No buying unnecessary toiletries in October

 MOA Green Balm, Small Tub
 Have you had this before? I bought some a few months ago because so many people raved about it but have been really disappointed with it and WNBA. Having said that, I have yet to find anything that will help when my extremely dry patches break out on my face.3 stone down, 3 more to go0

            Another UU. VO5 Give me Moisture shampoo. HG product. Already have one in stash. 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!

 I have not tried Green Balm, but my fall back for dry or irritated patches/excema breakouts on face is A'Kin Rosehip Oil, you can sometimes find it cheaply on *bay, it gets good ratings in the "Beauty Bible" books too. At times of skin stress (illness, biting cold winds) I use it in place of night cream. I always make sure I have one bottle around -, I really count it as first aid rather than toiletriesThe best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0

            Two more use ups
 200ml Gatineau Rose Toner. MBA but not quite as HG as IBST. Just travel size of IBST to transfer to spritzer bottle and a travel size (in a travel set) of an Elemis left now.
 Coty Emeraude perfume, not available any more, and would consider it a bit heavy for me these days.
 No more in's (just the two already declared). October will have been a good month for me (not counting the gazillion nail polishes I bought in Sept and Oct:rotfl:) Nails naked atm, having a few days of intensive care, time for an eye watering colour on toe nails to compensate I think!The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

 Yes, welcome aboard:)
 Lots of ladies have done stash lists, and cross off items as they are used. I haven't, but I do keep a word document running, month by month listing use ups, throw aways (gone off, or just plain doesn't suit anymore, gifts etc) and list the in's. I have tidied everything, so things are not scattered around the house and this helps me target the next things to use, and helps divert me when I think I "need" to buy something new.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
