No More Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Until...August 2015

BlueEyedGirl

I wish to join in, my current running total of items is 99! Rather happy with this since at point I was over the 200 mark late last year, but have given a lot away to friends... I got sick of seeing the stuff! I still unfortunately can't resist buying things, Boots is my downfall but I have to stop until this stash is down, or at least under 10 items!

Hand cream is another major downfall of mine. I buy it and don't actually use it!

RUNNING TOTAL = 99 ITEMS

welcome BlueEyedGirl, and thanks for posting your list. my tip for handcream would be to put a tube of it absolutely everywhere you think you might remember to use it. In your handbag, on your desk, by every sink in your house, by your bed. then it becomes part of your routine - at least that's the idea!

Oooh, what does this do?

Dolly, I have found it randomly when searching for "dry nail remedies" on Amazon haha and reviews were good so thought would try. You do put it on your nail like nail polish but obviously it is clear. It has a ticker consistency than nail polish of course and I have been using it for 2-3 days now. It contains jojoba and silicone that shields your nail. My nails feel better now. It is easy to apply and no bad smell. Most importantly costs £5 which is good.

BlueEyedGirl, welcome. I agree with Plumpuddig. I have a thing for hand creams and basically I have scattered them around the house, drawers at work, my handbag etc.

Also, a good news if anyone is interested in selling their unusued toiletries, make-up. Vinted is now offering listings for beauty too. I have sold many clothes on Vinted and it is cheaper than Ebay and I find it more convenient as you don't put your items on auction and there is no end date to your listings. I'm happy to help if you have any questions but the website/app is easy to use.

UU Olay 20 second wrinkle filler. This certainly 'blurred' my fine lines a bit and gave a nice smooth feel to my skin but after a while it became a bit gritty, the only comparison I can draw is when you're exercising and sweating, then it dries and goes all tight on your face. Bit gross? Probably wouldn't buy!

Welcome BlueEyedGirl! I seem to be given hand cream in every gift set I ever get. As I've said before I'm trying to use up Soap & Glory hand food atm which I keep on my desk in work. I definitely have another one some where though so I think I'll get it out and put it by the bathroom sink - that's a good idea thanks PlumpPudding

Thanks for the link asajj, I will have a look. I have a problem with peeling and splitting nails.

Welcome BlueEyedGirl.

I have another uu

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush body spray - WNBA, it smells lovely but as soon as it dries the smell is gone.

Uu a 50ml sanctuary body souffl!. WBA this has a nice scent. I do have a few tubs already still to use up though including a large tub. I've moved onto a boots extracts tub of mango body butter for now.

Thanks so much for mentioning this. I'd never heard of it. I have been trying to sell a brand new eyeshadow on ebay, it's been listed at 99p for about a month and not even had a watcher. Will try Vinted instead
(Of course, there's always a chance I'll be buying more than selling :rotfl:)
