No buying unnecessary toiletries in January 2014

seasideDreamer

Another 2 UUs
Fruity strawberry body lotion, like the shower gel this was suprisingly good, very impressed.
Right Guard Xtreme Dry

Will need to visit the £1 shops at the weekend to buy some new deodrant whilst they have the Xtreme ones in as I don't have any stashed. An IN today in the form of a sun cream, we only have the sprays which i don't like and are off to the snow next month so it was needed, not now but just got it whilst I remembered really.

Ops I just forgot that my Boots Extracts cocoa butter and cranberry gift sets my sis got me in the sale arrived as well...off to update my spreadsheet yet again!

I agree Kiwisaver and Dolly you both make very good points about younger girls and beauty youtubers being like more accessible celebrities.

Hmm I'm not sure how I'm going to get over this issue. I think I am going to have to start budgeting properly (which I should be doing anyway) and allowing myself a small amount of 'treat' money a month.

Treat money is a good idea Never thought of that, might do this too x

Hope you all had a great weekend ladies.

A few UU to report:

Mouthwash

Sure deo spray - WBA DH HG

Lush Dragons egg - WBA as DD loves these but this one didnt seem as fragrant as usual.

Crazy soap bath paint Red - DD used the last of this tonight - WMBA.

Garnier moisture match dull skin - WMBA this was the last sachet from my trial pack and ive been impressed with all 3 varients.

Champneys mediterranean bliss body butter 50g - WNBA although I dont mind the fragrance I dont love it.

Bliv off with their heads blackhead remover - WNBA this was a tiny sample from a beauty box didnt seem to do anything.

Etat pur purifying mask - WNBA this was the final application from the tube and im glad to be rid. It stank and didnt seem to do much.

6 sample foundation sachets from magazines given to my sister as she has darker skin than mine.

In.

My skin is in poor condition at the moment with breakouts on an almost daily basis. I have very pale skin so the red marks remain for a while after the spot has gone. I am in search of a foundation with higher coverage than my current Clarins extra firming foundation. In have used the everlasting variant in the past but found it settled in my lines which wasnt a good look. So to get to the point eventually I braved the Clinique counter and got a sample of their ever matte foundation.

Hi All,

One busy weekend and I'd four pages to catch up on! I've never stopped over the last couple of days as helping brother clean/move into his new house and also getting my bathroom cleared ready for work to start today - sat here waiting for the builders as I type! Excited but strangely nervous too, wish I could just fast forward a week's time to a shiny new fabulous bathroom in which to pamper myself. :j Looks as though I've got a cold for my trouble too, there was no heating for the first day and a half as the boiler had decided to pack up while my brother's house had been empty for the last few months.... All sorted now though! :T

I've a few UU to declare:

Balance Me Moisture Rich Face Cream - WBA - lovely and rich as the name would suggest!

L'Oreal Preference Conditioner - WBA - comes with hair colour which is HG

S & G Off Your Face wipes - WNBA - pre-challenge I always used to use wipes but now I prefer cream cleanser as find the wipes quite drying and sometimes a little irritating - I don't even find them that much more convenient for travelling as all you need is a small tube of cleanser and some cotton wool or a muslin cloth.

Also, I bought a No. 7 skincare set in the sales, only to later realise that I badly react to P&P Day/Night Cream! So that's four out into the present stash. Wasn't really needed anyway of course so not a bad result, have been saved from myself!!

Morning ladies, hope everyone's well. I'm afraid I'm struggling to keep up with the thread lately, having to read and run - work, gym and wedding planning (don't get me started! :mad:) have left me with very little free time.

emsjune - exciting stuff about your bathroom - the mess and disruption for a brief period will all be worth it once it's finished

Following my visit to Mr B to collect my online orders at the weekend I have movement:

12 of my declared INs were cancelled, taking me back down to 19. My perfume set finally turned up so:

INs:
20. D&G Desire The One EDP 50ml
21. D&G Desire The One body lotion 100ml

Paid with points!

I have several items STILL spluttering so hoping for lots of UUs by the end of this week!

mrs-moneypenny

morning all
some ins to declare.
i bought a serum, a day cream and a night cream from Aldi, to add to stock pile. (thank you to the Op who said they may be discontinued from regular stock)
bought a couple of nip and fab toiletry sets RTC in tesco bt they dont really count as they are to be put away as gifts.

gave DD3 the hair elasticiser i won last week so thats gone also used up a tub of sanctuary body butter.

am working through a tub of cheap body scrub - its not very scrubby and feels really cold and gloopy so ill be glad when its gone. only redeeming factor is it smells nice.

I have been growing my hair and it has been getting curlier and wavier the longer it grows, I have never had curly hair in my life apart from one perm many years ago as a teen. I have stopped battling with it now and am letting it go curly, it looks better than drying it straight and then having it look a frizzy mess as it tries to go back into curls.

I am not really sure what is going on with it, does anyone think the colour I have on it could be responsible, last August I had a full head of non bleach highlights and had the roots done this month?

I've never heard of anyone going curly from a colour though.

I have a uu

Pai Macadamia & Rose Dry Skin Cream - 5ml, too rich for me so WNBA for that reason.

Ups and downs…

INs
13. Origins Never a Dull Moment Brightening Face Wash 150ml
14. Origins A Perfect World Serum 7ml
15. Origins A Perfect World moisturiser sample
16. Origins Modern Friction 15ml
17. Origins Dr Weil Dark Circle Treatment 1.5ml

Outs
13. Burts Bees Beeswax lip balm - WNBA, didn't like the menthol
14. Snow Fairy Sparkle massage bar - TA, hated the scent and the texture and the fact that it dyed everything you touched bright pink.
15. Amandopondo bubble bar - WDBA, HG bubble bar.
16. Star Light Star Bright bath melt - WNBA, disappointingly unglittery and non-colouring.
17. You've Been Mangoed bath melt - WNBA, but would happily use if it was a gift.

his_missus

some UUs to report.

The enormous bottle of tresemme shampoo is finally a goner! Never again will I buy such a huge bottle no matter how cheap it is
Small B&H body scrub is now empty and in the bin. Not much scrubbing effect, WNBA!
