No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2015

Tescodealqueen

Can I join in please? I have so much body butter and face cream I don't know where to start. I have been decluttering make up since Christmas as it seems to last for ages and I have some beautiful new sets which were birthday and Christmas gifts. For the first time in years I am talking myself out of the Boots 70% off sale but I don't know if I have the willpower? I really don't need any more stuff

I have a few UUs from last night/this morning:

Kiehls Midnight Eye Recovery 3ml: GWP - WMBA as I don’t usually use eye creams as they irritate my eye conditions but this made under my eyes feel so smooth and soft! Quite pricey for the full size tube though!

Kiehls Ultra Facial Moisturiser 3ml: GWP and hated it. I don't have sensitive skin but it made my face sting as soon as I put it on. Very disappointing, WNBA.

Kiehls Ultra Facial Cleanser 3ml: GWP and not keen. It has a lovely scent but it is extremely thick and sticky for a cleanser. I still have a full size one to use but WNBA.

Witch Blemish Stick 10ml: HG and WBA as I am quite prone to angry spots.

HELLO Ladies

I am starting a complete no-buy for 2015 so I think I'll need this group for support

I made an inventory today and found I owned
214 bath, body, hair and cosmetics items,
110 nail polishes
and
80 bottles of perfume and samples ( I am a perfume collector)

I've also allowed myself to purchase items that I use everyday such as foundation, eyebrow pencil (when I finish the one I have), and hair conditioner, but that's it. I am only allowed to have "ins" that were free during this challenge.

I'm truly inspired by you ladies and here's to 2015!

(Edit)
To kick off this challenge, I indulged in a lovely bath and used up the following item:

Dior hydrlife sorbet cream sample - beautiful cream, might be too heavy for me in the summer but it's great for right now

Lush - strawberry massage bar - I love the smell so I did buy a few of these
probably wnba as I have some other lotions I prefer

Lush Dreamtime bath melt - this one is super lush. I love the smell of the lavender in there, wba.

Hello All,

I'm in this month as I have way too much bath, body and perfume items that are collecting dust. I am a sucker for all things soap and glory and have recently been through my stash, the outcome of that was shocking haha. I will be posting a full list of what I have at a later date however I feel this challenge is just what I need.

Two UUs tonight:
Lush father christmas bath bomb: wmba have more left in my stash and really did like the colour and scent of this one but i think the novelty will soon run out.

Murad pomegranate exfoliating mask sachet: wnba. This wasn't exfoliating at all, just burnt me! Have a few left in my stash but will most likely gift them or sell them on.

I am def joining this year as I have a silly, silly amount of stuff. My two resolutions are:

1) By the end of the year have just one or two back-ups for toiletries and a small make-up collection.

2) Use my expensive products every day. At the moment my cupboards are full of posh stuff I don't use because I feel I should use it for a special occasion. When my mum died I found her cupboards full of expensive products she had kept for a special occasion. I don't want to end up the same way!

Thank you dolly for starting us off.

1 So white bath ballisitic WBA ( actually already did). This was the last one felt from last years sale, have already stocked up.

finished double checking all my 'open and in regular use' items, so that's the first stage of my stock list complete.

and I have a UU of sorts to declare

the toothbrush in my en-suite was well past it's best, so got binned.

I have several in my 'new' stocks, so pulled one out of there - but I put that into the cloakroom and moved the one from there (which gets used less, so can be sitting around for months if not longer!) upstairs as part of my secondary aim to 'rotate' things for optimum useage.
