No Buying Unneccesary Toiletries in June 2013

Welcome Oxfordowl.

I have a uu

Molton Brown Ultrasmooth Coco de Mer body lotion - 50ml - WBA, I adore this. Moving straight onto the full size bottle now.

Decluttered the last dregs of a huge 300g Tresemme Hairspray. It used to be my HG and at one time I would never have left the house without a squirt of hairspray.

Then somehow I gave it up and started going au natural, so I ended up with a huge can with very little in it that was just taking up space on the dressing table. I had been using it occasionally just for the sake of it and also have two other handbag size ones in the stash, so it had to go. :eek:

I'll keep the little ones for high days and holidays.

Thank you for the welcome! :j
I'm currently unpacking and making a stash list as I go along - it's not as huge as it could be, but it's still too big for one little student!
I'm not sure if I should track make-up or not, as I don't want to be using it up, but I really shouldn't buy more. Any advice?

Welcome - love the name btw

I think people on here do different things - I know some people don't include nail polish. I personally don't include nail polish or make up as I don't want to use them up either. Doesn't help me with not buying anymore though unfortunately

Re Oxford Owl's Q on make up.
I don't wear a lot of make up so I have never listed it, but I am aware that I do now have enough lipsticks which is what I do wear.
I think just being aware of what I have helps.
It's the same for other things. I have enough shopping bags now, so I can stop buying those, also enough mugs.
For others, posting here then striking make up items off lists is very satisfying. To each their own.

Welcome Oxford Owl :wave:

UU:

41. Dove Triple Moisturising Beauty Cream Body Wash 55ml - WNBA, as with other Dove products it smells soapy IMO and also found it hard to lather.

Just wanted to say hello to Oxford Owl, I started my earlier post and got interrupted so didn't see you post when I finished it a few hours later.

My Avon is 5 days overdue now, I know she is probably very busy, but I was looking forward to looking out some bits for DD's birthday from the new brochure.
Avon Girl usually collects the brochure a day later, when she is this late.
I wish she would deliver earlier so I could have more time to peruse.... Oh well.

The brochure is available online if you want to have a nose ahead of actually getting the book. http://www.avon.uk.com/PRSuite/eBrochure.page?index=1&cmpgnYrNr=201311

i track it as a reminder what I actually have at home if i'm tempted. my stash is prob bigger than most peoples, although still nowhere near most of the "stash" videos doing the rounds on the internet! I'm still clearing the dregs of my bad stash days but i think i have now got to a stage where a lot of what i have is edited, researched or tried prior to buying and i really do want it there and it holds its own valid place. most of it if it ran out i would re buy.

it also helps me to think of just what it is joining and if i will realistically use it as well as what i already have. the main thing is if i already have one colour eyeshadow, i really don't need two!

As for me Oxford Owl, I have listed my make up - I wear it every week day for work - but I've got so much it'll take me years to get through it! But there are only so many brown eyeliners you need! Which I have too many of for some reason :rotfl:

1 UU for me

Elie Saab Perfume
This was just a little sample spray but WBA - I found this quite light and Summery.

A couple of UU Right Guard xtreme invisible and a can of Batiste dry shampoo. Just seen the BS lipglodd offer in the Moneysaving email preview...might have to get me one of those:money:
