No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2013

2456755

Comments

  • Thanks for starting us off KT!

    Last week of November got a bit hectic, so I'm declaring the last of my UUs here:

    Champneys spa treatments citrus blush shower gel 50ml
    Body shop vitamin facial oil 15ml

    This was the last of the chmpagneys shower gel from two years ago :eek:It was still very lovely and a WBA, perhaps in the Boxing Day sales this year…

    The facial oil was ok but nothing great, it seemed to sit on the skin rather than sink in.

    So that's 32 OUTs and for the first time ever, no INs all month!! Of course, I've spent a lot of money on jewellery supplies…perhaps replaced one addiction with another :A

    Asset: I'm so sorry to hear about work. There were a lot of redundancies at my last firm before I left; shortly after, two people who had worked in roles I would have progressed to had I stayed, were made redundant. It's just so prevalent now. I suffer from stress related eczema that causes reddening and thick skin, I find the Avene rich recovery cream is the only thing that works.

    Sunshiney/Maddie - I bought the sensational kit a couple of months back. I haven't done my nails for a few weeks as I've been making resin jewellery, and the resin doesn't mix with gel nail polish :rotfl: I do love the kit though, and it works out so much cheaper and easier than salon gel manicures. I find it impossible to book those appointments due to my long commute time, so I can do my own nails at midnight if I have the time and inclination. I'm also a terribly clumsy person and am not the best at painting neatly, but with hot water and soap the gel does come off skin without coming off nail, if you overpaint.

    I've set myself up a little product advent calendar so should go through at least 25 items this month, hopefully more, because I'm already planning Boots sale purchases...

    Morning All.
    Don't know what the etiquette is so hope it is okay to repost my list at the start of the month because it will make it easier for me to update during the month.

    Re PP is this just any items that I will work harder to use up, ie just use one shower gel until it's gone rather than chopping and changing?
    I'll give it a try.

    Well I started the challenge half way through November and I'm down 15 items so it's a start... :o
    However, I think this month there will probably be more INs than OUTs. I want to keep it below the 300 figure though.:eek:

    My stash...

  • How did we reach December so quickly? I swear I must have slept through a couple of months, there's just no way 2013 is almost over!

    I'm in for this month, need to definitely keep my purchases down (save money for Christmas and keep room for any gifts), but I am also going to make a few toiletries, which will have to count as INs.

    Started the month with my first UU:

    BS Vitamin C skin reviver. I'd say this is a bit of a HG item, so WDBA, I have about 3 skin illuminators in my stash just now, so will get through them before I buy another one of these.

    I'm in again for this month :) don't need anything and will be watching my pennies big style for the foreseeable future :/
    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 time

    Keep "popping in to say hello" even if you are being extremely frugal in your use of toiletries and making them last while you sort out your next position, you know (in my belief) that this is one of the most supportive threads to be part of and we will all be cheering you on.:D

    Thanks for starting this month's thread KT2802; Im going to carry on from last month as I found it very encouaging to post my UUs, even though I didn't actually reduce my stash :o.

    I have a UU to report,

    15 ml Essentially Yours Under-Eye Firming Serum (finally!). Wasn't really right for me, and anyway I think they've reformulated thei range, so WNBA.

    Also 2 INs :(.

    nurturecleansing wipes, which came with...
    sample sachet nurture replenish Day Cream

    Am visiting in-laws this week so will pack sample to use!

    3. Elemis cleansing balm
    4. Hello Kitty Liberty hand lotion
    5. Clinique dd moisturising gel

    Thanks for staring us off again KT2802 - I'm back in although it's not likely to be a good month for stash reduction. :D Already have a couple of things on order that have GWPs so I will have to work hard to counteract some of those. Couple of things spluttering so quite hopeful that some extra December pampering might help reduce the damage.

    Project Pans

    1. BS Rainforest Moisture Conditioner 250ml
    2. Sanctuary Spa - Body Lotion 250ml

    3. Le Reve - Invigorating Body Shampoo 200ml
    4. L'Oreal Perfect Clear Apricot Face Back Scrub 150ml
    5. Simple - Deep Cleansing Face Mask 75ml

    6. Olay - Complete Defence SPF30 75ml
    7. Garnier - 3 in 1 Wash Scrub Mask 150ml
    8. Clarins - Super Restorative Day Cream 30ml
    9. Ragdale Hall - Spa Sugar Scrub 200ml
    10. Phillip Kingsley Moisture Balancing Conditioner 60ml

    Hope you all have a lovely pampered December.
    Morning All.
    Don't know what the etiquette is so hope it is okay to repost my list at the start of the month because it will make it easier for me to update during the month.

    Re PP is this just any items that I will work harder to use up, ie just use one shower gel until it's gone rather than chopping and changing?
    I'll give it a try.

    Well I started the challenge half way through November and I'm down 15 items so it's a start... :o
    However, I think this month there will probably be more INs than OUTs. I want to keep it below the 300 figure though.:eek:

    Good to see some PP lists already up, good luck guys!
    And yes clutterfree, PP is when you say you will use up said items before buying anything else..but seeing as this is what this thread is for me I just use PP as a list of products I really need to focus on using up to help make a noticeable dent in my stash/or for things that have been hanging around for ages! are you in?
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D
    *NSD Challenge Nov 0/10* *£10 a day challenge Nov £0/£300*
    No buying unnecessary toiletries challenge-in it for the long haul
    :D

    Thanks Suzitiger.
    No I'll just stick with trying for UUs this month and perhaps try PP in the new year.
    :heart: Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

    Keep "popping in to say hello" even if you are being extremely frugal in your use of toiletries and making them last while you sort out your next position, you know (in my belief) that this is one of the most supportive threads to be part of and we will all be cheering you on.:D

    Aww thank you, that is so kind :A yes I do believe this is a very supportive thread so will be following it.
    I've a number of items that are at the spluttering stage so hopefully will get them UU soon.
    Thanks to everyone for their support, much appreciated xx
    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 time
