No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2019

London_baby

UUs/TA:

Yellow beauty base uk nail polish - Was on my pp list, WNBA, but more in the stash. Great colours but very thin and watery so many coats are needed for a decent polish.

Oral b mint toothpaste - On it's way out probably by tomorrow, so will count it now- HG


Ins, all necessary:

Colgate max fresh intense foam toothpaste
Arm & Hammer sensitive care toothpaste
2 x Poundland footpacks, 1 argan oil, 1 peppermint & tea tree - One is now a GA
1 x Baylis & Harding handwash

Sprayed myself with Poundland's Beau reve and very impressed. The initial smell was horrible but once settled the scent is a nice floral and vanilla aroma and it has lasted longer than my normal perfumes. It's a dupe of Lancome's La vie est belle. WB for every day use for want to finish stash first.

Another UU today:

Odilyque rose day cream. WNBA. The rose seems to unsettling my skin.

I don't really know how this works but what a marvellous thread. I've read through the instructions but currently full of hayfever so it's not sinking in.

I was just having a rummage through my wardrobe and drawers today and by jove, I found things I didn't know I even had (obvs bought them in the past and completely forgotten about them): a few brand new sealed fragrances, enough hand cream to last about 3 years for a family of 5, gifts from years gone by, enough lip balm to last a decade or three, bars of posh exotic soaps I got probably a few years back and face masks which I have never used and will never use (why did I buy them?) and heaps of other things.

I normally walk past the Boots and Superdrug store on my way to work and always feel I have to have a wee nosey at the clearance shelf. This is my failing as I will normally see things for less than 50p which I feel I have to buy. I may have bundles of skincare stuff stashed at home but if I see something for 20p or so, I feel I have to buy it or I have missed out! I know I shouldn't go into these stores but I cannae help it!

I will definitely be following this thread and hope I can pick up some of your tips!

Cheers my dears.

One UU this morning:

Maui Moisture Strength & Anti Breakage Agave Shampoo 385ml WDBA and have done. This is lovely. My hair feels nice and clean, but not stripped. And my scalp hasn't been irritated once whilst using this. A nice sulfate free shampoo

UU

Sport fx cooling primer
Clinique eye cream (15ml)
All samples (6)

I’ve had one in (lush cupcake face mask HG). Freebie with the black pots

I’ve also decided, like my bathbombs, I’m not going to include perfumes in my stash as I enjoy using them and don’t have the use up mentality like moisturisers for example.

So total current stash: 151 (211 with perfumes :eek: ) most are the lush 30ml ones or various 5ml samples.

UU the two remaining hotel samples I had
I am going to try and refrain from using hotel toiletries in future.

Friendly Soap Company Patchouli & Sandalwood Soap
Friendly Soap Company Travel Soap Bar


This company is based 20 minutes up the road from me which makes me happy, they are a handmade soap company, ethical, vegan and sustainable. I am trying these out in anticipation of travel and replacing my shower gel and shampoo with them. Supports my local health food shop buying them there too.



Cotswold Soap Company Sensitive Soap Bar - we are nearing the end of our face wash which the whole family uses in the morning so we are trying this out in the hope we can ditch more plastic. I bought this before I found the company above.
