No buying unnecessary toiletries in October

London_baby

One UU: Superdrug 24hr anti-perspirant. WIBA? No, it smells nice but leaves white powdery marks under my arms. It was only 99p so Ill just use it for a quick spray after my gym sessions.

Ins: Took advantage of the SpaceNK sale. Bought one of the bath powders which I'm yet to try (need to have the time to soak in the bath) and the Tuberoli perfume, which has been stored away for future yes but I like the sweet smell.

Evening all

I am in again for October, thanks for the new thread kiplingmonkey!

I had my first ever absolutely no spend on toiletries month last month, I didn't even buy face wipes or toner or the few other things which I don't count in the challenge because I don't have a stash of them. It won't last because I have put an order in on Salonskincare for a few bits so I have ins coming my way!

October doesn't look great for UU because I don't have any tubes cut open but I will have to persevere with all the huge bottles I have on the go.

One tiny UU last night, Nivea Pure Naturals night cream sachets, I finished my first batch of 3 sachets and have another one in the stash still. This was OK actually and I saw it in SD for £3 so perhaps I would buy it!

Hi, I'm in -again.

Thanks again, Kiplingmonkey.
IN: Day moisturiser by Aldi. I have to put something on my face before foundation because my skin is prone to ezcema. I did not have any moisturisers in my stash.

Are things like deodorants and the cream above considered "unnecessary"?

Thanks for kicking us off again this month kiplingmonkey. I am back in. I have now went two months without any bought Ins. I want to continue for this month but I will need to purchase some facial wipes (now on last pack).

I've had an offer accepted on a little house so I'm going for a spend free month.

My Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24Hr SPF15 Foundation ran out rather suddenly on Wednesday so I had to buy a new bottle of that but I used Boots points so that was pretty MSE!

Lovely news on the house moromir.


Happy Birthday bunnykins and Indiepanda :bdaycake:

The Q never put all full sizes of the essentials in though. if they did I would probably buy. I love her essentials and like some of the body care items but the treatments are all horrible as they smell of camphor.

Was impressed by an Elemis mask I tried earlier though - the lavender one.

I am using this just now too VALM and I am really liking it.

Tokkiandoliver - I don't count treatments as INs - it is just a lovely treat.

Hello. Does anyone remember me? I stopped doing this challenge for a while due to being pregnant and just generally not being well enough to carry on with it. I'm still pregnant (30 weeks. Eeek!) and still not well with the M.E but thought I would give it a go again. Will try and see if I can find my list! :eek: I have loads of things to add to it due to various comp wins!

Welcome back! Well done on the comp wins, and enjoy all the pampering you can fit in before the little one arrives. Lovely to see you again.

I'm in for October!

A few INs and UUs from the end of September to record.

INs:
Decleor youth cleansing milk & lotion (freebie)
Ojon restorative hair treatment sachet (freebie)
YSL Manifesto perfume sample (freebie)
Impulse Into Glamour bodyspray
Barry M Limited Edition silver lip gloss
Jean Paul Gaultier Classique perfume sample (freebie)

UUs:

Guerlain Le Petite Robe Noir perfume sample (freebie) - Quite possibly the nicest perfume I've smelt for ages. Will definitely buy (or ask for xmas)
Palmer’s Cocoa butter massage lotion for stretch marks - Did nothing, wouldn't buy again.

My stash list is currently resting at 252. I have a few splutterers I think I'll get through before the end of the month.

Hi, Just having a read around the forum and like the look of this don't buy any more lark
So I can join in though, can anyone explain quickly the full idea and what things such as UU mean please? or point me in the direction of the rules? I'm struggling a bit navigating if I'm honest but I'm sure it will get easier the more time I spend on here
