No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2015

MacaronVanille

Haha dolly and ruby, make up is my weakness especially eye shadow! Very jealous of Poppy's stash all that bobbi brown!

Was going to do my toiletries and hair/skin care List tonight but just don't have the energy!

Have 2 uu to report though!

Lush dancing Santa bath bomb
this was ok. Smelt nice but didn't really fizz turned the water a nice red though!

Collection lasting perfection concealer shade 3 warm medium
Holy grail! Love this stuff already have another one in action.

Also have a sanctuary foot butter that's coming to the end of its life. Going to start trying to use foot cream every night. My heels are so cracked can anyone suggest a good foot cream that would help?

Welcome macaronvanille. Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

I have spent an hour this afternoon unblocking the bath drain, I tried a plunger, Mr muscle sink unblocked before taking the side of the bath off and undoing the u bend and that was clear so ended up shoving a blunt object up the drain to find a plug of snow angel bath melt blocking it. So much for relaxing baths!

UU's
12 BS ginger shampoo WBa I don't know if it is my HG but I use this about 80% of the time and have done for the last couple of years.

13 innis free rice sheet mask WBa fitted well and seemed to hydrate my skin

14 penguin bubble bar WMBA this is from last years Boxing Day sale and I actually managed not to buy anymore this year having still some left.

15 luxury lush pud bath ballisitic WBA love the twilight scent of this. Again several more in stash.

GA
16 holographic face serum to my mom, I have too many serums and she will use it.

Yes, Lush products bung up our drains too.

Sui and Asset I am so sorry to hear about your losses. I hope you're each looking after yourselves.

I am in the process of clearing out my mother's house at the moment, it's a rental property so has to be done sooner rather than later. I think I've said before that my mum could be a little bit of a hoarder, and the house was worse than I think I've seen it in a very long time. She had told me that she was struggling, but going through the house and finding brand new pans when I knew she wasn't cooking, perfumes on a dressing table that she would keep because she didn't want to use the last of them. It's horrible, more painful than anything I thought I would do.

It's having a dual impact. On the one hand I want to clear out my house, reduce down to the things that I only really want or need. On the other hand we are buying so much to incorporate mum's dog, to make our lives easier/better. And then there's the fact that I buy things when I am stressed or down (I wonder where I get that from mum, with your two ice cream makers and lactose intolerance!).

So here we go with my INs WARNING - ENABLING POST BELOW

I truly feel for you roughy. We had to clear my in laws house when FIL passed away and it was mammoth task. Take care xx

Lankygirl, don't make the mistake I made with angel, I had a big bottle which I recycled when it was empty then found out that you can have them refilled in the shop which is cheaper than buying a complete new bottle! Could have kicked myself.

Morning all and welcome to the new people in the thread,
Got a few spluttered over the weekend but nothing UU yet.
No ins either which is good

Isn't this a brilliant idea? Why can't other fragrance companies refill?

lankygirl20

have got two more UUs

Lush let the good times roll sample - surprised how many uses I got out of their tiny pots. Loved the smell, loved the way it left my skin. It was too scrubby for me for every day use but still fab. Once I've used up my facial scrubs i'm definitely going to buy a pot of this and start using it a few times a week.

Crabtree and Evelyn Pomegranate and argan hand cream 25g - nice enough and smelt great but i prefer the texture of the l'occitaine ones. WNBA

Another UU

8 Elemis evening blooms body oil am using this under sufferance and have one more in the stash.

Dolly bigger commitment for my poor OH who is allergic to him. It's a work in progress...

We filled a 12 foot skip today, and am having another one delivered tomorrow. The 6 hour round trip drive from where we live to my mum's house doesn't make it easier either

I have two UUs, the first wasn't on my list (I need to redo the list when I have a spare day. Heh, just made myself laugh)

L'occitane lavender bath foam 75ml - nice enough but I wouldn't spend £20 on the full size
Emma Hardie cleansing balm 100ml - I am gutted this is used up. I couldn't justify the expense this month and so picked up liz earle on sale. I have enough LE to last me until March/April, and then will be repurchasing this. It's amazing.

UU Nivea primer - love that stuff

Why under sufferance? I love my Evening Blooms oil

Any good facial wipes? I think the soap and glory ones are very average for the money

I have 2 UUs and 1 IN to report!!

Body Shop Tea Tree Night Lotion - Amazing product and definitely a WBA

Clearasil Deep Cleansing Pads - Loved these too. Also you can find super fruit ones for £1 at Poundland (along with other bargains at beauty such as Olay Facial Wipes). I have 4 more boxes to go through :P

In
Seventeen Cheek Stamp - just needed one and this is inexpensive and good

Any good facial wipes? I think the soap and glory ones are very average for the money

As above, I buy Olay from Poundland and very happy

I am a recent convert to the lidl face wipes. I have combination skin and they do a range for different skin types. 3 months in with no breakouts and the only cost 75p. Delighted and yes I have tried loads but only a few suited my skin including the No 7 ones but there was no chance of me paying that price.

So a LHJ a UU today. My Too Faced Eye Insurance - love it and it's a HG item for me. Already looked out my replacement one given to me at Christmas.
