No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2016

evilsquid1603

hello everyone!

last batch of UU for Jan:
Ongaro - restore shampoo and conditioner samples , WBA these did foam up and my hair seems to have got on with them
Eyeko - liquid eyeliner - WNBA this was a mag freebie but it just seems to have dried up really quickly and is hard to use.
Organic surge - almond shower gel - WBA, this smells nice and is reasonably priced for a tube
elemis - travel size toner -WBA though maybe only as part of a set as this is crazy money at full price!
Elemis - lip balm - WNBA this was another mag freebie and i think it actually dries out my lips rather than moisturises them!
Boots serum that i got on the tester panel - WNBA as the scent is too much for me.

this takes me to an overall change for Jan of -11 items and over the 4 years :eek: I've now been counting, I'm finally back with a reduced stash at an overall change of -4 after a crazy two years of the stash growing again :j:beer::T

A final flurry of UUs that I was not expecting:-

Philosophy Pumpkin Icing shower gel. Had a bath this afternoon and tipped the last in there. WDBA. Will look for this next Autumn. I usually like the Pumpkin Pie version but I prefer the sweetness of this. Had this in my PP list so will change it for the Rituals canned foaming gel that came in my Birchbox.

Clinique Lash Power. Yay got through one of my Finish 6 items in January.

OPI Bubble Bath. Have applied this tonight but it was a struggle getting it out of the bottle. Tried putting Pirouette my whistle on top but it does look messy. Am going out as well. Oh well will repainting tomorrow. Will take another mini bottle from my collection.

TA: Laura Geller eyeliner. It's one of those wind up ones. The texture is too scratchy and the "lead" keeps breaking off. WDNBA. Not a fan of these type of eyeliner altogether.

I shouldn't have said anything earlier as my foundation does seem to have ended. I have told MRM that he has the task tomorrow of trying to prize that the inner pot out. If not anyone know where I can get some ACME dynamite?

Have pulled a half empty bottle of Marc Jacobs Honey from my stash to use this month. See you all in February xx

70) you nog bath ballistic WBA I like the scent of this not the colour so much.

71) clearasil refreshing pads WNBA I found these too harsh for my skin, eventually used them up as screen cleanser for tablet.

72) hot toddy shower gel 100g WNBA the smell reminds me of flat cheap coke. Used it up as bubble bath.

73) Lord of Misrule bath ballistic WBA love the scent, have quite a few left as I stock up on them as they won't be out till September.

74) MD retinol WNBA did it really think it did a thing to my face and if you used slightly too much it made my face sticky.

75) korres body lotion in vanilla and mulberry WNBA it never seemed to actually sink into the skin and took ages to use up. Did not find it effective.

Last post of the month, still far too many INs but did go through plenty of items this month.

Failed to finish PP list with a deodorant and sleep mask left. Don't think I will do a PP list in February.

Yay another use up!
11) No7 Airbrush Away primer 50ml
This was in a gift with purchase last year. I actually really liked it and have bought a full size version of it. It helps my foundation to go on smoothly. My first make up use up since starting this challenge so I'm pleased that I'm starting to make inroads into the stash!

Overall January stats:
Ins: 7 but all make up which is what I'm supposed to be concentrating on reducing more! Must try harder in Feb.
UU: 11

Fiasco55

Last two UUs for the month I think.

Gum hairspray- love this HG item for me. On to my last can in my stash :eek:

Tigi- hard to get hair paste. Another HG item for me. Opened another from my stash.

My simple shower gel is spluttering now, couple of days left I think.

Naked strength coconut and passionflower renewing conditioner - WBA, love all the Naked products I've tried but I think the business has gone out of production.

l'Occitane Verbena shower gel and body lotion - Was a gift but I WNBA, nice smell but IMO overpriced, shower gel was very harsh and lotion not rich enough for me.

I tried to 'shop from stash' for a new hair serum, but I don't have any in stock - I must be making progress slowly :A

final UUs for the month
2 x Bumble and Bumble thickening shampoo sachets
2 x Bumble and Bumble thickening conditioner sachets

WDBA in full size - I love a bumble and bumble product!
Still got a fair few left in the stash so will be alternating these with my regular sized products now.
i had been hoping to use them all for going away but they're a bit of a faff for that actually - needed scissors to be able to get into the things and they're a bit small so need a couple per use.

see you all in February!

4. Lush body scrub bar. No idea how old this is – bin. Probably wnba. Kept tin.
5. Unidentifiable Lush fizzer thing. Had turned into odd smelling dusty lump. Put down toilets to clean them.
6. Neals Yard Remedies Purifying Palmarosa Toner 25ml. WBA if full size wasn't so expensive

I forgot I had a Body shop card so had to use my fiver up or lose it so I have 2 body shop shower gels IN

Two UU to report

AlphaH liquid gold HG product I would not be without moved one from my stash to replace it, and

Vaseline deodorant not sure if it is just me but the compressed variants never seem to last as long as the bigger tins
