No buying unneccessary toiletries May 2014.

mrs-moneypenny

morning all
a couple of UUs to declare
a small tub of Adore body butter, ok but nothing special and its a funny grey colour so it reminded me too much of putty.
small tube of No7 total renewal micro-dermabrasion exfoliator - wba, think it was a freebie bt felt nice scratchy but tiny particles and seems to leave my skin feeling good and clean.

painted my nails last night with a nails inc dark red i got free with a mag ages ago.

UU no 4/. Aussie luscious long shampoo. WMBA I liked this and it smells nice but my hair seemed very tuggy afterwards every time I used it (didn't use conditioner but I don't always and it was rugger than with any other shampoo I've used)

Morning ladies.

Hope everyone had a good bank holiday weekend.

Congratulations Suzitiger Lovely news. Enjoy your honeymoon

Val the following and hannibal are both on my 'to watch list'!

Fizzwhizz and sjprmcsome lovely INS there, lucky ladies!

All the magazine freebies are tempting me this month but I really do not need any more nail polish, I don't like switching up my skincare and I already have a mini porefessional. Keep feeling tempted to subscribe to Birchbox as well but I have resisted.

1 UU from my PP list -

Two UU! Wahoo!

Coconut Oil WBA - brilliant for everything really.
Steam Cream WNBA - came from a beauty box and has been lying around for ages. Finally used it up as a body lotion.

Which leads me to the fact that I have finished all my body lotions. I was thinking about which lotion to buy and then thought I should probably look through a little (massive) bag where I throw all my sample sachets and have come across a mountain of samples that I need to use up! I don't really want to add them to my stash list as it's so disheartening, so hopefully I can just start cracking through them.

A UU - Time Delay facial exfoliator, cut the tube up last week to get into it. Really like this so MWBA but as per usual have plenty in the stash to use first

Hello pirateyqueen! :wave:

I love your no more goo hoarding sig

Well done for being out of body lotion :T That feat is going to take me years! :rotfl:

The upside of finding the samples is that you might stumble across something that you really love and it can be your first new fullsize replacement


A UU for me at last and from my PP list:

134. Caudalie Radiance Day Fluid SPF 15 (S 10ml) - WBA and I have a fullsize ready and waiting once I've got through some other day creams. (It's not perfect but most SPFs make my skin oily and cross and this wasn't too bad).

Some ins to declare but I didn't buy them!

went into lush to buy a face mask because other half fancied trying one with me (he doesn't mind doing 'girly' things) they didn't have the one we wanted left in stock in a pot so they got me 2 samples from what they had so were going to just use them instead of buying

also got 5 hand cream samples from boux avenue, we were stood in a queue and the staff started handing out little goody bags of rock sweets and hand cream, not complaining!

Hi all,

Not posted in a while but have been working my way through my ever-decreasing stash. Today I had to buy hairspray & gel spray and I've ordered 2 shampoo and 2 conditioners to come with my grocery delivery on Thurs because I've almost run out of all of them and have no spares hidden away

I've also used up a couple of shower gels and body lotions during April. Must do a new inventory and see how I'm doing

I'm doing quite well for UU's already this month. I've been concentrating on my hoard of sachets, samples and minis so feeling pretty good about reducing my stash a bit

I did buy a face wash but I'll need this as the one I'm working on only has a week or so left in it and no more in the stash so a necessary IN. I'm really going for no more purchases this month, I honestly don't need anything else and have (many) replacements for anything that might run out. I think I have enough body butter, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner to last until Christmas!
