No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January 2015

1394042444548

  • Just a heads up that I'll be joining again in February. Had a few attempts at lowering the stash but just keep 'treating' myself to more things I then 'save for best'. It's a vicious cycle!

    In the process of compiling a true and honest stash list-is it possible to be a collector of toiletries rather than a user!

    Settled down with dye on my hair to declare it as a UU today - only to realise I didn't actually declare it as an IN when I bought it on 16th :D

    So one IN
    Schwartzkopf Hair Dye, shade 39

    and one UU
    Schwartzkopf Hair Dye, shade 39


    Pretty sure I have a couple in the house, but couldn't find them. So I only bought the one this time around, which gives me time to hunt out the others before it need doing again :)

    Three UUs for me this morning:

    Garnier Oil Beauty Lotion 10ml: This was a free sample and it smells absolutely gorgeous! The full size bottles are a little bit expensive for what they are but I think I WBA with loyalty points or something.

    Sainsbury's Purity Body Spray 75ml: Nothing special about this BS, was just hoping that own brand scents would be better than Impulse, but they're not. WNBA.

    Sanctuary Gentle Polish Body Scrub 200ml: This was my first time using a Sanctuary product and my goodness, it smells amazing (masculine and orangey). WDBA when I have less of a stash!

    One UU today:

    Boots Extracts Strawberry body wash. Would buy again if on offer- it's nice enough, nothing special!

    I like the Boots body sprays particularly the 'Free' one (name of it, not actually free).

    Thanks dolly84, I will check it out! I use a few Superdrug own brand ones which are quite nice; i was just hoping that S'Burys were on par so I could pick those up with our main shop!

    A UU -
    L'oreal Everpure shampoo - WDBA, I really like this - I have started to feel that maybe my hair is 'getting used' to it now. Have another in the stash though so will persevere.

    Down to 47 products :)


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.
