No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2015
Comments

Hi ladies.
I have a uu
Lancome Gentle Softening Cleanser 50ml - this was quite nice but it was halfway between a milk and a lotion which is applied to cotton pads, it starts to run off the pad as you try to use it so WNBA.
I tried to sharpen the teeny eye pencil in my Dior palette this morning but it is so tiny and just keeps breaking so I have chucked it out. I will use another brown eye pencil for the rest of the month.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I'm back! Thanks Babafette for starting us off, I'm belatedly in again this month.
A quick post and run, will catch up properly later when I have more time.
No IN's yet for the month, and none planned.
I did, however have an unreported free IN in August (#78) - the OS shower gel. This was used on my hols.
UUs so far this month:
1/129. Soltan SPF15 75ml - this really balls on the skin. Handy size but will not repurchase once the stash is finished.
2/130. OS Coconut & Shea Butter Shower Gel 200ml - WMBA, smelled good and did the job.
3/131. Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion SPF15 - WDBA, love everything about this.
4/132. Nivea Light Feeling Sun Lotion SPF10 - WNBA, another one that balls. This is ancient from a £1 glitch several years ago.
5/133. HT Body Butter After Sun 200ml - HG, WDBA
6/134. L'Occ Shea Butter Foot Cream 10ml - freebie and nice enough but WNB.
7/135. Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet EDP 1.5ml - freebie, nice but others I prefer.
TA 1/5: Lee Stafford Climate Control Protection Spray 150ml - did nothing for me so left behind as this was a relic.
I'm not going to do a PP list this month but will aim for another 3 UUs to finish the month down 10 - may be easier said than done as I have lots of full sizes on the go!MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -

Hi all - currently in the midst of a 13 day stretch at work but have managed a couple of UUs:
Burt's Bees Peppermint & Vitamin E Lip Balm: DH kept complaining that this smelt of cigarettes! It's not a nice scented product but it works well. I have a few flavour varieties in the stash. WMBA.
Palmolive Dolphin Aquarium Hand Wash 300ml: My favourite of the range so far. WDBA.
Various samples x2.
I, too, have succombed to the Marie Claire mag (I find the mag boring but the freebie and samples were hard to resist!) so my INs are:

Morning ladies,
2 more UUs from my travel bag.
Gilchrist and Soames sea lettuce shampoo 30ml. Smelled lovely and fresh. A hotel freebie.
Nivea cocoa in shower moisturiser sample sachet. I'm still not sold on this stuff. I think I still have another one in my stash.0 -
I have some uu's
Aromatherapy Associates De Stress Mind Bath Oil 7.5ml - more of these in the stash so no need to buy.
Aqueous Cream 500g - this was passed onto us by a relative for DD's eczema but there is no way I would put this stuff on her skin so I used it as foot cream and it lasted forever. Another pot the same size in the stash to use but WNBA.
Epsom Salts 300g - used in the bath with the bath oil to ease muscles.
L'occitane Mistral & Mer Shower Gel 50ml - this smelt nice although it was quite masculine but it was very runny and didn't lather well and generally a bit naff. WNBA and wouldn't pay their prices for shower gel, there is nothing special about them.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I've seen this reduced at the outlet and also online so not a winner with everyone by the sound of it.
UUed the LE serum this morning. Was lovely. Maybe will purchase one day.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
