No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries - February 2017
Comments
-
Two sample UUs:
Paula's Choice Resist Clear Skin Hydrator sample x 2 WMB. I squeeze moisturiser samples into a clear pot with a lid and I try it on an small area of my face to see if I react to it or it breaks me out. I might get a trial size version of this in the summer to test how my skin reacts to it for more than a week. It was lovely and light though. And my skin feels smooth because of it.0 -

No7 wipes bought with £5 voucher – cost £2. 8/17
Bronnley Bergamot and Lime body scrub. 9/18. An unashamed treat to awaken my senses on a weary day
I have a bunch of products that might just get finished in time for this month, but may just hang on until March:)The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
I have a UU very excited UU - Urban Decay Broken Eye Shadow from the Theodora Palette (this was a build your own style palette so is a full size shadow). This is my 2nd eye shadow UU this year - only 10 more to go to meet my target of the year of 12 UU (the equiv. of the average palette). I am marking this as a UU from my carry over from the 7 by Autumn Challenge - now only 2 items left
1 - Benefit Fake up Concealer Full sized - Hate this
2 - Benefit Watts Up Highlighter sample 2.5g. - Prefer Powder highlighter
UU - 6- Urban Decay Eye Shadows - UU UD Broken eye shadow
A quick update on remaining challenges etc - I have 1 more item to UU as part of my Feb PP list (think this will be carried over to March), 1 Item left in the 5 by Spring (hopefully this will finish soon), 1 item from 5 by Christmas (again hopefully will be UU soon) and 2 items from 7 by Autumn (I may end up binning these).0 -

afternoon all.
UU: small clarisonic cleansing gel - WNBA was nice enough and came with my clarisonic but nothing special to buy again.
IN: got my CT powder.
KT2802 - I think the powder is lovely. goes on really well and has good staying power (well for my skin anyway!) I also bought the liquid kohl eyeliner on recommendation and have to say it just glides on and so far has stayed put really really well.walk 2018 miles in 2018 - 781 of 2018

Good afternoon all....it has been a week of just plodding on with everything I have....some things are getting to the magic halfway mark but it just seems to be a slow time at the moment.
I have managed to UU a mini nivea deo...sad really as I now only have 1/2 a can of something non descript before I need to buy replacements.
Noticed in Tesco the other day that many bulk standard toiletries were being reduced so bought 4 tubes of colgate purple whitening for something like 31p a tube and 2 small compressed deo's again well under £1....should keep us going without spending too much money.
So even my In's have been more necessity than anything inspiring.frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!
2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend0 -
19. L'Occitane Pivoine Perfector sample sachet. Didn't care for the dry feeling I got on application.
23 sane as aboveBack 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!

One cheeky IN arrived today:
TIGI Bedhead Dumb Blonde Toning Shampoo
I am knackered from work. At least I don't have to get up early tomorrow0 -
Flomar concealer in. It is a Turkish brand. I seem to be trying a lot more random brands from other countries as am bored of the same old same old. It also helps I see loads of diverse brands everyday... Too much temptation. I thought I lost the concealer but tossed it out by accident and had to hunt through the bins. I wonder what he neighbours thought.
Used up ogx conditioner. I have 2 extra in reserve. I am so dissapointed in the John Fredia shampoo, it seems to be really bad value as the ogx lasted months this other shampoo will be finished very soon. It was expensive so it is really terrible value and overall it's not amazing.0
