No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries March 2016

abbe89

Few more UUs in the shower this morning. March has been by best month so far for total UUs - although most of these were almost done in Feb!

- Garnier The Strength Restorer shampoo sachet - WDNBA. Hardly lathered, and my hair didn't feel clean after.
- Garnier The Strength Restorer conditioner sachet - WDNBA. Again, hardly made any difference to my hair, in fact it feels worse than if I don't put any conditioner in!
- Biore nose strip - bit addicted to these at the moment, so satisfying!
- Hotel shower gel - can't remember where this is from, smelt ok, but it was just a basic shower gel.

I need to go to Boots after work to get some cotton buds, some more nose strips (I have a voucher) and a day cream to take to my boyfriend's. I'm determinded that this is all I'll buy, but we shall see!

kerastase conditioner - wnba, nothing different to cheaper versions of the same thing.
Jurlique - face oil - wnba, not a patch on my HG espa oil.

Re face wipe amnesty, not sure if this is enabling or will help people use stuff more effectively

Thankyou for being so supportive guys. You're all so lovely things at work are no better but we have another little friend at home and I'm off work for the next 2 nights which is such a relief and so at least I've got my own bed and can get to know little Theo, he is black and white only 12 weeks old and mad as a box of frogs, he's already had us in fits. Completely turned the cage upside down already. It's one of the biggest cages you can buy (hamster heaven one) and I don't think he knows what to do with all the space, and all the toys and food, think it's blown his mind as he only had shavings food water and bedding at the pet shop. He's been running around for the last 5 hours doesn't seem to know what to do with himself. :rotfl: I miss my little old man like mad though. I'm sure in time we will get to know theo and him us and he will be special too in his own little way :happyhear

Anyway I have 4 UU to report...

TBS mango hand cream 30ml- WBA the scent grew on me and I quite liked it in the end think I will miss it! It's a light cream in comparison to L'occitane but it was fine for daily use. I like the packaging too. Will buy more when I've used the others I have, I have other ones by TBS in other scents to UU first.

Garnier ultimate blends honey treasures shampoo- WMBA but I don't think my hair was as soft as it was when I was using other brands. I think ultimate blends ones tend to dry it out a bit. It smelled nice but I did get sick of the scent in the end and it lasted quite a while. Might try again in future but ready to try something else now.

Garnier ultimate blends honey treasures conditioner- WMBA for same reasons as above. It's also not the consistency I expected as it's not the cheapest and it's quite watery.

Hello kitty strawberry toothpaste- Wnba bought this ages ago on a whim was using it at work for sleep ins. I've since found out I need sensitive toothpaste at the very least and ideally sensodyne. Wasn't keen on the taste of this, didn't leave my mouth feeling fresh and it's for kids so I didn't really need it in the first place I just liked the packaging .

Eta. Need some room making on the naughty step again as I'm going to lush tomorrow with my friend who hasn't been before. There may be an in or two. Saying that, if the things I have wanted for a while don't smell as nice as they sound on the website, I won't be buying them! im still waiting for my big calm jelly to come but never mind.

Final UU for the evening:

TBS honeymania body butter 200ml- WBA lovely scent and consistency. Sinks in really quickly and makes your skin nice and soft. I have a 50ml of this in stash so don't need any more currently. Replaced it with an M&S extracts fig & orange oil body butter.

Also tried the elvive extraordinary clay and so far so good. Hair is already softer.

As for theo, a few hours on and he's still running around the cage creating havoc. I have to wonder if the tiny fluff ball ever needs sleep :eek:

Sending hugs and well wishes to all who need them this week

VALM inspired me to pull out my original Naked palette, so that's what I'm using on my eyes today. I feel the look is quite nice if I do say so myself! :rotfl:

This has been a very slow month for me. I've been exhausted in the evenings, and some nights I have removed my make up and then gone straight to bed. No serum or night cream or anything! :eek: Thankfully my skin isn't rebelling from it's lack of pampering, but must get back into a good routine again. My body is suffering worse though, as moisturising seems to have gone out of the window. Hello crocodile skin! :eek::eek:

Tonight I'm hoping to have a mini pamper session to apologise to my skin. Lots of moisturiser planned!

I do have a UU though to declare:
Cowshed Anti-Ageing Perfecting Night Serum sachet 2ml
- owing to my laziness in the evening this 2ml sample has lasted me 2 weeks. It's actually a lovely serum and my skin has loved it on the nights I have remembered to use it. I have another sample of this in my stash to use, but WBA, if I ever get to the end of my serum stash

I do love the Naked palette. I have told Emma that I will treat her to the new Too Faced peach palette that is released on Friday. I've been looking at their smaller palettes myself too. I have put my Maybelline Nudes palette on the Bay so maybe if I sell that I can justify another?

Gemzie, Theo sounds adorable.

I had another UU yesterday : L'Occitane verbena soap. As said before I do like this. Think I have one more in stash.

Bought a bottle of BAre Minerals Prime a Time primer from Facebook yesterday. The Seller said it had only been used about 4 times and as its in a pump I thought it would be OK. Only the same as me selling used Najeds palette on the Bay. I saw someone sold a used MAC lipstick there too so took the plunge and listed my Bobbi Brown lippie.

Sold a jumper last night too. Am becoming Obsessed.

Gemzie - your little hamster sounds like a lot of fun.

VALM - I have a few Too Faced palettes and they are really lovely.

I have some uu's

Elemis Apricot Toner 50ml - I like the glycerine in this but WNB as it will be expensive. I have replaced it with another one the same.

Morocconoil Moisture Repair Shampoo 50ml - this is very thick and luxurious and smells amazing, I would happily use again but wouldn't buy as it didn't do anything special for my hair.

A UU to report:

No 7 night cream - I got this as part of a set. It's OK, quite thick and lasted well. Not sure if I would buy it at full price but maybe again as part of an offer. Replaced with my Yes to Carrots one which also has a good consistency but I'm disappointed it doesn't have the scent that they used to have when they first came out.

INs:

Papaya Gold PAWPAW moisturising balm - I can't explain how excited I am to be able to get this in the UK! I used this religiously when I was travelling Australia and it's amazing. I tried to get it online when I came home but it was extortionate. Found it in Boots for £5.99 which is pretty expensive for a lip balm IMO but it's my fav and it lasts FOREVER. Highly recommend this product.

Gillette Venus razors

Cotton pads now that I'm obsessed with miscellar water


Hope everyone is feeling better. It's rubbish when you're not happy at work. The atmosphere in my work is very poor too. I'm just trying to not get dragged down by it which is easier said than done!
