No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries June 2015

Almostthere78

Another one bites the dust! I can't believe how much stuff I am getting through?! Prior to this challenge and I think I probably only threw away one thing (if that) each month?!?

14. Lush Roots Hair Treatment 225g. I initially used this as a treatment but didn't really see much of a difference so have just been using it as normal conditioner. Wouldn't buy again, it's nice and refreshing with the whole tingly scalp thang but it just isn't conditioning enough for my long hair unfortunately. Will carry on using my already open Macadamia Oil Deep Repair Mask that I love love love!

Another IN to declare Lee Stafford Bleach Blonde purple shampoo. Because I am weak.

Weareghosts, where did you find the soft & gentle pear, I've been looking for it for ages but can't find it in the supermarkets round here, maybe I keep missing it :-(

It was in a Bodycare store. Can't find a website for them, but here's a store locator http://www.localstore.co.uk/stores/82796/bodycare/
Superdrug stock it too, but I tend to buy it when they have offers on.

3 UU's this weekend and two more items that will possibly be used up tonight!

• Jason Biotin conditioner – WNBA, didn't seem to work with my hair
• Garnier Ultimate Blends Strength Restorer Shampoo – WNB, has sulphates so I ended up using it to wash my brushes
• Apahi shine pray (or something like that) WNB, did nothing for me

2 UU's to report....finally!!

1. Laura Mercier eye cream - sample, lasted me about a month and I used it every day. WMBA, not sure how much this actually costs as i was just given some sample sachets. Very rich and moisturizing though, and never caused my makeup to run like some other eye creams.

2. Iaso Gel cleanser - WNBA too expensive for what it is.

Also 2 TA's. 1 Bourjois lip gloss that the cap never sealed tight enough and 1 essence one that had the same issue. I hate throwing things away but I cannot stand putting my hand in my handbag to find there is lipgloss smeared around in it.

Hope Monday is not too bad for you all.

Hi ladies. 2 INs at weekend but nothing unecessary: Cotton wool pads and a bottle of Garnier Micellar Water which will replace the LE Eyebright I'm using at the moment (this product bottle is very very light now).

4 UUs though:-

LE Ltd Ed Grapefruit and Pachouli C&P. This is my favourite Ltd Ed so maybe will repurchase when I have run out of C&P completely. Have a 200ml tube to open next. After that I only have 1 x 50ml pump and, I think, 2 x 30ml tubes. I want to save all these for our hols in September though. I see there is another Ltd. Ed out. Anyone tried it?

L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap. HG product and plenty more in the stash where this came from. No repurchase for this just yet.

L'Occitane Whipped shea shower mousse. WNBA. Came with one of those TSV kits. Glad to try it from a kit but wouldn't repurchase. Not a fan of foaming products though this one did not dry my skin as usual. If I wanted this kind of fragrance I'd probably go for Elemis Nourishing shower cream instead.

Soap and Glory Foam Call. I tipped the last of this and the L'Occitane one above into my bath yesterday to finish them off and make bubbles. This product, funnily enough, did not foam up in my bath water! Nice shower product nonetheless and WBA.

Have a Liz Earle Bergamot and Ginger shower gel/lotion and a L'Occitane Verbena shower gel on the go at the moment. Also have a can of Vaseline cocoa butter body lotion on the go which is nearly UUed so will pull out a sweet smelling shower gel to go with this, probably a Philosophy one. Still have loads of shower gels left. Don't really want to buy any as I'm now waiting for my Bath and Body works splurge when I go over to the US in September.

Has anyone seen the OPI TSV that is coming up on Wednesday. I looked at the colours on shoppingtelly and then looked at a blog called I'm a Beauty Geek. This blogger is brilliant as she swatches loads of dupes. I have a dupe for the red colour (really don't need any more reds!) and a dupe for the pink (and this is a jelly formula that I don't like either) and considering I have just given away some blues am not particularly bothered about that colour though it has a shimmer through it that looks really nice. I also don't need any more Avoplex or Nail Envy. Problem is though that I am on my own on Wednesday evening so will have to stay strong and keep the TV off/on another channel. Saying that though I like the pink glitter in this new collection and may see if the Q are selling that. No, I must be strong x

Sold 1 full bottle of perfume, 3 Rimmel EyeShadow Trios, 1 No 7 BB Lip Balm over the weekend. All but one EyeShadow trio is out.
I have listed some more products so fingers crossed.

I have too many nail polish and lipsticks - not sure what I'm going to do with them :eek:

How long does it take you to UU a lipstick?

VALM: Stay strong x

2 more UU

Sure shower fresh roll on - WMBA didn't love the scent but it does ok job. Got another stashed.

Beauty babes bath cream - WNBA it's from an old gift set so doubt it's still around. Wasn't anything that special, bubbles didn't last long and scent wasn't strong enough for my liking.

It takes a while to use up a lipstick but not as long as blooming eyeshadow, at least you can focus on one and re-apply.

I have a uu

Clinique Chubbystick in Strawberry - this was a GWP size and I WNB as even though it was lovely there are offerings from Revlon etc that are cheaper and just as nice.

Hi all,

I've slowly been doing this as I would buy stuff and mostly 'leave it for best' and the best occasion would never come so it just wouldn't get touched. Sods law! Glad to know there are others like me who buy too many toiletries without using them!

UU - Dettol cucumber no touch hand soap refill - WBA! One of the few hand-soaps-in-a-bottle that don't give me hives on my hands. Nice soft clean feeling and the smell is lovely.
UU Vaseline intensive care hand lotion - took my ravaged hands (thanks to the hospital hand soap and hand sanitiser) and brought then back to life each night as best it could. Then when relative was discharged it cleared up the broken skin and allergic reaction to the hospital soap completely within 3 days. Would definitely buy again.

I'll be reading through the thread for recommendations though as I'm just not getting on with my shampoo at the moment. Can't find one that 'works' for my dyed hair right now. I'm even trying out 2 Lush shampoo bars and the 3 sample pieces they sent with them and none of them are really doing my hair any good so far!
