No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2013

I haven't done an official count but I think I'm under 50
Want to get through them just for the achievement then, if you see my other post, I want to make soap, as my husband is a beekeeper, as at least I will know what's in it and with a nearly two year old want to make sure what I'm using on his skin is going to be nice to it.
Making soap from your own beeswax sounds lovely and just the thing for a little one's skin. I have been buying home made soap from a guy at a craft outlet that I have visited twice this year it is so gorgeous to use, rich and creamy and no aggravation to eczema either. I will keep a nice hand wash for visitors as I know a lot of people don't use soap, but as I have my own bathroom I can use a fragrance I like and have bought more masculine ones for OH's bathroom. The maker's soaps are either made from shea butter or olive oil and he uses either oil or fragrance, not sure how he decides which.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

Floating Island is one of my fave's ENJOY!
I have some INs:
2x Dove deo HG
Batiste dry shampoo (in a scent I haven't tried) also a HG
and a UU from PP :T

Hello all! I'm afraid I have some INs to report. Went to buy my usual No7 Fanomenal mascara and found a GWP if I bought 2! I don't count mascara as I use it all the time, but the INs are as follows...
No7 Stay Precise eyeliner in black
No7 Extreme Length Mascara (sample size) in black
No7 High Shine lip Gloss, 9ml., in Whisper
No7 Stay Perfect eyeshadow (1.5 gms) in a neutal colour
These are all items I will use - though they came in a useful gift box, so they might come in handy in an emergency!

Boots Smile 6+ toothpaste - WBA DD HG
15ml Elemis flash balm - WMBA I liked this and felt it made a reasonable primer. These were featured in lots of recent GWP so I dont need to make a decision on repurchase for some time.
Lush santa bath ballistic - liked the gorgeous green colour of my bath so WBA.

Quite a few outs this month, just found out that someone at work is collecting toiletries for a woman's refuge, so I am donating unopened items, soap, tooth brushes, face mask sachets, etc, that I would rather go to a good cause than me over-use them just to get them out my stash.0

Popped into Wilkos because my lip balm stick had ran out and low and behold 3 in a pack for less than a £1, so that's 3 lip balm sticks in.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 -
I've thrown away two lip balms, part of a gift set a friend gave me two years ago. I've barely mad ea dent in either of them over 2 years, so I thought it would be better to chuck them.0

Boo all the discount codes available for Look Fantastic seem to have stopped working for Naked 3 so they've clearly got wise to that.... Still, brother has kindly ordered it for me anyway, so excited!! :j
Rubbish the codes had stopped working but hooray to getting it anyway! I really like the look of it as it looks quite different to the others.
Dolly I love the sound of the cinnamon buns shower gel - might try and get some in the sales if possible.
2 UUs today -
187 - Nivea Daily Essentials Eye make up remover 125ml - WBA and already have
188 - Batiste Fresh Dry Shampoo 200ml - same as above :rotfl:0
