No Buying Unnecessary toiletries in June

Connie

Willowbee -
The Dry Skin Itch Relief cream doesn't seem to be on Superdrug's webiste, which is surprising, as it's their own brand.
Definitely in the shops, though - I bought some last week.

UU

Ojon Instant Restorative Hair Serum, 25ml - WNBA, not as good as the Berber or Argan Oil!

IN'S

Santaverde Aloe Vera Cleansing Gel, 100ml
John Masters Anti Aging Serum, 2ml
Irosie Ultimate BB Cream, 1ml
Jemma Kidd I Glamour Volume Mascara
Ciate Paint Pot, Purple Sherbet, 13.5ml
Loreal Everpure Shampoo, 10ml
Loreal Everpure Conditioner, 10ml

One more OUT - Smashbox halo powder - given away as the colour of the new formula doesn't suit me.

Unfortunately going to the PO to post the Halo led to an IN - my PO is in a newsagents and they had a Glamour with a Benefit That Gal on the shelf - decided to buy another as I have started using my first sample and am really liking it so thought £2 was a good buy.

I had a (major) fall off the wagon again, I went in M&S and the older range of make up was reduced by 2/3rds!

Duo colour eyeshadow in chiffon/silk - lovely pale highlight colour and a darker mauve (was £6 now £2)
Satin finish powder blusher in natural (was £9.50 now £3)
Bronzing powder in Sun gold (was £12 now £4)
Powder blush and blend duo in coral (was £6 now £2)
Powder blush and blend duo in rose (was £6 now £2)
Illuminating perfect eye primer (was £7.50 now £2)
Longstay liquid eyeliner in brown (was £7.50 now £2)
Perfection super gloss lipstick in cranberry (was £7.50 now £2)
Perfection super gloss lipstick in valentine (was £7.50 now £2)

Nearly £70 worth for £21 odd, firmly on the naughty step though! Might gift some to my mum

Finally another UU to declare!

Impulse True Love body spray. Two more partially full ones in the stash to work my way through still.

Hello everyone!

I've been quite quiet recently. I've had a few UUs and a few ins, but I have stopped counting really. I think my toiletry shopping has come under control. The only things I still have a stash of are hand creams, a couple of shower gels and body lotions. I only have one in use and one back up of face wash, cleanse and polish, toner, moisturiser, eye cream, shampoo, conditioner, primer, exfoliator, body scrub and foot cream. I think I've done not bad...and this thread has helped me so much! I don't feel the need to keep an accurate count now, because I only have a few more things to use up. I will allow myself a bargain when I see it, but I seem to have kicked the habit of over-buying and never using!!

Now I need a thread for shoes......

I have decided on what next months treat is going to be for reducing the stash. I'm going to get some more green balm. I'm loving my tiny pot and its going down quickly. Its a fantastic product for all sorts of skin problems and irritations so this definitely going to be a must have product for me.

Currently number of outs is greater than ins, but by volume of product the ins are greater as the UU's have mainly been mini items and most of the outs have been mini sizes. Hopefully i'll manage to get more UU so I can get my reward

Well done congratulations, I still have quite a bit to use up, and still getting urges to buy stuff, but am getting better.

A near miss today, body shop have loads of items half price. Had a little poke around in store on my lunch break and though I was sorely tempted I came away with nothing. :A Phew, maybe this is working!

The dread of having to add it to my stash list and record how much I've spent is overwhelming the desire to purchase. I did so badly in my first month I'm trying to be ruthless. Ive run out of items I usually have but aren't strictly necessary, but am finding other ways to make do instead of repurchasing (eg. Hard scrub with a shower puff instead of body scrub, leaving in conditioner for a few minutes instead of hair mask).

I did purchase a case of my favourite real ale on the way home so maybe I should focus on that next:rotfl:

I know a lot of us are into trying bb creams, for those interested have you seen this.
