No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2014

sjprmc01

Hi folks of 'no more' land. I haven't been around for a bit as I've been too busy with wedding stuff and such like, not enough room in my head for it all! Hope everyone is well! I get married in just over 6 weeks so don't think I will be officially back on the 'no more' wagon till the Nov thread. In the meantime, I've been working through what I can of what I own and not really buying anything extra anyway although I am going to boots today for some new p&p serum, mine is all but done though so it's not an unnecessary purchase (oh and I have such a large stash I've managed to lose a whole 200ml pot of Emma Hardie in there somewhere and I'm just annoyed with myself at that)

sjp - that's a big pot it will turn up somewhere.

I have a couple more uu, I am really on a roll

Elemis Sharp Shower 200ml, this is one of my all time favourite shower gels and I have been buying it for many years. It is actually in the mens range, it is a creamy, minty, herby, natural scent and is perfect after a tough workout. I bought two bottles of this on a good deal, I think it was £18 for two, now it seems to be £20 for one, I still have one left but will look out for a good offer when that one is done.

Ren Rosa Centifolia Express Makeup remover 150ml, this seems to say it is a general cleanser which removes eye makeup but then the directions say to use on eyes. I just used it to remove eye makeup anyway and it lasted ages. WBA but only to get an epic GWP as it is expensive, it did the job well though.

Morning ladies:hello::hello:

I hope you are all well. I have a few Uu's to declare:
Molton Brown templetree shower gel (50mls) - this is far and away my favourite shower gel, it smells heavenly, currently finishing off a 500mls bottle, wba

L'occitane shampoo & conditioner (50mls) - a recent magazine freebie, while I enjoyed using these and they did give good results I probably wouldn't buy them again purely due to the price

Elvive conditioner (can't remember the exact type but it was in a white and gold bottle) wnba as it did absolutely nothing for my hair

Wella shampoo for normal hair, wnba as hair seemed to get greasy quickly with this

Percy & Reed miracle balm, this stuff is amazing, have another one in the stash so don't need to buy again yet

Clinique liquid facial soap - love this as it takes all my make up off without any effort and doesn't dry my skin out, wba but I have a mountain of other cleansers to get through first.

I'm now using the last bottle of shampoo in my stash and have actually no regular conditioner left - I'm using a hair mask at the moment to see if I can get to the end of the month without any ins.

Good luck with the wedding sjprmc01 and may it be everything you hope for xo

Apologies for the long post!

Happy pampering, xo

Ooh, I got these too, they arrived on Thursday and I completely forgot Have used them every night since and am having a big breakout on my chin I'm not saying for a moment it's the pads to blame, it's just my stupid skin.

They feel nice but they're very wet, I reckon I could cut one in half and still have enough product to do my whole face and neck.

I agree, they are very wet. I watched latest vid from the Hirons last night and followed her advise this morning - she says go over your whole face and neck twice with same pad - so up and down the whole face on one side of the pad and then flip over go side-to-side with the other. It worked out quite well and didn't seem quite so wet at the end.

Yesterday I went and bought some hair dye and directly used it. Do you count this as an IN and OUT or do you just not count it at all?

Ooh this is my first month doing this so I don't know. I'd probably count it as both but that's just me :P

I have a small UU from my PP:

20/230. Cussons Mum & Me Baby Sleep Tight Baby Bath 50ml - does the job but wouldn't go out of my way to buy again.

It's pretty slow-going on the UU front this month, but I'm hoping to have a little flurry over the coming days as I have a few splutterers.

I don't dye my hair but I think some of the ladies on here who do count as an IN and a UU, and some ignore it - it's up to you!

Honestly I'm not enabling, but Lush are bringing out a So White shower gel for Christmas...

Have seen the new Christmas releases from Lush and they look divine.

Hi all !

just caught up on this month, everyone's doing marvellous :T

Moved into a new flat with boyfriend a couple of weeks ago and we don't have internet yet but I managed to borrow a dongle so I could get back onto MSE!

New flat only has a shower so this will limit my hoarding a lot, no bubble bath or bath bombs for me !

Actually pleasantly surprised how small my stash is getting these days, worst area is perfume and a lot of these are on their way out!
Currently using a body spray as air freshener in the bathroom.

Hoping to get everything else used up by Christmas so santa can bring me new goodies to try

Admire your dedication to us re: dongle and body spray air freshener. I'm with you as well re: UUing before Christmas. Must get around to putting those Elemis bath milk and oil bottles up for sale.

Oh I LOVE this! I got sent it as part of a top-reviewer thank you from Boots, it's the best one I've had. Mind you people say that about that Benefit They're Real and I HATED that with a vengeance!

I too love Babydoll. It's funny because at first I wasn't so amazed by it but it grew on me. I have a brown Babydoll and black Shocking on the go at the mo. The Shocking though is very wet and hard to remove.

I love this too although I have only ever had a small bottle that came with a GWP. Haven't got round to buying it again but would definitely get some if it was on special offer. If you see any offers let me know?

I have a small tube of this in my stash and will be using it next. I'm currently using the Clinique foaming cleanser at night but don't like it as I can't take it over my eyes. Am looking forward to trying this one now - thanks for the mention.
