No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2015...

November PP

1. Montagne Jeunnesse Pomegranate Passion Peel off mask
WMBA - I don't dislike this, but I have combination skin which responds best to a clay mask. My skin feels smoother, but I don't think like it has drawn out any gunk from below the surface.

2. SJP NYC shower gel
WNBA. Was part of a gift set with the perfume. I love the scent of the perfume, but this was nothing special as a shower gel and the scent didn't linger on the skin

3.Nivea soft moisturising creme (trial size)
WNBA - of first choice, if I wanted something this rich I would choose a body butter. Absorbs well and quite quickly for how rich it is. I have another 3 of these to go.

Using up all these little sachets over recent weeks has proven quite enlightening. I have never been one for using excessive amounts of product, but it is surprising just how little product you need to do the job. My moisturiser is a case in point. 8ml did both legs, my arms and part of my trunk.

OUT's tonight:

Lush dream steam toner tab - 2x
Lush yognog bath bomb - 1x

Took inventory of everything tonight (except makeup): Total 480 items in stash currently.

Glad to see it not just me with such a collection . I have my eye on the kitchen in Friday enchanter bath bomb is in. Not trying to enable.


1 TA Clairol conditioner 3. I have just washed my hair for the second time today as it looked like I had dipped my hair it a chip pan. It has to be the conditioner as last time I used it I my hair was greasy looking but not at the roots.

2 TA tough therapy nose peel. It is way too thick to actually get layer onto your skin, it then takes 40 minutes to dry and is hard to remove that I then need to use an exfoliate to remove the rest. not my ideas of fun even if it is a Sunday afternoon.

3 UU pure smile sheet mask in vitamins. Nice enough fits well I can actually see out the eye hole with the mouth and nose holes lined up. Fairly cheap sheet mask but lovely to wear, relaxing and cooling and not really scented.

I'm in, and I've fallen off the wagon one Day 1 of the month!

First the UU though,

Sanctuary Body Lotion 250ml WBA, but not for a while, I've had lots of Sanctuary stuff and I'm a little tired of it at the moment!

INs:
Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radient body lotion 400ml £2.65
Simple Kind to Skin replenishing Rich Moisturiser 125ml £1.95

I think I panicked becaue the stash was getting low (by my standards) but I'm going to stop being adventurous until I really am down to my "last one" hence the rather boring buys

I've been MIA for the past couple of months due to real life. I've still been carrying on with the challenge. Only managed three outs last month.

Balance me face wash - WBA really suits my skin

Gum hairspray - HG item for me

Elle McPherson foot lotion - yuck WNBA

Last month was my 5th year anniversary in doing this challenge :eek::eek::eek:

I never thought it would take me so long to shift my stash. My graduation goal was always under 200 items including all fragrance, nail polish, hair and body products and make up. In short everything! I have now hit 207 items left and I really hope to graduate this year.

So I need to get my body lotion on every day

I am in again this month. I keep all of my empties in a box in the corner of my bedroom until the end of the month and have counted them tonight. 32 items used in total for October. This included samples but there was a lot of full size items too so I am pretty chuffed.

3 UU's already this month.

Swartzkopft Absolute Platinum Hair DyeWBA Always buy this and will buy again.

Crazy Color Silver Semi Permanent Hair DyeWNBA Its ok however it did not give me the colour that I wanted so I will have to try something else.

Lush Sakura Bath Bomb WNBA as this didn't really do much at all. The colour of the water didn't even change.

Thanks for the start-off, rdone. Welcome Trixib67 and welcome back to returners.

I am still being offered an unbelievable amount of L'Oreal/Garnier to review. Not just me, it's all of us in the Vine Voice scheme.
My fellow forumites on the Amazon website Vine forum christened last month L'October. This month looks like being L'ovember.

I don't need any moisturiser now, but having used mostly Murad for the last few months (it is still wonderful and I will really miss it, outside my price range) I've accepted an offer of a fairly upmarket brand called Merumaya, as a break from L'Oreal.

Another very good body lotion arrived. Love this one.

Morning all
Hope everyone is well
Notice fizz has gone awol again, hope you are ok fizz and just to busy to pop in or now have your stash under control.

UU another bathbomb last night a bomb cosmetic cupcake one, again I think these have been stashed too long they just sulk round in the water and don't dissolve unless you crush them. I'll be glad when I've used up my current supply as I'm sure more will arrive at Christmas that I can enjoy properly.
Also UU a bottle of tresemme shampoo/conditioner have more shampoo in stash so don't need to replace.

Plan to NOT but any more toiletries until Christmas and see what comes. No pp list this month I'll just use up as much as poss.

Happy pampering all

Welcome back Sam & Fiasco. Welcome newbies.

I have some uu's

Elemis Skin Nourishing Shower Cream 50ml - this is lovely but I WNB but would happily use again.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water 125ml - I got through this very quickly so WNBA for that reason. It does a great job of removing face makeup but is rubbish for eye makeup. I have 2 full sizes of this in the stash.

I feel quite proud of myself today. I went into Boots t pick up my medication and took along some points vouchers with me including a 25% off any Christmas gift voucher. I stood at the Sanctuary section for a good few minutes having an argument in my head as to whether I really wanted anything with only 25% off. I decided against it and just picked up some deodorant and body sprays which I needed. I am working on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but I have Boxing Day off so I think I will go to the Boots sale again as I can;t resist and see if the things I considered today are left in the sale.

I do have one small IN though from the Glamour mag:

Dramatically Different Moosturising Lotion + mini.

Welcome again to newbies and returners!

Two UUs this morning.

One was a Baylis and Harding Shower Gel that I had in a set for Christmas. Was only 100ml but felt like it lasted forever! Lovely smell but I'm not sure on their cruelty free stamp so will have to investigate. I think I have another bottle from the same set in the cupboard so will use that up. I think I may then be at the end of my Christmas sets in time for this year!

The other was a shampoo I bought years and years ago and found at the back of a cupboard so decided to UU. I had pealed the label off so cannot comment on what it was. When I lived in a shared house I would do this as I found housemates were less likely to steal my products if they didn't know what they were.

I thought I would UU a Holister Body Spray this morning (which I also had for Christmas, I think people are trying to tell me something). But it seems that the dribble in the bottom is lasting forever. WNBA because it's not something I would tend to use so would rather save my money for a nice perfume instead.

When I was on holiday the week before last I stayed in a Raddison Park Inn, they boasted over their green status and being environmentally friendly due to not washing towels and bedding everyday but then the toiletries that they provided were Dove who test on animals. Any thoughts from my fellow cruelty free/vegan lovers as to whether they would find this acceptable?

Hope we all have a good week!
