No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2013

SmarterNotHarder

Hi I'm back in if that's ok? Thank you for the thread start KT

I've been MIA for November and part of october, Birthdays, life holidays got in the way, don't think I've had any UUs or INs in all that time though so hey ho

popping in to report a TA today - one of those silly tiny loofah things thats too small to be of any use. Must've come with a gift set at some point. Had it for years, then had an epiphany and wondered why I was still hanging on to it?

And yes. I'm counting "accessories" as I seem to have developed quite a collection of these too and still when walking past the dreaded aisles think "ooh thse scrubby gloves/moisturising socks/nailbrush look nice, and/or are on offer, shall I pop them in the basket?"

Please tell me I'm not the only one?

Hope there is good news about your son Rosemary.

UU

Elemis for men face wash - WBA DH likes it and its also handy for taking advantage of the numerous free gifts Elemis offer.

Boots cotton Wool pads - WBA

Colgate max night toothpaste - WBA love how minty this is.

Palmolive mediteranean moments shower gel - WBA was cheap, foamy and smelled pleasant the only downside was the fragrance didnt linger.

Stuggling with a PP list this month so will start with these:

Miller and Harris shower gel - its been in my stash quite a while so want to use before its off. UU

Miller and Harris body lotion - as above UU

Miller and Harris mini perfume - as above UU

Clarins lotus oil - I like this but its everlasting UU

J&J baby naturals body cream - stash relic and my last one. UU

10ml Stella roller ball - another stash relic that I found in an evening handbag and on the verge of being past it.

Clarins tonic treatment oil - My DD nicknamed this 'granny' and that sums up how I feel about it. Although moisturising I dislike the smell so I do not like using it - this will be hard going and probably a LHJ! UU

Hello all!

rosemary54 - I hope your son's op went ok xx

VALM - TBH a lot of outs were GAs not UUs, so perhaps a little cheating?

I have to confess, I've just ordered the big Lancome beauty box. I had £73 worth of Boots points thanks to various glitches so I bought a £22.50 cleanser to get the box for £50, so really it didn't cost me any 'money' :D:D

I decided it was ok to get it since no-one spoils me except me (and sometimes Boots review panel), so sod it, life's too short and it'll make me happy!

I need to decide now whether to wrap it and open it on Xmas day or use it now.......

^ Good for you kadison - if you can afford it then why not? I vote for wrapping and opening on Christmas Day

I seem to be on a bit of a roll and gave another two UUs this morning:

3. Ted Baker Bidy Souffl! 300ml - WNBA, nice enough consistency but the scent was a bit too subtle for my liking.

4. Sure Crystal Diamond APD 250ml - WMBA but not for a while as I have found the max compact version to be much more effective. Whilst it's pricey, given how quickly I got through this spray I think that it probably works out better value for me. I have another aerosol in the stash which I will use first, then I'll stick to the compact.

Hi all.

Have another uu

Clinique All About Eyes 7ml - I really like this and have replaced it with a 5ml pot.

thanks for all the good vibes ladies,the surgeon called last night from California and said all had gone well and DS1 has since messaged us to say some discomfort but not too bad.The worst is to come for him I think as his jaw will be wired for 4 weeks so no Christmas dinner
he will be a girls dream man.....a man who cannot answer back!!!!


am enjoying my shellaced (? spelling)nails in subtle bronze sparkle,getting them changed to rock star red next week,very pretty for Christmas ,did want them done later but salon full the week after!

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.

Hi, we are kept in the dark as much as anyone else about what the plans are for a sale, but if we do have one it will probably start on boxing day, not sure if it is online too but I am assuming so

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


Aussie Mega Shampoo 300ml
Aussie Mega Conditioner 250ml
L'Occitane Cherry Blossom Shower Gel 250ml
Atrixo Enriched moisturising cream 200ml
Nivea Soft moisturising lotion 200ml
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)


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

Good PP lists guys, I will have pretty much the same stuff on mine but I should see most of it gone with a real push this month :T

Well if they are a problem area of your stash then yes count them in :T
I'm sure ur not the only one
I don't really count make up and toothpaste stuff even though I list them as I don't consider them problems.
Shower gels and bath bombs however are another matter....:rotfl:


I am making my PP list today, and I've got quite a few things listed on ebay, several with bids on at the moment so here's hoping for a bigger dent in my stash before Christmas, still got quite a few things to list....:eek:
