No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2015

I completely agree! I started buying 'pudding' scented toiletries when started slimming world and find I lose more weight when I buy something like that instead of biscuits and cake! Unfortunately I can't use toiletries as quick as food!

I really should do this however all the candles/tarts I have at the moment are not foodie. I think there's definitely something in that though. We were on holiday at Disney World and found that on approaching any of the dining places the sickly sweet smell seemed to be being pumped out. This kerbed my appetite no end.

Also finished burning an Aromatherapy Associates Joy Candle, this is a £40 candle at full price (I paid much less) it is gorgeous and very scented but doesn't burn for very long for the price due to 3 wicks and it being very wide and not that deep. I have two more of these in the stash. I have replaced it with a Yankee Candle small jar in Candy Cane Lane.

I remember Candy Cane Lane from last Christmas. Was a gorgeous minty fragrance.

A couple of UU Lush Brazened Honey Facemask and Wilko Face wipes.:j % black pots now so there will be a replacement facemask making its way in soon.:money:

How does the black pot exchange work with Lush. I have a few of the larger ones at the mo. Do they only swap the smaller ones?

Finally found some time to pop on for a quick update! Hope all are well, welcome Emilou and welcome back VALM (so jealous of your haul btw!)

UU:

2/142. TBS Cocoa Butter Shower ream 250ml - WNBA, wasn't a fan of the scent (completely different to the body butter, which I adored) and found it to be too gloopy.

3/143. C&E Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage hand Therapy 25g - WMBA, loved the scent and it moisturised well without being sticky or greasy.

4/144. Tigi Bed Head Control Freak Shampoo 400ml - WNBA, others in the range I prefer. Replaced with same (my final one from the large sale stash) to use with the remains of the matching conditioner.

I have a couple of splutterers so hoping for a couple more outs before the end of the month, but it's slow going at the moment!

INs (all freebies):

3/95. L'Occitane Precious Cream 8ml

4/96. Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep Recovery night gel balm 3ml

5/97. Vichy Idealia Smoothing and illuminating cream 3ml

I have a few weekends away over the coming weeks so these will be perfect for that.

My non-make-up stash currently stands at 111 and I would love to get this to 100 by the end of November.

Hi, I got the Vichy eye cream when in the US and got a free night cream. So far I'm really liking the eye cream and glad I got this instead of Murad. Tried the Murad one on my hand after I had got the Vichy one and it was a much thicker cream. May have given me milia which I'm prone to if I use anything too creamy.

Another UU: 30ml tube of LE C&P. I only have a 30ml tube left and as Emma and I use this for an evening cleanse I am going to order the new Limited Edition one. Free p&p offer came on last night too.

I was good though last night in that I had a look in my stash and note I still have a 200ml bottle of IBST (with about 130mls on the go anyway) and have only just opened a pot of Skin Repair (which I use as night cream and have other moisturisers I can use in my stash) so am only ordering the C&P. Mind you, have just realised that I buy MrM a set of bodywashes for Christmas to keep him going so maybe I'll add these to my order. Will see.

For any other LE fans there is a TSV coming up on QVC this weekend. I'm not buying as, from memory, it contains the essentials plus Eyebright, shower gel and body cream and I have all these in my stash already.

I have only a body wash and hand cream left thankfully - I'm not keen on S&G as much !

Welcome Emilou and good luck with your stash. I have noticed there are Clarins Double Concentrate samples inside the Marie Claire this month - I bought 2 yesterday for hand creams.
I did buy another 3 before and didn't notice it and recycled the mags. :eek:

Body shop online sale is on at the moment guys!!!

I got the Virgin mojito range I'd promised myself for Christmas at ridiculous prices. There's a code if you look on the web for 40% off in addition to the sale prices. Which gave me even more off than the code showing on the website. Body butter scrub etc all down to 3 pounds or thereabouts! Can't remember exact prices. Not enabling, but if you love body shop it's worth a look. I know I've bought the mojito stuff two months earlier than I wanted to, but I was prepared to buy it myself for Xmas at 13.00 just for the body butter, I got the whole range for that price!! Very mse lol. Going to put it away for next summer now as its a summery scent I think. Got plenty of butters to use first over the winter.

