Ooh, which brushes did you get?I've been naughty! I've put in an order for 9 items at £20 (inc delivery). BUT they were brushes and I needed them badly as my poor eyeshadow brush is struggling. I also had a couple of stocking fillers in there. Can't wait for them to arrive though. Want to get practicing

Hi Im new to this thread, so bear with me...
I have far too many toiletries to mention and I know that I am coming into this on day 13 of the challenge, but I can honestly say that I have not made any toiletry purchases this month (and hope to keep it that way!!)
I will subscribe to this one and give you a daily update.
Good Luck everyone xx0 -
