No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2013

Can I just drop a bombshell?






















Thanks :rotfl:

No seriously, I am honestly considering breaking the tradition of many years and NOT going to the Boots boxing day sale this year, or indeed in the following days. I may relent once it's down to 75% off but I am finding the new stuff pretty unexciting and would like to challenge myself to not buy anything make-up or toiletry related. Anyone with me on this?

I will, after the Points Event at Boots at the end of next month!

I usually look at the food gifts but even those just look a bit half hearted this year! the beauty ones i wouldnt even give them half price for.

everything I've seen so far from all the shops has just been a bit "meh". the only ones that I'm even vaguely considering are the elemis sets and i might have a look at the laura mercier sets when they go to half price on boxing day but i wont pay full price for any of them.

im planning on saving my money and taking it round the christmas markets so i might at least get something unique! if not, at least i know ill enjoy a giant bratwurst and mulled wine! :rotfl:

I'll join you, easy for me though as I have never bought anything from the sale, for me Boxing Day is about family time not sale shopping.

Have been to Boots today for a new hairbrush as my big round one is on it's last legs and I am pleased to say that was all I came out with. Had a look at the Christmas sets and they seem the same as every other year pretty much, would be happy to receive one but won't buy for myself.

So far I'm not enthused, but I am considering a £1 per uu cash stash and spending that: I don't think I'll be buying lots this year. Unless they are holding items back.

Wrote a blog post yesterday with pictures of all my recent empties including the shower gels I ended up using as handwash.

Emma has been blogging her empties as well. You should PM me a link to your blog.
