No More Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Until...August 2015

mcculloch29

No more new toiletries on offer, which is probably just as well, but I've got a gorgeous pair of straighteners.
Very happy with these, they are really, really good.
I am not going to accept this though.
Stick on gold coloured silver nail.

UU/TA from the PP list

Neil's Yard Bee Lovely Hand Cream - was nearly gone, but the scent had turned nasty so had to TA. I liked the (original) scent, but it was a bit greasy, WMBA. Moved on to a Crabtree & Evelyn Orange hand cream.

Thanks for all of the lovely welcomes! This thread has certainly made me take notice of what I already have - and what has been sat around, neglected, for far too long. (Hint: Not my cash card. Ahem!)

My PP list for this month is short, but sweet.

• Whittard's Bathtub Tea Soak
• Body Shop Vitamin E Gentle Facewash
• Aussie Dual Personality Hair Protection & Shine Serum
• Sainsbury's Apple Conditioner
• Sainsbury's Apple Shampoo
• Tresemme Colour Vibrance Shampoo
• Body Shop Cooling Peppermint Foot Soak
• Rapid White Teeth Whitening System

I actually managed to UU the Tresemme Colour Vibrance Shampoo (WBA) and the Body Shop Vitamin E Face Wash (WBA) this morning in the shower. I had no idea the facewash was nearing the end of it's life, so had to cut the top off and scoop it out. The shampoo has been spluttering for the last three weeks, despite the fact I wash my hair everyday, it kept on giving.

I hate the Sainsbury's Apple Shampoo (it's not that bad, but it's not wonderful either) so I made a deal with myself this morning. I will use up the shampoo (about a 1/4 full) and, when it's finished, I also ditch the conditioner (2/3 full) that came with it. The Whittard's Bath Tea Soak was a Christmas present (in 2013!) It needs using. So, I'm planning on a pampering evening tonight (complete with mani-pedi!) and a mouth full of teeth whitening product that I've been too lazy to use. Imagine the scene

The Whittards Tea Soak sounds intriguing, I love tea, is it a nice product?

Olivia body butter - this washout of a vegan kind box. it smelt amazing but was too think and didn't really sink in so WNBA
Benefit mini that gal - i like this but i think its over priced for what it is so WNBA.
Clarins mini hyrda quench serum - this has been in my stash for so long I'm so glad to finally see the back of it! WNBA.
Bleach shampoo - WNBA, this is the one with SLS in that i reckon is irritating my scalp.

I have INs, the new Narcissist palette from Nars with 8 gorgeous eyeshadows in which i will use every single one of and a mini black eyeliner (i know! more eyeliner!). Also my little box came so Ins of a mini Korres body lotion and a So Susan mini lip gloss/gel blush. there also a bronzer thats gone straight to my mum as i don't use it. I'm cancelling this though - its been rubbish the past two months and is much more expensive than the other boxes!

there was a red card at home so i think my vegan kind beauty box has come too.

I cancelled My Little Box recently, it was the bic pen and rubbish little notebook that convinced me:eek:.

I used a No7 voucher yesterday to get some of their face wipes, not really counting as in though as they are for DD for a school trip and upcoming camps she will be going on.

Superdrug have them on offer for £1.03, on top of the coupons there is 50p cashback for them at the minute on the checkoutsmart app if you use this. Hope you manage to get your hands on them, they do leave white marks but I am happy to put up with that for the no aluminium and the nice scent.

Thank you very much! These had been on Clicksnap but only for Boots, Tesco and Asda, and I hadn't managed to track them down. Tried Superdrug this morning, and bingo! It also give me the push to finally install the COS app - lots of goodies to be had, I may avail myself of the free OS shower gel from T later... Picked up two of the Soft & Gentle but I don't count deodorant in the stash. Perfect timing too as I have a fair amount of travel coming up and am low on deo. So :beer:
I have a couple of UUs:

10/123. Champneys Citrus Blush Shower Gel 200ml
11/124. Champneys Citrus Blush Body Lotion

These were gifted and I love them - beautiful fragrance, the gel lathers well so a little goes a long way, and the body lotion is so rich, easily absorbed and non-sticky that I WDBA - normally dislike lotions, much preferring butters.

I think I'll replace these with the S&G Sugar Crush duo I picked up in the sales - there were mixed reviews about the scent on here so hoping I like it!


Happy weekend lovelies! x

I was having the same issue trying to track them down in my local Asda, was delighted when I saw them appear on COS The OS showergel is only available from T's online just in case u didn't notice x

Two more UU

- Estee Lauder "Take it Away" make up remover (30ml GWP) - WNBA - it doesn't get mascara off

- Sanex body wash (one shower size sample). WNBA - it includes various chemical nasties, I can find a nicer non-perfumed one (I have an A'Kin one)

That tempted fate. :rotfl: A mini tube of face and body sunscreen on offer, the Garnier body lotion with self-tanner and face wash for oily skin.
Not taking any of them this time.
Any lotion with self tanner has never gone well with me, spend ages exfoliating to use it, the results are always patchy and I wear trousers all the time anyway!

Have finally UUed the Umberto Gianini dry shampoo. Back to using Batiste. Will need to go to Boots at lunch though for a hair colour as I thought the white bits I was trying to rub in was the Batiste but was really my roots.


So updated PP list looks like this:

Tresemme conditioner
Elemis lime blossom balancing cleanser.
Garnier Micellar water.
Aussie no rush shower gel
LE Brightening mask
Cutex nail polish remover.

Only have the Molton Brown hand lotion left from those products hanging on from last month and am trying to UU by using as a body lotion

I originally posted:-


"I also still have the Cargo blush and Bobbi Brown eyeshadow on the go from my finish 4 by 4 July challenge and on top of this have two mascaras that I want to UU".


All of these make up items are going strong ! However, I have nearly UUed my concealer and will look for a cheap one at Boots at weekend. My Laura Geller Bronze N Brighten is about to hit pan but I'll wait until I'm in the US to repurchase (if at all considering Summer is nearly gone). Also spluttering is my Smashbox Brow Tech. I only had a palette of the three colours so not full sized products however both the blonde and taupe have very little product around the edges of their individual pans. Tried using brunette this morning but it's way too dark for me. Again, may get this in the US unless I decide to get another brand.


Loving the NARS palette you got evilsquid.




So plenty to go at.

Do have a couple of INs I want to get today which are travel pots. I want to depot my LE Skin Repair as the tube was not letting much product out. I've cut it open but it's too full to leave that way. Also want a spare spritzer bottle for the Micellar water. Am going to use it to clean my make up brushes.[/QUOTE]
