No buying unnecessary toiletries in May - Challenge
Comments
-
Oooooooooo which one are you after? I have the 'Mitzy' tote already but I've been eyeing up the 'Daria' shoulder bag recently!! :eek:
I think I want something classic so I'm thinking either a plain Bayswater or I quite like the Effie, Evelina and Daria Hobos.
In fact, the more I look at the Evelina Hobo the more I like it, the logo is less 'garish'.0 -
hiya
can i join in too?
ive been a lurker for ages but realise that i really have to start using up some of my "stash" .. I started to dread opening my cupoard for something and thinking omg too much stuff then a friend seeing my stash and exclaiming OMG lol
im determined to stop buying....i REALLY dont need any more toiletries ..
I will however buy 2 things, my hair dye and my Clinique moisture surge.....my hg moisturiser.

I am in again please, big thank you to Hollylangman37 for last month and to Itzbitzy for the new thread. I have to confess to falling off the wagon and ordering Elemis 3 piece Night Indulgence Collection, but it is advanced orders for w/c 28th May, so will not sit on the naughty step until it arrives, in defence, I have just finished my Elemis Night Cream and the Simple one I have feels too heavy now, I am intending being good and allocating the other two items for best ff birthday in mid July.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

Ive been in every month since I joined in October, but I dont post much, however, just being in doesnt seem to have helped as much as I would have liked, I still have far too much stuff, and am buying things when I really shouldnt.
So... Im going to see if posting as well as reading will help with NO Purchases for a least a month, heres hoping....
Otherwise I may be on the naughty step, and no cakes as Im also dieting...

Thanks Itzybitzy for the new thread - I'm in again for May - am definately using some of my older items from my stash so this thread is having a positive effect.
Have had a count up and hope to UU 16 items this month based on splutterers etc. Will have my INs from my CEW box plus my Amarya box but will try to keep other purchases to a minimum, although there is an Emma Hardie TSV in May. Even if I am good on the purchasing front, I may have more INs than usual as it is my birthday in May so will hopefully get some nice goodies. I have the Urban Decay Naked palette plus some Clarins eau de jardin perfume on my birthday wish list so we will see if I am lucky!.
Have a good month everyone..0
