No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2015
Comments

I have UU'ed MD Formulations Facial Cleanser today. I bought this nearly 4 years ago..So I decided to use it as a shower gel as I didn't want to put it on my face. When I used it for the first time, it seemed to work but dried my skin badly. It is not cheap. WNBA.
Clinique Facial Soap mini. WNBA. Not for my skin. This was a freebie from somewhere. I and Clinique skincare don't get along well.
I'm using No7 Blissful body wash at the moment. There is nothing blissful about it. No scent but leathers well. I did buy it at least a year ago during January sales - so may be it has gone off? Not sure if shower gels would go off.
I'm in the mood of throwing away. I'm fed up with amount of staff I have. When I go a shop, I don't want to buy even the smallest thing. Good sign. I had that crazy idea of throwing away all my old make-up and keeping only couple of nice ones. I might do this soon.ally.0 -
Welcome Emilou.
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?
Providing its still on...I've not been for a while, you take in 5 clean and dry black pots e.g. face mask, foot cream size not small ones and you can swap for a face mask see https://www.lush.co.uk/article/recycling-our-black-potsDebt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
2 UU today.
Argan oil conditioning hair mask- WBA these are great and a bargain! Only a pound and wayyyy better than more expensive brands. It's a thick consistency, smells gorgeous and does a great job!
FCUK pure body mist - WBA I like the scent of this. Got another somewhere.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

VALM - well done on being sensible with your Liz Earle order. I have one of the limited edition C&P and was disappointed to read the ingredients and find that the limited bit was just scent and nothing else.
plumpudding - I have used the Skyn Iceland eye pads but not recently it was someone else, I liked the novelty of them but WNB.
I have some uu's
Cath Kidston Rose & Carnation Soap - WNB but would use again if it came as a gift as this one did.
Yardley English Daisy Soap - WNBA, this just turned to mush.
Clinique All About Eyes 5ml - WBA, I have replaced it with a full size of the same and - drum roll please - this is the last eye cream I have in my stash. I am super pleased to be able to say that.
Clarins Relax Bath & Shower Concentrate 100ml - WBA, I love this and have been a fan for years.
Hawaiian Tropic Lime Coolada Body Butter 200ml - WNBA in this scent as I much prefer the coconut one, it is still lovely though but very different in texture to the coconut which is like buttercream. I have 6 more pots of this in the stash to use though:eek:.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I know, it used to be the case that at this time of year I would order enough to get the GWP but there's no point as the GWP offer is pretty naff this year and includes items I already have in my stash.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!

It was meI liked them, I could still feel the cooling effects hours later, but like you I'd prefer a good eye cream. I have never bothered using one before, though, if anyone could recommend one or two?
