No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2013

VALM

I'm back in. Was pretty pleased with my totals for November :-

7 UUs
6 INs (though only 4 as 2 were exclusively for Emma to use)
7 OUTs in the form of gifts.

1 UU to report already for December which is my bar of Lush Porridge soap. Am hoping to get onto the Lush onsite sale early to stock up in the Jan sales. Any Lush SAs who can give me a heads up it would be appreciated.

My Project Pan list had gone down from 19 products to 5 so very pleased with that.

Have added more items to it for this month and my list now is:-

Cutex nail polish remover
Elemis Eye Renewal Serum
Decleor Herbal Clay mask
Origins eye serum
Mark Hill Straightening serum

These were on the original list so I am adding:-

L'Occitane verbena hand cream (only a small tube in my handbag)
Elemis PCMC 30ml
Philosophy Pumpkin Pie shower gel (big size)
LE C&P 200ml that Emma and I are sharing. It's squishy at the moment so not sure how many uses left in it.

please hold DS1 in your thoughts today ladies, he lives in San Francisco and is having surgery today so a bit stressed as cannot be near him.

My thoughts are with you and your son rosemary.

So have these three days off work and will be heading into Manchester shortly to the Christmas markets. Anyone know if the Boots online offers are available instore too? Am thinking of getting a bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy from there if they are.

Two UUs to kick off the month!
1. Bohemian soap, 100g. WNBA, not my favourite scent.
2. Pink Owl lipbalm. WNBA, cute but sticky.

Hope everyone is well!

Lots of positive thoughts for your DS1 and for you too of course, it must be so hard for you being so far away. Take care.x

Poor you rosemary - hope all goes well.

I have my first UU of the month:

1. TBS Absinthe Purifying Hand Cream 30ml - WMBA, love the scent and nicely moisturising but I got through this very quickly given the price and also found it hard to squeeze the last bits out thanks to the metal tube. No need to repurchase any time soon as I have several more from the recent offer - and will therefore be replacing with same!

I'm in again, almost been a year now and I must say, things look a lot better. I still have more body butter than one woman can ever use though!

A few OUTs to start the month:

1 - vaseline aloe copressed deo spray - would buy again. Worked enough, cheap enough, didn't irritate me or smell too strong.
2/3/4 - massage bar/ lip gloss/ eye shaddow sent as a present bundle to a thrifty friend, we are both being thrifty with eachother so it's OK...and some vitamins too. Lol.

Arrived home to my first IN of the month:

1. La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo 3ml (NBI)

I also placed a small Kiehl's order today since they're offering decent samples of a few items on my "to try" wish list not the best but at least it saves me from full-size (and full-price) INs!

Hope everything went well rosemary.

UU's
Lush the joy of jelly WBA so sad to see this go loved the scent.

S&g shampoo WMBA it actually was okay, still not a great fan of the scent

Dreamers bath bomb WNBA it was broken when it arrived, it was nice enough.
GA
Another item to my sister for Christmas, I forgot that she read this thread so she is aware of a few things put in her advent.

INS
Blistese intensive lip treatment, this was for an advent my sister gave me which I was not expecting. Today's was a pot of pineapple pieces in fruit juice, interesting but lovely I had it with my tea.

rosemary54 - sending positive vibes to your son.


I'm so annoyed with myself as I had a list of items which I'd UU, but I now can't find it! I'll try to look at my list and go from there, but I've also lost my original list... :wall:


So, here are my UUs!


2) White Company Shampoo 30ml - was in a hotel room WNBA but would happily use again.
3) L'Occitane Milk Concentrate body lotion 8ml - GWP. WBA - it was lovely!
4) L'Occitane 20% Shea hand lotion 10ml - GWP. WBA - divine!
5) Scottish Fine Soaps Celestial body wash - was a gift from a friend. It was divine.


Unfortunately, I have a few INs but because we were away at the weekend in hotels. I'll update them once I can find this lost list!!!


I'd also like a Project Pan challenge for December. So, I'd like to add the following to my PP list:


[STRIKE]Aussie Mega Shampoo 300ml[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Aussie Mega Conditioner 250ml[/STRIKE] UU 6/12/13
[STRIKE]L'Occitane Cherry Blossom Shower Gel 250ml[/STRIKE]
Atrixo Enriched moisturising cream 200ml
[STRIKE]Nivea Soft moisturising lotion 200ml[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Simple facial wash gel 150ml (this stuff seems to last forever and I don't particularly enjoy it, BUT I spent money on it aaages ago and I've used other products since then)[/STRIKE] UU 6/12/13


There are more, but these are the ones I'd like to try to concentrate on using!

Forgot to list my UU/TA from this morning:

2. No7 Natural Blush Cheek Colour in Coral Flush 5g. WBA as this is very well pigmented for the price but maybe in a different shade as this wasn't quite right. V annoyed with myself, I had worn it down to just the remnants around the rim of the pan and all was fine until I dropped it whilst getting ready and it crumbled into too many pieces to carry on using! I have replaced with a Clinique GWP blusher in a softer shade for winter.

Rosemary, how are you doing?

Any news on your son yet?
I suppose with the time difference it may still be too early yet.

I bet it's been a very long day for you.
