No buying unnecessary toiletries in January 2014

I got the Soap & Glory Boots voucher in the post yesterday but haven't opened it yet. Not sure if I'll use it though as I don't have anything I need from them.

this is me to a T when I look at the amount of money sitting in everything I own it's frightening.

Once when I was bored I totted up the cost of my nail polish box and it came to about £200 :eek: Admittedly some of them were bought as presents but frankly that's a ridiculous amount of money!

had a non puter day yesterday, so wasnt about had a quick catch up but cant remember who said, used up, bought or liked anything sorry.

decided id better look after my face a bit better after the abuse it got with the ood cleanser. so i treated it to a mask yesterday, some serum and moisturiser and gave make up a miss all day. feels a lot better now.

havent managed to use anything else up as the mask was from a tube that still got more in.

Two UUs for me yesterday:

The Body Shop Chocomania Shower Cream - WNBA. This was absolutely vile. The smell was seriously unpleasant to me, and since I got it as part of a gift set, there's still a body scrub (maybe, as it rinses off) and body cream (no way!) around! It smelled like chocolate that had gone off, mixed with dirty laundry or B.O or something. :eek: I was so relieved to be able to open a nice new Molton Brown bottle this morning.

BeeProtX Beeswax hand cream - I bought this at Crufts, of all places! It moisturises well, but I could only use it overnight as it leaves a residue on the hands that takes a long time to sink in. Probably WNBA, but I think it would work well for anyone with cracked or very dry hands.

Sending my Mum some fancy face goo samples to try. I have lots of lovely things and I suspect these are too heavy for me: various types shiseido; redermic, L'Occitane; Vichy...6 in total.

Total OUTs 20

Sachet Estee Lauder Advanced night repair - WNBA Alas didnt awake looking 10 years younger - have a couple more sachets to go but dont think I will be investing in this anytime soon.

Have painted my nails with Cirque - lonesome George - a green holo polish (if there is anyone in the world other than me who loves green polish!)

That's nice! I hope she likes them. I'm sending my mum a sample of Benefit's They're Real mascara. I got two little ones in some Benefit gift sets and she saw me using one and was impressed with it. She ordered one off of ebay but it must have been really old as it was horrible. Hopefully it will be a nice little surprise for her when it arrives! (Can't declare it is an out though as I'm not including make up in my list)

Would be lovely if any newbies or anyone else wants to list theirs because I'm a nosey so and so!

Me too - and to have a nosey as to what everyone else rates! Will do once I get a spare 10 mins...

kadison

Well, I was expecting some more INs but it's not to be, I found the Nails Inc. TSV quite disappointing so I'm returning it

They must have only just changed this, That is really bad, what is Ebay doing.....

It's not a new change, sellers haven't been able to leave negative feedback for years, it's all so one-sided on behalf of the buyers, they can do whatever they want now with no comeback whatsoever :mad:

It's my fave kadison although if they ever re-release Pumpkin Spiced Muffin I would switch back. You may not like this one though as it's stronger. I do though tend to like all Philosophy shower gels except the red coloured ones (of which I've tried a few) as they have smelt synthetic. Maybe it's the colouring in them?

I'm on Buttered Rum Cake now and prefer the smell of that, though I do much prefer ones like mimosa, with a bit more zing.
