No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2013

roxy7699

Wow - I'd like to join in, I don't tend to buy often but do have many things that I don't use and then think I'd like to treat myself.
I will sort an inventory at some point soon.

Thanks for the new thread!

Right, I am back, and by the size of the stash, in for the next couple of years.

I'm hoping to use up 20 items this month, there's a couple that will be TA almost immediately which always helps. And now as the ultimate shame I'm going to post up my stash list...

I'm in, after a long absence. September is student loan time, so dangerous after a "dry" summer. I might need support and the threat of the naughty step!

I have two Outs; S&G hand food that smelled vile but I used to the bitter end (WNBA because of the going off business) and a mostly used Sally Hansen cuticle oil that went rancid. WNBA as it did flip all and never sank in!

I'm a bit scared to do a stash list as it's been some time, and I lost my old one!

I'll add my eBay outs and naughty ins tomorrow.

Good luck this month everyone! Good to be back.

Another month for me! Stash list is now below 70

That sounds fairly low. I don't think mine ever gets that low even when I'm being very good! Perhaps I am high maintenance after all!

Sam.4000 many thanks for starting us off for another month, please count me in.

Good to see some "old" faces returning to the fold. I have been signing in here for almost two years now, and am pleased to say that my buying habits have changed, yes I still have oodles of products to use, but I am working my way through them, and because I am sorting the wheat from the chaff and finding what suits my (often temperamental) skin, I don't feel the need to raid S*perdrug, B**ts or internet shopping when there are special offers on, not even signing up for freebies very often. Now all I need is a no more buying plants for my garden thread:rotfl:

Lovely holiday at the end of the month (our first cruise) visiting Baltic Capitals and St Petersberg, smart clothing sorted for Dinners, toiletries and nail stuff next, then must look up the possible temperatures for the northern climbs so I can pack appropriate sightseeing things. So excited:j:j:j, haven't been out of UK for 3.1/2 years.

Enjoy your hols maddiemay. I loved our cruise last year.

Had a nosey in Sally's the other day at the other OPI SanFran colours I hadn't seen and was not very impressed. The other one that I fancied (the Car Pool colour) looked a lot like Casino Royale. Am a little sad as it looks like my OPI fetish may be coming to an end. Haven't found anything to replace it with either!!

Ins:
Accidentally bought an OPI set off QVC with Nail Envy Pink, Matte and Original and Avoplex oil, all full size for £30. Matte will be good for parade nights with the cadets, pink is lovely on my toes as they recover from sandals and sand and original is my best buddy. Never tried the bottle Avoplex range but all the other bits, including the to go oil are great. It's rare to get a set where you will use all the products without a doubt.

In Poundland I got a nail stamping plate with French tips that I got frustrated with, and another French manicure nude polish in Boots (Essie Sugar Daddy)

Also Instyle magazine will be bought once or twice for the freebie.

I am starting to feel a difference in my nails again now that I am applying Nail Envy regularly. Feel very strong. I also love the Avoplex though am using up the remnants of a small pot of LE Superbalm on my cuticles at the mo.

Am just repainting my nails and am going for a girlie pink too. Am wearing Essie Lovie Dovie plus OPI !!!!! Galore on my ring fingers. MSE HAS CENSORED MY OPI NAME LOL

Not sure I want to know the answer but, what is the freebie with Instyle?

Sounds like you have a good routine in prep. for the exams, hope it all goes well for you.

Seconded - welcome back Roguey, have missed you.

Thank you maddiemay! You have a lovely time on your holiday x

Now which exams are these? It's impossible not to just focus on the exams (or in my case, ignore them until the last minute in the hope they go away. How I ever managed to make it to post graduate education really is a wonder)

Im not sure quite what the rules are about advertising here so I'll remove this if I've broken any rule, but my etsy store is https://www.etsy.com/shop/roguejewels (anyone else sensing a theme here...) if anyone fancied a sneaky peek.

You sound like you know exactly what I'm going through :beer:
Mine are postgraduate exams too... I'm a doctor and we have a set of exams to take just before we are appointed as a Consultant in our speciality. These will probably be my last exams, but boy are they painful

Your store is lovely roguey, and I must say the items are beautifully photographed x

Puppies are doing really well thanks Maddie, they are very chubby, silky and gorgeous. Mum is doing well and whilst not the most maternal she is coping with them better now. One in particular is very cheeky, the smallest one too, when they get a bit older they will be coming to visit their dad and play here in the garden, I may not let them leave :rotfl:.

Chubby, silky and gorgeous... my heart lept at that description, I love puppies! :T


Some UU to declare:
1. Decleor Phytopeel - WNBA made my skin feel rubbery!
2. Garnier Body Tonic Sugar Scrub 200ml - WBA, I've bought this probably 10+ times... an effective, lovely smelling, reasonably priced scrub. I have some others that I am experimenting with at the mo, but good to know there is a fab £3.50 one I can fall back on as needed!

Xxx

Welcome roxy. Sound like you will be at home here.

OK I have 3 UUs as first for September and have earmarked things in the bathroom that have grown dusty with non-use and need to be finished off.

UUs are :-

Paul Mitchell leave in conditioner. This was only a small tube donated to me by Emma which I suspect came from one of the Glossy Boxes. I liked it. It's made my hair very soft in conjunction with the Tigi shampoo that Emma got as a freebie to review on her blog. Not sure I would buy it again. Will have to see how my hair fares after my next visit to the hairdressers in a week or so. I've made an appointment for him to attempt to strip my hair of the awful colour it now is and add some highlights.

Lush Dirty Soap - I really liked this. It smelt lovely and made my skin look really clean. Will look out for this next time I am in store. Not likely to be for a while as our nearest stores are in Manchester and Trafford Centre and I don't shop at either places very often.

Laura Geller Bronze N Brighten. I really can't get any more out of the pan which is just as well I suppose as I should now start to make myself look pale and interesting. Am going to finish off the Nspa BB Cream I'm using first before I buy any Balance N Brighten though.



Also have an IN to declare:-

LE Ltd Edition C&P. I took advantage of the free delivery offer the other day. It's lovely. Am using it as a night time cleanser so that I can eek out my Elemis one.

Ooooh is it?! I shall try to remember to check this out in store this week. Have you ever tried the Antipodes grapeseed butter cleanser? If you like the Liz Earle/Emma Hardie type cleansers, you may like this one too x Not to be an enabler or anything x

It's a 40ml tube of Elasticizer by Philip Kingsley. I usually buy when it is 20% off in John Lewis or M&S, and this is still better value!

So good in fact even disapproving hubby suggested I stock up :rotfl:

Elasticizer is a HG for me, it doesn't weigh my hair down and gives a wonderful shine, not easy on grey hair, I have the mega size, but a tube would save me decanting into a pot for hols.

I haven't tried the Elasticizer before but think I am going to get the magazine so I can try it. Am also tempted by the Bumble and Bumble product free with Elle magazine.
