100 day challenge take 3

Swinstie73

Well day 19 for me good! Did an inventory last night, took me two hours and still not finished. Won't list everything but how many bottles of perfume does one woman need - I have 18 normal bottles (50 - 100ml) and 13 small bottles (4ml - 10ml).

So that is (not counting bottles got as presents), around £600+ I have spent ON PERFUME ALONE! I think I need help!

Wow Swinstie! Thats a lot of perfume! Could you sell any?

No more purchases from here, but do need to get some eye make-up remover - can anyone suggest a good but gentle one? I do use my Cleanse and Polish on my eyes but it never seems to get it all off.....

Hi Sarahneedle,

I thought about selling some, but I love them all and couldn't part with them! I'll think about it, there might be some I could get rid off actually.

I use No. 7 Eye Make-Up Remover, it's good and it's about £6.50, BUT I usually buy it when I get a free £5 voucher from Boots, so only really is costing £1.50, and it lasts for ages! x

You and me both - I haven't done an inventory of my perfume stash but it takes up a whole drawer not counting the opened and in use bottles on the top of the dressing table unit. :eek: That's why I specifically added it to my list of "not to be bought" for this challenge - and so far have not had any problems sticking to this part of the challenge - hope that isn't tempting fate.

Thank you for the words of encouragement about my partial lapse regarding clothes buying - although I didn't spend any actual money I still feel it wasn't in the spirit of this challenge so won't be giving myself full marks at the end of the challenge.

Everyone who posts seems to be doing very well and as usual being part of a challenge group is a really good incentive to keep on the straight and narrow

Hi Sarah,

I like to decleor eye make up removing gel, it is a bit pricy at £17.50 for 150mls but I find it very gentle and it has lasted me a good long time. You might not like the price so much tho!

Hi

I back swinstie on the No7 eye make up remover - it's very similar to clarins. It leaves a bit of an oily residue but then I always think that it is an anti-ageing thing (in my warped universe dry skin = wrinkles).

Right

Good points:
Have finished a bar of soap (have a about 6 more to go!)
Have finished a tube of moisturiser

Bad points:
Bought chocolate yesterday - my excuse: It was just before an exam and I needed the sugar fix!

I'm not going be too harsh on myself - I am thinking of all the chocolate I haven't bought.

Hope you are all doing well.

Good points used up an Eve Lom cleanser (had for ages and only used periodically) now have another one unopened in the second stash drawer. About to finish a 50ml Cleanse and Polish too!

Getting there, every step counts, use up stocks first don't worry about replacing them yet
