No Buying Toiletries in August Challenge!!!

muchowing

Morning All. Please count me in again this month. Didn't buy anything in July and hope to stay below £20 this month too. Stash is going down nicely and if I could only get into a regular beauty routine it would go even faster! Still every now and then is better than never I suppose.

Still keeping a note of interesting recommendations to try when I need replacements. I have never heard of most of the labels people on here use so it is fascinating reading about interesting products!!

Good luck for August everyone!

Oh no Rosemary that must be really tough for you! If it is any help you can get the Nivea DNAge eye cream for about £1 after the £5voucher. If you don't have the voucher, I can send it to you as to not waste money. But if you have a specific one sorry xx

ETA: Rosemary just came across this; http://www.allaboutyou.com/hair-beauty/all-about-you-free-trial/special

It's an eye roll on trial

I'm still in this challenge as there are still lots of bits of make-up and toiletries to use up. I've not had any more use ups yet, but I'm getting to the spurty stage on a couple of tubes so that's a good start.

Count me in as well. Been following this thread the last couple of months and I know I don't need anything.
I don't want to do a stock take, there's far too much stuff, hidden under the bad and in cupboards. I tried to sell some on ebay to clear my clutter but so far no luck and taking it to car boot sales is a waste of time, everyone wants it for peanuts.
I feel into the S&G bandwagon and have lots of different items. TBH I like the handcream, shower cream, facial scrub and some of the Spa range (although I think that's been discontinued) but I don't like the body butter - fcuk body butter is much nicer and cheaper.

I've listed part of my stash up there, and that is only from my boyfriends house.... x

UU to report- the mini BS Bodybutter form June's Marie Claire. It was the Love Etc fragrance and while it was nice I wouldn't buy it again as I much prefer the fruity BS Butters, particularly the Pink Grapefruit and the Satsuma. Shame u can't get the Raspberry anymore, that was yummy:(

No more butters in the stash, just a Vaseline body lotion (big bottle) which I bought in USA last month, pretty rich and very moisturising but fragrance free. However, I will use it till its gone before I head of to BS:A

Hi all,

Used up:
barbara daly (tesco) all in one face base - WIBA yes, already have. I apply it with a kabuki brush not the sponge and I think it looks better too.
aveda colour conditioner treatment - WIBA nope. My hair is frizzy with this stuff. I'd love to use organic stuff but this doesn't cut it for me.
crabtree & evelyn eye treatment sachet - WIBA not sure if they still sell it. It felt very rich and nice. Maybe when I need an eye cream (now have a bottle of Elemis eye serum on the go and that lasts ages).

Bought.....oh dear 4 tubes of hair treatment! In fairness one is for the swimbag and will probably only last a month. Another is for home and again will only last about a month. So 2 in stash not a great start to August but I know I will use this stuff up quickly. So dont feel too....bad.

Also bought some bio oil I've been considering this as a purchase for ages. Anyone like it on here?

Sofababe - you have already used up the mini body butter freebie from June?

I for one am seriously impressed - this is a great example of how quickly you should be able to need to use toiletries after buying them. :T I also have said body butter -its about 5 down on the list, tho 2 of them will go any day now.

Unless you chose it over others in a stack :eek: , and you are no :A after all. LOL.
