No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2015

I have 2 UU to report but can't think for the life of me what their official names are.
One was a Soap & Glory body moisturiser - wouldn't particularly buy again as it was quite thick and didn't spread very well and took ages to soak in so I was walking around like a naked zombie for quite a while. But I had two of these gift sets for Christmas so I have started on the second.
The other was from the same set and was a body wash. Was nothing particularly wrong with it but it didn't have a beautiful scent so I wouldn't rush out to buy it again.
Now that I've decided to sort my stash out and UU before I purchase anything new I'm really struggling. I have this over whelming urge to go out and buy nice things but am willing myself not to... any tips for helping me get over this?My debt free diary

My updated list! I've marked my INs, since I began, in red. I'm obviously worst with hair products... they last a lot longer than other products and I get sick of them easily! I also react to a lot of shampoos so have to be careful what I use and how long I use it for (I've been experimenting, and it definitely seems that using the same shampoo for weeks on end does not work for my hair - my scalp builds up and bleeds which is horrible).
