No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2013

No. 7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser - Good value, especially with a voucher, as lasts months and leaves my face feeling really clean without any tightness - great at melting makeup off. Also love LE C&P - just makes my skin feel so nice.
I love this too! I use face washes when I'm having a shower and this is my favourite.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2023

just googled a piece of music the choir is doing at weekend(shepherd me o God).....somewhat surprised at one of the utube clips involving a german shepherd dog and a pig:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
my sister is coming this week and bringing her entire collection of Clarins for us to look through and decide what she should actually be using.......could take a while as she is worse than me at GWP time:rotfl:0 -
Had a nasty surprise last night, clearing a large built-in cupboard ready for house works later this week and found a few vanity cases/wash bags which I thought were empty... wrong! :eek:
Cue 10 TAs of various dregs of shampoos and conditioners - why on earth didn't I just UU at the time?! A few unopened mini facial items which I will use (if they've not gone off - they've not been touched since I moved house over 5 years ago...), so my stash has "grown" but at least now I know that that is definitely all of it accounted for - no other stone left unturned!
On the topic of HGs, I have very few as I have tended to try lots of different products, and my focus now is on working through my hoard to see what could possibly be HG items.
Skincare - used to always be Clinique 3 step, though I have enjoyed trying new products recently. Still a big fan of the various cleansers - liquid soap, the bars and the foaming cleanser, and I like the clarifying lotion but it can be a bit too harsh in winter. The moisturisers tend to be a little heavy so I stick to the gel. I love the Sanctuary products for a cheaper regime.
Night cream - I'm a convert to PCMC - amazing stuff!
Body scrub - got to be either Sanctuary for daily use, or S&G Breakfast Scrub or Sugar Crush for somethng a bit scrubbier.
Body butter - anything by Sanctuary or S&G - faves are Mande Lular, Righteous Butter, Righteous Butter Lotion and Smoothie Star (yum!)
Shampoo/conditioner - love Ojon for a treat every so often, but no real HG as I like to keep changing these after each full size is UU - I never use the same back to back. John Frieda Liquid Shine is nice for a cheaper alternative.MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -

Got the month started with four IN and three UU:
In were all from Boots - Everpure Colour Care & Moisture Shampoo - HG and on offer third off. Botanics All Bright Cleansing Cream - needed and also on offer. Umberto Gianni Frizzi Sillicone Serum - was looking for a cheaper dupe for my beloved Percy & Reed No Oil Oil but unfortunately early indications aren't good as its just too heavy for my hair, probably a false economy trying to hunt out cheaper products if they just don't work the same, maybe a lesson learnt! UG products were two for £8 so also got Backcomb in a Bottle which I quite like for helping to achieve big going out hair.
UU are No. 7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser - WBA - HG but will be using Balance Me Face Wash first which I also love. Also used up were Elemis Illumating Flash Balm - again HG and two more in the stash and finally S & G Butter Up that I've been using for absolutely ages on my desk at work as hand cream, did a fine job too.
Have a Percy & Reed hair oil on its way from Ebaybut other than that I don't envisage many more IN for the month and I've also got a few splutterers so determined Aug should be a successful month challenge wise :T

Have just added up all my INS and all my OUTS since starting the challenge in April. So far sitting on 54 INS and 43 OUTs *tuts*. I have a Glossy on the way, which will give me probably 6 more INS, so I figure I need to UU 17 items this month to catch up! Time to get pampering me thinks.0
-
UU - Body Shop Dewberry Bath and Shower Gel - I think this may have been discontinued? If not I WMBA. The smell is okay but not one of my favourites.0

I am back in for this month (a little late) but I am just back from a week away.
So some IN's from my birthday.
Benefit Porefessional
Nails Inc Polish x 4
OT - but did get a couple of Lulu Guinness handbags too which I :heart2:
Other Ins's
Andrew Collienge Full Blown Body (to replace a UU)
Balance Me Body Wash
Balance Me Facial Wash
Nip + Fab Leg Smoother
St Moriz Instant Leg instant Mist
St Moriz Bronzing Mist x 2 (to replace UU)
UU's
Andrew Collienge Full Blown Body - Good for the price
Tigi Bedhead Hard to Get Paste - HG
St Moriz Bronzing Mist - HG
Clinique Gentle Light Powder -HG but it's been discontinued..sob
I have had a bit of a run on UU's - best for a few months. I also have a few splutterers too.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380
