I have several OUTS :j all GA to a Christmas party raffle tomorrow - They are perfume/body lotion set
BS mini set of shower gel, scrub & cream in a nice toiletry bag
Ted Baker mini box set, with shower gel, scrub, perfume & body cream
Boots Natural Collection set of shower cream, polish and cream.
Anyone notice a theme going on there ...!
Just seen that ncrowd (like groupon) have gone out of business. :eek: I have £84.95 credit from them as a 2 night break ended up being cancelled due to hotel being flooded. ncrowd said it was outwith their 14-day refund policy so would only credit my account.:mad:
I paid through my credit card in July. Anyone know how I can get my money bcak? :mad:
I would have thought you could get it back via your credit card company. Give them a call.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!

A simple handmade soap is UU'ed. This didn't last long but it is good as I have few to UU before leaving!ally.0

One UU:
Avon senses peaceful reflection hand wash - WBA nice scent and not too drying on the hands. I hate hand washes that are too drying! This lasted a while too. Replaced this with an astonish spiced cranberry hand wash that my friend bought me last Christmas (which I put away for this Christmas).No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

green people shampoo mini - WBA, this was ok for the job but the faith in nature one is pretty much the same and is cheaper.
Elemis jasmine hand cream mini - repurposed this a body lotion, I'm drowning in hand cream atm and needed some gone!
Caudalie mini toner - WNBA far too much alcohol in this for me!
Estee Lauder make up remover - WNBA, this really wasn't as good as i expected! still left loads of make up on my eyes and i properly needed to scrub to get it off!
dove conditioner - repurposed as shaving cream.0 -

I went to a Debenhams event on Thursday as treated myself to a couple of items I have been looking at for a while and also some early presents for later in the month. So have rather a lot of in's for this month already.
Ins
Urban decay - space cowboy eye shadow. (Present for friend)
Urban decay - glitter eyeliner in amp. (Present for friend)
Urban decay - de-slick mattifying powder
Elemis - pro-radiance cream cleanser
Elemis - temple balm. (This has been needed due to a death in the immediate
family with not sleeping very well and constant
headaches)
007 for women sample x2
Flower by Kenzo sample
JPG - ultra male sample
Urban decap - prime and perfect sample
Urban decay - eyeshadow primer sample
Elemis - pro-radiance illuminating eye balm 4ml (gwp)
Elemis - gentle rose exfoliator 15ml (gwp)
Elemis - pro-radiance cream cleanser 30ml (gwp)
Elemis - pro-radiance frangipani body cream 50ml (gwp)
Elemis - pro-collagen oxygenating night cream 15ml (gwp)
Didn't want to list all the ins as it seems like I'm not trying to follow the challenge but thought it was cheating if I didn't. That should be it for the rest of the month.

Some UUs from the past week or so:
- Touch of Silver Intensive Conditioner - WNBA, ok but nothing special
- Clinique rinse-off foaming cleanser - WDBA, love this! Very good value for money, lasts ages. Very gentle but thorough. I've never actually bought it, only had bonus freebies, but I would in future if i didn't get another free one.
- Noxidoxi Enhancing serum base - WNBA, just nothing about it I really liked. Absorbs well, but I didn't see any actual benefit from it.
- Yours Truly Organics Fix me repairing serum (sachet) - WNB. Freebie from my mum, again nothing special, and very too runny to be easy to use.
- Organic Pharmacy antioxidant face cream (sachet) - WNBA. Smelled a bit weird, didn't do much.
- pack of cotton pads
And a couple of TAs:
- Soap and Glory KickAss concealer. Very old (years!), and has a slightly gritty texture. It's very good, but i have loads of concealers, and don't actually need any anymore...
- Clinique pore minimiser. Again, very very old (exceptionally good value for money!), and slightly separated. I've just been given a full size Spackle by my mum, so going to use that as a base instead0 -

5) lagoon body scrub WBA but not available, this was an old product that I have hoarded. It is no longer available in the scent or formula which is such a shame as I loved the scent and scrub.
6) body shop ginger shampoo WBA HG
7) eBay sold item, more listed so might sell a few more items.
8) skinny dip bubble bar WNBA this was probably atleast 4 years old, nice enough but not a huge fan of the scent.0
