No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2019

  • Ponygal ..a lot of the free hotel stuff are so basic that they are really bad. I used a shampoo and oh boy oh boy it caused everything to flare on my scalp. The only use is as s detergent for a spill on an item of clothing or washing socks. Never for the body.

    Now if they have premium brands it's a different story.

    I'm in the rotten stage where there is big pans and still miles to go. No empties coming up to motivate me to use it up asap. Using less makeup as warm reduces the rate of using up. Keep on keeping on.

    One UU from this morning:

    Maui Moisture Strength & Anti Breakage Agave Conditioner 385ml WDBA and have done. This is lovely. My hair feels more under control when I use this. And it's very moisturising for my hair. And it smells lovely :)

    Hi all!

    Can I, erm, rejoin? I've been following along when I can, but not posted for maaaany months - sorry, life has been a bit crazy for a few different reasons.

    I've been pretty good with toiletries and make-up though - a few in's, but more out's overall.

    I need to take stock a bit more, but my two key challenges at the moment are:
    - get rid of at least one nail polish a week! I have too many, I've finally admitted. They just won't all get used. I'm on track so far (started in June) with 1 UU, 2 TA as dried, and a couple set aside for friends to take
    - Empty my main cupboard enough so I can move in all the items in an extra bag I have. It's not big, but I really want everything in just the main cupboard!

    I'm almost certain to be moving by the end of the year, so do need to de-clutter a bit :)

    I hope everyone is well, and enjoying pampering themselves :D

    Two UUs from this morning:

    Lush Snow Fairy Body Conditioner 50g WDB as a full size. This was lovely. Great for mornings when I need to rush and don't have time to apply body lotion. The smell is lovely, I'm a sucker for the Snow Fairy scent.

    Soaper Duper Silcillian Lemon Body Butter 50ml WMBA. This was a nice body butter, great for my feet. Cheap-ish, but I'm not too keen on the scent. But there's no mineral oil in it, which is great :)

    Hello everyone! I have slowly been working through my stash and am pleased that, as of this morning, I have used up ALL my myriad bottles of body lotion, (except for one bottle of Chloe perfumed lotion that I take away with me instead of packing perfume). :j:j

    I have plumped for the Weleda Skin Food moisturiser for the moment.

    Onwards to using up my face skincare product and I will tackle the jumble of hand creams as well.

    Was wondering why things had gone a bit quiet on this thread then realised I was still looking at the June one :o

    Anyway, I'm still in. Not really used much up as not in a very good place at the moment but will attempt to use up what I can.
