No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2022

  • It can really be any or all or those categories! When I started out it was more things I wanted 'rid' of, now that I've got a more focused selection it's things that are open or that I want to work on. 

    Now I try not to buy too many of the same thing and in some categories I've got one plus a spare, but others I've still got more of a stash to work through. The hardest stuff I find is perfume, face treatments and hand creme as they all take ages to use up!

    Not that I intend to purchase anything else this month but I'd be interested in your feedback on the shower steamer, if you don't mind.  
    Shower steamers - made by Cleverfy and a box of 6. I have used 2 so far and they smell nice but can’t say I’m blown away by the product and they seem a bit pointless to me as all they do is make the bathroom smell spa like for a short time. I prefer a bath with a nice bath bomb which lingers much longer.
    There is a menthol and eucalyptus one however which might be good if full of cold so I am saving that one!!
    they seem to get good reviews on Amazon which really baffles me?
    Entering a few comps here and there 2020 seems my best year for wins so far:- iphone xs, limited edition whiskey, Masha and the Bear toys, newborn baby stuff, 3 x books, 12 months membership to diet app, bottle of syrup, Baby Shark singing puppet, children’s book, Nasty vegan shake x 2 packs.

    Fab, I shall work on that list as a good starting point. Am sure I'll finish other bits n pieces along the way too! 😁

    Thanks for your honest review perfect10. I’m not keen on one time use products. I was lucky and was given 3 x LUSH sets for Christmas, two of which contained 3 bath bombs but I’ve used them all already. Much prefer bubble bars.  Still let me know how you get on with the mint one.
    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 gave the Givency perfume sample to Emma as I didn’t particularly like it.  Have more of them so will fish them out for her too.

    I have UU'ed The Beauty Pie Foot cream. It was an ok product but I walk a lot and my heels are in need of something a bit richer.

    ally.
  • One more UU: 

    Midnight recovery concentrate. WNBA. Was a gift but I find it overly greasy.

    Love Lush especially the bubble bars, have yet to walk past a Lush shop without buying a couple. Good job there are none where I live!
