No Buying Toiletries in October Challenge
Comments
-
I am aware that there is only 6 days left in the month...but i want to join in too please!
I've been rummaging in my room all night and making a toiletries inventory list...and my god is it scary already!! I still need to rummage in the bathroom and see whats in there tomorrow.
I'm not sure if i should include make up and nail polish in my list or not? I think i should really be honest and put the whole lot down. Does everyone else include make up and nail polish too? My list is completely obscene already, and i know my make up collection is crazy as it it, without adding it to this challenge...oh i just don't know what to do!! I think i'll sleep on it, and see how i feel in the morning!0 -
Two in's to report, a pair of envelopes were handed to me by my landlady as I got home from work this evening, its the two Benefit lippys from the flake giveaway.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

hello ! do it list it all i find it really liberating to see my list coming down!
I do not include my freebies just my purchases, although i do write what i think of the freebies..i find it helps when i see others expereinces of products.
also i do have a christmas box that i have put some bargins into that im not spending anymore than £20 on that is a gift to me . some people are putting a £1 into a box everytime they use something up then using the money as a treat at the end of the month (beauty treatment) .Also i found by keeping the freebies to one side in a box..they become my treats when im feeling a bit stuck in a rut with my bought stash..good luck see you on the other side xtotal debt 4711.00 at lbm (4217.31) dfd aug 2012 :eek: overdraft 800 (400.00) kill overdraft first, loan 1500.00 ,creditcard 2411.000 -

Thank you, i am going to add all my make up to the list this morning then, i will post my full inventory later when it's all done!!
I like the idea of saving £1 everytime i use something up, i'm going to start doing that as well!0 -

Okay, so here i my entire list (inc nail polish and make up) To be honest i am quite embarrassed to put it up, i'm so ashamed of just how much stuff i have, i dread to think how much this lot has cost me, which could have probably paid off a couple of my debts! There might be a few odd things missing, i know i have another tendertone, and 2 other lipsticks, which are probably in bags somewhere, but i've had enough rummaging for the now!!

Quick update, not much to report:
In:
Toothpaste - needed this as have none in stash, and it was only £1.09
John frieda foam hair dye - freeeeeee
Out:
Matrix Smooth shampoo. WIBA? No - nothing amazing, didn't see any change in my hair from it.
I'm now down to 2 sachets of shampoo (I'll use these next) and one full bottle! (and my T&G one for removing brassiness, but I don't count that as 'stash' as I do use it, and only every couple of weeks or so). And that's it for my stash... So now I'll need to start the serious serach for a HG shampoo. I've been keeping an eye on these threads, and looking at salon brand and organic options, no idea where to start!0
