Comments

Ive been using the Visapure for the last week from a Come Round Party offer its really good, been using it twice a day and my skin is looking much better even with lots of sunbathing.Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
Evening
IN's
5 items from a forum
Tigi hair conditioner
Another hair conditioner
Hair mask all from tkmax
UU's
2 cinders bath ballistic WBA? but they just sank to the bottom of the bath very little fix and they have been stored in a zip lock bag in a cool dark place. I have stopped buying lush bath ballistics as too many fail.
Seanik shampoo puck WNBA my scalp does not like them, I itch something crazy after using them.
Sachet of shampoo WNBA
Radial snake serum sachet WNBA I like the product but not the price
Dirty shaving cream WNBA it clogs up the razor, cheap conditions works much better.
Sainsbury's coconut hair conditioner WBA? Very cheap, bunny friendly and I think it was just over £1 for a litre bottle but it does not do enough for my hair.
Dirty toothy tabs WNBA not nice.0 -
I haven't really been using much this month due to feeling so horrid post op, so here goes:
UU:
Nivea Happy Time Shower Cream. Orange Blossom scent. 500 odd mls. Used as handwash. I've discovered that I like clear gels in the shower. Didn't really smell orangey enough for me. So, would never really buy again.
Balea sensitive facial wipes. 25 count. Meh. Does the job but the wipes are harsh. Using up my stash I've learnt one thing, wipes made in North America aren't as soft on the skin as any made in the EU. The fibres are different. If I got these in a gift bag I'd use, but won't go out of my way to find them again.
Clinique GWP size Youth Surge. 15ml. Has spf15, so good. Towards the end it was getting a bit heavy for summer. Have many more gwp moisturizers to use up before I have to invest in one.
There were a couple of ins from my TopBox but I can't remember what they are and I can't find the tube. So lesson there is don't open parcels when on pain meds.
GlossyBox folded in Canada and left a lot of very unhappy women in their wake.
Hope the weather holds because it is sunny here!0 -
Probably my last UU for the month - schwarzkopf supersoft conditioner. WMBA it was quite heavy, but it's sulfate free and only £1 normally. I couldn't use it for quite a while as my sulfate free shampoos were very greasy, and mixed with this heavy conditioner, it was a nightmare so I did use it as shaving lather to help me get through it.0

INs:
33-44. John Frieda hair mask sachets - freebies, my OH stocked up when he went to Mr Ts last night - lovely of him, but not doing my stash any favours :eek:
45. Gillette shave gel 75ml - needed for my trips this weekend and next week as taking hand luggage only
TA
2. Vaseline hand cream 75ml - gone off.
I'm expecting a flurry of UUs over the next week due to weekend away and lots of splutterers, however I think the combination of JF mask freebies and Boots No7 glitch at the start of this month have well and truly scuppered any chances I may have had of reducing my stash this month!MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -
Oh, I knew I forgot something! Used up a Lush Volcano foot mask after work last night - would probably not buy again, 'cause I think it's quite expensive for what it is, but it was a present in the first place, and I'd happily use it againNo Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January!UU: 5, IN: 2Total Stash: 99 - ultimate target 33 (year start 99)0

Uh-oh, 3 unplanned ins!
Found a little market while hanging out with my best friend yesterday, and bought three little bars of soap - one Parma Violet, one scented (to my nose) like CK One summer and one which might well be a close-ish replacement for my beloved, discontinued Ice Blue...
And a planned in in advance for this afternoon, my foundation has run out so I need to rebuy - Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum, the best I've ever used! No negatives at all!No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January!UU: 5, IN: 2Total Stash: 99 - ultimate target 33 (year start 99)0 -
Okay, so while I'm here, stash at boyfriend's house:
REN Moroccan Rose Body cream 50ml
Feelgood Formulas Bergamot and Ginger Shower Gel 30ml
Contact liquid 250ml
Lush From Dusk til Dawn massage bar
Lush Each Peach massage bar (nearly finished)
Soft and Gentle deo, lotus and watermelon
Lush Christmas Eve bubble bar (1/4)
Johnson's baby powder 200g
Nivea Pure and Natural night cream 50ml
All of this is in use and will just be replaced from my main stash, rather than bought for specifically. I've chucked out two ancient No7 minis, Soft and Soothed cleanser and toner, as I'm fairly certain they made me break out and they're definitely at least 7 years old! ::eek:No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January!UU: 5, IN: 2Total Stash: 99 - ultimate target 33 (year start 99)0
