No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries May 2016
Comments
-
I am both extremely happy and extremely stressed that after tonight's bath, I would have finished my entire Lush Bath hoarding stash that I've had for close to 18 months. I can't even remember how many I hoarded, but I had 2 large storage bins full and tonight, I saved the best for last...cerdiwyns cauldron bath melt!!!
So after that, my UU's this week are:
Lush American cream hair conditioner - it's my staple so will rebuy
Lush cerdiwyns cauldron bath melt
Lush - celestial - this is my staple too so will rebut
So now that my stash is completely gone (can't believe how long it took for me to finish), I've decided that I'm going to buy one at a time now that I live closer to a lush shop. Instead of buying in bulk and hoarding them away.
INs:
Lush American Cream conditioner
GA's to a friend:
1x Lush shampoo bar that didn't work for me
1x hair mask from yves richer to a friend
2x perfume samples to a friend
I think I'm doing better.....slightly, but better. I'm trying to just have a small stash of products I really love instead of product hoarding. I've saved my pennies with last pay check from not spending on makeup.
Have a good weekend lovelies!No buying toiletries challenge

An NBI of wet n wild In The Flesh lipstick.
This one isn't too bad. I've worn worse and it was free. It took four days to arrive though.
I also had an IPL machine to review, the review's not appeared yet, I will post a link when it does.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
IN - true to form my mum had a cleanser I could take, so that's Cerave Hydrating cleanser 355ml in. I had a bottle of this before and liked it so it's a win for me.
IN - small sample of Elizabeth Arden Advanced Night Repair also courtesy of my mum. I've wanted to try it for ages so we'll see how it goes!0 -
It's been busy on here hasn't it!
Will catch up with the thread later. I have one IN, of a Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I wear this as my everyday foundation for work etc and my current one is getting low. It probably will do a few more weeks but didn't want to risk not having a spare.
I've also started being ruthless with my mascaras. I've decided that as long as I feel I've gotten a lot of use out of it before it dries up/goes clumpy etc I will count it as UU even though I don't think you can ever truly UU a mascara. I think they just dry up. I've given up on one too so I have TA a Revlon Grow Luscious. It's not bad but the brush is the same width of my actual eye, it's massive and I can't be bothered with it anymore. I always make a mess. As for the UUs:
12. Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara. WDBA. This one has started to dry out but I think it's great and have had several in the past.
13. Clinique High Impact Mascara. WNBA. I got this in the British Beauty Blogger/Latest in Beauty Clinique box. It's ok but this one has gone clumpy and I don't think it's worth the money.
14. Primark Cedarwood and Myrrh candle. WDBA. This was lovely. Better suited to winter tbh but I like it anyway.
15. Roger and Gallet Bois D'Orange EDT sample. WDB. I've moved on to my second sample of this. I love it. It's a bit Christmassy though so will wait until at least Autumn to buy a big one.
That's it for now. Going into town tomorrow and will have a look at the Lush Father's Day range. For me though! I like more masculine/unisex scents so am looking forward to having something new to sniff in there! Have a lovely weekend everyone!0 -
Hello ladies,
A couple of UU for me:
Superdrug B micellar wipes (25) WIBA? Yes, I liked these. I don't often buy wipes anymore as I don't wear a full face of make up anymore, but I would buy these again. They smelled lovely lol.
Nivea cream care shower cream 250ml. WIBA? This wasn't as creamy as I hoped, but it did smell lovely and lathered well. So for the lovely nivea smell, yes I WBA.0 -

i wandered into Superdrug at lunch yesterday and was surprised at the number of offers. Bought another can of Batiste as it is £1.49 at the mo.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

momobingu - using up your Lush stash must have freed up a good amount of space - unless you've filled it with a new stash:rotfl:.
Deleted_User - I'm the same with those massive mascara brushes, I end up with splodges on my lovely eyeshadow. I much prefer a tiny brush which catches all the lashes better.
I have a uu
OPI If You Moust You Moust 4ml - WNBA, this came in the Minnie Mouse set ages ago. I don't like these mini bottles as the brush is really tiny and I can't load it up with polish when I get past half way used so even though this has some left I can't get a smooth application with it.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

2 INS to report -
1 - Tesco pampering Shower Creme Magnolia & silk extracts 500ml - just a cheapy as my body wash is running out and I won't be going anyway soon to buy a more interesting one
2 - Loreal Elvive Full Restore Repairing Conditioner - as expected as my other conditioner ran out. I always go for reparing conditioners even though I have straight hair that's in good condition, as I like to feel like they're actually doing something!
As a side note, I saw the John Freida brunette collection in my local Tesco Metro, and it was the old (full size) packaging!?!? Did I just buy another product then when I bought the full size before? It was in yellow packaging.....Trust me to do that if it is a completely different product though!0
