No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2015

Sundaysgirl

My final UUs for the year:

7/168. Sanctuary Body Lotion 250ml - this was gifted and nice enough but I prefer butters so WNB, I have another to use.

8/169. Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser 125ml - real LHJ, did the job but nothing special, another gift and probably WNB.

I have 4 gifted INs:

11/123. Garnier Ultralift cream - thrilled as I loved the trial sachets
12-13/124-125. Beauticology Body Washes 100ml in orange and plum
14/126. Lip balm tin.

I'm heading off on my hols tomorrow - I have three wash bags stuffed full of toiletries as we're away for three weeks so hopeful of many UUs to report in the new year!


See you all in 2016 - wishing you all a fabulous festive break and lots of lovely INs! x

1 repurposed UU - 650ml Sanex Moisturising Bath Foam, I don't have baths atm, may need some disability aids before I can again so used this up as hand wash, works well and doesn't trigger my exzema:D
WBA if the need arises.

Hopefully I will finish 2 more things from PP list, and there are 3 in pumps or tubes that I cannot tell how much left, so fingers crossed.

I just went into a large indoor shopping centre and made it out without buying anything!! I went in Lush, TBS, Debenhams, Superdrug and Boots! I'm rather chuffed with myself .... it was absolute hell, though, 000s of people!

I will have some INS on the 25th, though, I always do

Evening all

Hope everyone is well and not too rushed off their feet. My weekly update.

UUs
Colegate -Sensitive whitening tothpaste 50ml. WBA but not at the moment as have a supply of Senodyne
Gillette - antiperspirant gel 70ml. WBA this is the deodorant that I truly feel confident with.
Schwarzkopf - Mind blowing xpress dry setting spray 200ml. WNBA did't feel like this did anything for my hair and didn't reduce drying time. Not longer need to use as hair cut short.
Aveda - botanical kinetics exfoliant 150ml. WMBA this used to be my favourite toner but not so now. Will be on the look out for a new exfoliating toner. Anyone have any recommendations?
Decleor - phytopeel 5ml. WMBA not too sure on the scrubbing of my face in removing and have another to use up.
007 for women fragrance sample. WNBA, fragrance okay but have others that I prefer.
Boots - gorgeous feet reviving overnight rescue cream 150ml. Love this cream, really think, sinks in well and did wonders for my feet but unfortunately they no longer sell this so WNBA.

I have only just seen this thread. Better late than never eh! I am only just coming to terms with my buying habits. I thought I was a compulsive buyer of clothes only but my compulsive buying includes books and toiletries too ( a rude awakening when I moved house). I know I will get even more toiletries for Christmas (despite hint dropping). I don't know if I can face listing all the sins on here but I have done PYN Sunday and incorporated a body scrub into my weekly routine. Looking at my stash I probably could go without buying any non-essential toiletries for a good six months. This makes me feel very wasteful and have had to Text Santa to balance it all out.

Some ins and a UU to report:

Ins:

Soft & gentle pear and cotton flower deodorant
Soft & gentle pink grapefruit deodoeant
Boots chic dream bergamot & berries body spray
Boots floral love violets & mandarin body spray
Asda cotton blossom deodoeant spray
Asda cotton blossom roll on deodorant
Dollys mixtures Parma violet shower gel
Nspa cranberry chocolate bath & shower gel
Alberto balsam blends avocado & coconut damage repair intensive mask

UU:

Beautifully scrumptious vanilla body butter 220ml- Wmba for use on my feet. This had a lovely scent however I didn't find it moisturising enough for my arms etc much prefer boots extracts or TBS, it kind of sat on top of the skin and took forever to rub in. I found it worked better for use on the feet. It's not bad for a pound from poundland though!!

Another PP use up for me:
No7 time resisting day cream

and an eye shadow pallette No7 Cappucchino palatte. It was really just the highlighter which had finished even though I regularly use the other two as well but I have several in my stash to use so not worried about using all the colours at the moment.

Welcome rileyg26... it really is helpful being part of the thread!

Had a UU yesterday of original source shower gel... have replaced with a superdrug own as they're also vegan and cheaper. I'm hoping it works well... I shall let you know!

I'm also so so so close to finishing my Christmas challenge, I have no idea how there is any foundation still coming out of the bottle!!

We're going away for New Year so I will have to declare my Christmas in's in January so I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Obviously if this foot cream was good it had to be discontinued. Why do they always do that? I have a tube of Soap and Glory cheek gel (can't remember the name) the stuff is awesome and they don't do it anymore. Don't even get me started on my HG best ever lipstick which was discontinued.

I have just found out that Boots have totally reformulated my HG No7 body range. The packaging has changed but so has the product, I really, really loved this range, the smell was unique and fantastic and now it is awful.
