No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2013

Would be interested in your thoughts on Snoxin. I've got a sample size and used it a few times but couldn't see it made any difference.
Also have a sample size of Nanoblur.
I use Hydraluron every day which my skin loves.
Have Eyesilix too but the jury is still out on that one.
Purchased Peptabright a couple of weeks ago so hoping that will fade the spot scars on my chin.
Has anyone had any success with it?

The only Indeed Labs product I have tried is Nanoblur, it is dreadful, I can't seem to get it right no matter whether I apply before makeup, after makeup, before moisturiser it is just awful.

Nearly finished the first Snow Fairy bottle, finished a pack of baby wipes and nearly finished Let The Good Times Roll cleanser.

Anyone else think LTGTR has gone downhill? I bought it when it first came out last christmas and loved it, great consistency and was scrubby enough. Now it seems much wetter, the ingredients weren't even mixed in properly and it felt much less scrubby.

Ordered the Lloyds Pharmacy 6 items for £5 plus TCB oh dear.
Also got notice that my BS order will be delivered to morrow

Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather today

Afternoon!

Well it seems Debenhams being totally useless has worked in my favour, as I've ended up with more savings on their spectacular than I would have with the gift card bonanza! They now have the Lancome dreamtone serum gift sets in the 10% off offer, same price as the dreamtone on its own and you get extras worth about £30!

I've ordered 2 to get the free gift. Dreamtone is quickly becoming an HG product so any chance to get it cheaper than the stonking £69 price tag is fine by me! Plus TCB cashback of 3.15% until tomorrow

They still haven't fixed the problem with the perfume not adding the free gift, in fact they've 'fixed it' so far as it adds when you add 3 perfumes but it's meant to be for 2 items :cool:

So I've left the perfume, I wanted some La Vie est Belle but I'll hope some gift sets are left in the sale after xmas instead.

Yes LTGTR ( let the good time roll face cleanser ) it is different this year hence me not buying any and after last years after lush saying it wax going to be permanent then changing their minds. A few people on the lush forum have also mentioned it the consistency has changed.

Ooo I nearly bought this earlier. I really like the BS body butters, but always find the scent can be a bit strong when you apply them all over. Was this one quite a strong scent? (It's really hard to tell with the ones in the shops, as they've been sitting open so long)

Yes, I guess they do smell quite strongly. As I said before I've opened a new Boots Extracts Honey Body Butter and it's not as strong.

Bonus - I was short (ok had less) in my stash of these.

This comment made me smile. Makes me think that I've come quite a long way in that I consider myself short when I am on the last bit of the last or only existing bottle of a product.

Thinking about this though I've just had another look at my PP list and out of all those 10 products earmarked only one will need replacing when I've UUed it up which is the Cutex nail polish remover. Have just used this again (repainted my nails and am wearing OPI Peace & Love & OPI with OPI Alcatraz Rocks on top (probably the only liquid sand that I own and have consistently used)) and it probably still has a good week's worth of product left in it.

Just emptying out my empties box -

Origins Ginzing eye cream sample - HG - already bought the full size.

Oral B pro expert sample toothpaste - WNBA teeth seem to get really sensitive using it.

L'Occitane Fleur Cherie mini shower gel - WMBA - happy to be gifted this but probably wouldn't buy again due to cost.

L'Oreal Skin Perfection wipes - WNBA - didn't think these did much to remove makeup etc - very suprised because the micellar water in the same range is excellent!

Cargo Lash Activator Extreme Primer/Mascara - WNBA - used it once and chucked it - did absolutely nothing for my lashes -couldn't even tell I was wearing mascara let alone mascara with a primer!

Boots Baby Extra Large Cotton Wool Pads - WBA HG already repurchased.

Revlon Colour Stay red lip liner - WNBA really hard and difficult to work with.

It's A 10 Miracle Leave In Conditioner - HG WBA already repurchased

Skinfood Red Orange Makeup Finish Matte spray - WBA but have some Urban Decay ones to use up.

Soap & Glory Greatest Scrub of All - WNBA gone off S&G really and don't use physical scrubs on my face anymore.

REN pore minimising detox mask mini - WBA

Tone & Shine red tinted conditioner - WBA

Alterna Caviar conditioner - WNBA did nothing for my hair considering the price tag!

Eight Hour Cream lip balm stick - WNBA - prefer the Nuxe one.

Frederic Fekkai colour save shampoo - WBA if price was no issue

Hydraluron is my holiest of HG's, I think that I would economise on a lot of things if needed to keep using this, I am lucky to have good skin genes, but this stuff is great for me. For you younger ones with plenty of natural collagen it may not be needed yet

Eyesilix is in stash waiting to be used, but have several small size products to work through first. My skin care guru Caroline Hirons rates it highly, but there is no one product that suits everyone, that is why the cosmetic companies make so much money from us:rotfl:

I thought Nanoblur was a complete waste of money BUT, recently tried it just over Bare Minerals Prime Time on days when I only use mascara and lippie and was pleasantly surprised, so this will get used up at least.

Might try Snoxin on the age spots on my hands at some stage, but again, other things to use up first, including some expensive Clarins that I seem to have mislaid:(

Hello all. I have really been enjoying using my stockpile of goodies in pursuit of this challenge. I used up my moisturiser (Olay Youth Code, lovely stuff that has made my skin lovely and soft). I bought a replacement moisturiser, Olay Complete Care, which I got for 2.49 as it was on half price at 4.99 in the supermarket and I had a 2.50 voucher for that range. Total bargain. Will ad the stats to my signature.

Happy Sunday to all x
