No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2015

sam.4000

Evening ladies.

Happy birthday to Lyndseydee and sundaygirl, enjoy.

Gemzie121 I also have a large collection of bathbombs and bubble bars ( 150ish at the start of january) and I do stock up in the Boxing Day sales. If you ever feel like it I would love to see your list. I may be planning a trip to lush at the weekend as their Mother's Day stuff comes out ( sorry not tring to enable) but shh don't tell anyone:D

UU's
Father Christmas bath ballistic WNBA too sweet a scent for me, have another 2 in stash which I will use soon. There were part of a gift set and I liked the other products.

So white bath ballistic WBA love the scent of this one and if honest which I had stocked up a little more.

Hydrogel face mask WNBA not nice, it left bits all over my face.

Scalp nutrition calming moisture fluid 150 ml WNBA but did like it and it seemed to have a calming effect on my scalp.

Hair speed manicure aka leave in hair conditioner WNBA left my hair sticky even though I split a 12g tube over 3 washes.

INs
18 items from meme ( in my defence 4 are single use sachets and 5 are single use face masks). I do have more on order as they will no longer be shipping to the UK so I will miss my monthly fixes. I have moved to the naughty step and will eat only bread and water till I go shopping on Saturday and then I may be sitting on it till the end of next week.

Have a good weekend.

Hi ladies,

My other swap arrived yesterday and my swapped item was received (was via a fb beauty swap/sale page (not ours) and I was a little apprehensive as to how it would go).

So another OUT in the form of a 300ml bottle of Elemis Nourishing Shower Cream. Did put some sample sachets in too but I don't count these in my stash.

I got another LG blusher in return which is very bright and I had to be so careful how I applied it this morning but am pleased with it so will have to ensure I go gingerly with it.

Does anyone here own a Veet Wax Roll On? I was in Sainsbury's last night and on the clearance shelf they had the refills, strips and wipes reduced to £1.00 and 50p (wipes) each. I bought a refill and 2 packs each of the strips and wipes as the refills are usually £10.00 each. I don't own the Roll On machine though - I know this is a flaw in the plan but my thinking was that if I don't get one MrM can return the items unused to Sainsburys. However, I have now convinced myself that having one of these will be the next best thing to sliced bread as I do like waxing but never manage to get the wax to the right temperature. So am shopping around for one.

Hi valm

I had one of the veet wax roll ons. It ended up in the bin :(The wax took about an hour to heat up and even then it applied patchy and didn't do a good job at removing hair

For the person who likes Rituals, sorry Ive lost the post and in a rush, John Lewis have quite a good range!
Some UU here: Burt Bees lip balm with mango butter, Nerium AD Night Cream well it was a freebie and horrible so chucked it and Nerium Trim- Body Contouring Cream almost as nasty but UU that one, no bothering to cut it open through.

I actually thought you worked for Lush - you are so well informed.

That was me but unfortunately we don't have a JL anywhere around here.

Welcome Gemzie.

1 UU – Coconut oil – WDBA, has so many uses. I used it as a hair mask last night and now my hair feels lovely.

Similarly, mine ended up in the bin. I bought it from a half price promotion.

I'd suggest a brand though - camsakizi sugaring wax. £4.99 with free shipping on Ebay.

I'm planning to tidy my stash tonight and then make a list for things to use in February.

I have just UU a Vichy Ideala Serum sample. Loved the feeling and might buy later on when I need!

Another one for the "in the bin" crew. I got mine to test via BzzAgent. I did my trial with it and then chucked it as it was painful and patchy!

And forgot to tell 2 more items gone - sold them on Ebay.

1 x Elizabeth Arden Lip Gloss
1 x NYC Lip gloss

Didn't sell for much but they were freebies and I don't use lip gloss so no point to have them around!

Thank you so much ladies. I shall have to have a trip to Sainsburys to return the strips etc that MrM and I have bought. I went along last night and bought some more. Never mind, at least I hadn't bought the unit yet though I was watching a couple on Ebay.

When I was in Sainsburys last night they had a really good offer on 900ml bottles of Tresemme - 2 for £5.00 so I bought 4 bottles.

Some small OUTs for the week (no INs ):

47) Small hotel body lotion.
48) 100ml Molton Brown Indian Cress shampoo. WNBA, left my hair horribly dry, we've been using it up as shower gel.
49) Gilchrist & Soames shampoo from our holiday.

And:

17) Blush sample.
18) Eyeshadow sample.

That puts me at a balance of -40 for toiletries and -18 for make-up. Not bad for just over a month's work! We'll be starting to move onto bigger bottles soon (been working our way through a lot of minis and samples) so I suspect things will slow down a bit now. We're still on track for our year's target of -100 for toiletries and -50 for make-up though
