No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in April
Options
Comments

Not the most successful second month... I lost track of my ins vs outs, so I've just had to dig out all my comments for the month so I can compare. At the start of the month, I said I had 3 definite needs, 2 possible needs, and lots nearing its end, but would be happy with more outs than ins...
Adding it all up I have:
18 INS
10 OUTS
So, not such a great month then :rotfl: Oh well, I'll have nothing else in before the end of this month, and hope to reach the end of a bottle of shower gel tomorrow or Tuesday, but that's it.
Here's to May!0 -
VALM - Well done to Emma on her epic Karate challenge.
I have two uu
Sanctuary Spa hot cloth cleanser - WDBA, this is very thick and creamy with a lovely herbal scent. It is quite lively on the skin and does make mine slightly red in the centre of my face, it settles down quickly but it may not be good for sensitive skin.
Skin Wisdom Day Spa Rose Geranium body lotion - WNBA, this has the most ridiculously short pump which you can hardly get your hand underneath. The cream is nice and sinks in quickly though but I am still glad to see the back of it,Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Tonights UU:
Lush avobath ballistic - WBA loved the smell
Lush Love lettuce face pack - WMBA seems to have left my skin feeling soft.
And yet more ins to confess to:
1 Radox and 1 original source shower gel - these are for DH as hes on his last one.
2 Boots smile 6+ toothpaste - for DD as she is on her last one.
Elvive shampoo and conditioner - these are for DD shes on her last one.
2 Boots cotton pads - only have a half pack left so again these were needed.No more buying toiletries0 -
UU Dove Argan oil shampoo WMBA made my hair nice and soft but my scalp didn't like it.
UU Jo Hansford deep conditioner WNBA I didn't think this did anything more than a normal conditioner.
UU Tresemme split ends sachet shampoo and conditioner
UU palmers sachet cleanser and moisturiser.0 -
Evening everyone,
I have had 2 UU this week and no Ins :j My friend who does Avon is on holiday for a week so I won't have to count my moisturisers as Ins until Maywhich is just as well because April has been very slow on the UU front.
Body Shop Rich Plum body butter - WNBA, this had gone a bit hard so used it up as hand cream, smelled nice enough but wouldn't hunt it out specifically
Lush Sweetie Pie shower jelly - WNBA, loved the smell but the jelly consistency was just annoying, I want all my shower products to come in liquid form preferably in a flip top bottle from now on! I still have several years worth of shower gel to get through before I have to worry about purchasing anything thoughNo more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018

Another UU just in time for month end:
Bentley's organics lemon and grapefruit shower gel - this made me chuckle, because it proclaimed it was 80% organic (is there such a thing?) It had a nice lather for a sulfate free product, lasted well, though I'm still not sure if I liked the smell. WMBA.0 -
Morning
Have another uu, have had a little flurry for the end of the month
Nivea Calm & Care Deodorant spray - WNBA, this smells lovely but is rubbish at keeping me dry even when I haven't been doing anything to work up a sweat. Have replaced it with a Dove Invisible Dry roll on.
Painted my nails in LD Lifes a Beige last night and it looks very sophisticated.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

What I imagine will be the last UU for this month:
Tresemme Hairspray 500ml. WBA as my hair doesn't move once I've used it. There is possibly a hole in the ozone layer above my house though.No buying unnecessary toiletries 2013: Start 112 items 01/01/13
