No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2014

An IN and an OUT today - feeling very smug!
Sample of L'oreal Revitalift Laser Renew from a magazine! Not sure if I would buy full size as don't really get enough to make a good judgement on a product.
Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.0 -
I have a UU: Kiehl's Bb Cream is finally finished. Thank god!
Hi Sophie! Well done for finishing it at last!
I'm curious - are you happy it's gone because you didn't like it or because you were bored with it/wanted a UU?
Trudi - that's wonderful news all round! How exciting
Sundaysgirl - the Clinique Deep Cleansing Emergency Mask is probably my HG but it was discontinued ages agoI have two partially used tubes left. I hope I don't have a sudden allergic reaction to it!
I have a teeny UU:
Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel (7ml, I think) - WNBA but I have a few sample sizes to UU. It was nice enough for a soap-free cleanser but I have others that I much prefer.
Having seen my bank balance today I am feeling much more committed to a very low spend August :eek: (Probably needs to be the same for September and October as well but one step at a time :rotfl:)0 -

Well done on your graduation Sundaysgirl! Conditioner is also the only section I've graduated in so far! :T
Trudi, congrats and congrats!
I will report back on the Hydraluron moisture jelly when I've given it a good try, but I do love the hygienic dispenser.
No UUs or INs to report.Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

Congratulations Trudi on all the good news! Hope everything goes well with both pregnancies.
And congratulations on being debt free seasidedreamer.
I've been back a few days and already have a slew of UU's to report:
128. Mac Engraved Powerpoint e/l - WBA as it's very good for tightlining but I prefer the cheaper GOSH velvet touch e/l as its just as good and a lot cheaper!
129. Lush Pop in the Bath bubblebar - WBA but I don't have bath!
130. Lush Think Pink BB - WBA but I don't have a bath
131. TBS Coconut body butter - WNBA, I find it too sticky for me. Prefer the chocolate one.
I should say, I don't have a bath at home but when I go to stay with my parents (like this weekend) I take a couple of lush products with me and make the most of their massive cast iron roll top bath.
Hope you're all enjoying the weekend!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -

i think somewhere along the line i have finished things but not updated so will try to get it more updated at some point this month0 -
Back from Centerparcs now so just been catching up with the thread. We had a lovely time and was a much needed break
Congrats Seasidedreamer on your debt freeness! That's really great and must be a huge relief. Hope the flooding didn't get any further up your road.
trudij lovely news on both pregnancies!
Well done Sundaysgirl on your graduation...hair care is something I just can't resist so you've done well!
I didn't have any UU while I was away but do have some splutterers that i'm desperate to get rid of!
I have one of those mahoosive Tresemme shampoo bottles which seems to have been around since the dawn of time in my bathroom. I want to use it but I don't like it very much...sure you girlies have that dilemma all the time! Want to use it up but don't want to use it!
I've been using it alongside shampoo that i do like so it's not been too bad but really ready for it go now.
I did get to go to the spa at Centerparcs! :T I had a lovely Elemis facial and got a free gift of a body scrub and a muscle soak so I will have to add them as INS. The body scrub is nice...very 'scrubby' but the muscle soak smells awful, like Pepto Bismol, ya know the pink medicine for stomach upsets? So think I might be 'gifting' that little beauty to some poor unsuspecting person lol
Hope all are having a nice weekend x0 -
city_girl, I use unloved shampoo to clean my bathroom, it works really well and IMHO the bath stays cleaner for longer than if I use a proprietary bathroom cleaner. Plus your hands don't smell all chemically and nasty after you're finished, I'm using a Herbal Essences one atm and it smells like coconut
I figure as long as it's being put to some use it's not going to waste. I know some others use shampoo etc up in laundry goop but that's beyond me
Oh, and I'm using up some Rituals shampoo as shower gel too, as it dried my hair too much. It's doing a great job of keeping me from niffing0 -
What a weekend for wonderful news! It's all happening here.
Congrats :T:T:T:T
Sundaysgirl on graduating from here.
Seaside dreamer on becoming debt free.
Trudij on both your pregnancies.
Well I used the new Dove Oxygen hair care kit and I am not too impressed. The shampoo has SLS in it which does not agree with my fine hair. I've been SLS free for a good while now and won't be switching back. Left my hair dull, feeling weighed down and greasy looking this morning.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -
Fiasco, can I ask what shampoo you're using as SLS free? My hair sounds similar to yours.
I have a UU from this morning:
Soap and Glory The Breakfast Scrub
I liked this but not sure if I would buy again. I like the scent one day then hate it the next. It is effective on dry/rough skin but makes a hella mess in the bath!!
Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.0
