No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2014

Sundaysgirl

Morning ladies, I have a UU to report from my gym bag last night:

4/122. S&G Clean on Me shower gel 75ml - WMBA, did the job but others I prefer. I'm actually starting to run low(ish) in mini shower gels so need to start thinking about saving the bottles in order to decant when the time comes.

Ugh so tired today - been up since 3ish for my stupid o'clock flight this morning, so had under 4 hours sleep. And I'm really not a morning person!! Upside, however, is that I CBA to check out duty free

FizzWhizz your post really made me giggle - your OH sounds about as subtle as mine, really has a way with words

kadison good luck on your date tonight, we're expecting to hear all about it (and him!) though, you do realise?!

Hello I have been meaning to join month after month as I have so many toiletries & things but I have yet to properly! I lurk now & again on the thread though and I must admit I'm using stuff up in full before buying anything new (unless odd bits I use that are expensive I get a very good offer on, but this is rare!!) so although I'm not following properly thank you

Welcome :hello: Sounds like you're making good progress already - better than me!

Morning All,
No UU or Ins to report.

Asset, have you made a decision yet? I can understand your worries because to others it will look odd that you are crying so much over someone you don't really know but you are obviously a sensitive soul and it is the "occasion" that seems to affect you. Perhaps your BF could explain that to his family. Hugs xx

Kadison, good luck with your date!

Sundaysgirl, have a great holiday! Bring back some sun with you!

Newthrift, welcome to the group.

Heh, Sundaysgirl, it's good to know I'm not the only one whose OH is afflicted with foot-in-mouth disease Have a great hol, I can't remember where you're off to but I hope the sun shines, your tipple of choice flows and you have a good rest xx

Kadison, I hope you enjoy your date tonight

Hi Newthrift :wave:

I am off to the paid stuff for a whole day today and I'm already so tired I could cry Add that to impending AF, a dodgy tum and the fact the rain and humidity is going to turn my hair into Shaft's afro = I'm not in the best of moods!

Oh dear, hope you manage to get through the day. Last year when the weather was like today my hair would be battling against being straight and would be kinking and frizzing all over the place since I have gone with the curls the rain and humidity don't bother it, it just gets a bit curlier if anything. Have you tried a humidity protectant?

I recently opened my stashed bottles of Ojon Damage Reverse shampoo and conditioner and totally love it, my hair is much less dry and frizzy but I am :eek: at the price. Does anyone have a recommendation for curly hair prone to dryness and frizz, it is also coloured. I was looking at the L'Oreal Everpure colour one but would be open to other suggestions.

Thanks for the new thread Clutterfree, count me in for another month.

I've not been posting much lately as I haven't had any use ups but I really must do better this month. I think I ended up with two ins last month, but I really need to have a look at my PP list as I keep putting it off.

Painted my nails with OPI DS Reserve last week and just changed it for Lilypad Lacquer Periwinkle Twinkle.

I really like the OPI DS polishes, particularly the older ones, and am kicking myself for not buying more of them when they were originally issued:( I have Elegance, Ruby and Shimmer.

I actually got 4 days wear this week (normally 1 or 2 at most) from an old Revlon Colorstay in a "Supermodel" colour, topped with Perfect Formula Pink Gel coat. Toes are Maybelline Red Comet and nails will soon be LD New Season.

First UU for June L'Occitane Ultra Rich Lip Balm, already have replacement ready to use, love this when out walking or on bike:D

I'm in again!
Thanks for the new thread clutter free.

Thank you for the tip about the nail polish last month maddymay. Sorry I didn't get round to thanking you then

Back from my holidays on Monday, and just caught up with the end of last months thread.

Last UUs for May:
Naked coco de mer shower gel 300ml

Naked coco de mer bath cream 300ml PP item. Both nice to try, subtle scent, probably WNBA.

Sanctuary spa salt scrub sachet 60ml. Difficult to uses from a sachet, but a good scrub.

May:
UU/outs: 14
Ins: 10

June:
UU:
TBS wild cherry shower gel 250ml. This was a pink rose candle stash item, but decided to take it on our holidays and enjoy it. It was lovely. Two more left.

Nivea Q10 day cream sachet. Nice enough, left my face soft.

John Frieda intensive conditioner sachet. Left hair so soft and smooth!

1x eBay out.

Ins:
5x Greek olive oil soaps, yummy!
L'oreal primer sachet.

Managed to avoid all duty free temptations at Glasgow 0:)

Have a good day all.

Morning all, thanks for the shiny new thread Cutterfree! I've had a few good laughs reading through the first few pages, this is such a lovely, funny and supportive place!

Right so at the end of last month I did end up with more ins than outs, too many amazing offers that I just *had* to get. Oh well this month I will do better, I'm hoping in at least a 20 item reduction to my total.

But having said that Liz Earle have free postage on so I *had* to buy the new ltd ed cleanser. I dont really buy LE anymore for various reasons but the C&P is an old fav and new one sounds right up my street, plus the fact that I've just UU'd an Elemis one so would be buying a new one anyway soon as only a mini/GWP sizes left in stash (which I will UU before starting the LE ofc). Sorry if I'm enabling anyone!

So anyway, so far this month:
UU: Elemis cream cleanser - was nice cant say I was blown away by it, texture was nice, didnt really notice a scent, probably WNBA (this was a gwp anyway).
John Masters Organic hair detangler sachet - I love JMO but cant justify the price tag atm and tbh there wasnt enough of this to tell if I would buy it.

Ins: Liz Earle cleanser -thinking on it not sure if they still send out a mini cleanser with orders, if so will be another in but will put it in my travel bag and uu the one that's currently in there (another C&P) as I like to make sure its a fresh one. I dont go away often and I'd be gutted if it had gone funny when I went to use it!

PP for this month is:
1 Clarins Flash Balm
2 Trilogy oil
3 L'Occitane rose hand cream
4 L'Occitane verbena shower gel
5 Nuxe lip balm
6 REN SPF cream
7 Trilogy day cream
8 Steamcream tin
9 This Works foot cream
10 Boo Boo body butter

Hello All! Back for June. I'm really pleased that I seem to be getting through my stash - and no purchases last month! :T

Have 3 UUs to report today.

30 ml. Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. Like this, and WBA when I have used all the rest!

25ml. John Frieda Volume Blow Dry Spray. This worked OK, so WMBA.

Essentially Yours Therapeutics Facial Oil. I have been using this brand for over a decade off and on, and am always surprised how my skin improves on it. However I get bored/seduced by advertising, and buy other stuff. You never know they might perform the miracles they claim!:cool: WBA - in fact have more in stash!

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and comments :A x
I haven't spoken to my BF yet but will be seeing him later and explain my feelings. I know I need to be strong for him but I do feel like I'm a nuisance. I had wondered if I could stay at the back rather than at the front with the family. I am a very emotional person and get upset quite easily, like watching programmes and films, he laughs and kindly points out that it's not real, but even still I can't help it.

No INs or OUTs, have lots of things spluttering but nothing finished yet.
