No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries March 2015

Hi ladies,
A few ins for me!:eek:
TK Maxx purchases:
Miller Harris Citron shower gel - managed to avoid purchasing the scented candles but did get the shower gel, it was red stickered down to £7 so couldn't resist.
Bliss fat girl slim cellulite cream - have only used this once but will comment on it's effectiveness once it's used up!
Marc Jacobs honey body lotion - LOVE the smell of this, so much so i'm considering the perfume...oops
Organic surge eye gel - only just used the last one up but enjoyed using it. Was a bargain at £3 and lasts ages.
Boots purchases:
Batiste dry shampoo - had been using a percy and reed one but this is cheaper and works just as well.
Benefit Hoola bronzer - was recommended this as it's not shimmery, I really like it even though i'm not really a bronzer person. Just gives a subtle glow.
Lancôme genefique serum - sample size given to me by Mum
I also bought a Neom reed diffuser from John Lewis in Sicilian Lemon and Basil scent...such a lovely smell, reminds me of holidays in Turkey and lemon cologne!
I also found some Neom reed diffuser refills in TK Maxx for £9.99 each so bought another sicilian lemon and also a Mandarin, ylang ylang and chamomile.
UU:
Lancome renergie multi-lift eye cream - was a GWP size but did last ages. WNBA as don't think i need an expensive heavy duty eye cream in mid-20's but did enjoy using it.
Molton Brown pink pepperpod shower gel - WDBA - loved the smell and will be repurchasing at some point. Made the bathroom (and me) smell lovely all day!
I think that's it...when I write it all down it looks rather naughty...but never mind!
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend...and welcome to all the newbies on the thread...you'll love it!0 -

Got a couple of UU:
x1 No7 Foundation (full size)
x1 moisturizer
x2 mini moisturizers (decanted these into a tub to use so not sure if this counts)
Also counted my nail varnishes last night I have so many!! So I used a base coat, a colour and top coat(most of my nail varnishes are pink, so looks like I will be sporting pink nails for a while!!)

Hi ladies.
It is my birthday today. No birthday ins, I specifically said I didn't want any toiletries or makeup etc at all.
I have some uu
E45 Moisture Lotion 200ml - I think this came with some other E45 products to test, DD used it originally but E45 seems to irritate her eczema rather than help it so I finished it off in the end. WNBA.
Cussons Mum & Me Baby Shampoo 300ml - this was DS's shampoo, it did the job well and lasted forever. He has moved on to regular shampoo now rather than the baby type. WBA though if he can't wash his hair without getting shampoo in his eyes.
Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel 15ml - have 3 more of these in the stash, it is really nice and leaves my skin soft but due to the price I probably WNBA.
Aromatherapy Associates Support Breathe Bath Oil 10ml - more in the stash so no need to buy again. This is lovely when you are stuffed up with a cold.
Elemis Jasmine & Rose Bath Milk 60ml - WNBA, nice but not worth the price they charge.
Elemis Skin Nourishing Shower Gel 50ml - love this, have more in the stash to be going on with for now.
I also TA my pencil sharpener for eye liners, I have had it since I was a teenager so I have had my moneys worth, it was a Gallery one and it actually has sentimental value but it looks rusty and grotty now. I have replaced it with a lovely new one from Charlotte Tilbury.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Happy birthday dolly84!
I have so many items that are spluttering so I am hoping to have a few more UUs by the end of the week!0 -
Happy birthday dolly! Hope you're enjoying your day.
Some lovely INs there city_girl - always look a lot worse written down, I agree!
I have a couple of UUs from the weekend:
2/41. Yves Rocher Elixir 7.9 Youth Energy Care 40ml - GWP and WNBA, too rich for my skin. I have another stashed.
3/42. D&G Desire The One Body Lotion 100ml - WNBA, I love the scent but the lotion's runny and not all that moisturising. Would happily use again if gifted or in part of a set, as this was.
A few splutterers, but am mainly working on LHJs!MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -

19 (yes, you did read that right) famous brand toothpastes down from £3.60 to 99p each

1 x Creighton's Blonde Shampoo (which cost a whole £1.00. :T I hope it works as well for me as the conditioner does!)
P.S. Happy birthday dolly84! :bdaycake:Please call me 'Pickle'

Still lurking in the background, and still amazed at how many UUs some people seem to be able to report !
so far this month I have
UU : J&J Clean & Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion (finished it on 2nd). Really like this one and have a few more in stock, but have replaced with a T-Zone Anti-Bacterial Cleaner which I like less and have more of.
and
IN : Nivea Hydro Care Lip Balm, purchased on 4th. Have found myself chewing dry skin off my lips a few times over a number of weeks, and in some cases made them quite sore. Hoping I can get into the habit of using this, and that it'll solve the problem.Cheryl0
