No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2018

  • UU for my January PP list:
    Alberto Balsam Blueberry shampoo and conditioner WBA smells amazing, works, lasts ages and cheap. Enough said. I will be switching to Neal’s Yard rose shampoo and conditioner from my stash with the occasional Lush hair treatment (Jasmine Henna fluff-ease and Cynthia Sylvia Stout). This is the last of my hair products stash!
    Lush Outback soap (icy blue colour) WBA – Awesome. Smelt very clean and zingy. Brother, dad and boyfriend friendly.

    20ml Elemis Botanical Hand and Nail Butter. Awful stuff. I gave it away once. Researched it to see how much it would cost to replace and looks like it has been discontinued. Good riddance.
    Back 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!

    I needed to repaint my nails. Had not noticed until I got to work just how bad a job I had made of them. Was going to wear ESSIE Lovie Dovie but it's gone off. Not bothered really as I've never really reached for it. Am wearing OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons.

    Ninth Anniversary 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    One UU this morning:

    Toni & Guy Prep Heat Protection Spray 150ml WMBA. This was alright but I think I actually prefer the Tresemme one I used before this one.

    And one IN:

    Tresemme Heat Defence Styling Spray 300ml

    I am exhausted.

    UU Schwarzkopf got2b Crazy 4 Sleek Days Heat Activated Straightening Spray

    I like the texture of this spray, however, I cannot say it does straighten greatly. I don't mind that as I don't have curly hair so it worked well enough for me.
    I kept the bottle and filled with water to use it to damp my hair before styling it when needed.

    Hi ladies, I seem to be on a real roll which means that February no doubt will be quiet for me. Anyhow:-

    Boots Cotton Wool pads. New pack bought from Sainsburys.

    No 7 Beautiful Skin wipes. Have two more in stash. This has been depleted as I always give some to Emma to take back to Uni.

    Soap & Glory Supercream Hand cream. I got this in a swap and once the tube stopped dispensing cut it open and used as body lotion as I know how quickly S&G can go off.

    I have pulled out a new Time Bomb handcream (for at home) and a bottle of The Rituals body lotion to replace items.

  • Hi everyone,
    Can I please join you? I have no idea how much toiletries are in my stash, its that bad some of the items are a few years old! They are in drawers and boxes. They are all stored out of heat and light so I think they are mostly all still usable and I intend to try this year to make use of as much as I can and buy only items I have no back-ups of.
    I will start with a PP list for this month, small goals in the hope that it gives me motivation to continue.

    My PP list for January :

    Hugo boss woman orange edp 75ml
    Rituals Sakura body lotion 70ml
    Elemis skin bliss capsules 14
    Decleor eye cream 2.5ml
    Roger & gallet fig handcream 30ml
    Kerastase elixir cream 50ml
    Nuxe moisturiser 15ml
    Right guard deo spray pink bottle

    Some of these are half used so hoping for some UU to report soon. The perfume has around 20ml left so concentrating on finishing that up, Ive had it 3-4 years!

    Welcome to the thread. You have some nice products therein your PP list. The perfume I am working on at the moment is pretty old too (L'Occitane Amber & Santal). It's even been discontinued.

    Look forward to reading more of your posts.

    Hello everyone and welcome to the thread redglitters.

    UU'ed a pack of Waitrose Cotton Pads. I keep buying cotton pads whenever they are on offer. I have now loads of them, should stop buying.
