No buying unnecessary toiletries in October

Fiasco55

I have an unplanned Out. I had taken into work my Autograph minerals eye shadow and accidently left it there on Friday. Went back in yesterday to find that it has been thrown out in the clear up on Saturday. Really gutted as I loved the colour and it has been discontinued. I have had to go back to using the pallet eye shadows and I have to say I don't like how they are going on my lids. I do use a primer and blending brushes etc but it doesn't compare to the mineral eye shadow. Think I have been converted. Shame I don't have any more in my stash to use only the block ones. I will be treating myself to a new mineral eye shadow shortly.

So grand total for this month.....10 UUs and only 2 INs which were free with bzzagent. This ends my third full month of not buying any unnecessary toiletries. I can't believe I have made it into the fourth month - long may it continue.

Boots No 7 wheatsheaf eyeshadow - this is a great base colour - have got a travel size to UU next of the same shade. Then, before buying more I must make a dent in the eye shadow stash in the cupboard. However, this is a shade I would buy again as it is perfect...

Managed to end the month on a minus - 10 INs and 17 OUTs so a reduction of 7 items - slowly but surely I will conquer this stash of mine!

Hi kiplingmonkey what do you think of today's TSV? Know I'm gonna end up watching QVC today as I'm around the house all day. Must stay strong. Have real necessities to buy this month in the shape of cleansers and moisturisers. lol.

I have an eyeshadow similar to wheatsheaf - shell by Bobbi Brown. I bought it in the US quite some time ago and still has loads left. At the time I thought I was buying Bone but I like shell better as it's more pinky.

Just had a bath and uu a travel size S&G Flake away - wnba, have a small mountain of S&G to wade through.

Think I need to redo my stash list as I haven't been updating it as much as I should have been.

Now I come to think about it I think I have graduated in S&G products in that I haven't any in my stash. The last collection that I bought was the Boots OOTW from the year before last - anyone remember the big box that came in a tote bag? The only S&G product that I regularly purchase is the Sugar Scrub. It's not that I've gone off S&G just that TBS tend to have more offers on and more choice of fragrance.

Have another UU to declare and I'm sure this will be the last. Elemis SOS Emergency Cream. WBA. I love this product. Not sure when I will repurchase though as I need to buy Elemis cleanser and shaving gel and LE C&P, IBST and Skin Repair moisturiser in November.

Well today was payday and so, for my 15 UUs, I have transferred £30 in to my new toiletries slush fund account.

I am already thinking the £30 may go towards a new pair of glasses so I can then cancel my contact lens subscription and save myself a few more pennies each month whilst I use up the stash of contact lenses I've built.

Am I hoarder? I think I may have crossed the line from stashing to hoarding!

Thanks VALM. Only a couple of bday INs so far, L'Occitane cherry blossom perfume and shower gel mmmm. Lol is it wrong to be disappointed my stash hasn't reappeared with bday INs:)

1 UU to report -
Avon refreshing face moisturiser - WBA really nice smell and went in really nicely. The price is also really good.

However I'm still on a mission to find a moisturiser that suits my skin - seams to be impossible!!

Rounding up my stash list at the end of the month

Another UU:
Small tub of S&G Righteous butter - have another in the stash anyway but this took a while to use up. Like man here I've gone off most S&G but this is ok.

A few INs. I was naughty in L'Occitane (AGAIN) yesterday, had a 20% off voucher and my Mum with me so I caved . Bought:
L'Occitane Lavender gift basket - hand cream, shower gel & hand lotion.
And got a freebie sachet of their Fleurs Merveilleuses eau de toilette.


October has been a good month for me (despite my only wobble of the month in L'occitane yesterday!), a total of 14 UUs! November looks like it might be a quiet month though as I don't have any splutterers and several products I've just opened.

On a different note, I'm also very chuffed that this month has broken my record for extra money made - £75 pounds from selling things on Ebay, writing articles etc. Going to try for a new record next month!


Happy Halloween all and see you in November

It's been a slow month for me this month but September was good and now I'm using full size so I'm not expecting to much in the future either. On the plus side I have now had 2 no buying months and am planning on November being one too.

See you all in November !
