No Buying Unneccecary Toiletries in May 2013

CookieMonsta

UU: Vaseline Hand Cream 75ml - WBA, has already been replaced with the same!

IN: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Cuticle Pen. First time trying this out. I have used Nails Inc oil pens in the past and found them very good. Then I thought I'd save money and buy a 99p fake OPI one off ebay which was rubbish. Fingers crossed the Sally Hansen one works well!

Evening ladies,

Hugs to evilsquid, I'm sorry you are going through such a difficult time, stay strong, xo

My last uu's of the month -
Philosophy candy cane shower gel, this was pleasant enough to use but I am glad I didn't pay full price as it's really not that special

Elemis pcmc cream - , I know that this is a favorite of some of you lovely ladies and it does have a very nice texture but it does nothing for my skin, wnba

Happy pampering, xo

I've fallen off the wagon a bit this month as I bought some new make up and smellies in prep for my wedding.
Back on the wagon for June though- see you all there.

Two UUs:
Creme of Nature Sunflower and Coconut detangling shampoo: WIBA? No, I felt that my hair was not cleaned properly after use and it left a sticky residue on my scalp.

Boss Nuit for Femme sample; WIB? Yes, pleasant fragrance on my list of purchases after I have used up my stash.


Took advantage of the free delivery and half price offers on Superdrug to re-stock some items which will finish soon.

INS:
2 x Loreal Men Expert deodorants (for my brothers)
2 x Dove original deodorant
Nivea daily Essentials Eye Make up remover
2 x Superdrug baby oil (to clean up the mess after my waxing sessions!)

Hi everyone,

I gave away 11 nail polishes today to people at work. So that's 11 outs!

Got the nail polish stash down to 2 cake tins full!

In Nivea lip butter, I have had sore lips after a reaction to a No7 lipgloss. I have tried carmex, lanolips, bodyshop lip butter, Vaseline so this was a bit of a panic buy. But after just a day they do feel better, it's texture reminds me of Fig & Rouge (without the minging Geranium) so fingers crossed!

If anyone has any other recommendations for a good lip balm then please let me know.

I have added up all my ins and outs for the month, and am pleased to have 2 outs for every in! I will hope to keep up the good work next month too, and will probably have a couple of use ups over the weekend.

I'm down to my last application of Health Aid vitamin A cream, so I will declare it as a UU. I like the smell of this, but I bought it for a skin complaint, and it didn't do the job, so I've just used it up as a hand and foot cream. Now I need to figure out what else to use as a hand cream...

Welcome louise.ginge - sounds like you are in the right place. Good luck and enjoy using up those products.

Evilsquid - just catching up. Sorry to read all that has happened. Hope things are getting better for you.

Rosemary - good to hear your foot is now on the mend.

I have a UU. B**ts P & P face serum. WBA as I really like this and feel it does make a difference. I now have a Olay wake up wonder thingy to try.

Evening all,

I have one more UU to report, my last for the month I would think.

Avon Anew microdermabrasion scrub - WNBA, this was an alright face scrub but it is really expensive, it must have been on a good offer! I have an Alpha H micro cleanse open already so I will go back to this now.

I think I have had 5 UU and 4 ins for the month so just winning by a thread

Evening all.

My last few UUs for the month:

86: Wella Brilliance Shampoo 250ml - WNBA, was ok but nothing special.

87: Nivea Daily Essentials Eye make up remover 125ml - WBA and already have! I always buy whatever is on offer with eye make up remover.

89: Elle Macpherson Replenishing Hand Cream 50ml - WMBA, this has been lingering in the stash for ages and think it had gone off a bit. Think someone else on here said the same happened to them, it was all 'bitty' and didn't rub in very well.

I have the same dilemma! I have now pretty much UU all of my hand creams. Was thinking about using foot cream as hand cream instead?! :rotfl: Do people think this would be alright?

1 IN:

41:Nivea Daily Essentials Eye make up remover 125ml

Replacing the UU. See you all in June!
