No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2013

moromir

I had quite a good weekend of outs but...

Treated myself to Vichy Idealist BB cream (sheer but liking) and then found two bottles of shampoo in a cupboard I'd forgotten about

Hi All,

Started the month off with a couple of UU and a couple of IN too - UU are Balance Me face wash and D&G Intense EDP sample - love both of these, would definitely like a bottle of this perfume at some point as the stash has reduced in this area but not quite enough to justify quite yet. The face wash I love the smell of and it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin but its slightly on the pricey side - will probably stick to stocking up when its a magazine freebie as it tends to come around every now and again.

IN are Cussons Pure Moisturising Shea Butter & Honey shower cream - only got the shower gel I'm currently using and a couple of soaps and this seems to be the area I get panicky about unless I have a bit of a stash (I used to be terrible, buying shower gel almost every time I went shopping, mostly as I was oblivious to what I already had!) Smells nice and v cheap. Also, Philip Kingsley Elasticizer from Instyle, my hair has been completely out of control the last few days, not sure if its because I've had it trimmed, the changeable weather or because its due a colour and the last dye I used was totally rubbish! The reviews are brilliant and I know it comes highly recommended here so seemed rude not to! I really can't stand having unruly hair, it does constantly annoy me if its feeling out of sorts

Ok here goes.

I picked up the l'occitane order. Found out tonight that I'm returning my foster dog at the weekend, so I've been quite down and had a little cry about it. I'm going to miss him like crazy.

In an effort to cheer myself up, I've added all my new l'occitane to the stash sheet. It is a lot... I spent £40 and received the following (numbers are ml):

L'occitane 25% shea butter
ultra rich body cream Body lotion 8ml
L'occitane divine cream moisturiser 1
L'occitane fabulous serum moisturiser 1
L'occitane precious cream moisturiser 1
L'occitane precious eye balm Eye treatment/cream 1
L'occitane fabulous serum moisturiser 1
L'occitane verbena edt wipe Perfume 0.3

smoothing milk concentrate Body lotion 8

L'occitane body lotion Body lotion 75
L'occitane verbena body lotion Body lotion 75
L'occitane 15% shea dry skin foot cream Foot treatment/cream 10
L'occitane cherry blossom hand cream Hand treatment/cream 10
L'occitane cherry blossom bath and shower gel Shower and bath gel 250

That also came with free delivery. I basically stacked up the offers: purchased the cherry blossom shower gel and perfume for £27.50, added the away kit for £12.50, for me to £40 free delivery, added the souvenirs from provence web freebie, the tin gift freebie and the hair duo freebie (but because I bought three items they let me request three of the freebie haircare sets, I didn't think theyd authorise it) plus my two samples for having ordered.

A lot of haul for not very much money.

Finished an organic cleanser. Had another in the stash. Nothing special and can't be bothered to go find out who made it!

Used up a John Frieda Root Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner. 250 ml each. Liked it but don't know if they still make it. First time I've ever managed to finish them both at the same time!

Tossed a Doris Dalton mascara. Didn't like the wand. One of those really thin ones. Have another in the stash. Bought from the TV shopping channel as part of a grab bag. Not one of the better products of hers. Moved onto a Cargo almost waterproof mascara. Don't know how that works.

Now onto something that makes me wonder. Who are Charles Worthington and Doris Dalton? I'm too lazy to google!

Hello all!

I just wanted to ask, are people aware that you can add things to your Amazon wishlist from ANY site?

I've been doing it all week, it's a great way to keep a list of things you'd like to buy in the future once you've used up your stash!

eek:D I got caught up in this last month, I couldn't help it as they were almost paying me to take things away. I wonder if there's a glossy and tillspit that can be combined with makeup, otherwise I won't be bothering :cool:

Oh don't talk to me about that! I went mad glitching last time, no more for me!

Oh dear, well I picked up my l'occitane parcel from Royal Mail today. I did some super combining of codes, and so in the grand scheme of things spent very little. I think I shall need to take a pic of the boxes though as its unbelievable!

Oh yes, please do!!!

I have finally done a stash list. I have not included make up, lip balms, oils including essential oils or nail polish.
BS ginger shampoo 400ml
BS ginger shampoo 250ml
BS ginger shampoo 400ml
BS ginger shampoo 400ml in use

That was an amazing stash list Sam! I couldn't help noticing these, I love this shampoo too! It's going onto my 'buy once I've finished everything' list!

Aww sorry to hear about the doggy, but doesn't this mean he's found his new home?

Lovely order there, I went mad with L'Occitane a while ago too.....

Peace has been restored to the Mac household as DD returned to school today.

I had the day off - have spent much of the day sorting items from my stash I plan to ebay.

Will be back to lonely nights on Monday when DH returns to working away during the week - at least there will be no need to endure midweek football.

UU

Sure for men max protection cream deo - WBA my HG (I prefer the scent of the mens version)

TA

Old bath sponge - This was DD favourite but ive finally managed to convine her to ger rid of it.

Have painted my nails with Cadillaquer 9 crimes

moneyless_mac

This mornings UU

Moshi Monster mouthwash - WBA character mouthwash is always a hit with DD.

400ml TBS pink grapefruit shower gel - WBA one of my body shop favourites.

Colgate dental cream - WNBA the toothpaste was OK but only a mild mint flavour but I overdid when it was on offer in HB so have sickened myself and my family of this variety. Hopefully this was the very last one unless I find a rogue tube somewhere strange.

The dog is a family member's dog and I've been looking after him whilst they were in hospital, whilst obviously I'm happy they're out of hospital, he's a gorgeous dog and we're normally a dogless household. I'm going to miss him terribly.

I've gone v mad on the l'occ recently, between free gifts from
Fbook, free gifts at the girls night out events (I went to two within a week, and was called out by the shop assistant who thought it was hilarious. They had wine and chocolates AND toiletries, who could resist?!). When I'm home later ill work out just how much of my stash is now l'occ, I have a feeling it's a quarter or more!

Morning all!

I have two INs from Avon, it would have been more but I'm returning the two bargain bags I ordered as none of it is any good to me this time

Avon Clearskin Black Mineral Mask 75ml
Avon Hydra Radiance Liposome Cream 50ml

I paid just £2.75 for the mask, and if you got stuff of that page you got the cream for £1.99 instead of £10. Not sure when I'll get around to using the cream but for £1.99 I don't care lol!

Also it's not an 'IN' but I picked these up today! :D:D

Ordered them at the shopping event I was 'dragged' to last week, got them for about £20.

You obviously did a good job with the pup then. *cuddle* Will you foster again?

Sounds like a nice haul too.
