No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2013

FairyShazza

Not much to report as have lots of products on the go which are at various stages of used upedness. So just one UU today

* Lancôme hair sensation extra rich conditioning mask. Car boot bargain, really liked it and it was good on my hair but am unsure if I'd buy again as its probably quite expensive and am sure I can find something just as good for a fraction of the price.

Actually another UU - cotton wool balls. Have already bought a replacement but got pads this time around as I prefer them for applying toner etc.

I haven't been on this thread for months as I have had a lot of crap going on. I am going to be moving soon (hopefully) so really need to get rid of stuff as I don't want to be carting half of Boots around the country.

I have three UUs

Sanctuary Body Moisture Spray - WBA as best moisture spray I have found.

Dove Beauty Blossom body lotion - WNBA again as horrible smell and texture.

Philosophy Candy Cane shower gel - WNBA. There's nothing wrong with it, but the smell is not as nice in use as it is in the bottle. Unfortunately I do have another few in the stash from when they were £3 in the sales.


I did get that hand lotion from the mag, but am not counting it as an IN 'cause my hands are so dry I will get through it in no time.

That sounds pretty rude! :eek: If you're such a regular, why don't the chat to you and know who you are?

They are actually really nice, and yes they know me well, lush staff are lovely I was only in there today for about an hour which for me is quite short. They know me by name and a lot about me as I know them.

Oh, OK, I must have misunderstood your original post - I thought you'd meant you didn't think they knew who you were.

I have no idea how to up my use up rate. I have a lot of hair products and moisturisers to get through at the moment, but I don't do my hair up very often.

UU

Boots cotton wool pads

M&S strawberry shower gel - WMBA this was a hit with DD

Hello ladies,

2 UUs:

1 x Gillette shaving gel: I'm such a miser that I bought a man's one that was on 2 for £2 offer when it came out. :rotfl: Well, the only difference is the fragrance and it did the job and lasted a long time, so I'm not complaining. (And I've just tried looking up to see where is cheapest at the moment and surprise, surprise - all the female shaving gel is more expensive than the male version. Why is that, I wonder?)

1 x Tresemme dry shampoo: no better or worse than Baptiste from memory, but is more expensive even on special offer, than I can get Baptiste from, so I'll be sticking with Baptiste and their funky fragrances thankyouverymuch.

I'm sorry I was being a little dry.

My use up rate has slowed down, I have saved some sachet that I will use up this month. I am doing well with repurposing shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath as cleaning products and for hand washing clothes. I have a face cream and foot cream being repurposed as hand cream. It will take me ages to use up my hair styling products but I also see it as a challenge to make more effort to wear my hair styled more often.

UU's
BS curl boost cotton seed WBA love this as it helps hold the wave without leaving residue on my hair

Tesco Creme bath WNBA had it years and used it hand wash clothes to finish it off

Burt bees all in one wash WNBA not too bad, foams really well without SLS in it, but lacked scent whichever I like in a wash

Clarins extra firming body cream 30ml WBA I did like this. But would only really get it as a GWP which I must avoid at all.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend. My UUs are very slow this month, but still no INs!

UU:

4. Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus 15ml - WNBA, after several of these I've finally decided that it isn't quite right for my skin, and pretty pricey for what it is.

Forgive me ladies, for I have sinned. In Lush. So it was planned a bit.

Firstly, this morning I used up number 18, Mitchum Deo Stick. WDBA, and already have, this is my staple deodorant!

BUT now there are INS.

Ready?
I bought a Penguin bubble bar and a Secret Santa bath bomb (which is freaking huge, should last me like 3 baths if I can manage to cut it).
Then my best friend and I decided to go halves on one of the Christmas boxes (Getting Ziggy With It), so I also have:

Celebrate body lotion 45g, Noriko Soap 120g, Ponche Shower gel 100g, Gold FUN 100g, Sunnyside bubble bar and Dragon's Egg bath ballistic.
(slightly more than half as she bought a full size Celebrate and didn't want the mini one).

Oh, and I also swapped some black pots for a free Catastrophe Cosmetic face mask! Will always repurchase this while my skin needs it, it's great.!

A total of 9 items from Lush, and thanks to best friend's discount, I got them all for £15!

I also had a parcel from a blog giveaway I won, so also IN are Yves Rocher Raspberry shower gel, body lotion and bath cube. Yikes! 12 ins today!

(sorry not sorry, I love them ALL)

AND in other news, I moved back to Oxford today and YAAAAY my bathtub is still here! So I can have all the amazing baths. I know I did stash pics before, but does anyone want to see my collections in their new homes?

i have INs, i went a little bit "divorce treat myself" crazy.

Laura Mercier Smokey eye set including the palette, 3 brushes and mascara (my mums nabbed the lipgloss off me!)

Origins GinZing xmas gift including eye cream, face cream, eye shadow and mascara

Elemis gift with PCMC (my first pot so excited to try it seeing as though you all rave about it!), PC capsules, full size bubble bath, mini body lotion, mini exfoliator, mini hand cream and mini cleanser. this set was £38 in Debenhams at the Trafford centre and the PCMC is apparently £47 worth alone so me and my mum both nabbed a set while we could!
