No Buying Toiletries in October Challenge

I have a question for Jacks!
Is the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer worth the price? I've heard great things about it and am tempted to buy it to rescue my highlighted hair, but it's still awfully expensive...

I've been flicking through Instyle magazine this morning and found a sample of L'Oreal Youth Code Day Cream. Also, a 7ml tube sample of Olay Regenerist Serum dropped through the letter box this morning. I will be buying deodrant today as my current one will run out any day now. I'd better crack on with UUs then! May be able to report one tomorrow.

I got a freebie lipgloss from Tesco for joining the beauty club - lovely. But I have bought a copy of Marie Claire to get the nail polish and Instyle to get the cherry blossom and the fleur cherie handcream (already got the 3rd one from last time they did it) and so two samples of the youth code cream as well.

:wave: I swear by it my lovely! I've been using it for years and I'm on my second litre pot.

Elasticizer saves me in money on hair colour because it helps keep my colour nice. It saves me money on hair cuts because I never have to go and get some chopped off because it's in bad condition. And it saves me time everyday because keeping it in good condition means I don't have to wrestle with it with a brush and hair dryer to make it look nice. I wrap it in a towel while I put my face on, then rough dry with the dryer and then tidy it up with brush and dryer for about two minutes at the end instead of a laborious full 25 minute blow dry secstioning it all off because it's so thick.

My hair is thick because there's so much of it but each hair itself is fine. It's also about 30% grey these days so it's coarse in places as well. I colour it every three weeks at home which on paper should be bad for it - but it's in lovely swingy condition.

A few years ago I was having my colour done in salons but not using Elasticizer and even though they were probably much better at just doing the roots with no overlap than I am on the back - my condition was much worse.

It doesn't suit everyone though. I would keep an eye out for one or two of the one use sachets that pop up on eBay and give it a couple of goes before splashing out on a big size.

There's a Philip Kingsley TSV on QVC this Wednesday coming! :j

Count me again also.

One spluttering almost UU, hopefully tomorrow will be the last day as not that impressed, but it has been in my stash many years from a glitch - Boots Body Science Sculpting Body Mousse - I found a couple of these a few months ago and this is the last one.

2 Ins today, but freebies as 2 trial face creams for research. I still cant resist a freebie, but hoping for no actual buys this month, especially as DD now at Uni.

:eek:Just replaced a couple of UUs with things from The Stash and I am absolutely flabbergasted to find that The Stash is barely half a a drawerful these days. :j

Ok it's a largish drawer - but still!

Cheer ladies! :T

I bet I'll just get it down to almost nothing and then it will be Christmas and it will fill up again!

Have managed to resist the Liz Earle TSV on QVc today. Once upon a time I would have bought it without thinking and then realised that I didn't use/like half of it.

I'm in again!! Lost track of my inventory but not going to do another one. I am just going to compare last months to how I'm doing in December to see if I've done well.
Last month had too many Ins although a lot of them were freebies/purchases on a giftcard. This month I am going for no purchases at all. I think I can do it )

2 UUs to report this morning -Pantene Brunette intensive conditioner WIBA? Yes-esp if it's in the pound shop which is where I got it from. Ans Cien deoserant from Lidl- WIBA? Yes its fine and was cheap-something like 49p!!

I'll be in on this. Resisted the bargain QVC TSV this morning and feel very proud. Yet to do an inventory of my existing toiletries though...
