No Buying Unnecessary ToiletriesDecember 2014

Morning ladies.
I have two ins from my advent calendar, I will list them as ins for this month but the calendar was bought before my spending ban.
Liz Earle C&P and cloth 30ml
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer 30ml - very excited to try this one as it is raved about so much, it's a very good size too.
My PP list for December:
No7 Dry Oil Body Mist
No7 Bubble Bath (boo - I adore this and have no more stashed)
Gok Bath Essence
Gok Body Wash
Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Body Cream
Elemis Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream
Lancome Advance Genefique
Liz Earle C&P
Ren Vita Mineral Day Cream (these mini tubes last for ever)
Ren Frankincense Night Cream (as above but I do love it)
Some of these are well on their way to being finished so I should get a few bottles and tubs out of the house this month.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Another UU this morning
Conditioner, Fructis, Colour Last, 250ml WMBA. I like this, but am just as happy with another which is cheaper. So only if I see it on a special offer, and only after I've used up most of my conditioner stockpile
Moved another already open conditioner into my shower (one I've been steadfastly ignoring for a loooooong time, and which I'll be very pleased to see the back of)
Actually struggling to see what else I may be able to declare as a UU this month. I might get to the end of the currently in use shampoo, but think that might be it cos there's so much in every container :eek:Cheryl0 -
So I have 1 UU this morning;
Biore UV perfect face milk – WDBA and have one more in the stash. I've also got a different version of this SPF that I was sent by mistake and told to keep, so I might break that one out next.
And although I said that I was going to try for no new IN's for the rest of December I forgot that all the ladies at work have gone in on one of those really fancy Liberty advent calendars, so I'll have one IN for one day in December. I don't flu bad about it though, so there!
Now, PP for December
Castor Oil
Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque
Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm
Boots Sensitive Foaming Face Wash
Sanex Bath foamNo more goo hoarding!

dolly your advent calendar sounds amazing - which one do you have? I really wanted the Selfridges or Liberty one but didn't want all the INs! So have made a deal with myself that, so long as I continue to get the stash under control, I can have one next year.MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0

Hiya
PLEASE can I join you all again I was part of this challenge several years ago and was doing really well.:(
Seems though that I have lapsed badly without knowing.
Today I was looking for a particular shade of nail varnish and couldn't find it, the thought occurred to me that I HAD to go out and find the shade I wanted. I took a double take and saw the heap of bottles of polishes heaped on my bed. There were 257 of them( no kidding) so have spent the day listing the different makes and colours. I then went on to list the shower gels (17 super sizes) and the 39 tubes of hand cream. I am not an octopus!!!!!!
I need to get a grip
Things stuck in my airing cupboard for best are not going to do me any good or give me pleasure if I keep them as a stash. Not using them but keeping them for best, only to buy in multiples , my everyday replacements when they are on offer.
It needs to stop:oThank you Maddiemay.
I don't know if I would be any better or worse than if I did not post. I never seem to resist things.:DI'm in again. Not that you ladies are anything other than a bad influence on me :P
May I request you fix the title though please? Many thanks.
Ladies, I think we all feel the same way this time of year due to all the luscious gift sets that are released. Keep strong xBack for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

Me too. I may be going to the sales alone this year too as MrM has decided to go to the football with his mate and Emma may be working. I don't mind though as MrM just wanders balefully behind me and Emma makes me spend more than I want/need. If I had her company though I'd still be glad.Morning ladies.

Which Advent Calendar did you get as I love both these products.
Will try to post as much as I can but will be quiet over the next few days as we are away in Carnforth and Lancaster until Monday next week. Packed my bag last night and have put in loads of mini sizes/sachets so hopefully will have a few UUs by the time we return.
First UU of the month though that I UUed this morning: LE Limited Edition C&P. Loved this and was a bit miffed when I missed out on the Cyber Monday special offer yesterday. Never mind. Thing is I do have a 200ml and 30ml of C&P to use next along with a full sized Elemis Lime Blossom Cleanser and a small tube of Burts Bees cleanser to use. Am taking the 30ml C&P and BB cleanser away with us.
Take care everyone. xBack for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
