No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2013

Have two uu, I think this may be it for the month.
Burts Bees Peppermint & Rosemary Shower Gel - 50ml, this was really nice, minty but not too much, good for when you are feeling stuffy.
Molton Brown Coco De Mer Body Lotion - 200ml, I love, love, love this, it sinks in so well, smells amazing and does a really good job of moisturising but it is £18, I used a £10 voucher from a magazine to get this one last Autumn so WBA with a voucher but not without.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Morning All.
Just a quickie...
2 UU, 1 TA and 1 IN.
UU
Pantene Pro-V Perfect Curls Conditioner 250ml - WNBA, had this years, from when I wore my hair curly. Not used Pantene in ages and was surprised how this clinged to my hair and seemed to take ages to wash out. It also smelt quite artificial which is strange as this used to be my range of choice.
Especially Escada Delicate Notes perfume sachet - WNBA, pleasant enough, just not for me.
TA
Principal Secret Advanced Eyesaver Gel 15ml - WNBA, this is a relic from years ago. Thought I'd try and use it up but after using it for 2 days decided to bin it. It just sat on the skin and didn't absorb at all.
IN
Rituals Fortune Scrub Sweet Orange & Cedar 150ml - free with Marie Claire magazine. Ignored this for three weeks but succumbed this week. Never tried this range so looking forward to using it.

I've been deliberating over buying this too. It's been tempting me from the magazine stand for weeks but I have so far managed to resist.......! :rotfl:Clutterfree wrote: »IN

SO MANY UUS!
The first performance of the show is done, at a local school, and it seemed to go down really well! A bit of a destress for me afterwards, with a long bath, and I used up:
42. Lush Ponche shower gel 100ml - WNBA, enjoyed it but not enough to pay Lush prices for it!
43. Lush Ro's Argan Body Conditioner 45ml - WMBA, I adore the scent, but I also love moisturising, so feel like moisturising in the shower/bath too is a bit redundant? :P
44. L'Occitane Cream Mask sachet - WMBA, no idea how much it would be, and I'm probably okay with Lush masks for the time being. Very nice though, my skin feels soft!
45. Hey Soapy Soapy Parma Violet soap - WBA in a heartbeat. I bought this from a stall at a craft fair and it was great! Lasted a reasonable amount of time, too. Their online shop is rubbish though, you email them for a list of scents, then email with your order and bank details. Not so sure I'm okay with that!
46. Givenchy Ange ou Demon body lotion 200ml - WNBA. Love the scent, but this is a bit of a useless lotion, especially in winter. Nice enough as a gift, but glad to see the back of it!
I'm moving some of my stuff out tomorrow to ease the load next week at the end of term, and I'm really proud to say that I won't have a 20L crate full of toiletries (plus extra bits tucked in suitcases) to cart with me. I've used up so many things since the beginning of term, it's crazy! It definitely helps that I've been very tight with my visits to Lush, and hardly bought anything!No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January!UU: 5, IN: 2Total Stash: 99 - ultimate target 33 (year start 99)0 -
Edinburgh trip was lovely. The weather held too. Now back home with a stinking cold and told by work that everyone has to be re-interviewed for their job as savings have to be made!!_pale_
Three INs to report (to gifts and one GWP) so I haven't responded to this news by hitting the shops (mind you I am not ruling this out yet
)
My bf has given me The Sanctuary Shower Cream and Original Source Vanilla Milk & Raspberry.
Also bought Glamour for the Kate Spade Nails Inc polish.

Sorry to hear you've had such rotten news! Fingers crossed everything works out well for you, a little retail therapy would be highly justified I would say0 -
Well done on all your use ups TheOxfordOwl!
I'm glad you enjoyed your Edinburgh trip Fiasco, although I'm sorry to hear the news about your cold and job. Sending you hugs and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Sorry about the job situation. I hope that it works out OK for you, but it must be so stressful:( I have a stinking sore throat and a headache, I keep drinking hot drinks but it means I have to keep going to the loo:eek: Here's hoping your cold goes soon.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

I have 1 IN eye gel to test.
I've mentioned on here how bad my work is and this week on annual leave being hassled. Well yesterday on my return was summoned to have a meeting with management, imagine my horror when I walked in and HR were there
well I am being made redundant:mad:
Spent all last night crying, so upset. Our company is so bad, all they want to save is a few pounds. I've a week's consultation but they've made up their mind.
Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -
...runs through...
22 - E45 shampoo; OK but nothing special
23 - No7 beautiful skin face cleaner/wash. Loved this at first but then the scent became overpowering so I used it up in a bath.
24 - Batiste cherry dry shampoo, rather lovely actually.
...zooms off...Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:
