    OK my final totals for July:-

    3 INS - am only counting the substantial and unnecessary ones which are the 3 full sized body butters from TBS. Now have a stash of 3 of them to work through but it was a great offer from Cheshire Oaks. The other INs I had were all necessary replacements and freebie sachets in the form of bath lilies (one each for me and Emma) and cotton wool pads and sachetwise (all L'Occitane) 2 x moisturiser, shampoo and conditioner and 1 x body cream.

    11 UUs and only 1 of those needs to be replaced at this time which is the Soap & Glory Sugar Scrub. I've decided I will buy one to take away with me as I don't have a baggage allowance and need to get out of the travel size mentality for this holiday plus I have enough AP for a tub so will be "free".

    My routine is:-

    AM & PM:-
    Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser
    LE Instant Boost Skin Tonic

    AM moisturiser: LE Skin Repair Normal/Combination

    PM: TBS Naturalift serum
    Elemis Pro collagen Oxygenating Night Cream

    I am naughty and keep forgetting to apply eye cream as I'm used to my PCMC doing the job for me. Will be switching back to PCMC when the LE is used up or on holiday if sooner. Will be switching to LE for a night cream once the Elemis is used up (have no spare moisturisers in stash at the mo).

    I exfoliate with Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator most days and use Decleor Herbal Clay mask at weekends.

    Happy Wednesday every one. Half way through the week already. Yay x
    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!

    So…I have had a few UUs and a few ins this month – I need to keep working on reducing my minis and samples. I put £1 in my jar for each UU, 20p for sachets and £10 for each no spend week.

    So this months total is £36.60 for my UUs plus 2 x £10 for no spend weeks = £53.60 towards my teeth whitening fund!

    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 sales
