I'm going to sit on the naughty step, I will have some more ins shortly as well as a lush order.
I recieved some more birthday pennies so in a way I didn't buy them myself but anyway, shouldn't really have spent it on toiletry goodies but the way I see it they will get used and they make me happy so... Managed to purchase on eBay some of the discontinued soap and glory perfume sprays so stocked up anyway.
These are the ins I have bought, and waiting for, but I'll add to my in figure when they actually arrive, as I've had things not arrive before:
Bath and body works thousand wishes shower gel
Bath and body works white citrus hand cream
Bath and body works Sonoma weekend escape body lotion
Lush it's raining men shower gel 250g
Lush Turkish delight shower smoothie
Lush snow fairy shower gel 250g
Soap & glory fruitigo fragrance mist 100ml
Soap & glory original pink fragrance mist 100ml
Soap & glory orangeasm body spray x 2
I love... Gingerbread body spray (will put away for Xmas)
I love... Mango & papaya body butter
I love... Mango & papaya body spray
I love... Mango & papaya hand wash
I love... Coconut & cream hand wash
Hermia - I know what you mean. Think my medicated talcum powder is refilling itself!! :eek: very money saving though, had it on the go for what seems like forever, definitely been a LHJ!
Going to add my lush sweetie pie shower jelly to pp list as it seems to be going down quite a lot as I've been focusing on it a bit more this last week.
Eta. 2 lip items added to pp list as just noticed they are getting low on product.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

Thanks ladies for your comments and interest.
I love lip colours in palettes myself, I find the stick forms too 'dry'. I love a good, wet lippy.
My PP things that I'm focusing on are the oldest or the nearest to being finished or things that have broken packaging (often pretty old), thus the pan showing. I have one more of these old Too Faced palettes with only one lippy hit pan and 2 other quads with none yet.
Sir told me that, once my mum no longer needs our help, he'd like to move back to be near his mum - in Southwest Germany, which we'd been talking about before. Thankfully they have The Body Shop and Lush over there I checked that Boots shipped there too!!! :rotfl:Elizabeth

Another UU yesterday:-
Montagne Jeunesse Hot SA mask. I think this may have gone off as it was grainy and only heated up on application. Had no adverse effects though. WDNBA. I prefer to buy a mask that I can get several applications from.
Sold two more non beauty items on eBay yesterday. Maybe at some point today I'll post some more.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

I have some uu's
Body Shop Vanilla Brulee Bath Jelly - WNBA, this is a faff, it is a very thick gelatinous product and the only way I could get it to dissolve was to scoop out a handful and squish it in my hands under the hot tap which resulted in a degree of discomfort from the hot water. I bought 4 of these too (I never learn), also the lovely scent doesn't come through in the water. I have one more left.
Garnier Sauna Mask with White Clay & Zinc - this is a single use sachet and surprisingly there is just enough for one use rather than a ton like other sachets. It doesn't heat up though! It is still pleasant to use, I have more in the stash but after that WNBA.
Maybelline Dr Rescue Gel Setter Top Coat - WBA, this stuff is fab.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Anyone else doing/done the 'Make Up Inventory'? Having the numbers of how many things one already owns can be helpful in controlling spending etc.
I joined in last January and next update is due in July.Elizabeth

In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind, be more kind my friend, try to Be More Kind0 -
I have been quietly confident that my shower gel/body wash/bath foam/ body lotion stash was decreasing nicely, so I didn't feel too guilty about my little treat last week, but this morning in playing the game of hunt the escaped tablet charger I found lurking in a small drawer that I thought was empty:-
300ml The Righteous Body Butter, a 125ml S&G Heel Genius and an almost full 125g Jason Vitamin E Cream, they were accounted for as INs a long time ago, oh well I will take the Jason cream away with me and earmark the body butter to start when I return. Not sure about the Heel Genius, I usually manage fine with body lotion and anything that I have got tired of and needs using up
Does anyone else think that they still have any surprises lurking?The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
Is this another MSE thread?
Not that I know of. It was started by an American lady on YouTube, then lots of vloggers joined in. I'm one who uses my blog instead. I thought it was relevant to this thread as many members here seem interested in using up make up (including my humble self).
I'll post more info if enough people seem interested, but it does mean more lists, which not everyone finds that interesting I expect.Elizabeth
