Another UU from my PP list. I'm calling time on the 2 x sample sachets of Crabtree & Evelyn Verbena and Lavender hand cream. I opened one this morning and really do not like the fragrance. Will try and pass them on at work today but so far no takers. If no-one wants them they are going to be binned. PP list now looking like this:-
Boss Woman EDT
Clynol Leave in Conditioner
[STRIKE]Lush Cupcake[/STRIKE]
OPI Bubble Bath mini
[STRIKE]Philosophy Pure Grace EDT[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Sample sachets[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Sanctuary Spa Body Souffl!
Soap and Glory Foam Call Shower gel
[/STRIKE]Vichy eye cream
Hawaiian Tropic face cream
Still think the Hawaiian Tropic face cream will go next.
Another UU :-
Vaseline deodorant. Have bought a replacement already. Like this a lot.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!

My PP list for January
1. Liz Earle Toner
2. No7 Eye Makeup Remover
3. Dove Silky Body Cream
4. Vaseline Intensive Care Hand Cream
5. Gok Gorgeous Hand Cream
6. [STRIKE]M&S Cranberry Lipstick[/STRIKE]
7. Philosophy The Gingerbread Man Shampoo, Bubble Bath, S/Gel
8. Body Shop Eyebrow Pencil
9. Bare Minerals Prime Time Primer
10. Balance Me Radiance Facial Oil Roll on 15ml
I have used up the M&S Lipstick in Cranberry. This was old but still perfect, it was a glossy berry colour but not too dark and vampy, I WBA but this is long since discontinued.
VALM - Emma was lucky to get her things back.
Gemzie - if you have had a cold for a while it definitely affects hair and skin, maybe you should see what foods are good for hair and eat those till you get back to normal. I would recommend Macadamia Deep Repair Mask or Morocconoil Deep Repair Treatment in the meantime, both make my super dry, curly hair very soft.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Hello
I forgot to say welcome to the new UUers! This is a very supportive and inspiring thread.
I went to Boots this morning to see what they had out and see whether it would be worth going back tomorrow morning. Not sure it is really. See how I feel about being v pregnant and in a sales squash closer to the time.
Today I had a play with some of the more outlandish colours in my palettes (my own little Bowie tribute) and I keep applying a lipstick I'd like to use up. Later on I plan to paint my nails.
Some UUs
Aveda smooth infusion shampoo I used this with the conditioner and serum and I really recommend it if your hair is dry and 'nesty'. However, it is more than I really feel comfortable paying for shampoo.
Montagne Jeunesse peel off masque The effect of this lasts a couple of days for me, WMBA
Estee Lauder doublewear sample I like this, goes on well if I remember serum before moisturiser. WMB0 -
A TA for me,
200ml Gatineau Vital Feeling Exfoliating Body gel. This was free from the passport rewards system, but I really did not like all the hard beads on my skin when I opened it today. I will add it to the Refuge package.
I opened this as I have body lotion in use, but all the shower gels I have are in sets, so I will either have to buy a fruity gel to go with wth BL or use the family Tea Tree one for a couple of weeks or however long it takes me to UU the lotion:(The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
6. One more UU a small bottle of a loreal conditioner.
I've just started working full time again( changed from part time) in a really stressful job and find that I'm tempted to buy more on a whim thinking I'll need this otherwise I wont have time to buy it when I need it. Luckily no ins so far.0 -
GA's: 5 perfumes samples
UU's: 2 perfume samples, a perfume oil sample, and
Dior lip maximizer - wba

2015: 1348 UU's & GA's

Popped into Boots this evening to scout out for tomorrow, probably nothing I fancied from my quick look round but will go at lunchtime and get some Dove for my mum as that's all she can use and its expensive:money:Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
Few splutterers here and one UU sanctuary body wash.
Half used include a radix bath foam, e45 lotion from my pregnancy which I'm working on using up this week or so, a Liz Earle face scrub also a work in progress and a Molton brown hand cream almost gone
Listed a few of my Liz Earle bits on eBay as I don't use them anymore and they are wasted in my cupboard
