No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2013

  • New people with new tempting stash lists are welcome at any time! Be warned, you will start pampering yourself on the excuse of decluttering, and looking around feverishly for the next UU (or is that just me??)

    Nope - I am guilty of this too! :rotfl:

    Welcome Twisted Cherry! :hello:

    Had the most hectic week at work/networking, averaged about 5hrs sleep each night and consequently feel like I need a detox and lots of R&R and pampering! And barely seen OH so he is in a major grump with me and sulking - I can kind of understand this, but the work things were not exactly optional either so I refuse to be apologetic :mad: so think time locked away from him in bathroom pampering might be a good plan!

    Catching up on my UUs from the past few days:

    14. Palmolive Ayurituel Tranquility shower gel 250ml - WMBA, liked the scent, lathered well and cheap.

    15. Aveda Tourmaline Charged Hydrating Creme 7ml - nice and rich but I didn't love the smell, others I prefer so WNBA.

    16. Boots No7 Body Shimmer after sun 200ml - this was a freebie during the glitch, very nice with a tan and not all all greasy, though not overly moisturising either. No need to purchase anytime soon as I have a few more of these! WMBA, the main drawback is that whilst the shimmer looks fab on your skin, it also leaves clothing looking sparkly too - visit to dry cleaners now required for all work suits worn this week!

    Happy weekend everyone!

  • Won't let me update my sig either :(

  • Hello lovelies

    I hope everyone is enjoying the drizzle!

    UU:
    1. Gillette Satin Care Sensitive Skin Shave Gel 75ml - WBA
    2. Essential Nuance Airy Ultra Honey & Shea Butter Intensive Hair Mask 200g - an AMAZING mask unfortunately not available in this country. Thankfully I have 1 more in stash from my last travels, WBA.
    3. Liz Earle Limited Edition Cleanse & Polish Rose & Lavender 150ml - WNBA, love these scents usually but didn't like this as much as I thought I might! Original still a HG though

    INs:
    1. Sensodyne Pronamel Gentle Whitening Toothpaste 75ml
    2. Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo 250ml
    3. Philip Kinglsey Body Building Conditioner 250ml
    4. Philip Kingsley Body Building Conditioner 75ml
    5. Philip Kingsley Scalp Toner 250ml
    6. Philip Kingsley Daily Damage Defence 250ml

  • Another 4 ins:

    Sanctuary spa body scrub, shower gel and body lotion - birthday presents from a friend. Not sure if I'll use them yet because I still haven't decided whether to go back to sulfates.

    Antiseptic wipes - that will teach me to run for the 8.13 train on Friday 13th in 2013! :rotfl: I fell down a couple of stairs at the train station onto a gritted anti-slip pad, and I don't trust the water in the train toilets to be clean enough.

  • Back after taking a break from the MSE forum in general and very much IN for this month.
    I did wonder about taking a break from NBUT completely, as I now 'behave' with toiletries. Then I read a few posts and realised I'd missed you all! :D Plus, pampering is so good for me, psychologically and physically; this thread has been the impetus for this for a few years now.
    It needs to continue. ;)

    I've had a few UU's, nothing exciting, used up the Avon Advanced Techniques Moroccan Argan Oil conditioner, the matching shampoo will follow shortly.
    WIBA? Did already. Absolutely love this stuff, and it's been replaced as it was on offer, along with the gloss spray and shampoo at three items for a fiver.
    I have another Avon order due but that was all early Christmas presents, iirc. I hope so!

    Also UU, a 50ml Mitchum roll on deo, already replaced when on offer in Wilko's at £1.

    This is the HG product, though I still have some left of a Sure stick that Am@zon sent me to trial too.
    Couple of splutterers as well, so more to follow. Also GA, an Impulse body spray.

    Don't think I reported my IN of a A!di Carino light brown hair colour. I'd split the last Carino medium brown I used, using up half a pack each time, resealing tube and bottle firmly and mixing it in a plastic bowl. The brown was a bit darker than expected on the second application which may have been my using a bit too much colourant. Anyway it wasn't a disaster, but I've gone for light brown this time.

    I just Googled to check the name was 'Carino' and not 'Carina' and came across a very interesting website, reviewing the Carino shampoos/conditioners that appeared on the A!di shelves a few months ago.

    Hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend break, or that work is going well for those working.

    Edit: Welcome newbies ... and wow what a list, Twisted Cherry. This thread will do you good!

    Hi All,

    Talking of missed, has anyone heard from And lately? Not like her to not be a regular poster, missed her insightful musings and she didn't seem to be around on the last thread.
    Thank you very much for missing me. I am back in the swing of things now and shall attempt to be insightful.
    My son wasn't well, had a real crisis, he is now much, much better and I can breathe.
    (For those who don't know I am And/Andrea!)

    I have missed And too, I hope that she will pop in and see us from time to time, even if she has done stash busting. I did a little "stalking" earlier in the week and find she is around on MSE, so hope that all is well:hello: to And.
    Oops, missed this.... thank you, and yes all is well now. I kinda have stash busted but as I said, I need this thread to keep me maintained and to make sure I look after myself to the max.
