No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2015

Hi ladies,
Three UU for me over the last few days:
Revlon lip butter in peach parfait. WIBA? This is a lovely soft lip colour, I liked it, I might look at the other colours in the range after I've used some more lip products up.
Lady Gaga Fame perfume 30ml. This is one of my favourites, so I will buy again at some point.
La Roche Posay effaclar duo + 3ml. Lots more in stock for the time being!
One completely unnecessary IN:
Original source limited edition cherry and nettle shower gel 250ml. Totally not needed, but I'm a stickler for anything cherry
Have a great day ladies!0 -
There was another UU for me report:-
Yes to Grapefruit facial wipes. Love these. I only use wipes though when I'm away or have had a night out and can't be bothered to fully cleanse. Had our Christmas party at work yesterday so used these last night. Have 2 more packs 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!

1 GA and 1 UU to report...
Don't think I remembered to put that I GA a tube of Alice + Eliza sugar plum hand cream to a friend last month who had run out.
1 UU this evening:
Montagne jeunesse Virgin Olive ultra deep cleansing mask - WBA although got another in stash. This had a pleasant scent, didn't make my eyes sting (which a lot of masks seem to do) and my skin feels nice and clean now and not greasy.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

Hello
A couple more UUs
the other Dr Hauschka cleanser (10g) WNB
Balance Me body toning shower gel 100ml - I think this had gone off WMBA.
Waitrose Pure shampoo - got this on 1/2 price for about 1.49. I like it and WBA. No scent
Peony soap0 -
A couple more UUs. If I can get five more by the end of the month I will achieve my goal of ten.
4) Philosophy Christmas Cookie shower gel - this is lovely, but I would only buy it on sale.
5) Britney Spears Wonderstruck perfume - threw it away unfinished as it is horrible. I have a feeling I bought this for a few pounds in a clearance basket. Big mistake!0 -

I have been trying to UU a Balance Me Super Moisturising Hand Cream for ages but I had enough of it now. I cut the tube and used most of it but it is too thick and the scent is too strong. I will just TA the rest.ally.0

A few more UUs, I'm pleased with my progress this month
(which will of course mean nothing goes anywhere in January!)
- Argan+ deep repair conditioner, 100ml. WNBA. Just ok.
- Lacura face treatment oil. WBA. Good value for money, sinks into skin well. Have lots of other various oils to get through first though.
- John Frieda go blonder Lightening shampoo. WBA, lasts well, lathers well, keeps my hair looking bright
- Dr Haushka regenerating face cream. WNBA. Awful smell, couldn't bear it.
- Delarom Acquaconfort cream 15ml. Nothing exciting, WNB - thankfully it was a freebie.
- Heaven cell renewal hydrogel. WNB A freebie from my mum, the second one of these. Didn't like either, used it up on my arms, does nothing!
- Dove summer glow body lotion. WBA. Generally on offer, and good value. Sinks in well, and given I'm irish/pasty and blonde, the hint of colour is quite useful
1 TA - really old and smells awful, definitely gone off!
- Transformulas FaceControl & Lightening Creme0
