No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2015
Comments

Good evening ladies,
I'm in again of course. It's been a slow month so far for UU.
So far we have:
SG cherry and almond shower gel 250ml, TBH the scent was a bit disappointing, but it's nice enough, cruelty free and cheap enough. I will try others next.
La Roche Posay Efflaclar duo + 3ml. A staple at the minute (see below)
The organic pharmacy rose lipbalm 5ml I think. More glossy than balmy in a squeezey tube. I don't think its a BA.
I have a couple of other lip products that are on their last legs too, so those will be the next UUs I suspect.
Now for the Black Friday bargain INs:
I found La Roche Posay at 40% off so I purchased the full size Efflaclar duo + 40ml, and received three sample sizes (another Efflaclar duo+ 3ml, Efflaclar H 3ml and a Cicaplast Baume B5 3ml) then a travel size blemish kit (another Efflaclar duo+, toner and face wash). So 7 INs.
Will need to Get pampering to balance those out...0 -
I too am not bothering. Still have most f last years in stash I think. Those huge bottles last so long. Not a fan of Hand Food or the lip gloss either.
Me too
I got sucked into the initial S&G hype when there was a Boots grabbit thread years ago and still working my way through them now.
TBH IMO the scent is a bit over powering and the bottles go on foreverrrrr!
I too dislike the hand food, it goes off really quickly and smells quite vile. I actually complained to S&G a few years ago about the hand food and got a really rude arrogant email back from them. :eek: That has put me off even more from using their products!!Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -
There is a refuge local to me, but I cannot remember how to get things to them, so I am sending to Give and Make Up as per Caroline Hirons blog

Some more UU's for me.
Pearl Drops 50ml Toothpaste - WMBA This was ok really, standard for a toothpaste. I have replaced this with another from my stash in the form of Colgate Luminous Whitening Toothpaste.
Loreal Elvive Thickening Conditioner - This was average, didn't really do that much for my hair. WMBA if on offer.
Bomb Cosmetics Fairy Whispers Bath Melt - This had a lovely smell and made my skin feel nice and soft. I have some more to replace this however not in this scent.
Benefit Eye Cream Sample - This was ok I suppose, I didn't see any improvement or signs that it was helping. WNBA but would accept as a gift.0 -

Well done for using up an eyeliner. I have been using the same eyeliner for an absolute age and it just won't end, the worst of it is it's only a half size one from a palette, it is very dark though so I can't use much.
I have some ins
Tanya Burr Riding Hood Nail Polish - this is my absolute favourite red so I have bought this as a backup. I got it on ebay in the old style bottle for £2.99 including P&P.
Essie Gel Setter Top Coat
Essie Good to Go Top Coat
Essie Winter 2015 Collection
The Winter collection was a GWP with a £15 spend, I was going to actually buy that so as I go through topcoat quite quickly I decided to get 2 instead, I had a £10 voucher from doing surveys so only £8.98 spent.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
UU's
Big Bang bubble bar WNBA disappointed by scent, still have a couple more.
Yummy yummy yummy shower gel WNBA not really a fan of the scent.
Schwarzkopf essence ultimate conditioner WMBA I liked the product but found the scent too overpowering but if it was on a decent offer might repurchase. I bought this last Christmas as part of a really cheap offer on boots for less than a £1.
Anti trouble bubble cleanser WNBA nice enough, this was a cleanser than you push down the top and foam came out. I am prefer foam cleansers than are a soap and you foam in your hand rather than one that comes out as a foam.
5 items sold on eBay.
INs
I find it very difficult to resist a bargain.
6 x Clairol hair conditioner, this was 3 200ml bottles for £1.
3 x Pantene hair conditioner £1 for 3 75ml bottles ideal for holidays
2 x deep conditioner treatments
I think that's it for now.0 -
