No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2015

getting-there-slowly

I'm back again! November was very stressful at work, beautifying was a distant thought, must try more because in the end I'd probably feel better (I don't think work is going to be any better this month though ��)

This has probably been said before but I've got loads of bubble bath that doesn't get used. I'm going to decant it into my shower gel bottle and get it all used up.

First UU of the month this morning:
Fake Up from Benefit - WNBA because of their animal testing ways. Have replaced with Boing by Benefit, this has already hit pan so I'm hoping it'll be gone quickly!

Some of you seem to UU so many items in a month... how do you do this? Are they all small items or do you do a lot of pampering? I wear make up every day but it seems to last forever (which is good on the products I like).

Maybe they are items that were nearly used up anyway? Or maybe people use items they want to get rid of in a creative way? For example, if I am not loving a moisturiser I will often use it on my hands, feet, elbows etc to use it up quickly. Or if I don't like a shower gel I will pour some in my handwash dispenser and use the rest in the shower in order to get through the bottle quickly.

Thank you for the new thread.
I popped into Lidl at the weekend and bought a roll of the clear wrapping paper. I hope to get some of my stash wrapped up for Christmas gifts, think it always looks much nicer if they are nicely presented with some frilly ribbon too.

Hello rdone, 39 UUs in one month was really good for me, but I'm swimming a lot at the moment, which means showering more often and therefore taking make up off or cleansing, using shampoo/conditioner/shower gel/body moisturiser/face moisturiser more often etc. In Nov a lot of my UUs were 50ml/30ml sizes for the swim bag, some I had already started. It'll all be undone by my inability to resist beauty advent calendars this month!

Hi ladies!

I'm back in for this month. Sorry for going AWOL last month, I’ve been flat out with work, some family stuff, and lots of travelling.

I've had a few outs since I last checked in, but have completely lost track by now. A couple of big things finished though. Nothing amazing or worthy of a HG anyway.

But – I've also had quite a few ins No purchases other than essentials (deodorant), but I did get lots of minis and freebies from my mum after some trips back home – she loves beauty boxes and keep things for me and my sister. It’s all stuff I’ll use though, and I've got a LOT of travelling over the first few months of last year, so the minis will be perfect. I'm going to sort through and package them up this weekend e.g. a bag of serums and moisturisers, a bag of mini shampoos etc.

I didn't get ANY advent calendars (some of which I was considering) or anything in the sales this past weekend though! But none of it was due to any kind of willpower – it was all because I just didn't have time to even think about shopping :rotfl:

Anyway, I hope everyone is well, and feeling beautiful.
