No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2013

seasideDreamer

Afternoon, final Birthday pressie and more INs, this time its a haul of Lush from the Star gift box. :j I so love my nice smellies, even better when they are gifts as so much of the nice stuff is too over priced now and my :money:ways won't let me buy them for myself. Off to update my stash list again:)

9. Elemis nourishing shower cream - I'm drowning in this.

I am drowning in this too. I'm never sure whether I like the fragrance. I have just opened a hand and body lotion in same fragrance for work so can't bring myself to use any of the shower creams yet.

1st nov and an in already!!!
£2 Glamour mag got me an £11 nail polish and a body shop card worth either £3,£15 or £100:)plus 2 perfume samples
not a bad mag either as lots of beauty stuff in.
had a thought whilst browsing the shelf...how come handbag and full size mags cost the same?
also bought woman and home and found a coupon for some origins stuff:)

Thanks for this post rosemary. I bought this mag yesterday for the gold nail lacquer for Emma which she is wearing now and looks lovely.

I'm trying to book into the events evening at our local TBS and will have to remember to take this card along although no doubt it will only have £3.00 on it.

Have some uu

Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator - not keen on this as it is in a gel base and doesn't feel like it does anything. I have more of these in the stash but WNBA after those have finished.

I love this product and had a stash full of it at the beginning of the year that I acquired from a TSV and GWPs. Still have some left and really enjoy using it as it is very gentle.

When you get a chance can you post a link rosemary? Am thinking of getting a beauty advent calendar this year. At what date did they become reduced?

Look away if you don't want to be tempted.... but just caught a glimpse of the Benefit advent calendar that goes on sale at noon today.... OMG it looks fab! Must resist..... I think its about £50, which does work out good value but I don't NEED it!!

Not very impressed by this as I've had or have the products already in there with the exception of a few. Would rather repurchase full sizes or look out for freebies than buy this calendar. Might as well fess up to the Benefit lip gloss INs yesterday that are free with the Elle mag this month. Three to choose from : Dandelion, Hoola and Coralista (half sizes). I ended up touring Stockport looking for all three to find that most places only stocked the copy with Hoola attached. I have kept the dandelion one. So 4 INs already and it's only 4 November!

Ooo - just seen that there is a really good Groupon for a body shop voucher today. £15 for a £30 voucher, plus free LYB card (mine expired in Sept) and if you spend £40 (before the voucher) you also get a free hand cream.

I wonder if they have anything for stain removal :rotfl:

Thanks for this. Will see if I manage to get into the event and get one of these I think.

Just got back in from a weekend at Boyfriend's and I'm off for a full on Sunday afternoon pamper - bath, hair mask, face mask, legs, candle, the lot. His house has a drip of a shower and although it's got a big old bath, the hot water tank can only heat enough water to fill it half way, so you either have a lukewarm full bath, or cold shoulders!

Things I'm targeting at the moment include:

1. Garnier Moisture Match day cream (green) - loved the sample of this, but realised with prolonged use that it doesn't really suit my skin.
2. Bee Strong shampoo - I love this, but have run out of the matching conditioner, so want to get it used up.
3. Rudolph face mask - because it's fresh.
4. Smitten hand cream - I'm terrible at remembering to apply hand cream!
5. 9 to 5 cleanser - I like this, but I'm bored of it, and I want to use something else now!
6. B Pure Micellar water - this doesn't do a lot, and does sting my eyes, so is being repurposed all over the place.
7. Pumkin bubble bar - because I have 3.
8. Greek Passion Olive Oil and Honey soap - this is so boring, I really want to get on and use some Lush things instead!!
9. North Pole soap (pink) - this is nearly done, but soap takes me so long!
10. Bio Oil 200ml - bought ages ago for stretch marks, but I stockpiled, and now my stretch marks are much better so I have lots of this to use as moisturiser. Love the effect, but hate applying oil rather than butter...

OK now that I've caught up with you all I have these 10 items on my Project Pan list.

1.Cutex nail polish remover
2. TBS Honeymania body butter
3. Elemis Exotic Frangipani shower cream
4. Clinique Dramatically Different moisturiser
5. Elemis Lime Blossom Balancing Cleanser
6. LE Limited Ed C&P
7. Elemis Bliss Capsules
8. L'Occitane Jasmin Passion hand cream
9. Aussie shampoo
10. Elemis Eye Renewal serum

Probably the product out of all these that will last the longest will be the nail polish remover.

I am putting you all on warning now that I have a week off work this week and have a trip planned to The Trafford Centre on Tuesday to start Christmas shopping. Part of that trip will involve a look at L'occitane to try out the new perfume and probably buy something to get the GWP that's offered at the mo.

Just the one UU from my pampering...

1. Ojon Damage Reverse Treatment - I liked this, but for the price I don't think it had enough of an impact on my hair to repurchase. There are other Ojon things I'd love to try, though.

Hi all.

I am still working through my original 10 project pan items and from memory still have 5 to go:

Bare Minerals Original in Fair
Bare Minerals Prime Time
Dove Body Silk
Sanctuary Hot Cloth Cleanser (this replaced a BS cleanser which I didn't like)

there is another item but I just can't remember it.

Welcome newbies and returners.

I am staying away from the advent calendars this year. I got the YOU one last year and I either still haven't used some of the items or the samples were too small for me to tell whether I'd want to buy the full-size products.

First UU of the month NSpa gingerbread syrup. love this and it lasts forever. One more in the stash.

Sundaysgirl

Welcome newbies. First UU of the month:

1. Leo Bancroft Ultimately Intense hair mask 75ml - WNBA, didn't seem to do much.

I have a feeling this month is going to be slow-going for me!
