No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2015

Strawberrygirl2104

Thanks for new thread Dolly. I was off this forum in September and went completely off the rails! Ordered loads of shower gel and a couple of body creams. I went through my stash and a couple of my stored shower gels had leaked. I felt really silly so I'm determined not to buy any more. I'm pushing 300 now and I will not get to that amount! So I really need this forum! It's hard though because all the Christmas gift sets are in the shops now. I have a few UU to report:
Nivea Hawaiian Bliss shower gel; very refreshing and pampering as it has little beads in it
Soap and glory The Righteous Butter, got this free with another S&G body lotion; I love this, very moisturising and smells gorgeous.
Maybelline 40 second drying nail polish in Cherry; like this but when there's much left its hard to use because it dries so quickly it clumps up on your nails.
Will post a pp list later but safe to say it will include shower gel!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The Christmas sets will be out again next year and if you get everything under control you can buy whatever takes your fancy then, or even in January as that would still give you 3 months to get some things used.

I have some uu's

Sienna X Instant Tanning Gel - this is really gorgeous, no nasty surprises as it's instant and washes off. This was just a sachet but I would buy a full size next year.

Weleda Citrus Refreshing Body Oil 100ml - WNBA, I'm not keen on body oil in general apart from the Elemis one and that is mainly because of the scent.

October has been a bit of a tough month, lots of temptations and do have some IN's to declare. I basically started reading a book about tidying and decluttering. I'm slowly getting there.

2 Perfumes, 4 perfume samples
I made my Lush xmas order as well (10 hair & bath products)

I made a large box for a friend that had roughly 23 products in it, gave 2 more items to my neighbour and a box of 6 products for another friend.

resisted the magazine freebies, and putting myself on a strict ban for the rest of this month and next.

BlueEyedGirl

Doing well this month so far, did give in and buy Elle and InStyle magazines for the freebies!

I'm tempted by the You Beauty Advent Calendar, and so is my mum so we thought about splitting one between us ....

:eek:

Before you buy it have a look through the items included and how much you would be prepared to pay for them individually and see if that exceeds the hideous price of the calendar. I did that and only really liked/wanted 4 of the items in it, there is a lot of 10ml size things which seem a bit pointless to me.

I have two more uu's

Tigi Bed Head Moisture Maniac Conditioner 250ml - I really loved this and have another bottle in the stash but it is discontinued now so I can't buy more.

Khiels Ultra Facial Cleanser 30ml - this smelt of swimming baths which I really hated and I am blaming it for a break out. It says the foaming agent is natural but the second ingredient is SLS so I am confused by that. Binned the last couple of uses. WNBA

yeah, i just looked at the contents on their website. my mum uses make up and i don't tend to, so she'd have the make up and a few other bits and i'd have the rest.
i'm not sure where they get the 'worth £330' from though, when only a few are full size!

A small UU here L’Occitane pivoine flora hand cream, really liked this one.

Been trying to use up all the creams I have on the go even the ones I don't like this week so hopefully have a few less opened things soon...
