No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in November Challenge

I haven't bought anything since the start of the month. Am 'shopping my stash'. Found loads of make up I've barely even used. :A0
-
all i seem to be getting now are the 'boring' UU's - Dove deodrant, baby talk and face wipes. But..... with todays UU of lug bugs, aka ear buds, i'm down to a stash of 149 items.
this was my target to reach by next may so i'm going to give it a go at getting down to 125 by May.
I've taken some sanctuary mande lular body cream into work as a hand cream and i have to admit it's the first sanctuary thing which has dissappointed me, it's really really runny, it's pretty old so i wonder if it's due to age, but at least it's another way of clearing a pot from my stash. I love their body butter that i'm using at the moment, and have a load of their body souffle that i need to use up as well. One day i will use them all up!0 -
UUs yesterday morning - Tigi shampoo and conditioner, for curly hair (cant remember the type now - black bottle with green writing iirc) WIBA? possibly, it was ok. Not as nice as the bed head that Im on now (which incidentally is the last of my shampoos and conditioners :j) but it was ok. Only if I can get it half price from cheapsmells or the like though.
Sachet of teatree face mask that I bought the other day in Boots - WIBA, yes, I would - was nice. got a strawberry one as well, hopefully i can eke that out for two goes as well !!
Sachet of fruity hair deep conditioning treatment (again from Boots) - WIBA? yes,made my hair lovely and soft - kept running my fingers through it on the way to Cheltenham yesterday, right beggered up the style !! :rotfl:Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
UU's molton brown shower gel WIBA only if the price is right, I don't think it's anything special for the money.
UU TBS rainforest shampoo WBA love it! Onto Aveda shampure which I need to declare as an IN. Bought this to try to see how the scalp reacts.
In Aldi Lacura serum bought to try from recommendations on here.
I have made a BS order but only for Xmas presses! I also gave my Avon book back with no order! I feel very proud! Lol0 -
Another UU Johnsona body care hand cream. WBA, rubs in well and smells lovelyDebt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
*issed off as no stores have any of the Clarins freebie from woman and home even tho it is supposed to be available till the 30th nov:mad::mad::mad:...bought mag just to get it as well as the mag with a £20 monsoon card that forgot to say till inside you ahd to spend £80 to use it and there was nothing I fancied instore:mad:

Have seriously got to catch up this month as have only just read page 1 of 5 :eek:
Did have some UUs from last month but as it's been so long can't remember what they were.
Have been naughty this month though as did succumb to the Boots Champneys offer so will be picking that up next week. Did tell myself it was my treat for being so good for so long and it will probably be the last time I buy anything unnecessary as 1) baby is due in 3 months time and 2) hubby and I now just use our joint account so can't do anymore sneeky buying
Hope everyone else is doing better :jDid owe £9,951.96
Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j

UU Garnier make up remover WBA good for the money.
UU boots musk body spray WBA I do love a bit of musk!0 -
1 UU this week : 250ml bottle of Ojon shampoo. WNBA. Have another in my stash to use up but after that's gone won't repurchase. Don't like the smell of it.
I have put a half full pot of Ojon Restorative Treatment on the FB page if anyone fancies swapping it for something to try. I'm after some body scrub if anyone wants to swap.
Have showered today using my new Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea fragrance and have painted my toes and fingers. On toes am wearing Essie Lovie Dovie and on fingers OPI Meep Meep Meep.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
