No Buying Unneccecary Toiletries in May 2013

dolly84

Morning all and what a beautiful morning it is and a bank holiday - wonders will never cease.

Have a uu

Liz Earle Deep Cleansing Mask - WBA and will be doing as soon as my mask stash is under control, this did seem to help with the congestion I suffer around my temples and top of cheekbones. For now I am going back to No7 Sauna Mask but this seems to have lost the sauna effect so I may give up on this and chuck it out.

Have a lovely day all.

uu Prada l'eau ambree - one of my favourite fragrances, have another bottle in the stash, this brings the perfume stash down to 42 bottles :eek:, which is insane. I can't wear perfume to work due to the nature of my job so it will be a while before I get this down to any reasonable level (I may get ruthless and do a cull if I'm ever feeling brave enough!). Off to stash shop now for my next bottle

happy pampering, xo

Morning all,

A couple more UUs so far today, not so pleased to be reporting the first two as they're my faves and I will be replacing them with lesser loved equivalents to get through my stash:

Ralph Lauren Romance EDP 50ml - WDBA, HG

Elemis PCMC 30ml - WDBA, this was my first try and I'm now a convert

Sanctuary Body Wash 250ml - WBA but lots more body wash to get through first!

I suddenly have quite a few splutterers of full sized products so hoping to have more UUs to report in the next few days.

Now I'm off to make the most of this lovely sunny weather

Morning all,

I've been a little MIA, but have lurked a little. I've recently started a small etsy business selling jewellery and have been spending a lot of time putting items together for sale. I think I've replaced one addiction with another!

I have a number of UUs, and have cheated by using up some of my sachets to get things moving.

L'Occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream 10ml
L'Occitane divine cream 1ml x 2
Olay gentle cleanser conditioning mill 200ml
L'Occitane 25% Shea butter ultra rich body cream 6ml

I love the cherry blossom hand cream and have a 30ml handbag size in the stash, but first I need to use up the crabtree and evelyn handcreams I have. I like the divine cream, it's a little rich for me, but I'm using it twice a week as a night cream to supplement the cheaper face creams I'm trying to use up. The shea body cream surprised me, I really liked the smell and was impressed how quickly this sank in, it's going on the 'to buy list'.

As for the olay gentle cleanser, well I am glad to see the back of this. It just did nothing for me. I dislike using cotton wool as it seems to wasteful, so had repurposed this as a first cleanse with a hot cloth. It's brought me out in eczema patches occasionally, has little to no smell and hasn't done a great job in removing makeup. I am never going back from hot cloth cleansers!!

Today officially marks 25 days of no toiletries purchases. I have bought a new razor but that was desperately needed, and it's been mildly cheaty with the freebies I have had come through, but freebies don't count in my world :rotfl: So far it's been relatively easy, because I have everything I need and want at the moment. I have done a lot of window shopping, particularly in john lewis, l'occitane and body shop, but there's nothing I've been desperate to get. I'm quite happy to wait and may have a tiny splurge around my birthday, once the 100 days are over.

Hope everyone is out enjoying their bank holiday monday :A

Hope everyone is enjoying the gorgeous bank holiday weather:)

I have 2 UU to report, one from last night one this morning

Body Shop Natrulift firming night cream 15ml pot - WBA
This was part of a travel set I bought to take on holiday at Xmas and I love all the products in the range. It's been rebranded as Pomegranate but seems hard to get hold of, online is OOS and the store didn't have any on Friday but hope to have some this week.In the meantime I shall use up some night cream sachets and samples.

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration shampoo 200ml - WBA
Have bought and used this many times as it is a good moisturing shampoo that smells lush and lathers well. Leaves my hair feeling soft and helps with the dryness. Affordable too and often on offer.

Indoors having a short break from gardening in the sun, would you believe it is really HOT!!!!

First UU -Mitchum stick anti-perspirant. WBA have 1 in stock and 2 Sure roll-ons, plus a part used Sanex from my weekend bag, before I buy any more.

Off now to see my much help with lunch OH can be one handed!

Happy bank holiday everyone.

Another UU at Mitchum 48 hr deoderant stick. WBA as I love this one but only stock up when it's on deal. Still £3.. Something will wait till 2 for 4 deal so have bought a Nivea stick the over day at £1.25 in the mean time....

UU

a sachet of Bio oil - WNBA there are other oils that do a similar job. Used when pregnant and still got tiger stripes!

Moshi Monsters mouthwash - WBA DD isnt fussy with mouthwash as long as its not to strong and has a picture on the front.

Have painted my nails Layla ceramic galaxy (a vibrant green) will probably UU the rest of the polish remover taking it off later ready for work.

Have a great day ladies.

Hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday.

I have just come back from a lovely weekend but am now feeling fed up as I have to work on a presentation for tomorrow. I should have done it before I went away. Booo.

2 UU:

70: Wella Brilliance Conditioner 150ml - ok probably WNBA, plenty of other cheaper conditioners that do the same job.

71: TBS Coconut Shower Cream 60ml - WMBA, I do love TBS shower gels/creams but prefer the gels as these lather up more.

I love the L'occitane ultra rich body cream too but the price :eek:, I don't have dry skin so can't justify spending that much.

I have painted my nails in Essie Angora Cardi which I love and toes are in OPI Every Month is Oktoberfest but the sparkle is a bit lost all the way down there.
