No buying unnecessary toiletries February 2014

SarahB1989_2

2 outs to finish off the month.

1UU: Good Things Deep Pore cleanser/toner, WBA but will see what I have in the stash for toners.
1TA: Beauticology Candy Scrub. Absolutely no scrubbiness at all! Have emailed Baylis & Harding to complain that it's rubbish.

Clutterfree

I nearly bought some Beauticology products thinking they were Philosophy items. The packaging is so similar but from the reviews on here, it looks like that's where the similarity ends!

I'm 11 down for February, no much but it's going in the right direction.

I also ordered the Revitalash TSV but won't be adding to my list as it's unlikely an item I will stash!

**tracey**

Hope you enjoy the Russell Howard show VALM, I am going to see him in Belfast on 8th March. Really looking forward to that.

I have a few uu's to report

Mouthwash - wba, it was ok but I can't remember what brand it was. Just whatever was on offer when I did my shopping.

Nivea facewipes - wnba, these were quite nice but I do not use facewipes normally. They were part of a present.

Also I have sold 3 Liz Earle items.

Perfume

2 x Hollister Laguna beach body sprays
Kate moss perfume


Therefore 33 general products to use up PLUS 31 nail polishes= 64 products on the hit list!

Those in Red are products I've used up this month, those in pink are either on their way out or regularly in use.

I've only purchased 1 thing this month and that was a LUSH lip scrub in Mint Julips, which I would argue to be necessary as I didn't own any before, my lips are very dry and cracked and it's enabled me to wear lipstick all month :j

So in summary I feel like I've been really good this month :A and would say that for me, no unnecessary purchases have been made and I will certainly be back in again for march :T

Babafette

I hope I'm not treading on anybody's toes, but I've started the new thread for March 2014 here. I also added Project Pan to the jargon list.

A vote for John Bishop and Jack Dee for me - and a strange thing for Ade Edmundson - just looking at him makes me laugh he doesnt have to say anything funny.

No help from me on your polish problem - I am a fully fledged polishoholic.

7 ebay outs

UU

100ml DKNY be delicious body lotion - WNBA would use again if gifted but not really very moisturising.

Dove visible effects moisturising lotion - WNBA this was perfectly pleasant to use and moisturising but there are others I prefer.

Clarins everlasting compact foundation in nude - WMBA I am struggling with foundation at the moment I need coverage due to hormonal acne but products that are too heavy seem to emphasise my lines, will continue my search for HG.

sachet of VAV manicure cream - heaven knows why I didnt just use it when I received it rather than stashing but its safe to say WNBA as it was vile - imagine lemon scented cigarette smoke - not a great fragrance for hands.

VALM

Oh Richard, yes please.

I'm a bit of a comedy geek so I have quite a few crushes...

Go on then, who else?


I really like David Mitchell as well though only his humour. Don't find him attractive. I do however love the sound of Robert Webb's voice which I accept is a bit weird. He does a lot of voice overs on shows about movie bloopers now.

nobody actually needs serum!

Nobody needs several gallons of shower gel, an ocean of body lotion, a river of perfume etc. However, I have all that and more besides! :eek:

We all have needs noelphobic.

Ohh have fun watching Russell Howard VAL we went to see him in Manchester the Christmas before last I think it was now and it was fab! My ultimate favourite though has to be Kevin Bridges, he is hiliarious, went to see him in Liverpool last year, soo funny!

I saw him then too emsjune - The Right Here Right Now Tour?

Have a good time with Russell Howard VALM, unfortunately he neither does it for me in looks or humour. My favourite comedians for comedy alone are Lee Mack, Stephen K Amos and Peter Kay. Being a fellow northener Peter Kay really has me :rotfl:as there are things which are true to the north more than anywhere else. I am really looking forward to the new Jonathan Creek tonight, I love Alan Davies and just adore J Creek.

I have my final uu for the month

Body Shop Mango Body Butter - 50ml, WDBA

That brings me to 35 uu/outs and not one single in paid for or otherwise.

Now I like Lee Mack. Especially like watching him on Would I Lie to You? with David Mitchell. Don't know who Stephen K Amos is. Not a fan of Peter Kay though sorry. Even though I'm a Northerner as well. Saw him at the MEN just before I saw Russ last time and he used a lot of very old material. Horses for courses though.

PP list completed! :T

6 UUs in total.

Avon curly hair serum - WNBA as I've not had curly hair for years!

Akin hand cream - WMBA but have others in stash. Liked this as it was non greasy.

Batiste Diva dry shampoo - WNBA don't tend to yes dry shampoos but won this in a competition. Leaves my hair dull with a dusty tinge. Nut a good look!

Pecksniffs perfume Classic Chypre - WNBA as not keen on smell so glad it's gone.

Calvin Klein Secret Obsession perfume sample - WNBA took me back to the 90's when I used to wear Obsession.
There are other perfumes I prefer to this, but if received it as a gift I'd happily wear it.

Ted Baker Butterfly Wings body wash - WMBA loved the fragrance but even with a shower net I didn't think it lathered as well as my usual shower gels. (May have already declared this but forgot to remove from list!)

4 INs

Alpha H TSV
This Works In Transit Cleansing Pads

Well done on completing your PP list. I don't know about anyone else but I find it really satisfying now to make a list and see them crossed off. I know, I need to get out more :rotfl:

This is one of the products left on my PP list. I'm glad you're enjoying using it. I found it really useless but then I don't think I needed it. I think I bought it on a whim when I was in Lush with Emma one time.

Speaking of which this is exactly what I did last night at the Fashion Show. There was a stall there selling Body Shop products all at half price or less. I bought:-

BB Cream
Tea Tree Facial Wash
Corn 3in1 Scrub mask
Strawberry Body Polish.

I can't remember the individual prices but all four totalled £17.50 and they should have been £37.00 so very pleased. Emma loves the Body Polish and is nearly out of Exfotonic. She has the Seaweed facial wash but wants to try the Tea Tree. And anything else that will get her to wash more vigerously and not use foundation is a bonus. I'm not counting these as INs in my stash as I won't use them but I will put the price total on my spreadsheet for amount spend over the month.
