No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2018

lucia22

UU

Boots The Spa Mineral Bath Soak 125ml - This was a good bubble bath, smelled very mineral-y. I have plenty of bath stuff left and don't often take baths so will stick to my stash atm.

Bomb Cosmetics Festive Fair Isle Blaster - This bath bomb came in a gift box for Christmas. It was lovely. I don't usually buy bath bombs so it's great to get one as a gift.

My night cream has one use left and getting stuck into my sample body butters and creams so should have even more use ups soon.

Welcome to the thread redglitters.

How are the people on the no buy January doing? I haven't bought a single thing and don't need anything at all this month.

I haven't bought a thing! No clothes, no house stuff, no toiletries. Only petrol and food

doing quite well with use up/throws aways. Only thing i can think i might need is hair dye as i don't keep that many in stash. Other things might be needed as I'm finding things are bad before i can use them up not
really bought stuff in years so not a surprise.

soap and glory stuff seems to last longer than sancturary spa.next to test is jack willis/ted baker

I walked through the Boots 70% sale and bought nothing.
I was seriously tempted by the LE special edition C&P in their shop but resisted as I have already got a pump and 7 minis in the stash.
I did have to use up a BS voucher on my loyalty card earlier in the month but those were no cash spends.
Finally finished a Philosophy microexfoliating facewash which I won't be buying agin due to microbeads.

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!

was the same with stash .I moved house end of last year and the biggest part was all the smellies!! how does that even happen.considering how little i have bought over last few years i hate to think what the expenditure has been , even with glitches

I have only bought 1 thing, namely 41ml Mitchum AP/Deo stick as I realised that I don't have any in my overnight bag, as my dear sis (who does most of the organising for elderly ma as she lives nearer and unlike me is in good health) works I am first port of call to stay the night at short notice if ma is ill or takes a tumble.

I always keep deo, toothbrush and paste a cleanser, toner and moisturiser in the bag at all times so I don't end up missing necessary stuff.

I have to confess to having been doing some research on The Ordinary products to see if I can find less expensive replacements as I UU products. I had 4 things in my basket, but now see I have closed the tab and lost them before I could make a note for the future. There are so many products in the range and it took me ages working out what I would need:( Perhaps that is the universe taking over to prevent me from buying ATM:rotfl::rotfl:

UU
50ml Lotil English Weather Cream 6/6
IN
41ml Mitchum AP/Deo stick 1/1

Potentially 4/6 more UU might happen, but difficult to gauge how much is left sometime:(

Three INs today:

Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Shampoo 750ml
Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Reconstructor 750ml
Tigi Bed Head Colour Goddess Miracle Treatment Mask 200g

I've been bad and broke my No Buy. Though I am nearing the end of my current shampoo and conditioner so I want to be prepared for when it's empty. And the mask is to hopefully help my slightly damaged hair

But it's my birthday today!

I've bought some cotton wool pads and a bath lily. All very low in price and needed. I have placed an order with Avon today for some handwash at 1.00 x 2 for the kitchen sink which is an improvement from buying L'Occitane.