So I guess that's more ins to declare, some bits I'd been wanting to try for a while:

Virgin mojito body butter 200ml
Virgin mojito body scrub 200ml
Virgin mojito body splash
Moringa hand cream
Shea eau de toilette 30ml
Shea body mist
White musk libertine eau de toilette 60ml
smoky poppy bath bombs
Coconut lip roll on (to go in mums Xmas present pile from me!)



Looking forward to the after Xmas sale now, I'm hoping to pick up the new frosted plum stuff cheap, although I may treat myself to the body splash and the 50ml butter before Xmas to try it out, and then try and get the 200ml stuff in the sale if I like it

Ladies I am breaking off from dusting my halo as I was v good and only ordered a 100ml pump of LE C&P. One if the reviews of the new limited edition C&P said int smelt like mens aftershave so I decided to give it a miss. Maybe will see if I can smell it in JL or Boots before I buy.

Welcome Emilou, let us know how you go.
A couple of NBI recently, on one website they knew I had abandoned my basket with £60 worth in it, so this morning they sent an extra discount code... but I have held off, despite tantalising free gifts and cashback options. It's the thought of all those advent goodies to come that's keeping me strong for now!
Good news on the PP list - all but one gone
1) Olay 30 second wrinkle filler 7ml
2) Origins starting over facial moisturiser 15ml
3) [FONT=&quot]Elemental herbology cell plumping facial hydrator 15 ml
4) Keratin conditioner 250ml
5) Sanctuary mandelular body scrub 200ml
6) Organic Surge sugared almond shower gel 250 ml
7) Organic Surge sweet orange body cream 200ml
8) Ren rosa centifolia exfoliating scrub 100ml
9) [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Bee Good propolis and honey 2 in 1 cream cleanser 100ml
10) Origins GinZing for tired skin 7 ml
11) Maddie Alexander rose bath oil 20ml
12) Molton Brown lip saver 10ml

[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]I w[FONT=&quot]ould buy the ren exfoliator again, really liked that.
[FONT=&quot]Other UUs
[FONT=&quot]A lovely soy candle, peony, burnt beautifully.
[FONT=&quot]2ml perfume spray Agonist onyx pearl - [FONT=&quot]t[FONT=&quot]his was from [FONT=&quot]a perfume soc box and I UU[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot] the ones I like least first. [FONT=&quot]WNB.
[FONT=&quot]Manuka [FONT=&quot]Dr rejuvenating face mask - used this as well as a exfoliating [FONT=&quot]one and my skin is great at the moment. [FONT=&quot]It was a mini, need to find out how much a full size might be. [FONT=&quot]WMB[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]ESPA op[FONT=&quot]timum skin pro[FONT=&quot]serum[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot] - [FONT=&quot]was a m[FONT=&quot]ini too, and I think this wo[FONT=&quot]uld be too much to use over more than a couple of wee[FONT=&quot]ks, for my s[FONT=&quot]kin. There is another coming in [FONT=&quot]an advent calenda[FONT=&quot]r.
[FONT=&quot]Bl[FONT=&quot]oom and Blosso[FONT=&quot]m shower gel [FONT=&quot]50ml - the idea is good, it does[FONT=&quot]n't smell of anything so that [FONT=&quot]if you're feeling a b[FONT=&quot]it fragile during pregnancy you can get clean without throwing [FONT=&quot]up, but WNB, [FONT=&quot]scent is a big part of shower [FONT=&quot]gel for me.
[FONT=&quot]Waitrose cottage [FONT=&quot]garden can[FONT=&quot]dle [/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]- WNBA, [FONT=&quot]as I think these are not natural wax. S[FONT=&quot]melt fine though. Burnt better than the Miller Harr[FONT=&quot]is one I have got on now, whi[FONT=&quot]ch is just tunnelling and the w[FONT=&quot]ick keeps snapping off.
[FONT=&quot]Skyn cooling eye pads [/FONT][FONT=&quot]- someone on here (Dol[FONT=&quot]ly[FONT=&quot] maybe) used these recently and it inspired me to do the same. I [FONT=&quot]reall[FONT=&quot]y like[FONT=&quot]d them[FONT=&quot], but [FONT=&quot]it's just not the kind of thing [FONT=&quot]I [FONT=&quot]would buy[/FONT][/FONT], [FONT=&quot]prefer to get a good eye cream.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
