    Try again, after lost a big post......

    Well, I bought quite a few shampoo and conditioners which were either half price or BOGOF. Pleased with this and now have plenty to last a long time. Also pleased because I while ago I would spend an awful lot of money on these high priced and salon brands. Now I use high street brands and I can't tell the difference. In fact a lot of them are better. So now I used high street shampoo and conditioners and styling products and I am super pleased with how they work and the days of the high high priced ones are long gone!

    The only things left to buy are a new face mask as nearly out of these and I am almost at the end of these stocks.Boy I've had these for a long time and they're taken some working through. However, they will not be replaced with the same high priced salon brands. I will be trying one from my current skincare brand that suits my skin perfectly and also a low priced one to try out.

    Also will be buying a new concealer as I used mine up today (first time in a long time I've done this too!). Also used up a neck serum which was quite expensive but I can't justify the effect for the price so its back to the moisturiser for this now

    Getting there and maintaining the progress I think! Feels like it to me, hope it does to you

    Well done gothrockchic!

    I'm waging my own war against cleansers and mineral make up and foundations. I've had yet another reality check and decided to get real. I ran out of a concealer this week, have another one on the go and thought, I'll buy another one and completely ignore the mineral ones I have in the cupboard.

    Get real time - USE THEM UP, DON'T BUY ANY MORE UNTIL YOU HAVE RUN OUT

    That's my message to myself and please let me imprint it in my head

  • After sorting out the laundry, I've decided to add clothes to my 100 day challenge. (Will I manage this given the sales are around the corner....?).
    I also think I shall try to curb my spending on craft things.
    So my 100 days challenge is for clothes, craft and toiletries.
    If I can manage these, I should manage to save quite a bit of money over the next 3 months!

    You can add whatever you like cats. I'm concentrating on make up at the moment and telling myself not to buy any more at all. No matter what I think I need I know I don't need anything at all

    I have used up a sachet of hair mask, face mask and hand cream. Cut open a redness primer to use every last drop and also cut open a tube of cocoa butter foot cream to do the same.

    Will try my mineral foundations again I think and see how these look and I've moved onto a nice duo of eyeshadow which has been lingering in my make up bag for a while. Nice shade of cream and brown to use up which isn't too dark or shimmery when I apply it. I will use up what I have rather leave it in the cupboard unused.

    So its time to move onto a little more winter make up. Mineral foundation at the weekend, continue with sheerer liquid on for work and maybe at some point go back to the eye liner too. Have a daytime brown pencil I might start using again

    Will cancel my clothes show live order for make up as have way too much now and need to remember what I told myself - USE IT UP. DON'T REPLACE IT UNLESS I HAVE RUN OUT AND REALLY WANT TO REPLACE IT
