No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2018

mad_scientist

Hello everyone, I managed my first UU for the month today so not exactly sprinting out of the blocks!

1. Avon jet femme fragrance body spray 75ml. WNBA I try not to buy aerosol sprays because they don't last very long. Still have 9/10ths of the perfume left lol

I had a message from mse to say it was my 7 year anniversary so that's 7 years of the no buying toiletries challenge (and still a long way to go !)

All the best to all the new year newbies!

UU
No7 Beautiful Matt foundation 30ml - WNBA not touch proof
Benefit Gimme Brow mini - WBA
Simple make up remover wipes

Finished 2 Miss Pattiserie sugar scrubs - the tubs were both half full of the oil still, so I added coarse sugar and the tubs are full again!

So I had my christmas present money to spend at Bicester Village last Friday and found some Charlotte Tilbury bargains which I've been after for a while. I also found some more bits in the house whilst having a clear-out and the dentist gave me free mini toothpaste. A quiet weekend meant I've had chance to list some stuff on eBay so my new tally is:

426 Total skincare items (doesn't include make-up or hand soap)

12 UU :T
10 GA or Selling

UU include:
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum - WNBA as I have other serums which I think are much more effective e.g. S5
Radox Shower gel Shea butter & ginger - WBA I loved this when I first got it but get bored easily of shower gel so just had a few uses left in this which needed finishing.
Origins Plantscription Anti-ageing serum sachet - Liked the feel of it and absorbed well.

Which brings me back to 404 ....

UU
Spa cucumber refreshing facial wipes finally finished. They were OK but didn't really cleanse but they did cool my face and wipe off any make up. WNBA

Decided to use up my more expensive citrus body butter tonight first as it was bought as a gift by my partner last year and I don't know what occasion I was keeping it for and it is the oldest one so I'm smelling of lemon and lime tonight lol

Hi, I would like to join please? I have been stock taking yesterday and have 62 products. It doesn't seem like much but for me, it's alot.

I don't count anything that belongs to my partner even though he has a full bathroom drawer lol. He thinks he uses everything! He doesn't. I don't count toothpaste or handwash as we both use that and I only have one IN at a time and replace when almost empty.

Welcome, no matter the size of the stash if you know you have products languishing in a cupboard instead of being used it's time to start this challenge. xx

Yes, there's no point hanging onto that body butter for it to go off and be useless. x

A couple of recent UUs

First Aid Beauty facial cleanser - WNB like you VALM I found it a bit soapy. It dried my skin out
A guest soap. Every UU counts!
REN 1 minute face mask - this stung a bit but my face did look brighter after. WMBA

Corgimum

I have finally done a stocktake and I am pleased to say I only need to target my stash for about 3-6 months before I can keep on top of it. As I said in my earlier post, I have been addressing my stash for a while already as a silent lurker.


January Project Pan
Bare Minerals face primer
Nivea Soft Face, Body, Hands (using as hand cream)
Outback blue Lush soap (it’s on its last legs)
The Body Shop Coconut shower gel 500ml
Mark Hill Seven wonders hair spray
Alberto Balsam Blueberry shampoo
Alberto Balsam Blueberry conditioner
The Body Shop Vitamin E Eye cream
Bare Minerals Skinlongevity vital power infusion serum
The Body Shop animal shape bath jellies
The Body Shop Red Musk Eau de Toilette


Gone already in January
UU- The Body Shop Green Tea Eau de Toilette - It was OK but the scent doesn't last WMBA
TA- The Body Shop Vitamin E lip balm - TA as was covered in sand but was quite old
GA - The Body Shop Green Tea Sorbet WNBA – These sorbets are rubbish. I feel terrible to give this away but life is too short for terrible products. I had to put another moisturiser on after this as it was so useless.
