No buying unnecessary toiletries in January 2014

Sundaysgirl

emsjune your bathroom is fab! I'm particularly envious of the waterfall tap on the bath - I'm a bit obsessed with these! :smileyhea

noelphobic don't get disheartened with your PP, I've had an item on mine since October (I was a bit ambitious ) and it just might be reported as a UU tonight!

Emsjune your bathroom is gorgeous! I love the tiles too. Amazing.
Fiasco - jacuzzi sounds fab, how lovely!

Thanks for sharing your makeup purchasing difficulties with me everyone. I am going to admit to my INS shortly as I have been putting it off for the past few days. I am not going to buy any make up in February at all. Will be a real challenge but I need to do it.

I was trying to not ask that question, given the fact that I have so many hand creams plus body butters and lotions that could also be used for hands!

I know, I'm the same, but it's free so it would be rude not to really........

The new bathroom looks lovely emsjune, definitely worth the wait!

It's the end of the month and I have no purchases :T:A just back from a couple of days away with my BF and didn't take the toiletries either (TBH I wasn't that impressed with them and it was tubes rather than bottles that are always handy to refill )
I have the L'Occitane voucher but don't know when I'll next be near the store so probably won't get the hand creams before they run out.:(

OMG my inventory so far has 815 products on it so far but that doesn't include what I have in bathroom/handbags/lying around elsewhere

This includes all toiletries/makeup/hair products but even still......I'm actually ashamed! I didn't think I was that bad with make up as I don't really wear it much, but I'm just as terrible as I am with anything else . Going to get a proper journal book and write it all in order of product and NOT buy anything else till I'm out of it! (Which will be a long time)

Hi everyone when's the February Challenge starting? I would love to join!

CookieMonsta

I have a couple of UUs to squeak into January's challenge!

I'm on my own tonight so had a lovely bath and pamper session my Simple Baby Moisturising Shampoo was nearly empty but I didn't need to wash my hair. I had a bit of a brainwave and used it as bubble bath! I don't normally put bubbles in my bath because it irritates my skin but I knew this wouldn't as it's sooooo gentle.

I don't have a baby by the way, just dry hair!

I also UU'ed a Superdrug Vitamin E Exfoliating Body scrub. WBA I am really impressed with it as it made my skin so soft and my body lotion sink in like a dream! This was a travel size so I'm now seriously considering getting the full size.

I've also been through my frankly tiny make-up collection and decided to throw away a Bourjois Smokey Eyes Trio. WNBA - It's quite poor quality and since I have less than 10 eyeshadow shades I think I deserve to maybe buy myself a palette next month.

By the way I have green eyes and tend to always wear purple shades of eyeshadow. What do other greenies wear?

Also TA a Boots 17 glitter eye liner - WNBA I'm too old for glitter!
TA - Pretty Polly Sheer Silk Leg Make-up - this got used maybe once last year and I'm always scared it's going to leak and stain the carpet - why am I holding onto it?
TA - Boots 17 Hide & Chic Eye Brightening Concealer - WNBA I don't know if it's really old or what but it's quite chalky and dry and doesn't cover anything up!

It should be up and running soon. I look forward to hearing about your stash.
