No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2017

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.
I would like to believe that it is not a regular thing, but it has been reported occasionally on the qvc section of the forum on shoppingtelly.com, completely agree on the P&P costs, I usually check around on the web to make sure there isn't a better deal out there first. I also need to factor in the reality that a lot of the things that I like would need a 100+mile round trip to be able to buy them IRL, or 50+to nearest town:(
I need to declare an IN, the Bobbi Brown Lip Balm that I lost a few months ago turned up in a presently unused make up pouch:j, as I listed it as an out, I have now added it back to my lists:DThe best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)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?
Hi, Soap and Glory Clean on Me is a shower gel (perhaps you typed the wrong name). I use Peaches and Clean for my evening cleanse and find it great for removing make up. If it is a facial cleanser and you don't want to try it then you could CS it. As the Elemis one is more expensive though I think I'd try to sell this so that you have funds to buy the Cleansing Balm??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!

People have complained of this on shoppingtelly forum. Hence, I steer clear of any products that go on Wait List. Shocking to think that this may happen with cosmetics but I suppose it's acceptable re: clothing etc as it is what other retailers do.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

UU
E45 moisturising lotion 200ml wba, but the similar Vaseline advanced repair seems to be working better on my skin.
TBS Silky Cleansing Extract 200ml (new name, used to be cleansing oil) HG. The only thing I've found that will remove Est!e Lauder double wear foundation at a reasonable price, but I follow on with a gentle cleanser after as it can be too heavy on its own for my skin. Replaced with one from stash.
Also TA an old bottle of Rimmel Light Perfecting foundation 30ml - whilst applying it, I dropped it 3 times onto the bathroom floor, and it smashed completely on the 3rd fall. Not greatly upset about it though, as the coverage was absolutely awful so WNBA.No buying unnecessary toiletries 2017 UU 6

I had to go to the nearest shopping town and I managed to resist buying too many things.
Two INs to report:
Avene Eau Thermale Spray 150ml
Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask
I love the Avene spray, I know it's a gimmick, but it helps my skin so much. And I've wanted to try the mask for a while now and I haven't used a face mask in months :O I also bought myself a new computer mouse, you can tell I lead an exciting life:rotfl:0 -
Another UU for me - Mitchum deodorant. HG for me.
Up to 10 for the month so far!0 -
Another UU for me Burt Bees Lip Balm Coconut & Pear as you all know I love my Burt bees Lip balm and have a big stock:TDebt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
One last UU for the day:
Lush Shoot For The Stars WDBA. I love the new look. And I love the scent0 -

UU sample of mystery moisturiser

Good news on the make up front another eye shadow hit pan this morning (UD SMOG). Its nice to see definite progress on the make up front, have quite a lot of shadows that have hit pan now, and some that should hit pan soon. Hopefully I'll have a UU soon.0
