No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2015

I'm back. I didn't UU nearly as much in January as I'd have liked, but it does mean I have a few items soooooo close to finishing that February looks to be a much better month for me
Seeing how many items some of you declare as UUs was almost enough to scare me off - but as I don't even know what more than half the items a lot of you mention are I don't know how many of them are 'one time use' (like my face mask, or bath bombs which I don't use as I don't have baths), and I don't include (as so rarely use and own very little) makeup which means I have less on the go.
This section shows the items I have open and out for everyday use in my en-suite and cloakroom, as well as in my gym bag and in my travel washbag (which gets left at the holiday home from our first visit until our last each year so has to be well equipped - owned by a family member who's kindly given me permission to leave a couple of boxes in the garage).

Hi everyone,
Went abit AWOL in January but I was still catching up with the thread just didn't get to post!
Had some INs
Lancome bi-facil 200ml (larger size) which they had on sale at the counter in Boots so was only a couple of ££ more expensive than the 125ml and I had finished my other one.
S&G big box from the Boots sale - I can't decide whether to give this away as a present or keep it for myself! I'm not a HUGE fan of S&G but it was £18 from £60 so I couldn't resist!
2x S&G Eau la la Orangeasm gift sets also in the Boots sale - these will definitely be given away as presents. Nice smell but I really don't need any more shower gel/body lotion.
Ted Baker bubble bath
and a few OUTS
Harmonie calm moisturiser sample - WMBA - this is for sensitive skin and i've had it before but doesn't do as much good as the clinique redness solutions.
Lush Dream Cream - WNBA - didn't like the plastic smell
Herbal Essences seductively straight mask - WMBA - this was nice, worked well but I don't think it was much different to the normal conditioner of the same range.
Lancome bi-facil eye make up remover - WDBA - See above
I'm very close to finishing a few bits so hopefully will have some more UU soon!
I'm off to London for an overnight stay tomorrow...i'm bridesmaid for my best friend in August so me and the other 3 bridesmaids are organising the hen do and having a planning session tomorrow evening. Hopefully I will have time to make it for a quick jaunt round Selfridges at some point before I come home!0 -

Thank you so much for all the recommendations! Think I'll avoid the other due to be discontinued blusher why do brands do this to us?!
The no 7 blush I've seen before and it has a definite shimmer which I'm not too keen on.Dazedandconfused wrote: »Have you looked at mua. I think they have a similar colour. I think it might be shade 2?
This looks almost spot on, I think I even like shade 3 even better! Think I'll need to place an order with them, looks like they've got great palettes too...
I think I forgot to declare two small INs (both free - one was a gift):
Body shop pomegranate lip balm - so delicious!
Sample pot of the new body shop sleeping bouncy mask - really has been making my skin feel plumper, although it hasn't really touched the dry spots I've had this week (I've been ill with a virus), so it's not as intense as it makes out.
I've also got a bottle of avon skin so soft on the way, but that's an essential ready for next month's trip to avoid getting bitten to death by mozzies!!0 -
I have a couple of INS after declaring my stash for February!
INs
Veet Hair Removal cream
Imperial Leather Foamburst Honey and Almond
Imperial Leather Foamburst Sweet Vanilla and Cherry Blossom
Managed to resist No7 vouchers as have pretty much everything I need, and they always bring out vouchers anyway.
Takes me up to 50 items.
Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.0 -
im in for another month. only planned in is the lookfantastic beauty box. I was well chuffed with last months and feel a wee treat will keep me away from shops.
planned use ups- I think I will concentrate on travel size products,a few bath bombs . Not sure what else but I don't need anything :P£365 a year spend challenge - this has included food/clothes/beauty?? who knows where I am
20,000 step a day challenge0
