No Buying Toiletries In September Challenge!

One of the things I have gradually done is round up items by type eg shower gels and put them in their own drawer or toiletry bag. This then makes it simpler to see more clearly just what you've got and where your problem areas are.

The chest of drawers in my bedroom:)

1) lipgloss/lipstick/bronzer/eyeshadow/palettes,etc (all make-up)
2) Skincare stuff (cleansers, toners, moisturisers, serums)
3) Hair stuff
4) Body lotions, butters, shower gels, hand creams, nail polish
5) Random things like hairbrushes, tampons, contact lenses

It's all tidy but I'd be rather mortified if anybody looked inside it (well you guys would understand)

The top shelves of the wardrobe are loaded up with gift sets, perfume sets, make-up bags.

I've decided there's no time like the present to list a few more items, so here's my list of mascaras:

2 x Max Factor Masterpiece (one currently in use as a going out mascara)
17 Infinite Lash Defining Mascara (in use for daytime)
17 Ultimate Lengths
No 7 Lash 360
Maybelline XXL Volume + Length
Chilli Pepper (from gift set)
One unbranded (magazine freebie)
I've also got a mascara on the go in my work makeup bag (a No 7 or 17, I think)

Some of these I have had as a gwp. I obviously won't need to buy any for a long while yet!

Hurray, first day of the month and a UU to report: S&G Heel Genius, wiba? - probably not, was ok but nothing special. I have a couple of other brands of foot cream in the stash to work through and I'm hoping they'll be better than this.

Mags - question for you - on the occasions you bought the "bargain" bits in Boots, did you actually NEED to go in there in the first place, or did you just go in to browse, and get sucked in? If the latter, then you need to add to your aim for September "Stay out of Boots!"

No I never need anything there. How could I when I own so many things already:o Part of the problem is working so near a huge Boots and reading the Grabbit board, there's always a Boots offer on there.

I totally agree with you, I need to stay out of Boots. I keep going back to use those £5 No7 vouchers too. I'm not even buying anything to get them, my mother is constantly giving them to me because she hates No7.

Is some of this store intended to be used for pressies or could it be? If so, maybe you are well in control of your Xmas shopping already .

Wasn't purchased for presents but I do often make up presents from my stash. I always put perfume samples with cards too so other people do benefit

Yes, the perfect way to start someone else off on their very own 'no more...' challenge :whistle::rotfl:
