No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2016

I have a uu

Avon Herve Leger Femme EDP - this was a purse spray (10 or 12ml ish), I've used a full size and one this size before and really like it so obviously it was no surprise to find that Avon have discontinued it. It is a very long lasting scent and quite distinctive. I do have a full size in the stash but can't buy again when that is gone.

2 more UUs for me :-

Boots nail polish remover. New one bought this week in readiness.

15ml Elemis PCMC. HG need to take one from stash.

Have just cleaned bathroom. Removed all the LUSH products from 12 days of Christmas kit and but all bath bombs into a makeup bag. Whilst stowing this away under the sink found a bottle of Soap and Glory Orangeism that I've previously started so pulled this out to use with Christingle..

1 UU for me, somehow did was not put on PP list:(

Just the one UU today:

Tresemme thermal recovery hair mask- WBA I thought this was brilliant value for money. I bought it half price at a couple of quid and will look out for this offer again in Tesco. It lasted a long time because it's a really decently sized tub. The packaging is boring but the product inside is good, i nearly didn't pick it up but I'm glad I did. It smelled pleasant and did a good job on my hair, my hair was fine up until I was ill last week and no product I've tried is fixing it so Im guessing it's just me being unwell that's the problem. This did a great job and made my hair lovely when I was well!

Hope this works. This is the pesky Cargo blush.

Yup it worked! You are so close to finishing it, amazing, well done you! Was it a LHJ????

No UU's for me today, that Bodyshop Vit E moisturiser is still hanging in there. I have an overwhelming urge to slather what's left in the tub on my neck when I go up to bed!

Hi, have you seen today's post by CH about Tata Products?

I have the rejuvenating serum from my purchase of the Cult Beauty Box, I am going to sort out and use some of my older serums before I try this, or any of the box really, need to get planning what is next

Yup, I read it this morning, I would love to get some more of their stuff, I trust CH when it comes to skincare. If she says it's good then I want it! Unfortunately anything else will have to wait, as I have plenty of everything across all categories! When I've UU everything in a category then I will treat myself to something nice.

It's only been in the last 6 or so months that I have started to take my skincare seriously, before I rarely used to anything other than splash my face with a bit of water etc. I can really see a difference now! My skin has cleared up so much. I still have room for improvement, but I'm definitely getting there.

I'm so jealous you got the Cult Beauty box. I put myself on the waiting list even though I knew I couldn't afford it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: maybe next time once I have paid off some more of my debts!

Hello hello! Long time no post!

We're currently having a huge household detox and upgrade and I have realised just how much *stuff* I have! I've gotten to the point where I wear little, to no, makeup on a daily basis and haven't been enjoying my products or looking after myself really. This needs to change.

Someone mentioned the concept of hygge earlier in the thread; it's something I've been doing a lot of reading about and am trying to implement it as much as possible.

So rather than hang back and hold on until I've had a whole day to count up my toiletries, I'm just going to jump straight in with the UUs

1. Bayliss and Harding sweet mandarin and grapefruit body wash 100ml. Part of a set. Scent doesn't really linger but the matching body lotion sinks in like a dream! WMB.

Welcome back rogues. You are right - no time like the present.

2 more UUs this morning:-

LE Superskin hand serum. I really don't know if I like this or not. As soon as I started using it the results were good but I didn't like the smell. I had to cut the tube open fairly soon though to get the most product out. The consistency then changed dramatically and it was sticky on application but you all know me and I couldn't bring myself to throw it away. Recently it has really helped the dry patches on my arms. I got this as a GWP and I think if I got another as GWP I'd use it but not look to repurchase singularly.

BOSS Woman EDT. Another item from my PP List. Will update this later. I've had this bottle since 2002 (it was a leaving gift from work) and as I didn't reach for it much WNBA. Did like it though.

Hi Roguey, great to see you here again, I hope that life has settled down for you:)

Great idea to just get going with the UUs, my home as well as my toiltries needs a sort out, I have noticed quite a few people on MSE doing this Flylady thing, bit scary for me with low energy levels, but by allocating slots of 5 or 15 minutes I really can make a difference over a few days:rotfl: whereas before I had convinced myself that it had to be several hours minimum, it was just another way of talking myself out of it I guess:(
