No Buying Toiletries in October Challenge
Comments
-
I'm going to try this challenge this month. Shouldn't have to but anything except I'm already bidding on a bargainous bottle of perfume on ebay so I won;t count that.
1 use up already- Liz Earle shampoo and conditioner- WIBA- No, these were sachets that I received with the latest catalogue. To be honest they did the job the same as my herbal essences does and didn't particularly smell "Liz Early" IYKWIM.
Think another shampoo and showergel will bite the dust in the next few days.April £5 a day challenge- £15.05/£1500 -
Forgive me, for I have sinned! I bought the Instyle magazine today to get the L'Occitane handcream. I chose the Fleur Cherie and it smells lovely. I've noticed a pattern starting to develop: I'm naughtiest at the start of the month, it coincides with pay day and after having been disciplined for two/three weeks it's as though I need to "let my hair down"! As long as my UUs far outweigh my ins by the end of the month I shall be happy. At the beginning of September I listed my handcreams and so I thought I'd better do an update:
200 ml Atrixo Intensive Protection Cream (in use, one sixth left - keep downstairs and OH uses too)
25 ml No 7 Protect & Perfect with SPF 15 (from gwp, in use - keep in handbag)
BS Almond (in use - keep at work - half left)
[STRIKE]M&S Lily Hand and Body Lotion (in use, one sixth left (hurrah, hate this!) - keep in bedside drawer)[/STRIKE] UU
50 ml Boots Time Delay Restoring Hand and Nail Cream with SPF 8
50 ml Elle Macpherson Replenishing Hand Cream (from gift set)
30 ml Boots Royal Jelly with extracts of Pure Honey
30 ml Boots Royal Jelly with extracts of Pure Honey (in use, keep in bedside drawer - half left)
L'Occitane Fleur Cherie 30 ml0 -

I do it all because I'm scared.

Count me in too, I'm going on holiday on Sunday so going to take some of the little travel sized items with me and also from GWPs to try and get them used up. I often stay away with work and end up taking the shampoo and soap bottles, at least I have plenty to reuse!
So far no 'ins' but no 'outs' either!Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -
After a nice bath i have released a bottle of natural collection body wash/bath creme into the hands of the recycling gods! WIBA yes it was nice, moisturising, bubbly and smelt good i think it was a mango and passionflower one
Some soon-to-be UU will be my neverending tressemme hair masque, BS lemon body scrub (1/2 use left might just do the arms!) and that's it for the time being! Hopefully some of my make up will run out this month as that is really where my problems are....8 foundations on the go anyone?! :rotfl:
have a good weekend and perhaps the bad weather will encourage us to pamper (and UU!) that little bit more over the weekendx

some ins.....
Andrew Collinge shampoo and conditioner - I've just had my hair coloured and have no shampoo for it
Lush - oops. 8 bath bombs and the most amazing cinnamon Glogg shower gel0 -
A UU! S&G bubble bath. WIBA? No, still don't like the smell! Need to moisturise heavily before bed as I've been grouting and I'm dry as a bone! I'm using the rose soap I got for my birthday and it's nice and moisturising. Not as nice as the blissful body wash though

Count me in too! I have way too much stuff but can't resist a bargain... or new shiny packaging!
I'll do an inventory this week to scare myself into realising just what I've got, only a couple of things I might get, I discoverred the e.l.f website today which was dangerous! I'm allowing myself 2 things from there, and that's only if my friend orders something too as then I won't have to pay for delivery!
