No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries April 2016

lucia22

Tropics Body Butter from my PP list now has one use left so I hope to use it up after my shower tonight.

There's one unexpected UU from this morning:

The Body Shop Peachy Clean Exfoliating Facial Wash 100ml - This is years old and even has the old beige packaging. Unfortunately the lid broke and I had to chuck it away so it took me a while to use up because it was inconvenient to use. This was a nice product and did the job of exfoliating very well. I have another, newer TBS scrub in the stash. Have replaced with a 15ml Sanctuary Spa scrub.

Ugh! It's getting harder not to hoard again. After about 8 years on limited income, using up stocks - both mine and mum's, and buying only the cheapest cruelty free options, we can now afford for me to buy nice stuff. Also, seems Soap and Glory are discontinuing their Orengeasm sprays (but not the wash product(s) and butter), so I'm hoping to catch some more of the clearance at Boots. I was planning, once I'd used up my old Yves Richer orange blossom spray to use the S&G one as a regular buy, but as so often happens, it's being dropped just when I decide I like it. My regular patronage of a product has always signalled its imminent demise.

Anyway, I'm trying to plan carefully to both get some stocks while they last and not to overdo it. Tricky!

Not only that, but there are so many yummy ranges that I could now indulge in going - the new Body Shop spa stuff, M&S goodies and too many more....

Eek! :eek:

There is one particular moisturiser that I really want to use up, but it's in a pot and as I have my nails done and I have them a bit longer I absolutely despise getting stuff under them! Can anyone recommend something I can use to 'scoop' it out perhaps to save my nails?

How about a cuticle scraper?

I've UU a Benefit They're Real mascara so that's the end of Benefit mascara's which is super exciting :T:T Have replaces with one from a M&S smokey eyes set I had a long time ago, still seems pretty good though considering I thought it would be rubbish!

Oh no I love orangeasm in the summer, and also the sugar crush one. Lovely and fresh

May need to go stock up. I shouldn't be spending but I do like those sprays, I don't have the body mist of it either only the 100ml perfume spray so would like to get a couple of the mists too. Do you know if they are still stocking them on clearance or have they got rid of them now? I did wonder why they were only 3.49, I hope they aren't getting rid of the fruitigo and mist you madly perfumes either?

May need a soap and glory trip, luckily I have some birthday money left over.

I have a UU to report:

Tesco girlz only party nights dry shampoo- WBA like the smell of this one and does the job fine.

I'm the same with discontinued products. I have been using the Soap and Glory eye primer and gel blusher and when I went to replace them they have discontinued both.

I have a uu

Philosophy The Snowman Fresh Snow Shampoo, Bubble Bath & Shower Gel 1000ml - this was rather nice and super bubbly. WMBA but I am glad to have that massive bottle in the recycling.

2 UUs:
• Garnier Mystic Olive Body lotion – WB, got this as a freebie, but really liked it. Would buy if I needed a new body lotion and it was on offer.

• Lush Love and Light hand cream – WNB, love getting Lush stuff as treats but never really buy for myself.

Had to give away my olay moisturiser due to putting it on skin and instantly getting itchy and a rash. It was a brand new tub too so gave it to my mum. Ordered a new natural one for neals yard so that has been added to my stash. Also in are 2 hand creams from neals yard from the front of a magazine.

I also had about 6 antibacterial gels lying around so I have decantered them all into one bottle. I have also UU a mini Sensodyne toothpaste and WBA as I have had no sensitivity since using it.

UU
Jean Paul Gaultier Classique shower gel 75ml. I think I used all of this up years ago. Empty bottle. WDBA love the scent, but expensive for what it is.
Dove Body Wash 250ml. Years old. Almost died in storage, decanted the remains into a handwash bottle by the sink.

TA
Lush Catastrophe cosmetic 75g. No idea how old this is. Completely dried out!
Lush Imperialis moisturiser. Has actually separated...
Lush Ultrabland 45g. Use by was May 2012. Now have enough empty pots to pick up a free face mask at some point...

IN
TBS sample fragrance mist 100ml - had a spray of this yesterday and don't really like the scent as it seems different to the other products in the same range, so may GA at some point.
TBS sample shower gel 250ml
TBS sample body cream 200ml - both of these I hate the scent so may GA in a bit.
Neals Yard Remedies Bee Lovely hand cream 50ml (Marie Claire mag freebie) - took ages to find this scent - must be the most popular of the three!

Hello all,
Not much action over here.
UU Kind Natured Rosemary and Mint Volumising Conditioner. WNBA. Not terrible but nothing special either.
IN Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely Sheer perfume sample. Got this in my Superdrug order. I ordered a Denman Tangle Tamer to try and sort out my hair. Very impressed with it so far. It's a paddle brush shape and I much prefer it to the Tangle Teezer.
My plan to use up my bath bombs did not pan out as I'm having to have my knee strapped up on a regular basis so I can only have shallow baths with a bent knee so the tape doesn't get wet. Seems a waste of a bomb in a shallow bath!
Struggling not to blow a load of money in Superdrug/Lush/anywhere that sells makeup and toiletries. Had some unexpected health-related news and really want to drown my sorrows in eyeshadow while I'm waiting for test results! Tempted by the Spring Cleanser in the Lush Kitchen but I don't know if it's sold out yet or not.


Must catch up with the thread. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Deleted_User hope your knee is better soon so you can look forward to a nice deep soak with a bathbomb.

UU a 500ml bottle of Avon soft pink bubble bath, smelt lovely and makes loads of bubbles, but I have loads of Avon bubble bath in my stash so don't need to replace yet.
