Count me in again please
In
Lavanila The Healthy Sunscreen SPF 30
Feels minty, contains zinc oxide for sun protection. Love this stuff!
Korres Lip Butter Glaze in Quince
Glossy lip balm, gives a nice wash of red and very comfortable to wear. Doesn't last long though.
Used Up
Juice Beauty Green Apple Body Moisturizer SPF 20
Smells nice & absorbs fast but SPF 20 is a bit too low, probably won't repurchase after this.0 -
I was selected to try Clinique under eye cream, just got the little pot so my craving for today has been satisfied by a freebie! Went shopping in Aldi (for food) and my friend bought a serum but I resisted it!Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).0

Come to the conclusion that I won't have to buy any showergel for the next 5 years :eek:
Same goes for body butter, at least I'll be clean and moistured!
Starting to work out what my holiday toleletries are going to be, I'm so tempted to go out and buy loads of minis but I know I already have some stashed away.
Just one IN to report:
Balance Me Eye Cream, I get Glamour on subscription and only have one eye cream in use and another eye gel so will use this at some point.0 -

gosh - ocean

pixi - brown polish

clinique mascara mini - I think I'm left with 5 in my stash now lol
UU's
alterna caviar anti-aging rapid repair spray - WBA. I have another bottle in the stash, this makes my hair smell so wonderful and it really softens my hair. It's not as heavy as a serum, but just as moisturising.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Challenge

Hi All
I have been lurking for a little while now but more so recently as I've lost my job. To be honest I have mainly been using the thread of ideas of things to buy (which goes right against the whole idea of it!):o I guess I have been buying things (mainly L'Occitane) to cheer myself up a little but it could easily get out of hand so I decided to make a list of all my stuff. I didn't think I had much but it seems like more when you write it all down! :eek: Though there are quite a few samples/travel size products (I like trying new things so samples and travel size products are great to stop me getting bored!)
Anyway here's my list - looks a bit odd as I did it in Excel! I have made up some abbreviations which mean; IU = In Use, ONIU = Open not in use (mainly not using due to boredom or not liking the product but shall aim to try and use them up), CRUO = Couldn't resist using once (not in use but to tempted to try it out before putting away in the drawer), and U = Unopened.

My main plan is just not too buy too much and to try and use some of the things up I had forgotten I had tucked away. I certainly don't need any shower gel, body moisturiser or hand cream!!0 -
