
UU - 10ml Clarins Wake up booster - I really like this, but I think it's v expensive for what it is. WMBA.
UU - TBS chhek and lip tint - WNBA. Much prefer Benetint, even if it is more expensive.
UU - S and G flirtigo - WMBA - I love the scent of this, but don't find it very moisturising. It's nice for Summer though. Have another full size, and 2 minis to get through so won't be needing to repurchase for a long time anyway!
UU - Avon mirror shine spray - WMBA. Quite like this, only a tiny bit needed though so it lasts forever. Have another to use up so can see if I'll repurchase after that.

I was worried that it was just me who still had last years Boots gifts stashed around my room! Have spent all day trying to work out how I've ended up with so much stuff! The hand food stuff does go off really quickly, I'd try and get rid of them as fast as possible!
