No buying unnecessary toiletries March 2014

adilade

Hello ladies! I'm not sure if any of you remember me, I graduated some time in 2012 I think! I've been catching up on the past months thread and would like to join again of you don't mind! My stash list atm is about 60 which is way below when I started and even below when I graduated:j I've been using things up and didn't start buying again because I just couldn't afford to. However since then I've abandoned my degree and have moved back home and started 2 jobs. As my parents very kindly aren't asking for much in the way of bills, I've found myself with more disposable income and little to spend it on as most of my friends are still at uni. I can see myself going down the same path and thought prevention is better than cure! Also reading the February and March threads I've realised how much I've missed you friendly people! I hope I can jump in and you will all keep me on the straight and narrow (and point me towards good offers on my HG items )

I won't be counting my ins and outs as such, the aim is to try keep it a 1 in 1 out sort out system. I won't be counting make up or perfumes because my makeup fits into about 2 small bags and I tend to be pretty restrained with it ie I'll buy a mascara when one is finished and I'm not counting perfume because I always get given it as a gift however I do pass on the ones I don't like to friends etc so they don't sit there unloved. I also have a few planned ins, some necessary and some treats. I have resisted lush for over 2 years and was planning to stock up last Christmas but I was working and missed out on the sales so I think it's about time I treated myself to a couple of things I've genuinely missed not having (and don't have duplicates of in the stash!)

I also love the idea of PP and didn't think I had enough items to participate but after having a bit of a rummage I came up with this list. Some have just been hanging around too long and refuse to go and some are HGs that are no longer made so I'm reluctant to part with. But as And would say there's no point keeping them for a special occasion so I'm going to use them up!

PP list:
Nivea care gloss and shine lip gloss
Lacura lip balm
Lush Lemony flutter cuticle butter
S&G Girligo lotion spray
Blistex tinted lip balm
Olay face cream
Clarins mint one step cleanser
Loreal 3 second miracle cleansing oil
Toni and guy heat defence spray
S&G glamalot body spray

I've started spending a bit more on natural skin care hopefully to get me to stick to a routine, but this also means I'm left with skin care products Caroline Hirons would not approve of! I also need to get into the routine of using body lotion because I love the effects I just hate the cold and waiting for it to dry.

Also does anybody have any recommendations for a reasonably cheap eye cream around the £10 mark? The Avon one I have for sensitive eyes makes my eyes stream at random points in the day which is rather annoying!

Lastly I'd like to say congrats to all the lovely ladies who are getting married, belated happy birthdays and hugs to those that need them x

(Apologies for the mammoth post!)

Welcome back adilade

I joined the thread in January 2013 so we must have just missed each other. Sounds like you have been doing amazingly well though. I love this thread too, it's so friendly and I love catching up on it. It's like chatting with a group of friends.

I imagine I will continue posting on here as long as the thread is still going! Unlikely I will graduate anytime soon as I have a make up buying problem!!

Evening all! Two UU to report, Ted Baker Hand cream and Bath and Bodyworks cherry blossom body lotion. Loved the cherry blossom, sad its ran out, will be asking someone to get me more when my stash goes back down a bit I think.

Think I'll save the hand cream tube just incase I go near a C&E store, 18 hand creams in my stash really isn't enough:eek:

Hi, I remember your name too, I lurked for a long time before I got round to posting:D

Dr Organics have an eye cream and a serum around the £10 mark, I haven't tried these, but have liked the few things that I have used. Also Superdrug have eye creams £5ish. Hopefully others will be along to advise of things that they have tried:)

I've been using a Dr Organics rollerball eye cream and, while I've had no problems with it, I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it as it's nothing special tbh. I've still yet to find my HG eye cream, have tried a few (Simple, Good Things, Murad, Yves Rocher to name a few) and been unimpressed on the whole.

Welcome back adilade, nice to meet you.

Forgot to declare an IN - got those three sachets of Manuka venom samples. Currently working my way through them.

First OUT for March is a small bottle of Sanctuary Spa body lotion. This is quite a lot of hard work for a lotion, and have to spend ages rubbing it in. I have another 2 small bottles and one big bottle of it left, feel like I'll be sick of it by the end!

Welcome back! Good to see you again.
There are quite a few of our old friends who no longer post -some are around on FB, so I know they are OK.
I often wander down toiletries aisles. I linger over products. Then I think of the fact that I am trying to de-clutter the bathroom and bedroom, not re-clutter it, and that I would have to confess all on here. That usually stops me.
