Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
Stumbled upon this "No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries" thread a month or so ago while searching online for declutter tips and support.
I guess it's as good time as any to participate. Never mind the papers, books, clothes and other junk I have to contend with ... at least I can focus on my hundreds (yes, hundreds) of partly used or not at all yet used toiletries.
I've immediately gathered up .... 111 things .... to use up, ditch or give away by month's end. There's lots more hidden away but this monster pile of stuff should keep me busy in November.
Doable, no?
-incognita0 -
Welcome incognita - yes you can do it! There are often lots of useful tips on here for repurposing various toiletries which can be helpful.
Has been quiet on the thread today, I should be doing work for my course but instead have slept and procrastinated the day away again.
2 UUs for me:
176 - TBS Rainforest Moisture Shampoo 60ml
177 - TBS Cocoa Butter Creamy Body Wash 250ml
Probably WNBA for either of these. They were both ok but there are other products I much prefer. 2 off my project pan list!0 -
Welcome incognita :hello:
Wow very quiet on the thread today!
I have 3 (free) INs today thanks to the postman:

3. Gucci Premiere EDP 2mlMFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -
My project pan list for October was;
1) Lily of the valley body cream - love the smell but not rich enough
2) Vitamin E instensive moisturiser - ditto above
3) Various body sprays that have been hanging around for ages
I used these all up, so for this month, my list is;
1) Aldi Lip Balm
2) Lacura Face Wash
3) L'Oreal CC Cream Anti-Dullness
4) No7 Eye Make Up remover
5) Snake venum scrub
6) Snake venum serum
7) Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate deoderant
8) TBS Satsuma soap
9) Weleda Skin Food
10) Wilkos Hand Cream0 -

Have just returned from my nieces 18th birthday and am feeling pretty old!

An application of Glamglow - WNBA - the design of the pot it very glamorous but the lid doesnt close tightly enough so the mud had set rock solid when I came to apply - I had to add a add a few drops of water to make it usable again. Given the price I think they should sort this out.No more buying toiletries0 -
OUT charlie pink body spray - WNBA. A small can given to me as a three part gift set. I'm not really a body spray person, I associate them with P.E. at high school. Used most of it at the gym, but it was a chore to use outside the gym, so just not for me.0
