No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2017

Hermia

4) UU Patisserie De Bain Raspberry and Rose shower gel - WBA (although the sugared violet one is my fave as it reminds me of parma violet sweets).

5 & 6) Cetaphil cleansers - I found these in a cupboard and just binned them. I don't like the product and if I haven't forced myself to use them up by now I never will.

VALM - how do you find the Elemis cleanser? I am on my last cleanser at the minute and this is top of my list to try next

Love it. I've used it probably for a couple of years now. Very light to apply. Rinses away without any residue. Keeps the oil at bay all day. I do only suffer with an oily t zone though.

Thanks VALM, I am also "blessed" with oily skin! I foresee an "IN" in my future

Cloughies- some of the cheaper liquid soaps have more ‘foamer’ than dearer ones. I would see how it goes. Some of the cheap liquids can be very bubbly! I watched a really interesting youtube video on the cosmetics formulations by a private label company. Some products like shampoo have more foam (surfactants) to just give bubbles but no better results and professional shampoos have low levels of foam to make it easier to wash and rinse hair and reduce the time spent washing hair in salons.

Hmmmm, something to think about when I need to buy handwash. I have 3-4 left plus all the spare shower gels first

I have an IN: to report.

Cerruti 1881 For Men Aftershave. I now have 3 of 4 I need and I will buy JPG Le Male next week when I am paid. I do use a fair bit of it though.

I will do an inventory next week. I am off for 9 days from Sunday with plenty of home DIY to do, but will fit time in to make an inventory - it may not be as big as most people, but it's too much for me.

Happy Birthday sstevo 19. Hope you are having a nice day.

Used up one of my small shower gels I got at christmas. 5 more left.

Gained 2 free samples of toilet rolls from Tesco.

Really surprised at the amount of people posting about Lush purchaes. I seem to remember a few months ago this thread discussing the company and if IRC most posters didn't like the company. They have some dubious marketing techniques :mad: and I will never buy anything from them.

I have one IN - free day cream SPF30 to test. Will get used as I like a cream with high SPF even during the winter

sstevo19 happy birthday!!

i cut the tube on the half used up clarins hand cream. I am using it on my legs as i hate the smell of it. It smells like an auld wans handbag. it is desperate stinking stuff.

You have a great turn of phrase: sounds like a hand creme to avoid :rotfl:

Happy Birthday sstevo19! I hope you've had a lovely day.

I have a UU - one set of sachets of Ole Henricksen Lemon Strip Peel kit. Comes with a almond scrub sachet, lemon strip peel and a calming camomile mask.
WDBA think that was my last one from a set of them. Can't remember how many you got and I know they were pricy but you only do them occasionally. Makes me skin feel amazing and just really gives it a fresh start.

The people who aren't keen on Lush won't be posting Lush UUs so it probably looks like there are more Lush fans on here than there really are!

I did dump a ton of old make-up today, but cannot be bothered to list it all separately.

I bought some more micelluar water.

The final application of the clarins hand cream was applied, used up would not buy ever again.
