No buying unnecessary toiletries in January 2014

A UU for me S&G hand food mini. Speaking of hand cream, has anyone managed to get a L'Occitane free hand cream set yet? I went yesterday but my local hadn't received any yet, off to try again tomorrow.:money:

Unfortunately the code was only valid yesterday luvlycake.

I think today's code is only for 15% off.

I just picked mine up today (Covent Garden store) so have 3 non-bought ins to report (as if my current hand cream stash wasn't enough ):

25. L'Occitane Shea butter hand cream 10ml
26. L'Occitane Almond hand cream 10ml
27. L'Occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream 10ml

I generally really like L'Occitane products but am yet to try their hand creams, so am very pleased with these

so ended up with 2 UU
2x hot oil treatments (got long hair) have another 2 in my stash and wba once they are done
and a sanctuary youth boosting moisurising body serum - would buy again as it seemed to last for ages but think it would be too expensive to use on a day to day basis but the jurys out on whether i will buy again as still got loads of body lotions to go through before i will need to buy more

Clutterfree

4 INs to report.

In my defence, your Honour, it was only 1 bought in and the other 3 were free samples.

Aromatherapy Associates De-stress Mind bath & shower oil 55ml.

This is usually £39 :eek: but it was in the sale and with a 10% off code I got it for £17.55
It says it does approx 20 baths so at just under £1 a bath I thought it was cheaper than a bath bomb!

The free samples I chose were;

AA Support Equilibrium bath & shower oil 3ml
AA Revive Evening bath &shower oil 3ml
AA Support Breathe bath & shower oil 3ml.

Off to update my list now.

Thanks Maddiemay - I am a night owl anyway but I just don't have the time during the day to catch up on here.



Thanks emsjune - what a lovely offer but I have to say I am not loving it either and the bf says he can't stand the smell too!. Oh and I can't wait to see the new bathroom pics.

Happy birthday littlepinkstars - enjoy using your fab gifts.

Still no other movement on the PP list.

Ha ha no worries, I initially liked the spa like smell of the Balance Me handcream but then I found it really overpowering and it actually gave me a headache!!

emsjune - if you upload your photos to photobucket and follow the instructions you can share them on here. I managed it without any real idea how to do it so I have no doubt at all that you will be able to work it out too.

Parisian - I have the Raspberry Glazed shower gel and it is so gorgeous, it is more than just raspberry scented it is so warming and sweet.

VALM - I like the Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara - it does exactly what it says.

To remove eye makeup I like Clinique Take the day off, Clarins Instant or for a budget choice the Garnier 2 in 1.

I cracked open a bottle of BS Satsuma shower gel and matching body butter this morning and me and my bathroom still smell like freshly squeezed oranges, what lovely products.

Thank you very much for the tip about photobucket, I'll give it a whirl!

I've two UU and three IN today - one of them was actually from a few days ago but I forgot about it, all too easily...

UU -
TBS Satsuma Shower Gel - WBA - Pleasant enough, remember loving it more last time I used it but think its maybe more of a summer fragrance if that make sense!

Botanics All Bright Hand Cream - WBA - Nice, good value and sinks in quickly. Also a small enough tube for me not to get bored sick of it and easily cut up to get the dregs :money:

IN -

Lee Stafford Dry Shampoo in Dark - a necessity while the bathroom was out of action and my roots needed doing! :eek:

Also got today VO5 Smoothly Does It Shampoo & Conditioner from HBs tonight, have been looking out for this as not been in here or £land lately - possibly as slightly changed packaging (although not the bottle itself) and I'm assuming this was what used to be called Gloss Me Smoothly - I do like to alternate it between L'Oreal Everpure, although I'm using Eversleek at the moment - works out cheaper this way too!

I've had way too many IN than I can truly justify for Jan but the UU are still in the lead so that's something :T I'll go for a Frugal Febuary in terms of spending on toiletries as I'm after a new car but will still most definitely fit some serious pampering in as have bath bombs galore crying out to be used

poppy_f1

omg just started tallying up the stash and i am shocked - havent even started on the stuff in the bathroom or make up yet
think i am gonna be having some serious pampering sessions this year to get rid of most of this - one thing i need to learn is stop buying more soap and glory stuff specially sets that i dont use up the stuff as quickly

Nails inc have had a different code each day of January valid for 24 hours - codes are on their facebook page - yesterdays was for 50% off but it ended at midnight (todays is 15%)

I managed to resist - but only just. I have so many untried polishes in my stash I should at least try to sample a few before buying more (with so many varieties available I find this a huge challenge!).
