No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2016

Plumpudding

Happy new year!

I have resolved to try and enjoy (AKA use) my stash this year instead of it being a source of guilt.

Having said that... I got the last Ren morrocan rose gift set 1/2 price in John Lewis.

Anyway, some UUs:
Temple Spa shampoo 50ml

Temple Spa conditioner 50ml these were lovely hotel freebies and I used them for going away/swimming. very nice.

Caudalie nourishing body lotion 50ml I don't really like the smell of caudalie products, WNB. it was in my swimming bag

Murad AHA/BHA exfoliating cleanser this was good, I have another in the stash. Worried it might be slightly harsh though, as my toner really smarts when I put it on after using this. I don't know whether it counts as a scrub - it has beads in so I guess so? I read somewhere recently, maybe it was Caroline Hirons, that you should never scrub. confused.

L’Occitane crème precieuse 7 ml very rich and comforting, again was in my swimming bag, good size for that. I probably WNB , this was a freebie

Estee lauder daywear 15ml I like this, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to buy it. This one came in a GWP.

I do also have a pp list which I will pop up in a bit when I've found it

mrs.butler

I am definitely in on this if that is ok. I used to post on here regularly a couple of years ago!

Eyebright

Weclome Bradleysmum and mrs.butler

I'm loving it here so far, and finding it very motivating.
I've created a spreadsheet of all my beauty products excluding make up, which deserves a spreadsheet all to it's self :eek: This is something I definitely want to address, but I don't want to take on too much all at once and fail. So I've decided once my bath/body/hair stash has been dealt with, then I will move onto my make up.

I'm doing quite well, with 11 UU's so far, and a few other bits on their last legs.

Speaking of; I need to declare my latest UU from this morning:

Sure Women Crystal Invisible deodorant 250ml- WBA, I like Sure deodorants in general. Though have 2 deodorant's in my stash, so no need to purchase anything else just yet!

VALM

Boss Woman EDT
Clynol Leave in Conditioner
Lush Cupcake
OPI Bubble Bath mini
[STRIKE]Philosophy Pure Grace EDT[/STRIKE]
Sample sachets
Sanctuary Spa Body Souffl!
Soap and Glory Foam Call Shower gel
Vichy eye cream
Hawaiian Tropic face cream

First item gone from my PP list. I do have another full sized full bottle of this perfume which I've pulled out today. Will put it away again though I think and concentrate on my Boss one.

The next item to be UUed I think will be the Sanctuary Spa Body Souffle as I am scraping product from the bottom of the tub now.

Another big welcome to those of you have joined us this month! Good luck with all of your UUs!

I agree with everyone posting about the overly keen staff in Lush - the only time I will go instore is for the sale. Otherwise I'll buy stuff online as they don't seem to be allowed to leave you to browse.

I have two INs today on my first day off since Boxing Day!:

2 x B. Micellar Water 150ml: I'm slowly trying to revamp my toiletries to only include cruelty free products (most of my stuff is but I want to be sure) so I'm hoping these are good!

Another UU

Elemis lime and ginger shower gel 50ml WBA:)

WeAreGhosts

I'm on the naughty step as well ... my LIB Heart Beauty Box arrived today. But it was half price, so £9 for:

Nuxe Crème Prodigieuse® moisturising cream 15ml
Urban Veda Hydrating Toner 150ml (*1 scent per box)
Rimmel Provocalips (Shade- "Kiss Me You Fool") 7ml
Bloom and Blossom Bath and Shower Gel 50ml

Kitsch Prima Ballerina Hair Ties (5 Hair Ties)
Hydraluron Moisture Boosting Mask (1 Sheet Mask)
PhilosophyThe Microdelivery Peel In-Home Vitamin C/Peptide Peel (12ml)

I had wanted to try the hair ties for a while. I wasn't convinced they'd work in my hair but they are pretty good

sam.4000

We will start with the good
UU's
19) Pink bath bomb in the shape of a Easter egg ( can't remember name). Snow fairy scented wnba not exciting and I don't know why I bought it when I can't stand snow fairy.

Now the reason why I am on the naughty step till February, bodyshop ordered arrived

Ins
2 shower gels
5 body butters
4 scrubs
1 body oil
2 facial cleansers
1 facial toner

@sam4000 - I utterly adore Body Shop body butters. It'd be so tempting to order more but maybe I'll reward myself when I've got through more of the stash. I've just bought 4 shower gels from them so I'll be well stocked for a while.

Ooh I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. I went into a Lush shop just before Christmas and really didn't enjoy their obvious sales patter and fake friendliness. I'm not trying to be grumpy as I do work in a public-facing job myself but I prefer when a Sales Assistant actually genuinely wants to help you rather than sell you stuff. We should all write to Lush haha.

I shouldn't really be buying more but I wanted to check Superdrug and see what they had on sale. I stopped myself from picking up the perfume minis as I'm not sure how long the scent would last. But I picked up a hand cream for £1 and a pack of 3 Nip + Fab hand creams for about £3. I also avoided picking up any of the make-up gift sets. I have too much make-up to use up and I prefer to read reviews first. I just bought a Technic set of eyeliners in the 3 for 2 at Boots in December and the eyeliner I found awful and I relegated it to an eyebrow pencil. Definitely trying to avoid impulse buying on make-up now!

A few UU from today:

Pantene Pro V Anti-Breakage Conditioner 400ml - I really like Pantene Pro V as it works very well on my long thick hair. WDBA
Body Shop Moringa Body Butter 50ml - The scent of this is quite floral when in the tub. It would be easy to dismiss it as too over-powering. However I found it really lovely once applied to my skin and the scent lingered for a at least a few hours. WDBA
Nivea Smooth Sensation Body Lotion 4ml sample - I found this really nice, easy to apply and a little went a long way. I love Nivea products so I would definitely buy this full size.
