No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2015

  • Hi everyone!
    Thanks to babafette for the new thread. I'm back in again. I've had a bit of a mixed start to September with an unexpected flurry of UUs, too many INs, and a welcomed eBay sale to save the day.

    OUTs
    1/73. UU Scarlett EDT. Don't know if Cacharel even make this anymore.
    2/74. UU Eve Lom Cleansing Balm. Travel size from a beauty box. I hated this! Ended up using some of it with a pumice on my feet. WNB.
    3/75. UU Cowshed Lippy Cow Lip Balm. Nice enough, liked the smell but really runny and didn't last long. WNBA.
    4/76. UU Lush Breath of Fresh Air Toner Mist. Love this. WBA even though it's more of a squirt than a mist.
    5/77. TA Dr PawPaw Original Balm. Mini size, used as lipbalm. Really liked this but it completely split open in my handbag so for that reason I don't know if I'd get again.
    6/78. UU Vichy dercos anti-dandruff shampoo. Does the job but a little bit expensive so will only get on offer.
    7/79. UU Toni & Guy Nourish Reconstruction Mask. Quite nice but no better than a standard conditioner. WMBA
    8/80. UU Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion. 10ml from beauty box. WNB. Didn't like it at all, used it on my arms.
    9-29/81-101. Sold 20 items as a 'beauty box' on ebay! So pleased these will go to someone who actually gets to use them.

    INs
    1/47. Superdrug Vitamin E Micellar Water
    2/48. Garnier Micellar Water
    3-5/49-51. 2x Garnier Micellar Wipes, 1 x Superdrug Vitamin E Wipes
    6-7/52-53. Vichy Shampoos to replace the above UU. Got the sensitive scalp and paraben free ones to try. Were 1/3 off at mydermacenter
    8/54. Vichy Bi-Phase Eye Make up Remover. Same offer as shampoos. So far v. impressed.
    9-12/55-58. 3x Vichy samples and 1x Roger & Gallet EDT sample. Free with above Vichy order.
    13-15/59-61. Magazine freebies! 2x Neals Yard Body Lotions. 1x Balance Me cream cleanser. (Thanks asajj!)
    16-19/62-65. Sachets from magazines.

    So a mixed bag so far! Must remember to post more often so I don't have to do these marathon posts!
    Hope everyone's having a good weekend! :)

    A uu from me

    Imperial Leather Paradise Island Bubble Bath 500ml - this smelt lovely and was very bubbly but I got through the bottle very quickly compared to others. WBA but only at £1 like this bottle was. Have replaced it with another Imperial Leather but in the Calming scent.

    I went into Boots at the weekend and wasn't remotely tempted which is great. No ins this month so far and only 4 in total since 1st August.

    Hello ladies.

    UUed another sachet of L'occitane Divine oil yesterday. Really love this product.

    Received a sample of the new LE serum in the post so will try to use that tomorrow morning.

    Did buy a new eyeshadow brush at weekend from TK Maxx but it was only £3.00. Got it for applying shadow to my crease. It's worked well too. I'm presently using Naked 2 loaned to me by Emma but am not sure about all the colours. Some are very sparkly and heavily pigmented whereas I have sparkly ones in my Smashbox Full Exposure pallette that are not.

    Repainted my nails yesterday and am wearing OPI You Don't Know Jacques.
    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!

    Have gone under 110 toiletries this month, so very happy.

    UU

    Avon Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil x 2
    Avon Skin So Soft Body Cream
    Superdrug Naturally Face Mask
    Good Things Manuka Facial Cleanser
    Coconut Conditioner
    Nip & Fab Glycolic Fix Pads
    Waitrose Sensitive Soap
    Body Shop Vitamin E Sorbet Face Cream

    IN

    Superdruga Naturally Radiant Glycolic Overnight Peel x 2
    Provence Vegetable Soap

    Total = 107
  • Tossed out 2 eye shadows over 5 years old and mascara and lipstick. I loved the container of the lipstick but it was discoloured. It's difficult to be ruthless but needed.
  • UUs:

    Montagne Jeunesse Apple & Cucumber face mask

    Savers Pur Shea Butter and hemp hand cream: WNBA, unfortunately not a good alternative to TBS one. Very tacky and not moisturising enough.
    Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour cream protectant: Was like slathering vaseline on my face and smelt like Vicks.

    Ins has increased this month due to products bought for my holiday hand luggage:

    Nivea Body Lotion Intensive Moisture
    2 x Nair hair removal cream
    Argan Oil Cream
    Aqueous Cream
    2 x Simple soaps
    Make Up Gallery Nail hardener
  • Hello everyone. I have 2 UU, 2 TA and 4 INs. I brought Superdrug Vitamin E Day Cream, Night Cream, Eye Cream and Night Oil. I got it in theBuy 1 get 1 half price offer so only cosy me £9 :j. My TA'a were nail polish's that had gone bad.
    My PP List is as follows with my UU's

    2. Centreparcs Shampoo
    3. Rosecea Cream Done WNBA, it left my skin dry.
    4. Avon Hand Cream

    I have ordered 2 trial size Paula's Choice products and they have arrived. It is good that they offer trial sizes.

    On the other hand, I have a painful spot in my earlobe :( I get them often, mostly due to shampoo irritating the area. So annoying!

    I get them too and I rub coconut oil in them and I also changed my shampoo to something with less preservatives x
