No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2013

UU from Proj. Pan. Andrew Collinge Purity Colour Therapy Conditioner. 250ml
WIBA? Only now available on the bay of E from folks who probably bought a batch in £land, like me. I loved this to start with but it seemed to become harder to rinse it out properly, perhaps it was too heavy for my very fine hair.
The Lush shampoo bar bits are still happily lathering away and refusing to reduce in size by more than a millimetre each time.
I've got a Schwarzkopf Gliss Ultimate Volume conditioner to use with this now that the AC has gone. Ages since I used Gliss, but iirc, it was OK stuff. Again, this was a £land buy.

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.

I know we're all different but never fails to amaze me how opinions on these things can vary from one extreme to another. I'm the biggest sceptic on the planet and having read heaps of reviews at both ends of the spectrum I wasn't convinced either way; so working on a process of elimination I can only but try it myself and hope that miracles do happen.:rotfl:

My UUs from this weekend:

Very to see my jar of Clarins Hydraquench Gel 50ml licked totally clean. Although it has become my HG for everyday moisturiser I won't replace it until I some others are gone (or at least until I see a worthwhile GWP).

Sanctuary Spa Relax Body Wash 200ml - WNBAthis was one of my Project Pan items that has been hanging around my bathroom for so long, I don't think it's available anymore. Never liked the gloopy consistency.

Phillip Kingsley Flaky / Itchy Shampoo 60ml - WNBA I had such high hopes that this might be THE one to do the trick. Alas didn't work for me.

I agree, I think that's why we all have cupboards bursting with different products - on the search for our Holy Grail.

I used PK years ago but can't remember too much about it.
I also have a bad scalp, due to psoriasis. At the moment I'm using Head and Shoulders Cool Menthol. It hasn't cleared it but it has eased the itching. Oddly enough this works better for me than their itchy scalp version.

I keep trying to tell you missie that Lord of Misrule is hear for Xmas AND the rest of winter, yay! :rotfl:

Have a fab time in Disneyland, sounds great!

Haha, so you do… I keep forgetting! :P Great news though!

Thanks to all who wished us a good trip, we had an amazing time It rained really heavily about half the time, but we also had plenty of sun, and because it was mid-November, it was barely even busy - no more than half an hour wait for any of the rides, except at lunchtimes! It's a bit weird coming back and it not being Christmas anymore, the entirety of Disneyland is covered in snow and Christmas lights and music…

I have two INs of the shower gel that my boy made me take from the hotel, I will admit it smells really nice. It'll get used up quickly if we're both using it.
And one UU, a packet of cleansing wipes. Perfect for hand-luggage travelling, but I'd only buy again in a similar situation, I don't like using them for normal cleansing.

I think I've finally caught up on the thread, welcome to the newbies, boo to the INs, and well done to people resisting and using things up!

Have a little batch of uu to report:

Mandara Spa Tropical Blooms Hand Cream - 35ml - Really like this as it absorbs easily unlike the body cream they do. Have another this size on my desk to use.

L'occitane Shea Hand Cream - 15ml, lovely, lovely stuff, the smell is so comforting but the price is not. Have more tubes in various sizes in the stash.

Molton Brown Healthy Ziao Jao shampoo - 50ml.

Nivea Moisturising Body Lotion for very dry skin - 400ml, this has been in use on my little DS for ages, it spreads for miles so we only needed a bit, I finished it off myself last night as it was getting messy. WNBA as it is greasy but I have another the same size in the stash, DS will be so pleased :rotfl:

One UU to announce - Gliss conditioner. Wouldn't necessarily buy again but wouldn't avoid it either. Only bought it as it was part of a 5 for £4 deal. I'm now down to just 1 conditioner!:T :T

Not sure why I have 4 shampoos opened though :rotfl:

Resisted temptation twice today...
Elle magazine with the Benefit lip gloss - only had Hoola shade so didn't buy, had it been Coralista or Dandelion I may not have been so strong!:o
Also Marie Claire magazine has a free Rituals body scrub worth £10 and I was tempted as I have never tried this brand but then thought I already have scrubs that I rarely use so I walked away.

A UU and an IN!

Finished my Superdrug Coconut and Almond Conditioner - WMBA, I thought this was amazing when I first started to use it, but found the second bottle I had to be a bit less effective. So I thought I'd try…
Sainsbury's Basics Conditioner. This is a huge litre bottle which was only 87p. Normally I'm much more fussy about shampoo than conditioner, and since I use a good 80ml or so everytime I wash my (waist-length, tangly-as-all-hell) hair, I thought I'd see if trading down a couple of brand levels was any good for me. If I don't like it, well, I'm not out of pocket much!

I went back and found this list.

And while reading I thought the category headings looked a bit familiar :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that!

Hahahah yes be flattered. Originally when I first posted my list it had in brackets 'copied from kadisons list for easy catagorising' or something like that
I wouldn't have had a clue where to start otherwise! :rotfl:
So what do you think of my stash?

Just a little bit too used to swap/donate them unfortunately. Most of them were gifts, and I always feel I should make an effort to use gifts. In future I'll just donate them straight away.

Try freecycle? Seriously you will be amazed even if you advertise them as almost used up, people still want them. Helps with the guilt of TA anyway
