No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries in June 2013

Evening all. It's the first day of summer, so here goes.
Swapped out a Lancôme gwp size mascara. I liked it and would buy it again if I ever use up the stash of mascaras that appears bottomless.
UU:
Organic Face wash, 236 ml. Nothing special. Replaced with another one from the stash.
Clinique Take off the Day eyemakeup remover 50ml. Finally it's done. Replaced with another gwp sized one from the stash.
Nivea Q10 night cream. Nice during the winter but too heavy for this time of year. I'd buy it again, if they still make it.
Pleasure by EL miniature perfume. One of my standby scents. So it will reappear eventually
Dove Cucumber body spray 50ml. I like it, not heavy, light smelling. Will rebuy eventually.
EL Pink Lip gloss. Tossed, It was the half sized one that they sell at Christmas as part of a set. It just felt "off" if you know what I mean.
Strivectin wrinkle/line reducer. a 7ml sample bottle. Nothing special and I have another one in the stash.
The stash is going down. There is some space developing under the sink.
GlossyBox Canada folded. No notice given. Just no money taken in May and finally in June a "thanks for the ride" type announcement on FaceBook. Not very professional.
Kidney Stone surgery in three weeks. I'm looking forward to that. No honest, I am.0 -

Almost finished my hand creme, don't really want to buy any as I have loads of body butters and lotions, thinking of using one of these as a hand creme but not sure of it would just leave my hands greasy?
Have you any S&G in your stash? I've found that The Daily Smooth and Butter Up both make excellent non greasy hand cream
UU/GA this week are:
Charles Worthington Dream Hair Glossing Shampoo & Conditioner - GA to a friend at work as I've tried this range before and it doesn't suit my unruly hair - did try the shampoo once just in case and a bad hair day ensued!
Aqua Sana Body Wash - More woody/spicy a fragrance than I'd usually go for but felt luxurious and reminded me of a lovely break - WBA
L'Oreal Preference High Shine Conditioner - WBA as comes with my favourite hair dye, more in stash
Wasn't making too bad an effort of trying to catch up with my IN this month when I wandered aimlessly into Boots yesterday.... Always a mistake!! From the clearance shelves, all at 75% off, I got Trevor Sorbie Volume Booster x 3, I love this and I thought I was pretty restrained only getting 3 and not the full 6 that they hadI also got a Champneys Mediterranean Bliss Set and an Olay Anti Wrinkle Kit. Only stashing the hair stuff though, the other two I'll gift to my Mum as its her birthday coming up so not too naughty!

2 UU for me...
Ted Baker Xo Perfume
This was part of a gift set at Christmas - have another in my stash and loads of other perfumes - but a nice scent all the same, so WMBA
Champneys Foot Butter
WBA - this has a nice minty refreshing smell and was soothing after a busy day. But alas I have other foot creams in my stash.Always be yourself, unless you can be a Unicorn - then always be a Unicorn !

Have used up a sachet or L'Oreal Ever Riche shampoo today. Got this free in Glamour, and quite liked it for a sulfate free product - my hair isn't as oily looking as the Naked range seems to leave it, and it feels really soft. I do have a bottle of this in my stash, but am using up the last of my current shampoo before I move on.0
