No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2016

First one to report UU
Caudalie Micellar Cleansing Water: Sample with a purchase, not my thing, I prefer cream face make up remover. Not a great smell either

Post and run to add one last UU for today:

4. Champneys mediterranean bliss bubble bath 200ml. Part of a Xmas set from two years ago, pretty sure I have another one knocking around somewhere. WNBA, leaves a sticky residue although the smell is nice enough. Doesn't matter, I'm pretty sure it's been discontinued!

One UU today:

Imperial leather blackberry & fig foam burst- WBA. This is the ultimate money saving product... It literally went on and on. Bit of a LHJ. Although I loved the smell I was starting to tire of it after a couple of months :eek: Seriously, this stuff lasts forever. You don't need a lot to produce a ton of foam. I dud enjoy using it as the foam was a novelty. I bought it half price so for the time it lasted a bargain. I hope to try some of the other scents in the range in the future when my stash has downsized a bit!! I'm moving on to the snow fairy now finally. And at some point I have a superdrug almond shower foam to use so I'll be interested to see how that compares to imperial leather.

A couple of more UUs for me:

Garnier Miracle Skin Cream 5ml sample - This small sample lasted me almost 3 days worth of application on my face. However I found it made my face quite shiny. If I did purchase this full size, I would use it as a primer only or with a light dusting of face powder.

Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Peel Off Face Mask 50ml - This is something I've had for at least 5 years (!) so I was glad to use it up. I would not buy it again as it didn't really do anything for my face and I found the process of peeling it off quite messy. WNBA

Nivea Gentle Cleansing Cream Wash 2ml - This felt good on my skin and certainly did what it's meant to do with no bad effects. But I definitely prefer my Neals Yard and Super Facialist cleansers. WNBA

Eau Thermale Av!ne Cleanance Lotion-Toner 200ml - This toner lasted months and I also bought it on special offer (can't remember what I paid but it was less than £5) so it was good value for money. It felt great on my skin and didn't dry it out or leave it too shiny. WDBA. I have a few more toners to get through now so will concentrate on using those up.

Also a few other moisturisers and one mini shower gel has almost run out so that'll be done soon. I'm also going to have a bath this week again and use up a bath fizzer and some more bubble bath. I spent £3 on two more hair masks yesterday but I get through these fairly quickly as I do a hair mask one day a week and my hair is currently down to my waist.

I love participating in this thread as I'm monitoring my progress more and thinking more about my purchases. I can't believe I'm close to 20 UUs already since 27th December - I know some are samples but it still makes me feel good that I'm using this stuff up!

Woo hoo! I just had a shower and used up a couple more.

Ted Baker London Body Wash 50ml - This smelled lovely and lasted a couple of weeks. WDBA
Soap and Glory Butter Yourself Body Cream Mini Tub - This had a wonderful smell and I liked the consistency which was thick like a body butter but also easy to rub in and didn't leave my skin greasy. I would definitely buy this full size as I really enjoyed using it. I'll have to get through my stash first though. WDBA

Night night everyone.

VALM

Before Christmas I placed an Avon order and part of it (a pencil sharpener) was sold out. My friend brought it into work yesterday from her Avon rep sister so another IN. I have had a look through the brochure and think I am going to revert to using the Glimmerstick eyebrows pencil as I'm really not getting on with the NYX kit I have. No Matt how I apply this product it looks heavy handed.

I've finished an eyeliner!! I feel strangely proud of myself, I never thought this day would come. It had got to the point where I couldn't sharpen it anymore so I got a knife out and shaved it down to the end. In fact, it may have been on my 6x6 list, I'll have to check.

Another UU in the form of They're Real mascara, only one sample size left and I'll be free of Benefit mascaras, the hunt will be on then for a natural one.

The three samples that I spoke about yesterday were:
Nivea Q10 anti-wrinkle day cream - was nice and soft on my skin, if it were vegan I WBA.
Garnia Moisture Match Dull skin Creme - WDNBA, was really sticky and just didn't feel very nice
KOSE Cell Radiance - will try later.

I also have my superdrug order so in's of:
B. Rich Intense Colour Lipstick Eton Mess 54
B. Set Sheer Finish Pressed Powder Light/Medium 152
Superdrug Anti-Bacterial Handwash Citrus 250ml
Superdrug Anti-Bacterial Handwash Aloe Vera 250ml
B. Quick 4 in 1 Cleansing Wipes x 3
B. Nourished Night Serum 30ml
All of it was needed except the lipstick, but it was in a buy one get one half price offer and I don't have any paler lipsticks so I thought I'd give it a try, I'm very much a fan.

Still haven't managed to find time to go through the stash and inventory it, so I have no idea where I am. I do know my cupboards are a lot emptier than they used to be though!

I have a uu

L'oreal Pro Keratin Shampoo 100ml - this was OK but I WNBA, the matching pot of conditioner still has a couple of uses left.

Just a small UU last night - 1 x Biore Charcoal nose strip. Once I get through the further 12 of these I have WDBA. I'm finding the charcoal ones work much better than the standard ones!

Hello everyone!
I haven't posted on here in months and need to get back into the swing of things - I went a bit mad in the christmas sales so hoping I can avoid buying any more products for the rest of the year but we shall see!

so far this month i've only managed to finish a BS raspberry shower gel.
