No buying unecessray toiletries in July
Comments
-
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 xBack 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!0 -
A couple more UU for me Timoti golden highlights shampoo and lush blueberry face maskDebt 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
