No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2017

sstevo19

I bought a few things as back ups and two new products to try, and they arrived today:

La Roche Posay Toleriane Caring Wash 400ml
SVR Sebiaclear SPF50 Creme 50ml
La Roche Posay Cicaplast Pro Recovery 40ml
GUM Easy Floss 30m

That's my spending done for a while. I'm going to put myself on a No Buy in January. No INs at all.

And one TA as well:

La Roche Posay Anthelios Anti-shine SPF50 Mist 75ml WNBA. It irritated my skin so much

I am definitely joining this thread. Embarrassed to list the stash, but I will for January. It’s seriously ridiculous the amount of products I have. Can I be included please? x

Welcome jintyb

Don't feel embarrassed, I feel embarrassed that mine has gotten out of control.

We're all in this together

Welcome minty.

Another UU : Lush Cup o Coffee. HG and have one to replace it. Went to Trafford Centre today and swapped 5 empty pots for a face mask (in LUSH). The only item I purchased was a Discounted Yankee Candle, some scented tea lights, Christmas cards and gift wrap.

Welcome jintyb and don't worry, I'm sure lots of us on here have a stash just as big (or bigger) than yours!

Sstevo I'm with you on the No Buy in January, I've had a rootle through my stash today and I definitely don't need anything at all.

I did go for a look in the sales yesterday and bought 3 Jack Wills body sprays in the Boots sale, they're the non-aerosol type I prefer and should last me for months.

I have my allowed to buy list for 2018 now, and there's not much I need :rotfl:

I will need: shampoo, deodorant, toner, day moisturiser, mascara, spot treatment cream, and a small handcream for my handbag.

Everything else I am more than adequately stocked up with :eek:

I have gathered up my UU for December, don't think I'll manage any more in the next couple of days.

M&S Nature's Ingredients body spray in Aloe - WNBA, not a great scent, just a bit planty

Arran Aromatics Mandarin & mint body lotion - WNB, this was a freeby from a hotel for a friend's wedding several years ago! Was a bit thin and didn't like the scent much

Innisfree tone correcting toner sample - WNB, this was a free GWP when I was in HK. I will keep the small bottle to keep toner when I'm travelling though

Innisfree soy essence volume mascara - WNBA, didn't give a lot of colour on lashes

BS Absinthe hand cream 30ml - WNBA, I prefer the almond or Vit E scent from BS

Not many UU for December but I will keep trying next year! :-)

I will need to buy deodorant in about 2 weeks time, my HG, Mitchum Stick is on special offer at B**ts, (I have no back-ups), I may try and purchase this tomorrow and seriously aim for a no buy January too.:D

Hello all! I hope you had a nice Christmas, I fell off the wagon again (I'm starting to wonder when I was last on it!) and bought a 'few' things in the sales, oh well January 1st I will post an up-to-date stash list of absolutely EVERYTHING and keep coming on here to update as I think it will help me to get it back in control.

I'm posting mine, I doubt yours is any worse! Welcome!

I also bought those but for my best friend as it seems like something she'd like and use, I've used them before and they're really nice! I don't see her often so I always wait and get her presents in the sales :money:

Welcome. Don't be embarrassed, my stash is still huge but at one time it was seriously insane.

I have some uu

Avon Herbal Steam Bath Body Butter - this smells nice and is very thick but it does ball up if I used a bit too much. I have another in the stash but PWNBA.

Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm - this did a good job of dissolving makeup but there are other things which do as good a job for less money so WNBA.

I'll join in with a no buy January.

mad_scientist/Kadison - I bought DD those Jack Wills sprays for Christmas, it was very annoying that they were half price before I had even given them to her. Don't the retailers realise that this annoys us - a lot.
