however my e.l.f. lip plumping lippy is nearly finished and i am very very very tempted to purchase a new one ... or two ... or three - just to justify the postage, of course - not to accumulate any more stock!

How many times have I done exactly that:rotfl: That is the reason I have loads of ELF stuff upstairs unopened (not to mention other internet purchases:o ). I always like to get free postage but with ELF being so cheap you have to buy a lot of items to get the free postage:eek:

Is it a bit late to start? I guess only 60 days left but as a newbie I can start small.

I will not buy impulsive snacks such as crisps and chocolate, or drinks - coffees and bottled pop etc . Not sure why it has suddenly started. I think it's because of the shiftwork.

Like many others should be kinder on my pennies and my waistline!

Still doing quite well over here! I'm still reading eve magazine. It's the only magazine I read cover to cover. The free mascara is amazing! I've not had any urges for makeup, magazines or chocolate which is quite good Although I seem to be spending all the money I would spend on that on bedroom stuff. I'm half way through re-doing my bedroom so I can't add that to my list because it would do my head in with all the things it needs (i want for it) ho-hum!

Hope everyone's doing well!

Wow, day 40 already? Seems like less. Well my cosmetics challenge is going great (am tempted to ask what ELF makeup is but I won't!). I can't belive all the stupid shades of makeup I've bought then discarded. Any idea what to do with them? Most of the eye shadows etc. have only been used once and I feel wasteful binning them. Maybe I should dress as Boy George at Halloween?

The no buying bread, cakes etc. has been kind of counterproductive as I have been baking them at home then eating them as if they're going out of fashion:rotfl:Would have been better for my waistline to just buy them individually. You live and learn I guess.

60 days to go - come on, we can do it :T

I had to buy some chocolate today as I have friends coming over tomorrow and I decided to do strawberries dipped in chocolate. I obviously decided that I needed to do TWO types of chocolate and might have bought bigger bars than strictly necessary.

other than that, all good.

I had to go into Boots yesterday as DH needed deodorant. I used my points to pay for it:j I saw a beautiful eyeshadow palette reduced to £15 from £30. Now I am longing after that. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up in the sales even cheaper:D All still good here too though.

Snow White you have to try out ELF make up when this is over. All items are £1.50 and are excellent:D

*is very tempted to search for ELF stuff but won't*

have mananged to use up two moisturisers, found an old face cream which I really HATE the smell of and am using it as a foot cream(!)

I may run out of dedorant and shampoo, Mum bought Dove soap which I use ( shower gel makes my skin so dry) but she buys it as part of the shopping so its not me as such.

I think I can probably hunt out some shampoo but may have to cave on the deodorant front.

I am astounded at how much I haven't missed shopping. I did at first but not any more

Welcome aboard:hello:

Buffy I haven't missed shopping much either and when I do go into Boots I now find it easier to walk away:A Ok I do still have sinful thoughts about cosmetic items I want but now I am feeling so much better for being able to walk away:T

recycled some of my makeup. My older sister is going to a halloween party this weekend and started rolling off a list of makeup she had to buy, so I rooted around in my makeup bag (when I say bag I mean a tote bag filled! Seems ridiculous now) and ticked almost everything off her list.

Still no more make up, magazines or chocolate
When I changed my bedroom around last week I found more facey washy bits! So I picked up some cotton pads when I was shopping yesterday and I'm planning to use all that up.
I know I haven't given up shampoo, face wash ect but yesterday I chucked an empty shampoo, conditioner, body wash and face wash bottles. (last week I did get some body scrub but talked myself down from a £6.50 S&G tub to their £2 travel pot)
