No buying toiletries in March challenge!

InaPickle

New month, and I can honestly say I can't see what on earth I might need to buy due to stocking up on essentials last month, so I'm just looking forward to whittling down the existing pile and creating more space! :j

I think I'll only have to buy toothpaste this month - I should be fine for everything else.

TBH, I've acquired so many mini things in Feb it's made me a bit anxious about toiletry clutter - I'll have to use some more stuff up soon to make me feel better!

Hi everyone I too am a lurker :rotfl:

Now need to sort my toiletries out as I now have a big draw full of shampoo, conditioner, body lotions and the like.
I am getting out of control with my spending so need very much to use what I have (it's all Boots fault :rotfl:)

Im now going to have to be stronger as I have cut my work hours down so not so much money comming in

It will be great to have the suport for everyone here

Hello everyone, I don't usually post but as a bit of a toiletry-addict, I think this thread may be just what I need to keep me on the straight and narrow!

Right, am now feeling inspired to go through my cupboards to see what's lurking...

So wonderful to have so many lurkers joining in this month. Welcome. I hope it encourages you not just to join this challenge but to post on other parts of the site too.:)

ok, I'm NOT going to buy the parrot green eyeshadow this month either.

I only foresee needing deodorant....depending on what DH has in town. I have two bottles here, but DH goes through then at the most phenomenal rate ...he only uses them here three mornings a week, yet uses more than I use the whole week! And conditioner, and possibly jojoba oil. If I'm unlucky I might get to the end of the sample moisturisers. (to think I thought I might need to buy one last month, rofl.)



I'm going to round up the stuff I realistically don't use and DH will drop it off at a shelter in Inner City, It will clear the decks considerably I think.

morning all

not used anything up over the weekend BUT im almost at the bottom f a couple of products so hoping to ave those finihed in the next couple of days.

my nail polish remover is ver low so that will NEED replacing at so point this month but i cant see anything else that will warrant buying (of course mothers day is lurking so that could potentially swell the stashes)

dont forget today is PYNM (paint your nails monday for the newbies)
ive got a nice plummy colour sorted for this afternoon

Get down to your nearest Clarins counter and you can get a few more samples - then you hopefully won't have to buy moisturiser this month either! I reallu like the Hydrasense one I got - I might actually buy it in future (once through the stockpile!)

morning everyone, I cracked bigtime last month and now my stash is even bigger than ever, but i promise myself i will NOT be buying anymore for the forseeable future!
Now bubs is born, my craving for dove has vanished :j I used up my cream bath last night, do not need to buy anymore, have loads of other bubble baths left :T

paint your nails monday is rapid ruby rimmel 60 seconds for me :cool: but only toes i think, bit bright for my fingers when all i do is look after kids all day :rotfl:

Morning girls!
Happy St David's Day to any of the Welsh ladies

This morning I discovered I REALLY dislike 'Butter Up!' from S&G so that's went to DD. Looking inside my hatbox the contents are really dwindling! This is a good sign, means I am actually using and enjoying it, rather than it being an ornament in my bathroom, like so many of my toiletries have been over the years!

Getting seriously back into my swim/gym routine this week so that should help the conditioner/body butter stash go down, the chlorine plays havoc with my hair and skin so will need to up the ante there.
I'm now officially down to 5 full BS butters now and one half finished. This is great considering after Christmas I had 9!
I'm making up a wee hamper of goodies for OHs granny for mother's day. She's a really sweet old lady and we've become quite friendly over the past few months (she helped me out with a project I did last semester in Uni on disease in the Glasgow slums, she was a nurse in the Royal Infirmary during the war) and I'd like to say thank you. I lost my last granny last year and I've kind of adopted her as my own now I'll pop in a couple of bits from the stash.

Great to see more newbies, I really hope it helps you all out. I've only spent 2-3 pounds since I started and I feel so liberated! Good luck to you all.
Have a good day girls! :j

Yay, shiny new thread. Will try to keep up with this one!!!

Just washed my hair with the Herbal Essences 'hello hydration' shampoo that I got from Asda last week. Sooo gutted I didn't notice it had coconut in (allergic), so now my face is as itchy and red as a tomato Nice way to start a new week.

I've just finished a S&G Hair Supply mini, deodorant is on its way out too.
