No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2013

suzitiger

Yay another UU for me just now-
Lush You snap the whip body scrub it was all melted on the lid of a black pot cuz I left it on the windowsill one sunny day :-/ glad it's all gone now for that reason. Back to buffy-WMBA it's a nice scent and good and scrubby but I think I prefer Buffy to this one.

I have a dodgy back too and invested in a mattress topper a couple of years back. I love mine and feel it does help. When it's time to replace my bed in the next few years - I will be buying a memory foam bed. Can't remember who said it....spend as much as you can on shoes and beds - if you're not in one, you're in the other.

This month has been so slow on the UU front. Finally have my first UU for October - Klennex facial wipes. WBA great texture, very moist and did the job well. Just can't seem to find them again.

9 - TA Bourjois blanc diaphane eyeshaddow - a pearlised white that I've had for years, I think at least 5!

:eek::eek: You're meant to chuck eyeshadow after 3-6 months! I keep mine for up to a year though :rotfl:

Just about, I did go on holiday for 2 weeks in the middle though! Do you use a sponge/loofah? I think a loofah makes any shower gel last twice as long!

I use a bath lily, and I am quite generous as I like to get a good lather!

So, I went over to my best friend's place last night, and she loaded me up with a ton of random Lush bits and bobs she wasn't getting on with...

23. Smitten hand cream 45g
24. Fair Trade Honey 100g (3/4)
25. Half a purple bubble bar
26. Half a pink bath bomb (she forgot the names of these)
27. About 30g of North Pole soap (half pink, half white)
28. About 75g of Northern Lights soap
29. Let The Good Times Roll cleanser (no weight on pot?)

I'm most excited about the cleanser, it smells amazing and is SO good on my skin. A really nice exfoliator to alternate with my Queen of Hearts soap...

Hello, hope the weather is better where you are ladies. It is grey and rainy in Edinburgh But since I don't want to go outside I might spend the afternoon sorting out my wardrobe and toiletry stash and stay dry!

2 UU for me.

L'Oreal Nutrigloss shampoo - prob WNBA, it was OK but I am really trying to go for bunny friendly toiletries and now I have no shampoo stash I'll have to put my money where my mouth is!

Caudalie Eye + Lip serum - WNBA, never used this as a lip serum because I didn't really understand whether it was a lip balm or to be used around the lips, seemed a weird idea! This was a free sample sent with the Caudalie make up remover water (which I love) but this serum didn't do anything for me. It didn't moisturise around my eyes at all.

I always thought eyeshadow was 2-3 years once opened. All of mine is at least 5 years old and hasn't done me any harm so far though! I think cream shadows might be 3-6 months but I don't get on with them, they just crease on me so I have given up!

i have an IN from a mag subscription gift:
Trilogy Rosehip oil Antioxidant plus (was also supposed to contain a moisturiser too so ive sent them an angry email asking why I've only got half!)

I love Rosehip Oil, it is my go to when I need something "safe" for allergy breakouts and if the wind is harsh and burning. I mainly use A'Kin, but have bought and always keep in stock those tiny Trilogy ones, they are great for weekend/long days out. The oil in the Trilogy is finer than the A'kin, but doesn't seem to make much difference on me.

UU
20ml sample Origins Dr. Weil Body cream (found at back of drawer) not sure if this is still in the range, but it is lovely, very thick, but so easily absorbed.

Sachet Frizz Ease Serum. O.K. but prefer my PK Elacticiser

5ml Clinique Anti-Gravity eye cream. GWP, WNB as too heavy for me.

Another 12 ebay outs.

L'oreal eye and lip make up remover - WNBA preger the garnier one.

Clinique Lash Power - HG has been opened at least 6 months and isnt applying as well as it used to. Replaced with the same.

Oooo just about to go out and there's a downpour of torrential rain! Oh well, Asda is open for a good few hours yet - I'll wait! :rotfl:

Might be another NBI for me later, brought over from my ebay stash.

DKNY Red Delicious 50ml

Bought it in the perfume glich at Boots so paid £22 instead of £48, no luck selling on ebay and people on my local selling page are offering me £10-£15 and that was before boots put it on a half-price offer! TBH it's an expensive perfume and I'd rather keep it if I'm only going to get £15 for it! I've put it up for £20 no offers, if it hasn't gone by this evening then I'm keeping it for myself!

Happy weekend ladies! I am feeling a little worse for wear today after a few to many G&Ts last night :rotfl: just enjoying being lazy.

Have been decluttering products I never use and am going to try and get rid of them at a car boot sale. Mainly hair products that I have never used. So that's another 11 outs which takes me up to 156 :j

I don't really have much of a stash anymore - only things that I have too many of now are shower gel and moisturisers. This could all change after Christmas though :rotfl: This challenge has really helped me to get rid of and UU stuff.
