No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2014

Thanks for the new thread Clutterfree


My UU rate for the past couple of months has been at a snails pace and I have hardly been buying anything, so hopefully I will start to see some reductions this month.

If you haven't had Aldi eye cream before, if your eyes are at all sensitive don't get it. I gave mine away.

Oh really:( I'd heard good things about the whole range. I haven't had a chance to buy any yet. I think I've only one eye cream in my stash so thought I'd get some.

How exciting kadison!

I got off to a flying start for the month with a few UUs yesterday:

119. Champneys Distant Shore Body Scrub 50g - WNBA though would use if reeived in a gift set, as this was. Scent was ok but bit too sweet (though I like the body butter inthis range) and not quite scrubby enough for me.

120. Sanctuary Radiant Skin Exfoliator 100ml - this was a real LHJ! WMBA but undecided whether it's just a bit too harshly scrubby for my face. I have a few other face scrubs stashedso no need to repurchase anytime soon anyway.

121. John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Intensive Mask 25ml - WMBA as a treat, but poor VfM in my opinion. Does leave my hair feeling super soft though.

I've added my PP to my oening post - targeting sachets and minis this month on the whole as I have a few nights away from home over the next week.

I have a confession (and YES I know it's only the 2nd of the month!).


In my current obsession with Hot Cloth Cleaners, I placed a cheeky bid on Ebay for some Vie 7th Heaven Cleansing Balm, 3 x 100ml, worth about £48, I won the auction, £8 including postage.


I have read some really good reviews for this stuff and whilst I know they are no longer in business this was too good an offer to miss out on!


I WILL do better!


Hopefully be back later with my stash list, absolutely dreading seeing it all in black and white!!

321, that does sound like a real bargain but I think I would be scared to try it, just in case I loved it and couldn't get any more. You're a brave lady :rotfl:

kadison, patience is a virtue, although not one I possess :A Maybe you could spend the next few days pampering yourself silly, so you look and feel your best for your date, and clock up a few UU while you're at it? Win-win!

I opened the Palmers bust cream last night -- for the record, I never intended to use it as instructed, having fed three babies and lost nearly five stone, it'll take a lot more than some cream to perk up my tatas :rotfl: but it was on sale for £1 a tube before Xmas in my Sainsbobs and I thought it'd do fine as a body cream.

First off, it smells really funky _pale_ not off, but the scent is definitely unappealing. I rubbed some into my hands and it was SOOOO sticky, it honestly felt like I'd put glue on them :eek: And then about 30 seconds later it was just… gone. No residue, no greasiness, it didn't feel as though I had put anything on at all. Bizarro. Unforunately, my hands didn't feel moisturised either.

I've never used anything like it and tbh, I'm not sure I can face ploughing my way through 250ml of the stuff -- I bought two tubes, natch, can't pass up on a "bargain"

Eta, just tried it on my feet and they're now stuck to my slippers :rotfl:

Good luck with the dating Kadison.

Fizzwhizz - oh dear, hope you don't have furry slippers or your feet will be furry.

Glad to be of service *doffs cap* We have two girls doing some GCSE's (year 10) and one boy doing mainly GCSEs and one A Level (year 11) so I completely understand where you're coming from. Hang on in there! xx

dolly, my feet are already furry :eek: :rotfl:

I have the Clarins one, I've had no kids but my chesticles are still very far south of where I think they ought to be!

I've texted him asking if he fancies dinner sometime this week, won't hear until later as I don't think he checks his phone at work.
