No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2017

asset2004

I am back again for this month. I do have a couple of outs, several gifts have been given out to raffles and I made a big set of beauty products from the Boots glitch a couple of years ago as a star raffle proize too.

On another note disappointed to open a Neals Yard moisturising cream yesterday to discover it has gone off! :mad: Yuck. I did get it free through O2 a couple of years ago but it still had it's silver seal intact. It does have a BBD on it of April 2015, but never thought it would go off. Disappointed with this. And even worse I have another tube got at the same time that'll probably be off too

I have a short PP list for this month as I've been super busy and don't have a lot of time to keep track of things atm. It's been a slower year but I'm up to 96 UU and definitely have acquired fewer new products than last year. I'd be pleased to make it to 100 UU for the year.

One UU from last night:

SVR Topialyse Palpebral Irritated Eyelids Anti-itching Soothing Cream 1ml WNBA as a full size. It's a bit meh. I don't see the point of it. It helped a little bit but it's not for me.

There's also a really good Liz Earle TSV on QVC today if anyone wants a bottle of fragrance.

I have a uu

Burberry Weekend EDT 30ml - loved this, a distinctive scent which lasted really well, WBA. I cracked open my last bottle of YSL Paris to use this morning - totally love this scent.

Sent the Avon book back with no order and said that I would let her know when I wanted another one to save her messing about. Also got two NBI yesterday. I had two Stila Smudgesticks which wouldn't wind up so I complained direct to them and they posted replacements straight away. I hope these work, I can't check as they don't retract - so annoying.

Hello

It's been aaaages since I last posted but I have been reading and cheering from the sidelines.
I started the year with about 250 things in my stash, mainly skincare because I don't use or stash much make up really. A lot were samples, very few large containers of anything. I tried to use up 20 things a month at least. This is easy when you have lots of sachets and bottles of hotel shampoo, hard water and v long hair. I thought that if I did that, and only bought what was necessary, I'd be on top of things.
But I sort of bought a few beauty boxes. And my OH travels a lot for work and brings me back the shampoos etc, so there's that. Also I can't go to Boots without looking at the clearance shelf.

I just did a count up of the current situation and it's 140 items in the stash, not including a look fantastic advent calendar and an entire bed side table drawer full of nail polish. Plus I bought some christmas presents and ended up qualifying for a beauty bag of samples. I MAY have asked for Lush for christmas. So all things considered (apart from the nail varnish) I think it's probably going to be about 180 by the end of this month, even if I UU 20 items as per the target. So going in the right direction. Weird thing is, although I am getting through the products, they seem to be taking up the same amount of space in the cupboard - does anyone else find this?

I went to Lush today and bought 3 bubble bars : Milk Bath, My Front Teeth and the Cracker. Used half My Front Teeth and its gorgeous.
