No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2013

alja

First UU of the month is a small bottle of Charlie pink body spray. I wouldn't say it was a favourite but it's pleasant enough

Morning all.

I have ins

Kniepps Menthol & Mint Shower gel - this is a much cheaper alternative to my beloved Molton Brown Warming Eucalyptus although it is more cooling than warming. I keep one in for when the cold and flu season starts as I suffer with sinusitis and my MB stuff is nearly finished, I find it helps in a steamy shower to clear my head a bit.

Badger Sleep Balm
Badger Chest Rub

Re the No7 vouchers, they have overdone this in my opinion and there is not one single thing I want from No7 off the top of my head so I won't be bothering (haven't bothered with the last few offers and glitches), yay progress.

Hi everyone. Couple of Uu already
Pantene ice shine cond- got another one in stash. This was "bought" when t had the double the diff offer on and was free April 11 ? Don't plan to rebut was okay but it is a Procter and gamble product
Impulse hot pink shower gel - got as an Xmas gift 2 years ago . Now on to some sanctuary stuff I bought about the same time... Got a few of these to use then some mini body shop then I might finally be through all my shower gels probably going to be a shock when I start buying again considering I really haven't bought much in about 2 years!
Sounds mental to say but looking through an old notebook I have had just under 500 use ups/ throw aways/give aways since I started this mid 2011?
And spent under the 100 mark in "real money" (possibly included some vouchers in this total aswell) buying the following -urban decay palette /eyeliners and a reduced bottle of womanity I used to spend that easy a month

Hi All,

Been keeping up, more or less, until away at the weekend for a hen do, so then had the end of the last thread and the quickly moving beginning of this one to catch up over the last few days. Been a while since I've posted though but I am always here in spirit So hi fellow stashers old and new and congrats/hugs where I've missed giving them at appropriate points. 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.

Ok so to finish off August (I know I'm way behind here so please forgive me!):

Final 4 UU/GA were Liberty Hello Kitty Body Scrub & Body Butter - loved the artwork and fragrance but found the consistency of both of these rubbish - WNBA - gave them to Mum (I may have already declared these too, I'm not entirely sure). Elemis Illuminating flash balm was a UU, last of about 5 or 6 of the small sample tubes, I love the smell and consistency of this but I noticed that the skin on my neck seemed a bit flaky and also that I was getting rather more blemishes than usual so not sure if this was to blame or it was good old stress!!! Thought I'd give it a rest and use something else for a while just to see how I went - its quite expensive so wouldn't mind too much if I had a good reason not to use it anymore! :rotfl: Final UU was Cussons Moisture Plus shower cream WBA 99p for 500ml from HB and does the job nicely - I never really feel justified in spending much on shower gel as I go through it so quickly.

Final few IN to declare from August were 11 in total which sounds a lot but all bar one was either gifted, a freebie or incidental (hair dye conditioner) - those were:
1 & 2. L'Oreal Preference Conditioner x 2
3. Garnier Moisture Match Moisturiser
4. Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus
5. The Scottish Fine Soaps Co. Lavender Soap
6. Purdies Chamomile, Sage & Vanilla Bath Bomb
7. D & G Intense sample
8. Georgio Armani Si sample
9. Clarins Double Serum sample
10. Eucerin Hydrating Care sample
11. Eucerin Cleanser sample

Phew, got there in the end! So overall totals for August were 21 in and 26 UU/GA/TA - happy with that as a lot of the IN are one use sachets so should make good in Sept and it was a reduction too, even if a fairly modest one. :T

Ps forgot to say, thank you for the new thread, obviously I'm in again and also loving the stash pics!

Hello all, I'm back in after a hectic couple of weeks (which inidentally had no UUs at all!) and got awfully confused for a bit when no one seemed to be posting any more - doh, looking at the old thread! Glad you haven't all abandoned the cause! :P
Several use ups for me today, they must all have been hiding...
1. NSpa Lemon Meringue showergel WIBA? I can't, it's discontinued, but it was really nice. Stupidly thick tiny bottle though, very hard to squeeze!
2. J&J Daily Essentials day cream WIBA? This was my HG day cream for a while, but after four consecutive pots I'm a little bored with it...
3. Charlie Silver perfume WIBA? No, although I really enjoyed using it this was because it was a present from my boyfriend's grandparents. it was very nice as a light body spray but I tend to prefer deeper perfumes.

Have a couple more splutterers, hoping for some good UUs in the bath tonight!

Did slip up and buy the HE Bee Strong shampoo and conditioner though - I tried some sachets of this and LOVED it, so I've been dying to get it since, and it was half price in Mr S today I don't have any conditioner in the stash, so that's okay, but I have waaay too much shampoo, I get through it so much slower than conditioner!

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.

Evening,
UU's
Sugar buff black sand WBA
So white bath bomb WBA love the scent but the smell does fade really quickly, 3 left.

I decided to do a stash list and I am still not finished, it is taking ages. I have written everything separately to make it easier for me to track but it does make it look longer. Should be finished by the weekend, I am not listing Make up, nail varnish or lip balms as I don't stash this.
