No Buying Unnecessary ToiletriesDecember 2014

Sundaysgirl

I have a fair few UUs from my lovely weekend away visiting family:

9/300. Aveda Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair 10ml - freebie and WNB, too runny and didn't seem to do much.

10/301. Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum 25ml - WBA, really liked this, left my hair very manageable and soft. I have another in a set in the present drawer and may well bring this over to my stash once I've finished my P&R No Oil Oil.

11/302. L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil 35ml - freebie and WNB, smelled gorgeous but I used this full bottle in just two showers WITH A BODY PUFF so very poor VfM!

12/303. Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Darlk Spot Solution 1.5ml - freebie and WNB, hard to tell from such a small sachet but no noticeable effects.

13/304. L'Occitane Divine Cream 1.5ml - as before, probably WNB given the price.

14/305. Vichy Idealia Life Serum 1.5ml - WMB, leaves my skin looking and feeling lovely but pricey.

15/306. Vichy Idealia Eyes 1.5ml - probably WNB, other eye creams I prefer.

16/307. Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye Serum 3ml - freebie and WMB, a little went a long way (sample lasted me for almost three weeks!) as it is so rich and it applied well.

17/308. Dior Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet EDT 1ml - nice enough but probably WNB, I have my favourites already.

I have gifted INs too but not as many as I feared (8) and all lovely products which I'm dying to bring into use, though I'll wait until the new year.

17 more items to UU before the end of the year - may be a big ask!!

Yesterday my in from my advent calendar was a little bottle of Roger & Gallet Fluer de Figuier - oh my this is gorgeous.

Today was a pair of Eyeko Eyelash Curlers.

I had an in yesterday ( I know I'm not supposed to have ins but this is such a basic) Witch Concealer, this stuff covers anything, it is like a thin lipstick and it stays put all day on me.

I have a UU this morning - Simple toner, which has been replaced with another of the same.

I have so many tins of Vaseline to get through, mainly from gifts. I prefer stick lip balms but I don't want to throw them away. Has anyone got any ideas for using them up, other than using on my lips? The only other thing I can think of is to put some on my feet and then put socks on overnight, which I have done before and does leave my feet feeling really soft.

First UU of December!

Imperial Leather Shower Gel - WMBA, this was fine to use.
No7 Micro Exfoliant - Body - WDBA, love this!

My PP list for December:

- Loreal Ever Riche Nourishing and Flowing Shampoo
- Elemis Balancing Lavender Toner
- No7 Pore Vacuum Mask
- Imperial Leather Shower Gel
- Elemis Frangipani Monoi Body Oil

How my PP list is looking for December.

- Loreal Ever Riche Nourishing and Flowing Shampoo - nearly finished, probably one more wash in it.

- Elemis Balancing Lavender Toner - Used Up

- No7 Pore Vacuum Mask - tricky one, got lots left. Doubt I'll use up

- Imperial Leather Shower Gel - Have used up and replaced with another.

- Elemis Frangipani Monoi Body Oil - Used Up.


I know that I have some Liz Earle goodies coming my way at Christmas, so should really clear out some items for those. I have so many moisturisers for both face and body it is frightening! :rotfl:

I do have a giveaway in that category though - a John Paul Gaultier moisturiser that I am going to give to a friend.

Also, an IN. Of a category of item that I very rarely use, and have lots in the house of - a fake tan!!! :rotfl: Why do I do this?? Wondering if I should even try to take it back?

Hi guys, just to say to everyone....

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

I won't have much time to post now before new year and I've decided it will be a clean slate toiletries wise, I will post a new stash list and wipe the slate of any totals before then, it's the easiest way to do it. I will be in Aberdeen for Christmas with the boyfriend and his family and in Devon with him for NY, lots of travelling and busy busy busy. Very nice after spending every Christmas and almost every NY alone since 2006!

I hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year xx

You too. It's lovely that you have found someone xx

So went shopping again last night and I've decided this is definitely it now save for a few choccies for the stockings. MrM said he wanted to buy me something else so chose a lovely blusher and lipgloss set from NARS. Can't wait for Xmas day for this also now.

Kadison - Happy Christmas to you too, hope you have a lovely time. First Christmas with a new chap is a special one.

VALM - you are being thoroughly spoiled, so many lovely goodies to play with on Christmas Day.

Lankygirl - Clinique All About Eyes is my HG eye cream.

upsystaffordshire - it seems a bit of a waste to me to use them on your feet but better than not using them at all. I have a little pot or stick of lip balm in both cars, my bag, by my bed, on my desk, by the sofa, in my dog walking coat, by the front door. I always, always have something on my lips all year round when outside, quite often lip balm then lipstick or gloss over the top. Needless to say I never have chapped or dry lips.

I am seriously coveting quite a lot of rather expensive things from the Charlotte Tilbury range, I may have a splurge for my birthday. I would like to try them first but don't know if any stores stock the range outside of London yet.

I have a uu

Ren Frankincense Night Cream 15ml - I have had several mini tubes of this and really like it, this was the last one. I WMBA as it smells lovely, does a good job and this little tube lasted ages. I have replaced it with an Elemis night cream again in a GWP size, it is the lifting one but I can't remember the full name.

Today's advent in was Rodial Stem Cell Lip Balm - this is a full size and I am very excited to try it.

I can finally post another UU

Shower Gel, Avon, Tasha, 150ml

Totally unexpected! I knew there wasn't a great deal in it, but it's a fully coloured container so can't see how much and it hadn't spluttered at all. This morning it spluttered and immediately died

Can't buy again as this fragrance was discontinued (many) years ago, but I have moved 1 of the 2 I had in stock into the shower......
