No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2013
Comments
-
Babafette - I used to absolutely LOVE Buffy! I would buy multiples when I was at uni - the only thing that smoothed out my pins. There really wasn't much exfoliating stuff on the market at that time apart from Sanctuary scrubs/high end stuff.
I agree with suzitiger - go for it0 -
Hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas. I hope the people without power are sorted soon, I could cope with that but I am thinking of the poor folks who are flooded, it must be heartbreaking.
I have two uu

Elemis Skin Nourishing Shower Cream - 50ml
Also ins

:santa2:Merry Christmas everyone! :rudolf:
Made it through Christmas day with no INs - now just to get through the next week of catch-ups and hope people haven't bought me any toiletries!0 -
Good morning ladies, hope that all is well with you, beautiful sunny morning and OH has gone cycling and I am lazing, need a sharp kick though!
My Christmas IN's:-
250ml The White Company Vervaine Hand & Nail Cream, I love this fragrance, so for a little while it will be a PRC while I use up some mundane stuff and an already opened White Company I another fragrance.
473ml Bliss Grapefruit & Aloe Soapy Suds BW & bubbling bath.
Both from my bestie and I am delighted to receive them.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
Hope everyone is well. I'm having such a lazy day today!
UUs:
16. Hello Kitty Liberty body scrub 200ml - WNBA, this was wholly ineffective and served only to make a horrid gloopy mess of my shower!
17. Sure APD Crystal Clear Diamond 250ml - WMBA but prefer the Max Protect sticks
18. S&G Glad Hair Day conditioner 250ml - WBA
19. L'Occitane Angelica Water eye roll-on - WNBA, this was on my PP list; I used about 4/5 of this and it was open for way longer than the 3 months advised so I TA. Didn't see any real benefits to using this, though it was soothing in summer when I suffered from hayfever.
And the gifted INs:
17. S&G Glad Hair Day shampoo 250ml
18. S&G Glad Hair Day conditioner 250ml
19. S&G Scrub of Your Life 200ml
20. Original Souce shower gel
21. Aussie Dual Personality mousse
22. Aussie 2in1 shampoo
23. Batiste dry shampoo
24. Body shimmer brush
25. Cranberry soap
26-28. Nail polish set
29-31. Bomb Cosmetics bath bombs
Father Chridtmas was very kind to meand still have several presents still to collect so I am certain of more INs!!

Hope you have all had a great Christmas.
I have had several sets for Christmas and have bought lots of lush. I will move immediately to the naughty chair and live on bread and water for the next 3 months.
I will count items when I am at home or they arrive.0 -

Some lovely gifts and purchases! Love reading those sort of posts. Hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas. I have been shopping :eek: both online and in store. Lots and lots of INS to declare from today and yesterday. Didn't go buy as much as previous years though, mainly because I couldn't find any soap and glory stuff I wanted in Boots :rotfl: did get a lot in Lush though. Will declare them later on when I have got them all in front of me, plus the online stuff once it arrives.Hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas. I hope the people without power are sorted soon, I could cope with that but I am thinking of the poor folks who are flooded, it must be heartbreaking.
