No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2015

A couple of quick UU's for me - final ones this year I think:
- Malin+Goetz vitamin b5 body moisturizer mini. WNBA. It's REALLY lovely, sinks in really well, very moisturising, not at all greasy, and a great fresh scent. But it's £30 a tube! I'd love to buy it , but I can't justify that amount of money on a body lotion. I'll keep an eye out for it in sales I guess
- Macadamia Oil Deep Repair Masque. WMBA. Does a great job, I did like it, but I'm not sure it's necessarily any better than slightly cheaper options used as a masque. I'll work through some more stuff in my stash before deciding.
- Elvive 5-in-1 miracle hair perfector sachet. Just added this to the drags of the Macadamia Oil masque. Don't think it made any difference. Tiny sachet! Only useful for very short hair on it's own...0 -
I have a uu
Stila Lip Glaze in Fruit Punch - this came in a beauty box and even though I don't like lipgloss I really liked this. It was a great colour, lasted really well and wasn't too sticky.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Just been out on a bike ride and got absolutely soaked... Mud up my face the heavens just suddenly opened, ha. Had to go straight in shower so I have 2 UU to report:
Garnier mineral floral fresh roll on deodorant- WBA pleasant fragrance and does the job well.
Boots extracts cocoa butter body butter 50ml- WBA HG product. I absolutely love the scent of this and it sinks in so quickly. Got loads in stash as I'm forever buying these as I love them so much so don't need to re purchase yet but if I run out, definitely will!! Replaced with a TBS cranberry joy 50ml butter.
Just put on TBS chocomania edt and can't stop sniffing myself. It's Making me want to raid the tub of roses, good job it's not been opened yet:o:o

A few more UU's for me.
2 small Bomb Cosmetics Bath Bombs These were from my advent calender and smelled amazing. No bubbles from them which means I have to switch it up between them and some bubble bath as I love bubbles.
Soap and Glory Make Yourself Youthful WBA when needed. This cream made my face really soft and smells really nice. A little goes a long way as with most soap and glory things.
Huggies Baby Wipes WBA I use these to clean my woodwork in my bedroom and I also use them on my niece when I look after her.
Soap and Glory Hand Scrub WNBA however I think it has now been discontinued. Left an oily residue on my hands which I didn't really like but smelled good and exfoliated my hands quite well.
5 GA's to report as well.
Fearne Cotton Body Lotion, Hand Cream, Shower Gel & Body Spritz These were given to a friend for Christmas.
Soap and Glory Face Soap and Clarity Face Wash I gave this to my younger brother as his had run out.
7 ins to report as well.
I took advantage of the 40% off and a free gift at TBS. With this I got the Almond hand cream 30ml, Frosted Cranberry Hand Cream 30ml, Mango Shower Gel and 3 lip balms in Frosted Cranberry, Glazed Apple and Frosted Plum. The free gift was a 200ml Shea body butter.... Damn them and their offers...;)0 -
3 more out of my stash
1. Maybelline lipstick in blush
2. Next velvet bloom perfume
3. Hello Kitty eyeshadow quad0 -
UUs:
Superdrug whitening toothpaste: WIBA ? Maybe, Just as good as leading brands.
Montagne Jeunesse Apple & Cucumber exfoliating mask
Superdrug Rose EDP : WNBA, bought in January sales. Scent dis not last long.
Ins: As I'm temporarily living in France it's more practical than bringing the products back to the UK to use up.
Superdrug Naturally Radiant hot cloth cleanser
Arm & Hammer advanced whitening toothpaste
2 x Sanex roll-on
Mitchum 48 hr anti perspirant0 -
UU
Face Food Cucumber and Apple Face Mask sachet - Nice, not an overpowering scent & made my face feel nice - WBA, was cheap from Savers.
I have some other bits that are spluttering, so hopefully a few more UUs before the end of the month. My stash isn't looking that bad tbh. Apart from shampoo and conditioner I don't have many multiples of products.0
