No buying unnecessary toiletries in October

Two uu's

James Brown intensive moisture mask and Body Shop daily moisturiser spf 30. Both fine, going to try and use my sunscreen as moisturiser for a bit in an effort to use it up.

Hope everyone is well and to those who have a showergel addiction ...i have 6 bottles of the stuff but guess what .....no shower :rotfl:oh well its a good job it works as bubble bath just the same!

I've got the opposite problem - loads of bubble bath but no bath lol! I do also have lots of shower gel (and a shower!) too.

Two UU's-
Omorovicza Deep Cleansing Mask sample - WIBA? No, I didn't think it did much for my skin and then I found out it costs £57 a tub!!!

Elemis Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream - WIBA? Maybe, wake up a little greasy when using it and I'm not sure it solved my dry patches very well.

Ok, deep breath. I'm going to join in on this challenge.

I've been trying to do this unofficially for several months, but I think I need to be named and shamed.

Last year in the Boxing Day Sales I bought an *awful* lot of body products. I spent a total of around £120 for enough bath products to last me, what I thought would be, a year.

We're moving house in two months and I have just packed a box of toiletries that I know I'm not even going to get to before we move (several shower gels/bath bubbles open in bathroom but I've tried to finish one thing before opening another). The box includes 7 full size bottles of shower gel, 5 FS body butters, 2 FS body lotions, 4 bottles of lens solution (lenses are being cancelled as soon as I get the next batch through) 2 bottles of insect repellant (?!) a bottle of sunscreen I don't think I've even opened.... never mind on all the miniatures of body wash/bubbles/lotion.

I've scaled right back on the makeup and now have basics I maintain whilst trying to use up all the 'extras' but I still spent £30 in bodyshop and god knows how much in Boots last month!

I really don't think there's any hope for me. One day I will be found dead in the house, surrounded by nothing but a million bottles of body wash...

Welcome rogueylawyer. Good luck with the challenge.

Evilsquid I am thinking I might be in a similar position with my eyeliners. Now need to go through them to see. Mines were all bought before I started on the challenge. I have just hit the 2 year mark on joining.

At last...............a UU (well a UU and GA)

UU first - Aussie hair spray - can't remember the name but it was supposed to add shine - all it did was make it sticky so WNBA.

GA - Sanctuary 24hr moisturiser - made my skin itch so gifted it to a buddy who is sanctuary mad!

I don't think this buying no toiletries is doing my bank balance any good..........in an effort not to mooch through Mr B's or SD at the weekend I went looking at cars instead and ended up treating myself to a new motor:eek::eek::eek:

Think a bottle of bubbles and a new mascara might have been a bit cheaper :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I pick it up next Saturday which will keep me out of the shops again ..........can't wait :D

hello Rogueylawyer!


i have a dilemma, some of my eyeliners are so old, despite daily sharpening, its an actual battle to get them to even draw a line on my eyelid, and i mean a pulling/digging in kind of battle. part of me is saying if they are this bad, they are dried up beyond use, nothing will work and i should just bin them as i find them like this and move on. but the :money: part of me is saying i bought them, i left them and i should bl**dy well put up with them and let it be a lesson to me next time not to over buy what will clearly go off. what would you all do?

Bin them if they are that bad.

Can't remember who was having a problem with mascara but my thoughts on the subject of avoiding them drying out quickly is not to pump the wand in and out as each time you do air is pushed in and dries up the product. Open and apply to one eye then put the wand back in once only then do the other eye.

Aw Pickle what a nightmare! I had an incident once that involved a broken bottle of Greek wine in my suitcase after a flight. Luckily it was white wine so came out but my suitcase had to be chucked

I've got to ask how people manage to build up so many shower gels - I get through mine so quickly!

The eyeliner conversation is interesting - how do you know when to chuck them? I find one or two of mine don't leave a proper line but if I sharpen them they're ok again.

And does anybody actually use lipliners? I have 2 in my stash from my mid-teens (when I used to buy any random makeup I could get hold of regardless of it's usefulness). I don't use them and can't think of a time when I would. Are they worth keeping?
