No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2013

Fiasco55

Evening ladies. Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

Couple of UU's this weekend

Jason Coco Body Lotion 300mls - WBA. Got this as part of a Whole Foods Market toiletry swap. Got rid of two horrible body lotions for these. This was the last one and I really liked them. The only thing is the price of it....:eek:

Louise Galvin Body Wash - WNBA was a bit meh. Not worth the money which is a shame as the shampoo is a HG for me.


Clinique Almost Make Up Powder Neutral Fair Compact - Discontinued so back to the regular one for me. But again as with a lot of my make up, I no longer have a stash of back ups now.


GA for a charity raffle - Next Nail Polish Gift Set & M&S Nail Polish Gift Set

Ok...you caught me, I'm a toiletries hoarder! It's true! I found the link to this thread from the hoarding one and thought 'I NEED to join!! It may just save my (bathroom cupboard's) life!!
I work for a lovely cosmetics company..I love my job, but MYGOD it means I have a lot of things from there.
I had already decided I was going to make sure I was using lots of things up, but things are still coming in and being hoarded too so I need to join.
I think you will understand my predicament when I tell you that the company I work for is L*sh. I'm sure there are a few on here who have hoarded lush stuff in their cupboards so good to know I won't be alone
I hope it's ok to join now, so should I declare my stash? I might need my own thread....

Welcome Suzi! If you have worked for L*sh for some time, then we may have eyeballed each other.
I used the Newcastle L*sh before they: a) ran their leaflet campaign against horse racing*** and b), I realised I didn't NEED any L*sh products.
I hoped my post on the Hoarders thread would bring folks over.

***I realise opinions differ with regard to this.

Welcome suzitiger :hello:

Never too late to join, and you've certainly come to the right place!

Welcome suzitiger.

Have two uu

BS Spiced Pumpkin Bath & Shower Gel - WBA but I don't think it is available anymore, I have another in the stash anyway. Lovely, long lasting scent.

Garnier 7 day body lotion Aloe - very nice and I would happily buy again but I have tons of body lotion and more of this type in other scents already.

Hi mcculloch, yes I know you from the hoarding thread I always admire your siggy. I actually have a star candle made from lots of thin multicoloured star slices that i got for my sixteenth birthday from a friend, I didn't want to burn it as it was 'so special'
After seeing your siggy I think last year when I joined the hoarders thread I put it on my coffee table with a few other faves that now get lit when we have people over and look pretty the rest of the time. It's not doing me any good not being used :-D
Anyway I digress..
I've worked for L*sh since 2010 but I spent two and a bit years in the sunderland store. I'm with you on the campaigns, its not like the whole company disagrees with such things its more to raise awareness of stuff like the fracking campaign and the badger cull. I'm not against horse racing or greyhound racing when the animals are cared for, because in most cases they are. So as staff you have to be objective, luckily I've never had an angry person come in and shout about it though other staff are not so lucky
And you are SO right, I love stuff from there but I get caught up in the excitement and get a bit obsessive about 'limited' items.
I know my buying won't stop completely as some things from there are HGs but I need it to calm down ALOT and to get rid of my stash. Eb*y calls methinks...sorry for the ramble

I think I will declare a stash as it will help me start to go through it but I will have to list items grouped together (Yes its that bad!!! :eek:) I hope I'm not alone on this when others here were starting out...still..don't keel over at the sight of my list, please

Suzitiger: your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to list all your products. On a secondary note, if you can beat my list of 400 items, then you win no prize, but my ever lasting respect :rotfl::rotfl:

For the LE fans, I've just received an email saying the 100ml C&P pump plus two muslin cloths is £9.50 until Tuesday 10am or stock sells out.

I put two in the basket and then closed the page, must not buy, must not buy...

Can I join please? I'm on a constant mission to use up all my beauty products and toiletries (of which there are many). I recently decided that I want to switch over to more natural skincare but am not going to invest until I've used up my stash - might take me some time
