No buying unnecessary toiletries in January 2014

KT2802

Nice to see you Fiasco, I wondered how you were getting on. Hope you're feeling better soon. 1 IN and 1 OUT here both:

Batiste Cherry Dry Shampoo 200ml - used one up and then went and bought a new one! I was waiting to purchase on an offer but haven't seen any recently. Can't be without dry shampoo. This is now making me want to stock up when there next is an offer on!

Opened some Christmas GS so I have some IN’S to declare...

BOOTS ROYAL JELLY INDULGENT WITH EXTRACTS OF PURE HONEY HAND WASH X 100ML X 2
BOOTS ROYAL JELLY INDULGENT WITH EXTRACTS OF PURE HONEY HAND WASH X 50ML X 1
BOOTS ROYAL JELLY INDULGENT WITH EXTRACTS OF PURE HONEY BODY WASH 250ML x 1

It's daft isn't it!!
It also doesn't stop giving me leave feedback reminders for a none payer who deleted their account, my phone beeps at me twice daily telling me to leave feedback when I can't! it's driving me mad!

I think this was the start of the slippery slope for me as far as hoarding toiletries was concerned. I moved house almost a year ago and brought minimal stuff with me (makeup excluded). I have more space to store stuff in the bathroom here and soon started picking up 2for1s and other 'bargains' to fill the cupboards so I didn't need to pay full price for stuff. But then I got into the habit of chucking something beauty-related into my trolley every time I was in the supermarket, or nipping to Boots for one item and coming out with 6 half price things and eleven months later, 230 products are littering the place.

I grudge paying full price for items which are often on offer, but I also grudge the amount of cash I have tied up in my stockpile! There's a happy medium, I'm sure, but I haven't found it yet.

My names Sally and Im officially a hoarder...

Finally gone through all my stuff this afternoon so I could rejoin this thread, taken about 3 hours! Moment of truth...

Over Xmas/Birthday/Jan Sales I have...
70 INs
11 Items found that aren't new but weren't on my list
6 Items TA
4 UU
2 items on my list I know I haven't used but cant find
1 item GA

So in total I have 196 items broken down as the following
34 LUSH products
34 Makeup/Face products inc face masks
31 Bath/Shower products
31 Lotions/Body Butters etc
28 Hair products
20 Fragrance products
18 Nail Polishes

I have included make up stuff as I dont use alot, only really mascara and eyepencils and obviously make up wipes. If its a special occassion I do have foundation and bronzers etc but I dont wear these day to day so the stash is manageable!

Glad to have got that off my chest..phew

Evening Ladies,
One UU today from my PP list...

Caudalie night cream - WMBA, this was very nice but now my skin has improved so much since I've been taking more care of it, I think it is now a little too rich for me. Perhaps if my skin became parched again then I would consider this.

Luckily I don't list make up as I had 2 INs today - both competition wins. A Max Factor mascara and a Max Factor lip stain. :T

I looked at the Nails Inc. auto delivery but none of the colours really interested me so I just bought the TSV.

I was really lusting after this when I first saw the link but having watched it live think there is only one part of the kit that I like being the glittery top coat. I own Victoria already anyway. Was sitting there equating all the colours to ones I already own and as I could do this with 3 of them including Victoria decided it's not worth spending on the whole kit to get half of it to use. One of the colours I don't have is the blue and would have given to Emma but she doesn't like this either so am saved!

Did however repaint my nails last night and am wearing OPI Love & Peace & OPI with Leighton Denny Steel Appeal on my ring fingers. Very pleased with this effect and will do this again rather than wearing SA on all ten digits and hating it. Yay.

Have 2 UUs and one is off my PP list:-

1. Philosophy Pumpkin Pie shower gel. WDBA although will wait until next year and hope it is back on sale. It's been on sale for the last couple of years now so here's hoping it's an annual event. Do actually prefer it's predecessor Pumpkin Spiced Muffin though.

2. OPI Avoplex to Go oil. Would use again if it came in a kit as this one did. Much prefer the full sized bottle. Will use up the LE Superbalm that has been open and was lost for a while under the settee next.

Have 2 items left on PP list and hopefully one of those will be UUed tomorrow as well so not long until I can "treat" myself to something new. I've also been putting money into a jar for each UU equating to £1.00 for each full sized item and 50p for each travel size. Including those items above I have saved £10.00.

I finished an Avoplex to go last week and noticed that the nozzle part was removeable, so managed to prize it off and have filled the container with Creative Cuticle Eraser which I have in a salon size bottle, for those that have not come across it before, it is an AHA cream to be used once/twice a day and is very gentle and does not flare my excema.

Haven't ordered the Nails Inc yet, will try and stay strong:(

One thing I saw at the spa this weekend that had me intrigued was this http://www.spafindskincare.com/products/bodyhydration_saltbrushing.htm Spa Find's salt brushing. Has anyone tried this or anything like this? I'm picking up some epsom salts and dead sea salts as I would like to scent them and use them as detox baths, and wondered if I could use the same salt for this?

Off to catch up with days and days of thread!

Hii Roguey! :T I have the Dead Sea Spa's Salt Brushing and love it! I use it on dry skin or sometimes on slightly damp skin (though water dissolves it so best exfoliating effect when used on dry skin). My skin feels really soft afterwards! A bit messy in comparison to regular exfoliators but I would recommend x
