No to Buying Unnecessary toiletries in August 2011!

alja

I've always been intrigued with those mooncups! Always wondered if I'd get on with one of those! Might be worth a try

i slowly getting rid of stuff
chucked out a bobbi brown moisturiser had kit for years and it went all funny still have anlother one to use up wont be buying it again felt it very heavy more like a night cream than a day cream so not worht the money
close to finishing a bobbi brown face base - would buy this again but wont be for a while
gave away a soap and glory thing thats like goes on then tints the skin - still have one left might use it on holiday

not making any headway with make up as not wearing as much just now but but did throw 2 foundations out that i wouldnt use again

I don't hoard sanitary products myself - more a case of rushing out at the last minute to buy a pack of tampons! However I've just invested in a Mooncup, so if all goes well I will never have to buy a tampon again...

I bought one a couple of months ago but haven't had the guts to try it! Think how much better they are for the environment though. And more economical, so should be a win-win!

Xoxo, how do I put a pic up? Can I do it from my BB?

Really?! My friend uses them. I think about doing getting one, and then I feel grossed out by it =s
I dont think I could manage personally, would rahter spend the money on tampons, lolol

Hi everyone, after a couple of months out, I'm back in with this challenge! Will post my stash list at some point, but I haven't really bought anything more since last time, just got to get the shower gel/soap and makeup stash down and I will be a graduate I hope!

Another UU to report - last night I UU the boots naturals hair mask deep conditioner thingy for brunettes and red heads. WIBA? I doubt it. While my hair feels lovely the first day after its dry, it only lasts for then, and my hair doesnt feel nice after. Will stick to leaving my normal conditioner on for a bit longer when I want to give my hair a boost I think.

Just off to book a hair appointment to get lots of mine chopped off tomorrow (if they can fit me in!) and hopefully she will do my colour for me again - so tomorrow I should UU the final Clairol colour foam from the freebees back along.

oh - and Im definately keeping away from the cheepsmells place - they are doing 50% off TIGI again - eeeeeek !!!!

Please count me in!!!!
I had a mixed month for July - I had a massive clear out and ebayed a load of stuff - outs listed below!! Unfortunately these were coupled with some ins - as it was my birthday yesterday (1st Aug) I got my hair cut on Saturday at an Aveda concession - the deal being that half the cost was redeemable on products - I then treated myself and so got the Smooth Infusions shampoo, conditioner, and heat defence smoothing serum. (and a free paddle brush!) :j
I had a few other ins - I've not been keeping track and so have fallen off the wagon somewhat, but there were false nails and I think a small amount of cheap makeup in there.

So my ebay outs;
Benefit Her Glossiness lipgloss x 3
Redken Dream whip mousse
Cowshed body lotion
Clinique Plumping gloss
Clinique Glosswear lipgloss
Body shop Hemp hand cream
Toni & Guy rubber shine
Lush Vanillary perfume
Charles Worthington Volume mousse
No7 tinted moisturiser
No7 P&P handcream
Boots Amazon handcream
Avon care handcream
Redken hairspray
Clinique cream eyeshadow
Clinique set of 3 mini lipsticks
Estee Lauder Daywear Moisturiser minis
Elemis moisturiser minis
Chanel chance perfume (1/2 used)
Avon multistylo
Clinique Dramatically Different moisturiser (1/2 used)
Clinique Moisture surge spray
Clinique fash wash minis
Tommy girl perfume
Barbara Daly lipgloss
Penhaligons bath set - shower gel, shampoo and bath essence
Estee Lauder night repair serum sachets
No7 P&P serum mini

And the best part - with that load and a few other things - a few clothes and a pair of trainers that don't fit etc - I've made £200 :j:j:j so a very happy girl here, with a slightly less cluttered bathroom.

I will do an updated stash list shortly as even with that lot gone, I don't believe that it's decreased too significantly!

Am off on my hols at the end of next week - 3 weeks in Australia (and meeting the boyfriends parents for the first time... eeek! Not only that, but spending the best part of 3 weeks staying with them too, :eek: so a bit of a baptism by fire there!!!) - so hopefully I will be sensible enough to not load up on toiletries out there as I'll just have to carry them all back!

Hope everyone is well. I know I said this last month, but I shall try not to go too awol this month (well, over the next couple of weeks anyway - not sure I'll be able to post much from Oz!)
