No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries February 2016

Another UU:

sensodyne pronamel daily toothpaste- Wnba I hated the taste of this too strong for me. Did an ok job but there was another sensodyne one I preferred more. Replaced it with a half used Tesco sensitive one for now as I appear to have run out of sensodyne completely. Might see how long it takes before the sensitivity returns in which case I'll have to puck up mire sensodyne. Would be nice to get the Tesco one finished as no one else us going to use it since I'd started it.

I keep trying all the fancy Sensodyne toothpastes and then end up going back to the normal basic one. I do find Sensodyne is the best for my sensitive teeth though.

Hi everyone!

So I finished my PP list last night, digging out the last of the lip balm and foot cream!

Trying to decide on my PP for February. Should have decided by tomorrow evening, have only just got in from work and am straight off to bed!

A few more UUs last night that I didn't expect - thought there was more left in 2 of them than there was, and decided to use a sheet mask.

- Roger & Gallet Gingembre Rouge Energising Sorbet Body Lotion, 50ml. WMB - very light and hydrating, and smelled lovely. Lasted well too, might buy if I see a good offer, it's not too expensive in some online shops.
- Argan+ deep repair shampoo. WNB - just ok, nothing special.
- Talika Bio Enzymes Hydrating Mask. WNB - not sure what it did that normal moisturiser wouldn't!

Morning all
Another UU sanctuary soothing foot lotion - I think Dh has been using this as hand cream as I noticed it on his bedside table and next thing I know it's empty in the recycling bin. I don't mind as I have loads of foot cream and lotion. I'll sort a tube of hand cream out for his table.

I'm leaving perfume in the goal category because it really bothers me that I don't have any at the moment! I only wear one and I might have the personal spending money this month to buy it. I've found it on Perfume Click for £16.80 with £2 delivery. Has anyone used that company? It's Issey Miyake Pour Homme (I'm a tomboy) and I only buy the 40ml normally because the top note is Yuzu and it seems to disappear by the time I get to the bottom of a 75ml bottle.

I still have a major soap problem. How did I let it get to 55 bars of soap?! That will probably last me till retirement but am thinking of making some washing powder with some of it this month.

Morning ladies! Lovely to see so many newbies

I have several splutterers so hopeful of a bit of a clear out this month, I also realised that there are several more items I UU'd last month on holiday:

12. Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum 25ml - WDBA, love the effect this has on my fine flyaway hair.

13. L'Occitane Precious Cream 8ml - WNB, this was a freebie and my skin doesn't seem to be a fan.

14. Sanctuary Gentle Cream Exfoliator 100ml - LHJ, WMBA but suspect this has long since been discon, has been in the stash 5+ years! No other face scrubs stashed, I will stick with hot cloth cleansing for this purpose for now.

15. Sanctuary Warming Charcoal Detox Mask 100ml - as above and even more of a LHJ - this one took me 18m to UU, and I have another one stashed :eek:

I need to update my spreadsheet for all the INs and UUs over Christmas/holiday/sales period so will try to do that tonight. I am finally starting to feel like I have a bit of a handle on my stash though! That said, it's my birthday at the weekend and I know of at least one gift set (with several INS :wall:)!

hedgesparrow - I've never heard of Perfume Clicks, I use Fragrance Direct quite a bit and they are very good - may be worth checking their prices too.

I just found a Benefit lollibalm in my rucksack that I thought I had used up! There's only a small amount left but still!!! :mad: _pale_ :wall:

One UU today:

Superdrug Dead Sea Purifying Clay Mask: This made my skin feel very fresh and cleansed - WBA.

And one IN:

Superdrug Dry Skin Cream 75g: I've go some random dry patches of skin which have recently appeared on the sides of my fingers. Dry skin is never an issue for me so I'm a bit confused but I am hoping this will help.
