No buying new toiletries etc until.....

Babafette

Morning all! I've still not bought anything but then again I've still not used anything up either. :undecided

I've been religiously applying hand cream every night, have been using foot cream for the last two nights and started using up some Olay Daily Facial cloths. Will have a shower in a bit and see what I can use up.

I still haven't bought anything this month, which I am pleased with. I have used up quite a bit in the last few days. Just got to avoid going into Lush for a while....

Oh also i know this thread is about cutting down on toiletries but i'm going to come to the end of my hemp hand scrub from the body within a week or so and i can't see it on their website. Does anyone know if they still do it?

If not can anyone recommend me a good hand scrub?

I love Boots Fresh Hand Scrub. Have just looked for it on the website and I cant find it I've had it that long, its probably been discontinued :rolleyes:

I spent last night going through my mavala stuff and soaked my nails. Oh and I have been using No7 Softening Foot Balm on my feet. It is lovely stuff, but I prefer Aveda.

ohhhh I HAD to laugh this morning.

Got DS some Thomas the tank engine milk teeth toothpaste in his stocking (i always used to get t/p in mine wheni was little). our toothpaste was finished yesterday but I had forgotton to replace it and the 'spare' adult one was still in the poundland bag instead of in the toiletries box

So this morning i go into the bathroom and the thomas one is out on the top - DH obviouslty thought it was the only new one we had!! :rotfl:

I was just wondering when other people on here first started accumulating all their stash. I am sure that I started mine when I turned 30. I think I discovered Space nk at around about the same time. I think it started with me looking for the elixir of youth. I couldn't find it with their expensive products. I think then I got seduced by Boots and Superdrugs marketing ploys and the hope of finding what I was looking for with cheaper products. So here I am 15 years later none the wiser and can't move for products. Now my downfall is all the cheap internet sites. (obviously up until I joined this challenge)

Hi all i am new to the forum,
i have been lurking, but this thread has made me sign up! My bathroom is COVERED in toiletries that you can't see any of the surfaces. I love Liz Earles range and kept buying it on QVC but now i have so much i don't know what to do! So i will be subscribing to this thread to stop me buying anymore until i have used it all!!
Good luck to all as i know i will have a hard time with this!

I hate to admit it but my toiletries addiction started when I kept buying from QVC . Any beauty TSV (didn't matter which brand) I would buy just to cheer myself up I think. Also, it's nice waiting to get these goodies delivered to your door!.
This thread has opened my eyes - I have resisted many TSV's so far and I'm going to start looking into much better value products in the future - so hoping to save loads of money this year!

Repeating to myself - "Must not, must not, watch QVC!"
"Must not, must not, watch QVC!" "Must not, must not, watch QVC!" "Must not, must not, watch QVC!"

I found this with QVC, before i started buying from them i would never think of spending £30 - £50 on a TSV but they make it sound like its good value for money.
This is how my stash started, and all the brands that i bought are still in my cupboard :o

When i think back to how much i used to spend, i feel really embarrassed that i would waste that much money

I used to buy Liz Earle TSV's but you get too many mini sizes and things i dont use, so now i buy direct from Liz Ealre and buy exactly what i need. You can also request a free sample and throughout the year they send me full sized items with my orders as a thank-you for spending so much i guess :rotfl:

I wont buy the next Liz Ealre TSV cause i can probably make my own from my stash!
