No More Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in July 2013

luvlycake

Forgot to add the UUs

17 - Dove damage therapy shampoo - lovely, WBA
18 - Kerastase cristaliste conditioner sample - lovely. Would buy, though I suspect it would be expensive, so maybe not. *helpful*
19 - L'Occitane radiance conditioner - lovely, would buy again on offer, though I do prefer others of theirs.

Ooh, can someone point me in the right direction for the swap page?

I have sinned a little bit, although not very expensively:

I bought a 100ml bottle of Eau Roma toner from Lush for when I go on holiday, 'cause I can only take hand luggage. I don't mind decanting my cleanser, but wanted to have a little spray bottle to keep me cool!

I also bought quite a few magazines for holiday, so have the Balance Me body wash and face cream from Glamour, the Eyeko eyeliner from Marie Claire, and the Nip +Fab Dry Leg Fix (presumably moisturiser) from Cosmopolitan. Hopefully in over the next week will be the Rituals mascara from Instyle and the REN set from Red Not feeling too guilty, as with the exception of the second copy of Glamour, I would have bought the mags anyway.

Does anyone know how quickly a skincare product can break you out? I started using old GWP minis of No7 cleanser and toner at my boyfriend's house, and woke up with a spot on my forehead - and I never get spots!

A NBI .
A sample La Roche Posay moisturiser - SPF 15 - just 5ml, from What's In My Handbag.
NBI 2. A 50ml L'Oreal Wrinkle De-Crease Collagen Skin Re-modeller Re-defining Day Cream. Spf 15. Passed on by a friend who doesn't really moisturise (!) who was given it.
NBI 3. From same pal, a 60ml BS Moringa Shower Gel. Nice SG for summer.
I had a phone call to say Easy Living Magazine had stopped publication - I subscribed - what magazine would I like to take out instead? Actually, I wouldn't. Please give me my money back.

Returned from France on Friday night (residential with school) and slept 15 hours. I finally feel human again. I took lots of things with me to use up but failed miserably as I really did not have the time to use them.

UU's
Vichy water spray WNBA unless on offer, great size to carry round in the hot weather
Sachet of body moisturiser WNBA

I have a few splutterers so should have some more to declare soon. I am going to list a few things on ebay that I am not going to use.

IN's
2 sachets of face moistiser by Vichy
Nip fab stuff for legs out of magazine
Sachet of shampoo from magazine
Sample of serum from what is in my handbag
Sachet of hair stuff, again a freebie

I have made a few orders in the last couple of days ( goes and sits in the naughty corner). I have my work cut out if I am to use more than I have coming in this month.

Hi All,

A few IN and UU from the tail end of last week and over the weekend, had a little flurry of UU which was nice!

IN were Vichy Youth Serum & Eyes and Lashes Serum - wasn't expecting these sachets through the post as had my first lot a few weeks back? :huh:

L'Oreal Preference conditioner - came with my hair dye so incidental

Final IN was Tesco cleansing facial wipes, went away at the weekend and these were convenient as I also end up cleaning shoes, wiping hands with them etc!

First of the UU is VO5 Gloss Me Smoothly conditioner - WBA

Also L'Oreal Everpure Shampoo - again, WBA

Balance Me Super Toning Body Wash - WBA, really liked the smell and how soft it left my skin, might try and pick another up if there are still some copies of Glamour floating about with it on. The 100ml size is also handy to take away.

Elemis Apricot Toner - WNBA - nothing at all special and if I'm honest I don't tend to use toner, not sure if that's a major no no skincare wise but there it is!

The Vichy Youth Serums were a TA after one use and then a GA as a result for the second sachet. Reason being that I used it after my moisturiser and it balled on application and was even worse when I tried to put foundation on. Flakey is not a good look! Suffice to say WNBA - life it soo short to put up with balling!! :rotfl:

Finally Elemis Illuminating Flash Balm - WBA - got another 3 or 4 in the stash (15ml freebie size) - love the smell and effect it has on my skin

Life is hectic at the moment, hope everyone is ok, been just about managing to keep read up on the thread but posting has been neglected.

While I remember, has anyone been in touch with VALM lately? I've not seen her on the last couple of threads and she is a long time poster like myself, hope she's ok

UU

Sure max protection cream deo - HG have replacements already in my stash as I stockpile when its on offer.

Johnsons baby bedtime cream - a stash relic from when my daughter was small (she is now nearly 8!) This was OK to use but I dont think I would buy again. Is any one else struggling to use body moisturisers in the warm weather?

getting-there-slowly

garnier rose cleanser
garnier rose toner
dead sea minerals day
dead sea minerals eye
dead sea minerals night
clarins melt cleanser
clarins foot cream
garnier summer body
body spray boots vanilla
2 conditioner from hair dye
clarins hand cream
moringea body butter
dark chocolate face pack


List tidy up - UUs for this month so far (not really expecting many more)

rosemary54 that's a shame - you can always contact eBay and argue your case, if you have the email evidence that it was the buyer who mixed you up and not your fault, I don't see why they wouldn't remove it!

I've left neutral and negative feedback once before when items were not as described and I had to spend extra money fixing them (both times the sellers sent me a hurl of abuse) Some people do just get a bee in their bonnet and leave negative feedback about everything though, and it's worth looking at their account history to see if it's a common theme. If it is, you will have no problem getting it removed!

already done that,they were not very helpful,just saying I would eventually get back to 100% and did not care she had mixed me up with another woman(who I contacted about it and told me she had blocked the neg woman)and that I could prove I had put enough postage on as still had the proof of posting....seller beware!!!

Hi all. It is chucking it down here today and my children break up for the holidays, there is nothing more depressing than starting the 6 week holidays in the rain.

Have a uu

150ml pot of Philip Kingsley Elasticizer - WBA, I really love this but don't need to purchase as I already have a 1000ml bottle in the stash and numerous other intensive hair mask type products.

Have some ins

Balance me Cleansing balm - 15ml tube - have been trying it out and it is lovely.

Elemis Pro Radiance Cream Cleanser - 30ml

Latest in Beauty CEW Box - I bought one of these a while back and got the Dr Organic Argan Oil and an eye liner, this time I got the Coconut body melt and a mascara as well as the other items. I had some paypal money from surveys so used this to pay.
