No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries April 2015

1 UU Soap And Glory Hand Food Cream. I keep hand creams at my drawer at work as the soap at toilets are very drying so I have gone through another one of them.
This cream is just okay - I never get along well with S&G products and only buy then now and then if there is a promo.

Found a half price Nivea Age Defying Q10 hand cream at Boots - full size for £2.00 so one IN and to replace what I UU

No INs to report...yay!!!

Just finished body lotion from hotel, Bath & Body Works Rainkissed Leaves. Gorgeous fragrance but I need something richer so would not buy.

Take care all.

Hi all,
Lots of UUs for me:
Palmers cocoa butter sample sachet
Vichy idealia-pro sample sachet
Garnier intensive 7 days Shea butter sample sachet
Avon Christian Lacroux Rouge perfume 50ml
TBS passion fruit cleansing gel 250ml

I've also finished a shampoo and conditioner, but I'm not counting those in the stash anymore as Ive graduated in those, just the soap, moisturiser and shower gel mountain to go!
7UU!

2 outs and 4 ins to report today!

Chucked out a Maybelline Rocket mascara in waterproof but bought 2 more today to replace it

Bought a L'Oreal True Match foundation in C2. I have tried this before and loved the formula but had the shade C1 which was too pale for me. Hopefully this one will work out better.

Used up a travel toothpaste.

Bought a tube of Soltan SPF 15 from S'drug. We are off to Dorset for the weekend so will hopefully use most of that up over the weekend

UU's
14 snow angel bath melt WBA thsi I divided into 4 and so it has lasted quite well. Still have a few more.

15 shoot for the stars bath ballisitc WBA one of my favourites for a relaxing bath.

16 mountain cabin body lotion Wnba found I smelt like a Christmas pudding which grew very sickly towards the end, I am glad it is finished.

17-18 2 sheet masks WBA

19 nail mask WNBA too small for my fingers so only had them on fingers not thumbs, they don't impress me.

INS
I'll declare what I have has so far and there is lots more still to arrive.

4 happy birthday bubble bars
4 x tramp shower gels

Hi everyone . So a few 'free' ins from the pink parcel beauty box - it was free if you signed up on international woman's day about a months ago
Black eyeliner
Tea tree hair mask
Bellamy Pierre eyeshadow
Lip glam - this reminds me of being like the dr pawpaw stuff that is supposed to be multi purpose . Will see how it goes
Also some ins in the form of sanitary pads .
The box seems okay for the rrp £10 but I am trying to use reusable pads so would be a waste getting this , although saying that the beauty products are worth more than the 10 by themselves

Spent a short while today (split into two even shorter sessions) checking my list of 'toiletries currently in use', which now looks like below.

'In Use' means the item had been opened (but wasn't necessarily in general use) before 1st Jan.
'From New' means it's something I've opened this year, but I already owned it prior to 1st Jan.
'Purchase' means something I've bought this year.

There are multiples of a number of items, as I have them in various places so I don't have to move them around all the time.

Next job (hoping for tomorrow, but it depends on what time I get out for a walk up to the next town to do some shopping and how long that takes me) is to update my list of already open items that I haven't yet put out for use. After that (hopefully early next week) it's all the unopenened items I have !!


Still not finished anything off this month, but my day cream with SPF is close to an end. And I've just dug out a number of sachet samples (shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and body whip) which I've decided can be left out to be used next week.

I updated the total number if INs and UUs to end of March in my signature, and it's not looking good :eek: But 6 of the INs are toothbrushes (2 packs of 3, but get used 1 at a time so I decided needed to be counted as 6), and 7 are lip salve sticks. So generally speaking I'm not too concerned I have almost as many INs as UUs at this point in time

I have a couple of uu's to report

Avon Colour Rich Lipstick in Pout - WMBA, this is very creamy and easy to wear, not sticky or matte, just a nice everyday pink lipstick. I am very pleased to have finished a whole lipstick.

Japonesque Pre Filled Make up Remover Swabs - these were in a beauty box an age ago, they are prefilled cotton buds. WNBA. They did the job but so would a cotton bud dipped in cleanser.

I have two more uu's

L'oreal Super Liner Luminizer - Black Diamond - this was really good, it was a little bottle with a lid rather than a pen so it didn't dry out quickly and the tip was perfect for cat flicks. WBA

Alpha H Liquid Gold Rejuvinating Cream 50ml - WNBA, I don't like this brand. This was in a pot and you pressed the top and the product came out of a tiny hole, this was good apart from the ton of plastic needed to make the pot, I only used this on my neck area and am glad it is finished now when the sun is starting to shine as products from this brand make your skin sensitive to the sun - this cannot be a good thing imo.
