    Just updating my list - AGAIN!

    The only things I'll need in the next 100 days are
    [STRIKE]Redness moisturiser[/STRIKE]
    Reness cleanser
    [STRIKE]Redness corrector[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Deoderant
    Conditioner[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Body Lotion[/STRIKE]

    Ok, confessions time.

    I did buy the redness moisturiser and daily face base as I could see my redness returning for the last month and just didn't want this any longer. I did get 2 kits thrown in with it - the bonus time and the redness holiday kit I've had before so pretty good despite the outlay.

    Also bought the body lotions 2 for £6 on offer and pleased with this so the only things left to buy are the redness cleanser which I realised I could buy with my advantage card points and I would like a new winter blusher shade or foundation to go with my bonus time eye shadow quad.

    Also bought a bit of haircare on offer today, styling products that I have nearly run out of and some shampoo.

    Thats me done for a little while apart from the redness cleanser and I'll be back continuing using things up!

    Mortgage-free Glee! Debt-free and Proud!
    Afternoon All :wave:


    have used:

    can of anti-P (don't last long do they)
    sample sachet of facial prep scrub
    sample tube of exfoliator stuff
    travel sized bottle of cleansing gel

    therefore £4 now in the pot AND skin products now on my Christmas list (Dermalogica - blooming expensive but works well on my ancient parchment skin!)

    have spotted a large tube of strawberry bath/shower skin scrub stuff at the back of the cupboard - was a christmas pressie in 2009 - not even opened yet!

    :D

    Hi everyone! Starting again with a 100 day challenge- I did slip a little last time :o but didn'y buy anything expensive so that makes it better, right? :o Ok, not really, I know :(
    So, 100 days from today is 23rd Feb 2012.
    I definitely won't be needing any shower gel, body lotions or bubble baths etc. If there is anything I deperately want I shall put it on my Christmas List as a present... I may need shampoo, but definitely not conditioner (for some reason I always have way more conditioner left over thsn shampoos..) but on the whole I am going to use up as many things as possible in the next 100 days!

    Good luck Laura!
    Thanks :)
    My first challenge is: I'm going away at the weekend and was gonna go buy a whole bunch of new mini toiletries- instead I will route around and find little things that I'm sure I have lying around and left over to take :)
  • Ooh, I like this challenge.
    I'm gonna join too, if I may.
    So 16th Nov 2011 - 24 Feb 2012: no more buying toiletries unless absolutely needed (toothpaste etc).
    I was going to say 'no more crisps' as part of my health drive, but have decided that's unlikely (though I've not eaten/bought any for a week now and that's impressive for me!)
