No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2015

BlueEyedGirl

Gave in and bought Glamour magazine for the free Nail Inc. Polish, got the Red one otherwise known as 'Victoria & Albert'

Looks like everyone is doing well using up items! My friend and I had quite a haul yesterday. Definitely the most I've spent on toiletry items but I knew I wouldn't be returning to that place for a long while. Plus I got two trial size sets of nice face and skin care items I had been wanting to try... I will update the list when I can.

I see the body shop has a new scent this Christmas, frosted plum. I love plum. Between this and boots extracts spiced apple I can't see this ending well!!! best be good until Christmas and then it's okay to treat myself isn't it :o:o:eek:

Oh my god. I want it all!

I stumbled across this thread searching google to do a product comparison and it was exactly the reminder I needed that I already have a TON of stuff to use, why the hell am I even considering buying more, especially for a product I arguably don't really need and definitely with money I haven't got to spare....addiction!! Thank you all for creating such a supportive group - even if I am losing my marbles with this addiction at least I can see I have some excellent company! Lol joking aside, addiction does seem to be the best word for this crazy urge to buy more stuff all the time. I have ended up throwing away so much I'm ashamed to even think about it. I have tried the eBay route but frankly, by the time their fees, postage and PayPal fees are settled we're talking loss reduction not profit......still, every little helps right? The serendipity of finding this thread has already saved me £40 I was on the brink of spending with QVC (my guilty pleasure)! Madness. I'm going to see if I can find the Facebook group too!

One UU for me Sure deoderant WDBA - have another five in stock though before I need to get more.

I like the idea someone had of putting £1 in a pot for every UU and then treating themselves to an advent calendar. Think I may start doing this and build it up for next xmas.

Welcome. I agree about selling stuff on ebay, I would rather just use what I have than sell it for a loss just so I can buy more stuff.

I got an email about the You Beauty advent calendar yesterday, I had this one last year and did like it. Out of the 24 items there were only 4 that I would actually want, I am so over 10ml tubes of supposedly fantastic face creams, what is the point if I have no intention of buying the full size. It is very expensive and as a non member I have to pay postage so I will not be buying it.

As for other advent calendars I won't be remotely tempted, I don't like single brand ones as it just gets really boring.

I still have plenty of the Body Shop christmas things from last year so I don't intend to even bother looking at this years.

I have a uu

Elemis Tranquil Touch Body Scrub 200ml - this is very nice and lasted ages, using just a bit works better than a lot which is more :money:. I don't actually buy body scrubs on their own so WNBA but would use again.

Some UU's for me, including off my PP list, yay!

- Aldi shampoo (can't remember what)
- Aldi Carino conditioner with Argan Oil. WMBA. Actually very good, and good value for money, but I've had better.
- Dove Purely Pampering body lotion. WMBA. Nice, and good value for money on sale, sinks in well.
- Kiehls Creme de Corps sachet. WNBA. Fine, but nothing special, and too expensive to consider.
- Hikers Foot Healer sachet. WDBA - loved this! Sank in really well, and lovely smell. I must find this...! Will use up my other foot creams, then I'm buying this

Lots of new faces, hi to all:D

I have managed to resist all the magazine freebies and a few things on QVC that I have earmarked for the future when the stash is at a sensible level, but still struggling to leave enough time for body moisturising, I have been tired and not getting up early enough, so as soon as we return from this weekend's jaunt to Wales I will have to start setting an alarm in the mornings (don't have to get up for work) and try and establish a better routine:)

First GA (not on PP list:()

35ml Fashion Secret Flawless Primer just too siliconey for me.

I have bought Laura Geller Spackle to try from e-bay so hope that this works for me.

Not too impressed by the Boots, Lush, Superdrug Christmas ranges this year...don't think I'll be purposely asking for anything unless theres some good Star offers. A little IN L'Occitane Pivoive sublime sample.

Oh has anyone tried the Aldi Caviar face creams? I went hunting but sold out everywhere.
