No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2013

GA

L'oreal holographic top coat mascara - this was a free gift and I thought my teenage sister would appreciate it more than me.

IN

2 x Garnier fresh essentials face wash - for DD to encourage her to actually wash her face rather than splashing with water!

Cutex nail polish remover - apparently this one is good for glitter - will see.

I've never bought toiletries in the January sales (well except perfume from the Next sale) so you may be leading me astray...

Oh my gosh. Really?! I wish I didn't have such a problem with the sales, I probably then wouldn't have a stash! Though then I guess I would never have come across all you lovely ladies on this thread!

UU:

12. Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum 30ml - WNBA, I have used this product for several years and this recent tube was a real LHJ after I realised that it actually doesn't do my skin any favours. It's very siliconey and has resurrected the under skin spots/bumps on my forehead that the No7 eliminated Very expensive too.

13. Clinique Clarifying Lotion No2 30ml - WBA, but not for a while as currently have the largest size in use.

14. Vichy Idealia Life Serum 1.5ml - too hard to tell just from a sachet but nice texture scent and consistency so WMBA depending on price, though not for a while.

Finally starting to feel like I'm getting better. Away visiting OH's lovely family this weekend so expecting a few more small UUs before end of today! Hope everyone's well

Hi Kadison


When I used to sell some of my stash, whether it be ebay or when I used to car boot, I would just cross it off my list when it had sold so I always had a tally of what I still had.

TheOxfordOwl

Christmas has begun, and I have 12 ins… I had got down to 71, so very nearly at my target, which I'm going to count as a success!

So, UUs since I was last on:
19. Lush Secret Santa bath bomb - WMBA, was amazing but VERY expensive and didn't need to be so huge.
20. Sainsbury's Basics conditioner - WBA, only 87p for 1 litre and was just as good as any other cheapie conditioner
21. Lush Christmas Eve bubble bar - WBA, HG winter bubble bar.

Now for the INs!!
These were all part of my Christmas present from my Lush friend, in the form of a Fab Christmas box!

7. Santa Baby lip tint
8. Sex bomb bath bomb
9. Snow Fairy shower gel
10. Star Light Star Bright bath melt
11. Snow Fairy Sparkle massage bar
12. Snowcake soap 120g
13. Luxury Lush Pud bath bomb
14. Angel's Delight soap 120g
15. Rose Jam shower gel 100g
16. Gold Fun 100g
17. Turkish Delight Shower Smoothie 45g
18. Ro's Argan Body Conditioner 45g

Looking forward to using all of these, and I'm already planning the baths I'm going to have!

Evening Ladies.

Trying to catch up on the thread - but it is taking me quite a while. Haven't been on much as RL has been keeping me very busy.

Asset - Have a lovely holiday - you deserve it after what you've been through.

Did get some good news the other day - my job is secure and no interview is required. :j:j:j:j Not had time to take it in yet as I am pretty stressed with work in general (crazy hours and covering for boss's 3 week holiday) and my best friend is leaving next month to live in The States. So upset about this.
!

Good to here and I hope asset you enjoy your holiday.

I have finally broken up from work , it's been so busy I have bought quite a lot home but atleast I can do it when I choose.

INS
7 items yves rocher why I can't resist I have no ides but they have had such great offers on.

Macadamia deep repair masque I used my birch box points for this and I have wanted to try it.

Hand cream

2 nail varnishes off mom

UU's
Nickory bath treats pink sugar body whip WMBA did not like the scent but liked the product, it reminded me of a soft massage bar.

Sugar babe sugar scrub WNBA

Foundation mousse WBA down to last one

It's a date bubble bar WNBA great colour but not really scented anymore

Candy mountain bubble bar WBA bubble well and it is well scented

Secret garden ballistic WNBA I am not a fan of the small egg lush bath bombs and this did not really do a lot for me.

BS spiced vanilla hand cream WNBA love the scent but I find it quite a greasy hand cream.

2 x elemis PCMC 4 ml WBA

LP skin therapy overnight replenish cream WNBA nice enough from a beauty advent from last year.

GA
4 items

I have several splutterers so will clear some more this month.

In regards to January sales they are also my weakness. I will definitely be going to lush as some point and probably a few others I will try to not go mad. My lush collection is the smallest it had been for 4 years and I miss bath bombs also if lush do have the sale as they have had the previous years ( 50% off) then I will stock up to me it would be silly not to.

ruby_eskimo - I'd never heard of Birchbox (or any of the other beauty boxes) until I came on this thread. Now I know about them, it's just sooooooo tempting. MUST resist temptation!

No UUs but loads of splutterers and LHJs. Quite disheartening really!

I must admit, I managed to resist until July this year when Livingsocial had an offer where you could get 6 months Birchbox subscription half price. Some of the products are a bit of a dud but I've managed to find my HG makeup primer through it (and got the full size free because of the all the birchbox points I had). Plus I'm not buying myself anything else toiletry wise so it's nice to have a treat once a month. Not sure if I'll be re-purchasing once the next 6 months are done but we'll wait and see.

Have another UU to report:

Oral B 3D Brilliance toothpaste - can't really say much about this, I just buy whatever toothpaste is on offer!

So sorry to hear about that young man taking his life Rosemary, thoughts are with him and his family. Hope your cold sore goes soon.

Hope everyone else is well, glad you're starting to feel better sundays girl. Very jealous of that lovely lush present oxford owl!

Just a few quick OUTS for an emergency christmas present (this is why having a stash can be helpful at this time of year) :rotfl: -

191-192 - 2 sanctuary products
193 - Barry M glitter nail varnish

The past few years I have bought the big Sanctuary gift box in the Boots sale. I realised today that over the year I have gifted most of last years box and not actually used any of the stuff myself!! Not sure whether to get it this year. It is helpful to have products in that can be given to people if needed and probably cheaper than buying all the products at full price but seems a shame that I haven't actually used them myself. Now my stash is so small, I may buy again this year and actually get to round to using the things myself!

TheOxfordOwl

Two more UUs to offset my present!

22. John Frieda Brilliant Brunette shampoo - WNBA, they've changed the formula of this and the scent is not as nice….
23. NSpa Peach body butter - WMBA, really nice scent and texture.

Clutterfree

Okay ladies, at risk of getting shot, what is a bubble bar please?
I'm guessing it is Lush related as I don't shop there because I think they're expensive. Thanks.

Rosemary, sorry about your sons friend. How is your son doing?


Also, I spy with my little eye someone beginning with K on the Molton Brown thread...! :rotfl:
