No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries May 2015

Upsy_Staffordshire

I have an IN to report of Oral B toothpaste, which replaces the Oral B toothpaste that was finished yesterday. I've been doing very well recently with INs, long may it continue!

FizzWhizz - well done on averting a DD dress crisis. Your dress sounds lovely.

Willowbee - I'm glad you are enjoying the PP videos. Some of the ladies add up the cost of the items they have finished and it is shocking when they tell you the cost and you see a couple of tiny items in their hand.

Collected my L'Occitane freebie and got some shampoo and conditioner samples so a few INS

getting-there-slowly

1 TA Virgin vie gardian angel - forgot I had it and it appears to have gone off!
Oh well!

I wish there was a "post reply" option at the top of the page on the new-look forum; I'm having to scroll ALL the way to the bottom and I'm really lazy It kinda makes the option of having the most recent post at the top of the page a bit redundant IMO.

I have been into Birmingham today on the hunt for prom shoes with DD, despite being in Superdrug on a lipstick hunt for what seemed like hours I only bought DS1 some of the pore cleaning pads he likes but then I ended up in MAC so I have one IN to declare

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW20; this is my HG, I have it already in NC15 but this is a skin matched shade, as opposed to a highlighting one. I have already squirrelled it away in my overflow makeup bag, I wont open it until I have finished both my EL concealers.

DD is on the train on her way home and I am kicking back with a wee cider because it's bonk(sic) holiday Monday and quite frankly, it'd be rude not to

I've seen a couple of them do that. It is shocking! I can see that it adds to the satisfaction of finishing things but I'm not sure that I'm brave enough to do that yet :rotfl: I am tracking my monthly spending now in a straightforward list. I like to think that most things I buy are on sale or GWP etc but my list will tell me the truth about that...

FizzWhizz - I was tempted to buy a metallic Sharpie as well so I could mark things off that were in dark packaging but I managed to restrain myself for now! :rotfl:


I have three more UUs

Poeme EDP (100ml) - I'm so sad to finish this but I've had it for at least 15 years! :eek: Thankfully it kept well :rotfl: I WBA in the future but in a smaller bottle.

Estee Lauder Re-nutrive Ultimate Lift Age-correcting Cream (15ml) - the longest product title ever?? :rotfl: This was in a GWP and was lovely to try. I WNBA though as it's horrendously expensive and whilst it was nice I didn't notice any dramatic improvement to my skin.

L'Occitane Ultra Rich Shower Cream (75ml) - WNBA as I'm not keen on the scent or texture. It made a very nice hand wash though, which is how I used it up.

Happy Bank Holiday Monday to everyone :beer:

Evening ladies, hope you have all been enjoying the bank holiday

A few uu to report, some from my pp list:

Lush floating island: think I may have left this one too long in the stash before using! Nice smell but did not seem to moisturise as well as other bath melts. Wmba and use up quicker!
Lush the olive branch shower gel: this was a strange one, this isn't a thick shower gel at all, a very runny water consistency with little foaming action. When I contacted my local Lush on Twitter to see if I had a bad product I was told that it shouldn't be watery and to bring it in for an exchange. When I took it in and explained the the SA she then told me that they were all like that and it was meant to be that way. Felt a bit silly as you'd have thought the staff member on Twitter would also have known it was a watery product! Oh well, their loss as wnba.
Body shop coconut lip oil: had this for a while and rather than use it on my lips decided to use it as a cuticle/hand oil to use up. Wnba as have other products I prefer.
Lush rub rub rub shower scrub PP: second pot of this, good amount of scrubbing particles and leaves skin oily after which I like. Wba after I use two clarins scrubs I have.
Body shop almond hand cream PP: have had this previously, nice enough, love the almond scent but found that using too much made my hands quite oily after, good to apply at night but not during the day. Wmba when on offer.
Nuxe reve de miel lip balm PP: love this, leaves lips soft and moisturised without looking shiny and greasy. Wba and have another in stash.
S&G daily smooth body butter mini: liberated this from holiday minis stash as had one body application left. Lovely scent, sinks in fairly quickly and doesn't leave me sticky. Wba.

1 UU, Jason Biotin shampoo.

I didn't even use this up in the end, the OH did. WNBA, but I think he would.

That's it! I haven't had another UU in at least a month. How disappointing!

Hello all, sounds like some quality Bank Holidays were had!

2 UUs
Balance Me wonder eye cream - am onto the next one in the stash
dr lipp nipple balm- used this every night for 18 months on my lips and no cracked lips this year. Am looking for something similar to replace it. Think I will try the sachet of Lanolips

Interesting to read about James Read sleep mask tan stuff - just used for 2nd consecutive night on face and am now think it's a bit much for my pasty complexion. Might just use lightly as a one off once a week

Morning all
Hope everyone had a great bank holiday

Another 4 gone off the PP list
Used up two splutterers - the sit tight cream, felt warming and rather nice but not sure if it actually did anything I only paid 50p so would buy again if I saw it at the boot for that but wouldn't pay what boots are asking for it.
A champneys body lotion tube, felt really nice but I've got loads of body lotions so won't need to buy again for ages!
Used the sample sachets of the gradual fake tan stuff I've got a tube of that in the cupboard I keep forgetting about.
TA a sample tube of 30 second wrinkle filler, I just couldn't get on with it, wasn't the right colour and seemed to make the wrinkle between my eyebrows worse and even more noticeable.
