No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2017

I confess to some sale Ins:
Body shop body butter, Pina Colada and Raspberry - not stashed, will use, got a good deal
Champney face mask selection - not needed, whoops! But they were a bargain!
Also received a Burts Bees minis set as a gift.
Targeting 20 UUs for January, mainly single use products and minis - I have a bit of a hoard of these at the moment. I commit to a no-buy for makeup and facial skincare in January. May need some bodycare stuff.

Hello!
I've previously been on these threads, but life got in the way a bit!
However, I have been getting through my stash and am in a much better place.
Well, I was until Christmas came round and I'm drowning in products again!
So I shall be joining back in again from January and I can't wait!0 -

Hi everyone, thanks for the lovely welcome. So I finally completed my count...... it's 404 :eek:
That does include 96 sachets, so there's 308 normal and mini size products :eek: :eek:
I've put them all on a spreadsheet so unfortunately I know there was no mis-counting. So now I truly do need to start using them up.
Started last night with a long bath complete with hair-pack, facemask and two stage facial, not an inch of me left untreated / pampered / scrubbed at least twice! :rotfl:
UU - Used the last of a mini toothpaste I was stashing for my travel bag - realised i have several other mini toothpastes so no saving required! And a few sachets.
GA - Gave a couple of things to my friend which will suit her hair type much better.
I know I can get through some of the sachets quickly but I'll still be impressed / relieved / amazed if I get to less than 100 by next Christmas! So here goes!!
P.S. that doesn't include hand soap or make-up (there is probably the same again in make-up - I'll face that another day!)
Overall my 404 is now 16 lighter... is that 16/404 ? Not sure how that notation works.GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

UU number five for December:
Living proof volume spray. WNBA. Left hair a bit sticky and not sure it did much for volume.
Think that will be me unless something surprise finishes tomorrowNot buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN0 -
My last UU of 2017:
Soap & Glory Rich & Foamous Body Wash 8ml - Lovely scent, came in a gift set. WNB as I don't tend to buy full size S&G products and have plenty of shower gel left in the stash. No complaints though, lovely body wash.
Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave-in Conditioner 250ml - I love this conditioning spray - used it up a while ago but forgot to log it. WDBA as HG product for me but will use up the rest of the stash first.
Well that's it for 2017 - takes me to 114 UU for the year (EDIT: Forgot to add yearly make-up UU to the total). Not too shabby and I did have some INs but not as mad as previous years. Plan for January is to use up some of the travel size products I got at Christmas. Happy New Year Everyone!No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2019 Total UU since 2016 - 396 | Total February UU - 10 -

Welcome newbies and returners! Every January we seem to get a new influx, here's the January 2018 thread, thank you sstevo19.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0
