No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2013

Righto - totals for the month:

7 INS (4 from Glossy)
11 OUTS

Glad to have had more outs than ins this month, but I still overall have 10 more ins than outs. Off on my holidays next week though, and have packed a few little bottles of things, so hope that will help me get on top of things. I also have a few things getting low, which I should be able to use up by the end of the month.

ma-ri-ella

Last few use ups of the month
Jo hansford expert colour care intensive masque - not sure if WBA as trying to go for more natural products, I really liked the smell though
A random lush soap and a bath bomb -wnba not planing on buying from lush again. The coupon thing has really annoyed me and tbh I like bomb cosmetics just as much
A small bottle of Lacoste touch of pink , ditto to being more natural I will need to check what the company's like

Evening, can't believe it's the end of another month.

I have been camping in Wales for a few days this week so took the opportunity to use some sachets up.

UUs
2 shampoo sachets
4 conditioner sachets brands unsure of and I mixed 2 together as my hair needs more conditioner than in in 1 sachet
Lush ginger bread bubble bar WMBA lush moved this to their retro section last Christmas with a price to match so would only buy again if it was reasonably priced. Still have one left
Elemis soothing apricot facial wipe WNBA it was sachet,very handy for camping and nice enough but I have lots of things to use up
2 elemis lavender facial wipes WMBA as above, but did prefer this one to the apricot one, still have 1 left
Yves rocher rich cream intense regenerating care sachet WNBA too thick really for my skin type but it was nice too use
Hand wash cheap honey and milk one from Aldi ( I think ) WNBA far too artificial scent for me, replaced with the only other in stash, not that I use liquid hand soap very often as I prefer soap but very useful for guests.
2 lacura travel wipes WBA very useful

Now for the not so good.
The free gift from yves rocher turned up
1 tiny nail varnish
1 tiny tube of foundation
1 tiny mascara which will be given away eventually


Future primative order
2 soaps
2 soap samples
1 sugar buff
1 body whip
2 perfume oils

Other
2 bath bombs
4 shampoo bar samples ( which my scalp hates) but they are very useful for washing things with and getting coconut oil out of my hair.

Magazine buy
Clinique repair lazer focus
Clarins double serum sachet
2 sachets of eucerin
Perfume sample

Not a great month, still bough a lot ( quite a few sample sized products) which will be easy to use up. I do seem to get through a lot more than most on this board but also have alot more INS than most. I can definitely see a difference in how much stuff I have got through, I have cleared 3 boxes and moved them into my 12 draws of stuff. I still seem to have plenty including 12 draws, a basket, a big plastic crate under the bed, 2 other boxes ( face moisturer box and shower gels). A cupboard with all hair things in on a shelf and in a box( I need to empty the cupboard but its full of stuff) quite big, walk in size and its my dumping ground. I think there will be quite a few items still to discover. Plus the contents of the bathroom.

I am going to have a no buy month (apart from glossy and birch box). I am also going to do a project pan ( American thing where you put together what you want to use up). I will list this once I get chance to put what I want to use up and it's far easier to do this than list everything that's in my house.

I don't know if anyone remembers me, but I'm back.

I fell off the wagon in May, lots of things have happened, and I stopped keeping track of my list. I'm currently in the process of making a new list, I'm up to 260 and I haven't even started on the makeup....

Welcome back roguey! I was wondering where you had disappeared to How have you been since May? xx

Hello lovely! Since May hmm let's see...new job, new commute to a new city (and country), have given up the weekend job but replaced it with my own online jewellery store, and bought an *awful* lot of products whilst using up very few of the stash items.

It's been a bit of a hellish couple of weeks with some personal/family issues, and I was about to hit 'purchase' for £50 of l'occitane (with lots of freebies) and £60 of neon (with 15% off) when I decided to stock take instead.

8 hours later I'm still going :rotfl:

How are you my lovely?

1 ebay out

UU

hair dye light auburn x 2 - hg
clairol conditioner 10ml x 2
razor
sanctuary body lotion 75ml - like it, but have no need to buy body lotion for a long time!

bs white musk libertine spray - needed to use up a voucher, so ended up being 1.75
9 ins from mixed lot - hasn't arrived yet.

Overall I'm happy this month, spent £19.25, which is a lot less than most months. I've had 40 out, and 12 in so happy
