No Buying Unnecessary ToiletriesDecember 2014

Carolyn12

I'm in again. Thanks for starting up again MaddieMay.
I got lost in November and didn't post much.
Had a fair few UUs with only one or two INs.

December is always going to be a bad month for INs sadly, all those sales are just too tempting! Lol.
Hoping for some decent UUs to balance them out!
I have a large size shower gel with one more use and a mini day cream on its last legs (hopefully, until I cut it open and find loads left...)

Happy Friday everyone! I'm counting down the remaining working days till the holidays! Yay.
Also, I'm quite jealous of the beauty advent calendars (I just couldn't justify getting one )

A UU for me last night - Simple face wipes. I love these so have a few other packs to keep me going.

The Advent calendars sound lovely, I have promised myself one next year if I have got my stash down to desired levels and it only contains HG products and things that I really love using, should be achievable, but whether or not I can reduce the IN's sufficiently remains to be seen:o

Can't remember the last time I've actually chucked a bottle with something in it, but.....

Today I'm reporting my first TA.

Shampoo, Dove Hair Therapy, Daily Care

Not sure it it's one I've used in the past and put to one side or one I acquired part used, but I've used it a few times recently and it's costing me to use it up :eek: Unless I go swimming I can normally get away with washing my hair once a week (although twice is better), but with this it's getting greasy within 24 hours and can't be left more than 48 without being done again. More frequent washing costs me gas to heat the water, and water as well as I'm metered. I reckon there's only a few more washes left in it anyway, but out it goes.......

That sounds lovely, I got a different Calendar to you, I got the Body Shop one, I know its not as good value for money, but I knew that I'd use the products in this one. So far have Hand Cream, Nail File, Mini Heart Soap and Mini Cranberry shower gel.

I also looked at the Benefit one and realised I wouldn't use most of the products in that one very glad I didn't get it as they looking on FB it seems they all got Paper Clips on day one.

Paperclips - what on earth. Today I got a Caudelie Nourishing Body Lotion - it smells gorgeous. Last night I did my nails with the Essie polish from yesterday, it is a gorgeous electric blue glitter and it covered in one coat, it'll still be a pain to get off but it looks lovely.

I also have a NBI, a facial oil to test, I used it last night under my Ren night cream and this morning I touched my face and it felt incredible, I never gush over things but my skin felt so unbelievably soft, it took me a while to remember having used the oil, everything else used was the same as I've been doing for a while. I will see if it continues.

I caved this weekend and popped into Bodycare to 'get a few bits!' - such a big mistake. I definitely don't need another hand cream I will inevitably never use.

Hi guys, have been reading this forum for a few months now but I'm finally going to take the plunge and try to use up my stash.

Think it may take a few years to do though, got at least 25 mascaras in my stash, let alone all other make up, bath and body bits!

got a few bits that look like they may finally finish this month so going to try and get those done and see where the month takes me:

Laura Mercier foundation primer 30ml
Estee Lauder Sumptuous mascara 3ml
Givency Phenomen' eyes mascara 7g
Marc Jacobs Daisy EDT 50ml
See by Chloe EDT 50ml
Lush Whoosh shower jelly 100g
Redken Extreme conditioner 250ml

Welcome lankygirl20 and welcome back to US and Carolyn!

SuiDreams - I imagined a red base, green triangle trees and gold dots to represent the star and a few baubles perhaps!

Happy weekend everyone x

Hi all,


Sorry, I haven't posted for months (since May I think!) but the challenge has been in my mind.
I haven't bought any unnecessary toiletries apart from some shower gels when they were on offer at Body Shop a couple of months ago.


I've used up my stash of body lotion and am now using the endless supply of hand cream (which I should use regularly but don't) as body lotion.


I have 3 shower gels on the go and 2 body scrubs with one more unopened shower gel in the cupboard.


Only one shampoo and conditioner left which will be opened tomorrow.


2 hair gel sprays.


I'm plodding through my face creams - still have 4 half used ones.


I also know Hubby has bought me quite a bit for Christmas as stocking fillers and mum and MIL always buy me smellies so I'll probably be back to square one come December 26 :rotfl:

UU – Benefit – Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow 'Ivory'
My full size of this is finished and now I am sad. I have a tiny tiny sample of this left but that will probably only do a couple of days. I love this foundation but I simply can't afford it!
