No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2018
Comments

UU: Yorkshire Soap Co Fresh deli lettuce and cucumber - WBA this lasted ages! I initially used it as a face soap and then as I ran out of soap for showering over the year I used it for that and handwashing.
UU: Lush Cheer me up Buttercup bath bomb - this was a gift. It's fine, but I would probably not repurchase myself.
My updated PP list for end of the month:
Crazy Rumors Mint Chocolate Lip Balm
Essence Stay All Day 16h Concealer
UU Tisserand Wild Rose and Geranium Leaf handcream - hoping to finish this!
UU B. Superdrug Day Cream with SPF - think I will finish this too! Would love any recommendations of face creams with SPF that are vegan friendly!
Roots Double Effect Hair Growth Conditioner
Elemis samples - 2 left ( I UU one of them!)
UU Beauty Kitchen Rainbow Bath Bombs0 -
Another UU today:
Faith in Nature coconut shower gel. WBA. Love this and it lasts ages!Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN0 -
Hello everyone, hope you had a good Christmas?
I'm here to report my xmas ins
I asked my mum for the no. 7 star gift for xmas, it's quite sensible though because I would have to buy day and night moisturiser next month and I haven't got any mascara back up in my stash. The lip crayon and face mask might linger in my stash for a while
I bought myself lush snow fairy before xmas, it's my first shower gel purchase for a few years. I do still have a huge stash under my bathroom sink but I love this one and it's only for sale just now
I have 4 handbag size handcreams from the body shop which I didn't give away as presents so I will keep them instead
I bought 6 body sprays in the boots sale, this will last me all year! 3x jack wills and 3x so .... I still had one jack wills in my cupboard from last year which I thought I had got through but never mindNo more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins0 -
Urgh just lost this post when I looked for a suitable new year emoji lol
Shorter version with my UU
Yardley English daisy perfume, not very long lasting scent but fine for a daytime spritz
Jack wills body spray, part of last year's sale purchases, have bought this year's set in the sale
Korean sheet face mask, WNBA don't seem to do much
Happy New year to everyone when it comes!
I'll be back in January for another year hahaNo more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018

1 UU this evening:
Cath Kidston Hand Cream - WDBA, I have never known a hand cream absorb so quickly!! Great for using when you’re out and about.
Stash total is 119Less is the new more0 -
One UU tonight:
I’m From Honey Mask 3ml sample WMB as a full size. This was nice and gentle. And no smell at all.0 -
One TA:
Garden Of Wisdom Vitamin C 23% + Ferulic Acid 30ml WNBA. I have been testing this for months and I can't make it work in any of my skincare routines, and it irritates my skin quite a bit lately. I want to use a Vitamin C serum for the antioxidant benefits but the few I've tried my skin doesn't agree with them. Hm.0 -

Have repainted my nails today with OPI Less Is Norse which is gorgeous.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!
