No buying unnecessary toiletries in January 2014

mad_scientist

Evening

I unliked the L'Occitane FB page after I got my last free handcream but sounds like I have to be their friend again!

pirateyqueen does your BF know that you are telling us about his fondness for bunny manicures? :rotfl:

KT2802 having a look through my make up stash at New Year really helped me not buy any more. I had decided that I deserved an UD Naked palette but looking at all my eyeshadows changed my mind! I already have about 30 brown eyeshadows so it was definitely not needed!

I started on a waterproof mascara, but my eye make up remover isn't up to the job. Can anyone recommend something, £5 or less?

Radox energise shower gel - WMBA DD used this without complaint. Although its probably unnecessary to buy shower gel for the next few years.

I peeked, then took a deep breath and closed the window. Phew. I also got all my nail varnishes out this morning, put them in a rainbow line and shook them. I'll see which ones spilt...and test the others.

I have polishes that are 8+ years old, even though some of them split they have been fine when shaken and I have had to throw very few away.

It is perhaps sad, but from time to time I go and look through my lovely red Helmer and give all the polishes a shake:o

Garnier Simply Essentials 2 in 1 makeup remover - fantastic stuff and on offer in Boots at the mo for 2 for £4 - I find a lot of cleansers struggle with Benefit They're Real that I wear but this makes short work of it - my HG never to be strayed from makeup remover, far superior to the Clinique version IMO

Oh thanks emsjune - I will pop in for some at the weekend! But maybe will avoid the 2 for £4 - keeping the stash down and all that

It's the end of the month tomorrow, so I've totted it up: I'm at 13 OUTs and only 2 INs, which is the fewest number of ins I've had since joining this challenge last April. Hope to keep it up next month.

emsjune78, your bathroom is lovely! I have green eyes, my bathroom suit is peach :eek: Think we'll be stuck with it for a few more years yet, the kitchen needs replacing first. One day though, I will be chasing your bathroomy tail Happy bathing!

I tend to keep my face out of the sun when lying by the pool but obv, walking to and fro etc was enough to catch it on my upper lip. It was NOT a good look.

I will look at the Soltan Once range as I don't like to go without makeup, even in a place where no one knows me [/QUOTE]

Fair enough! I have days when I 'have' to wear make-up but I don't bother most of the time, unless I'm meeting a friend or something!

So it's nearly the end of the month and I failed miserably in not buying any unnecessary toiletries in January. It was the sales that did it! However, I'm more positive for February. I'm enjoying following this thread everyday and the support you lovely ladies provide x

I have failed for January too, looking forward to a nice fresh start in Feb!

No7 remover is excellent and is well under a fiver if you have one of the vouchers to use, it's one I go back to after trying several others!

Thank you very much, I'll have confused everyone now though as have deleted the post, for some reason the pics came out really small - I obviously haven't got the hang of Photobucket just yet!! Not sure if its because I sent them from my mobile or because Firefox has some issues with it from what I've been googling. Will try again tomorrow and post to the new thread if I'm successful!!
