No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2017

UU 2 and 3!
Original source coconut hand wash WBA.
Smells like holidays, works well, and is regularly on offer too.
Emma Hardie Morinaga cleansing balm 100ml WBA
I adore this stuff. Smells amazing, super soothing on the skin, and cleanses really well without stripping the skin. I bought myself the giant tub on a double points day in December as well

There wasnt a great deal of choice anyway and I cant be doing with fighting over smellies so it may be pretty limited by lunchtime anyway:A
The shelves are bare in the Boots local to work so no temptation there but there is always online.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!

They had a lot of stock in some stores, I think they had a lot of inventory. A lot of the gift sets are the same year in year out. Its a great opportunity to get a set that you love.0 -

Doesn't look like it's started. Have just had a look at the few items I put in my basket last night but they are the same price.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

My favourite cleanser too it's amazing.0 -
One TA:
Lush Yog Log roulade WDNBA. I hate this. I bought it for the Yog Nog scent. It left my skin feel very tight. Ugh.
And one unexpected UU:
Simple KTS Refreshing Facial Gel Wash WDBA. It's my HG cleanser at the moment. Nothing irritating in it, which is great. I have one in my stash as a backup.0 -
morning all,
no UU here but wondering on your thoughts. I will probably finish my Elemis pro collagen cleansing balm tonight - this is my HG, love love love it. somehow I only have 2 cleansers now in my stash (full size anyway!), an Elemis cleansing oil and Soap and Glory clean on me. I am in two minds what to do. part of me reckons I should just give the soap and glory one to the charity shop and use the other as the soap and glory one doesn't spark anything in me but a few reviews have said its good. I know I will enjoy using the other.
any thoughts?walk 2018 miles in 2018 - 781 of 2018

Pleased to report that 10 days in, I have miraculously manged not to buy anything yet:D, although I got very close to caving in and ordering the QvC TSV of Decleor products, but we had to go out for the day, it was a very long drive so no time before we left and on our fairly late return crashed with a cuppa and a sarnie, I remembered it at about 11:15, but by then it was wait list only and I thought I might end up with a used return if I went on the list:(
Do QVC actually do that - send out used returns - I am completely horrified.
I just cannot get past the delivery costs with QVC it is such a rip off.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I have two uu's
Aromatherapy Associates Relax Body Wash 200ml - this has a luxurious and lovely scent, it would have to be on a mega good deal for me to buy again but I would happily use it.
Boots Extracts Brazil Nut Body Butter - this was a full size pot. Very nice product and it is Fairtrade and sustainable which is great but it doesn't say whether it is cruelty free so WMBA.
Sold a perfume on ebay yesterday for 3x the price I paid for it because it is discontinued.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
