No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2013

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.

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.

OMG don't get me started on bl**dy LTGTR!!
Ours seems the same as last year in Newcastle shop. But yes Sam when they did that last year it REALLY P*ed me off!
There was no warning, shop staff were NOT told it was being pulled and we were telling customers it was staying, then L*sh wondered why customers got so upset when they came back in for it having been told it was staying to find it wasn't there anymore!

Honestly it was SO embarrassing, looked really unprofessional that staff didn't know what was happening.

So then there was a MASSIVE debate on the staff room forum, it got really nasty with the founders getting involved and then being quite rude to staff when we were just feeding back what customers were saying to us on the front line...it nearly didn't come back this year BECAUSE of all the fuss it caused on the staff forum sighhhhhhhh.....
I mean talk about making a mountain out of a molehill..

All we were asking as staff was that if they decide to discontinue something that we are told when and why (instead of just taking it off RSM so we couldn't order it anymore and having to ring the factory to ask why we couldn't order it and be told that way that we were no longer selling it) and they got really angry with everyone.

It was really bad, sorry for the rant but it was just SUCH a fuss about something that could have been handled so much better. Phew :rotfl:

kadison

Ooooo I've come to the realisation that I'm down to my last two body scrubs! :j

I might have to take part in the Boots event after all! I am very much over Soap & Glory, except for their scrubs, so I plan on getting some on 3 for 2, 6 would do me fine lol!

EDIT: And there's one on on Wednesday!

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?

Lush! If I remember correctly :D:D

I do like your stash, you have some old ballistics I loved cracker snap. I did spot blue skies bubble bath, I still have 1 bottle but I am in no rush to use it ( favourite scent)

UU's
Clarins instant smooth line correcting concentrate WNBA considering this was only 3 ml ( full size) it seemed to last forever. I did not get on with this product. I did not get any results except it made me look greasy and seemed to highlight my lines not hide them. I read so many reviews thinking that I was not using it correctly.


BS rose hand cream WNBA I hate the smell of roses so ended up using it as leg/ foot cream.

Provive hair conditioner WMBA cheap and cheerful Aldi special

John Freda hair serum 30ml WBA it does calm my hair down I am on the last bottle of this

BS midnight bakula perfume WNBA I grew to actually like this but would not buy it again, I bought it when it was half price.

INS
12 items from glamour box ( again I bought 2 which I have got to stop)

I've also got the Glamour box on order...
I bought the Balance Me box a few weeks ago. I use the face oil which is £14.95 alone so £19.95 for the complete box was a no brainier. (there's also an oil in the Glamour box):T
I've only tried the balm so far and I'm not too sure about it. It's greasier than my usual balm and has oatmeal in it so sort of like a scrub too.
No golden ticket for me, so good luck with that!

One of the Balance Me boxes also fell into my basket last night...:o Seemed rude not to! Skincare is my big temptation generally and I do love Balance Me products as a rule. I'd had a bad day so it was well deserved.

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.

I was very proud of myself in Tesco earlier, picked up Marie Claire for the scrub thinking I only had a small S&G Flakeaway, then realised I also had a full bottle of ASP exfoliator, so put it back :T The benefit of having a well tracked stash nowadays :A I also accidentally wandered down the Christmas aisle on the way to the tills, they had loads of beauty/toiletries sets half price, was tempted particularly by a L'oreal one with micellar water and moisturiser but luckily realised it wasn't for my skin type, phew!!

I've just seen the UD Instagram video with a sneak peak of some of the Naked 3 colours, I NEED this!!! That's non negotiable :rotfl:

Finally, a little UU this morning, L'Oreal Preference Conditioner - WBA fab and comes with my hair dye of choice which is also a firm HG, I have strayed and been sorry!!

UU - BS Love Etc body butter - WBA but in a different fragrance

TA - Mango lip balm - gift from 2 years ago, not even 1/4 of the way through it, so time to go.

My Glamour box arrived today. :T
Yes skin care is my temptation, but make-up is my biggest weakness.
Luckily this is a toiletries thread so when compiling my list I won't be listing that.

My name is also on Naked 3. It'll go nicely with 1 and 2!
Actually, I think I prefer the colours of 3, although I've only seen pics. Do you have a link to the video please?
I also have my eye on the Laura Geller 25 shades of baked palette...

I really want the Naked 3 too :eek: wonder when it will be out? Expect won't be able to get hold of it for some time after the release.

1 UU this evening -

180 - Lush Christmas Eve bubble bar - WMBA, liked the smell of this but found it didn't smell as strong in the bath. Have asked for some Lush items for Christmas :T Also realised earlier that the melting snowman is a bath melt not a bubble bar as I previously thought. The name gives it away really :rotfl:

Lib glamour box

UU

Lush green bath bomb - made the bath a lime green colour and smelt of citrus - WNBA fragrance not as strong as I like.

Garnier 2 in 1 make up remover - WBA cheap and effective.
