No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in April

dolly84

When I turned the tv on last night to watch The Hoarder Next Door I caught the end of Superscrimpers and they were showing a clip of next week with a lady who can't stop buying makeup, I have to watch that and see what ideas they come up with for her.

ooh i love the hoarder next door, it always makes me want to have a tidy round! I think I'll defo have to watch that superscrimpers as I've not been very good at all this month!

OUT
Estee Lauder double wear mascara - WMBA - really liked this, but have no need to buy mascara for a good while.

natural collection vanilla body spray - HG! Have a few hoarded from boots 75% off, but when these are used up I will be buying again!

IN
YSL foundation sample - I already have the full size of this, but I find these mini sizes really handy for putting my make up on the bus in the morning - anything for an extra ten minutes in bed!

YSl serum sachets x4 - lovely YSL lady gave me these as well

Natural Collection lipstick in Cranberry - I had a 100 points if buying a lipstick voucher in Boots, so bought this for £1.99, but paid for on gift card, so no 'real' money spent!

Philosophy Vanilla Birthday Cake shower gel and lip shine - I missed all the sales on philosophy and have wanted to try their stuff for ages, so when I saw that someone had returned this (it was the lone one on the shelf) I pounced! Still feel really bad about buying this, as I really did not need this at all, I just wanted it very badly! This was £9 and used a gift card.

Aromatherapy Associates rose face mask - This was free with red magazine, which cost £4. Haven't even read the magazine, usually they're mostly ads and it really annoys me! Haven't used this yet, but I have really dry skin at the moment, so hopefully it may help!

So that's it! Hopefully i will have some more UU's by the end of the month, but I'm not sure! It's not been a good month at all, and have spent a lot in general - I bought 2 bags (zatchels sale), and a dress, along with all of the toiletries, make up this month, and we've have had to get a lock replaced, so it's been a really expensive month! Genuinely thinking I should try one of those 100 days spending bans!

hope everyone's well!

I used Ch 4 + 1 so that I could have my fix of Paul Hollywood on BBC 2, Superscrimpers and The Hoarder Next Door without missing anything. I also saw the make-up collection ... scary. We've never seen toiletries hoarded on Hoarder as far as I know, but logic dictates that they probably were. Two lovely stories last night, and both extraordinarily moving.
The beauty of the London townhouse once it was de-hoarded made me gasp, it was absolutely gorgeous, furniture and decor to die for.
Back on topic - a UU. The gorgeous conditioner I was sent to trial from Ipsos last year - the shampoo has 1-2 uses left. I wish I knew what this was. I'd buy, eventually. I've spun it out a bit by using others but decided that the bottles had to go. The top is square and impossible to remove. I don't fancy hacking it with knife or scissors so I won't do as I do for lotions and cut it open.
I have the excellent Andrew Collinge conditioners that I bought from £land to use next, with some Elvive shampoo and a Lush Seanik bar to be used on the shampoo front. Elvive have some lovely new variants but I must stay strong.. I really don't need them.

A completely unncessary but wanted it in

Debs had the Elemis Dutchess of Spa set reduced to £33, I love the frangipani oil which is in the set, normally £31 retail (altho regularly on offer I grant you) so £2 ish for 3 other nice products to try

Been laid up for a couple of days with a horrid tummy upset, better today, but still feel I should not eat! Have lost 5lbs, so must be towards the lower end of my goal weight, of course it will return when I eat normally, as I'm not overweight to begin with.

Showered, lotioned, blow dryed and dresses as as to go out and collect my friends' Westie who is coming to stay B&B for a couple of weeks, while they toast themselves in Cape Verde (not at all envious, as whilst a little warmth would be lovely, I cannot take hot!

Anyway back on topic UU Avon Whipped Body Cream 200ml. Very nice, but I don't see anyone from Avon nowadays. Looked out a Lush Coco Lotion to follow it, but it is starting to seperate out, smells OK so must crack on and use it up, otherwise had better get cracking an clean all my shoes and bags with it instead.

Sun shining, hope you all having a good day.:D

Josslette

One UU to report today

Nip + Fab Body Lotion - This was nice enough, absorbed nice and quickly, not the most moisturising lotion ever but smelt really nice. WBA if it was on a good offer!

Maddiemay - hope you are fully recovered soon.

Have a uu

Original Source Cranberry & Cassis shower shot - WNBA, this was DH's shower gel but I had to finish it off as he didn't like it and now I know why. Initially it smelt really fruity and quite like blackcurrant juice but as it started to lather it smelt of tobacco - not the fragrance I was going for. He has replaced it with an Imperial Leather Ocean Fresh which smells very nice.
