No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2013

  • Two small UUs:

    Heliocare SPF50 sunscreen gel

    Superdrug Nourishing Nail polish remover with Vitamin A & E: WIBA? Maybe, gentler on nails but I find I go through a lot more cotton wool pads as it takes more effort to remove darker nailer polishes. It also has a very strong acetone type smell even though it's supposed to be acetone free.

    Hey all, been away for a few days as I have been to Reading Festival which was amazing!! Just caught up with the thread :)

    I have some UU but I will update tomorrow as too tired to do it!

    I am just about to use one of my face mask sachets. Normally I dont do these on a weekday as the skin on my face can be quite sensitive and I dont want to risk doing one and having a red face for work but I have the rest of this week off so I dont need to worry about that!

    Forgot 2 post yesterday that I had another UU - Clinique eye cream. Was the gel one that was free with Glamour ages ago. Has been sitting beside the basin 4 ages. Must make an effort 2 use eye cream at night as I thin I have a few in my stash. X
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    off to the USA soon to see DS1,bit worried as going to Yosemite and now state of emergency declared in san Francisco!!!!!(not to mention anniversary of 9/11 and Syrian conflict:eek:

    costing lots more than we thought:(but first time we will see DS1 in his new home of 3 years.hotels so expensive esp downtown SF where they charge $45 a day to park at hotel:mad::mad::mad::mad:and annoying that 17% tax on top of prices.Am hoping make up will be cheaper as looking to replace some Benefit items,still need to pack but unsure of what to take(going to Europe so much easier!!!)

    Hi all.

    Have a uu

    Dove Invisible Dry Roll on - WBA, this was bought on one of the Boots glitches so ended up costing about 30p, it does a reasonable job but doesn't keep me completely dry. Have another in the stash but for now have replaced it with a Mitchum solid stick.

    UU
    24 - A green soap from a handmade person. No idea what the smell was. Avocado maybe?
    25 - Estee Lauder advanced time zone cream - OK, but nothing special. It did have an spf though which I like.
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

  • Lovely weekend away has resulted in 2 UUs

    Herbal essences Bee Strong Strengthening shampoo GWP Sachet - This was really nice, but probably WNB(A) as I really liked the scent after one use, but tend to get sick of them quite quickly

    And Colgaye Sensitive Pro-relief Sample 22ml -WBA is fine and does the job

  • Welcome Jodisue.

    Congratulations Parisian on your graduation.

    UU

    2 x Baby wipes - have made an effort to get rid of the numerous part packs from around the house WBA.

    2 x bath bombs - WMBA if the handmade stall came back to the local market.

    TBS Grapefruit body butter - WBA this is one of my favourite scents.

    Boots cotton wool pads - WBA (but will be searching for the HB version)

    Colgate toothpaste - WNBA (ever) am now on my last tube.

    Dr Organic coconut oil moisture melt - came from LIB probably WNBA (I do have one more left) there was nothing wrong with the product but it wasnt special enough to justify the £9 price tag. It didnt spell much of coconut and the melting in hot water was a bit of a faff, glass bottles and slippery oily hands isnt an ideal combination either.

    7 days Elemis bliss capsules - WMBA am currently on a second sample pack as a week isnt long enough to trial them really. I started using them during a really spotty week and they appear to have settled my skin down - will see if I look 10 years younger next week.

    1 ebay out

    Ins

    2 x moshi monster mouthwash - for DD.

    Have repainted my toes with A england St George to continue the green fetish I have at the moment.
