No Buying Toiletries in December Challenge

EssexHebridean

I'm probably going to buy the Soap & Glory OOTW tomorrow.

I have worked on the basis that there are bits in there I wouldn't usually use, and those I will eBay. The set is still good value for me for the bits I WILL use though, so I shall buy it. I have to say though there is no way I would consider spending that sort of cash on stuff I'd not tried and didn't 100% know I loved. Rosemary - I really would give it a miss if I were you - the problem with S&G is it's the Marmite thing - you either really love, or absolutely loathe, the products. Flakeaway scrub for example that many people rave about, I can't bear!

Hello ladies,

I need a bit of stern encouragement. I just went on another thread and read about Poppy King's Medieval lipstick, then I googled it, and checked it out on MUA, and now I'm desperate to buy it! I'm always very timid with lipcolour and just use gloss or tendertones, and this sounds perfect. But I should not be spending £20 on a lipstick...

Just got out all my lip stuff to discourage me from buying anything. I currently have 5 lipglosses, a lipstick and 4 lipbalms. MUST NOT BUY ANYMORE...

Sorry for the rambling, I get frustrated with saving the pennies everywhere else and then having sudden whims and spending a fortune on toiletries! x

How about you say to yourself that only when you have used two lipsticks totally up you can have another one?

Well another IN to report...but it was a gift from my pal's holiday in the states. Korres Fresh Fruit shower Gel Duo - Jasmine & Basil Lemon. I have already put these into my washbag for my week's xmas break to London.

I will do my best to avoid temptation... trouble is, I actually do love S&G and at £20 it's a good bargain! But I will remind myself why I'm doing this and maybe spend the £20 on something else - like this little beauty:

I have £14 on a gift card so it would only cost me £16, and I do love it.

The Accessorize bag is really pretty. If you love it, I think you should resist the S&G and treat yourself to the bag instead. Who knows, you may get some S&G for Xmas anyway !

A UU for me tonight of Garnier hair dye. I've now only got the freebie Mousse Dye and a Clairol Root Touch Up left (which I'll get 3 applications from).

No more INs yet! I'm really proud of myself thinking of this thread on here everytime I'm out in the shops, it really does stop me buying! I have a feeling I'll probably get some toiletries from my parents this year anyways, so there wouldn't be any point in buying any anyways!
