No buying unnecessary toiletries in January 2014
Comments
-
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)
Don't get disheartened, according to friends I have enough to open a shop. I do go through quite a lot and I am getting really good at repurposing things, I do sell on ebay occasionally if I don't like something. Charity shops will take unopened things and you can put opened things on free cycle.
Emmajune78, I bet you are pleased with you beautiful bathroom. I want your taps.

My last INS and OUTS from January that I was being too lazy to post -
OUT
12 - Bombardino Bath Bomb - WMBA, I'm still not a huge fan of bath bombs though, much prefer the bubble bars.
IN -
32 - Too Faced Chocolate Eyeshadow Palette - Bought this with 22% off plus used some beauty card rewards. Hasn't arrived yet but declaring now as was bought in Jan.
33- Herbal Essences Volumising Shampoo - needed a more cleansing shampoo IYKWIM, my other shampoo is more moisturising and sometimes don't feel it washes my hair properly
34 - Maybelline Baby Lips in peach kiss - really didn't want to join the bandwagon with this but I have! Thought could be nice for day to day wear
35 - Collection Eye Pallete in Nude
36 - Sleek Blush by 3 Palette in Californ.i.a
37 - Sleek Blush by 3 Palette in Pink Lemonade
38 - MUA Pretty Edgy Palette

All of the above were things on my wish list/impulse buys.

Wow I wish they did!! I love the spicy things they do. Including Cinders, sorry you didn't like it. Its supposed to crackle, did yours not?Don't turn a slip up into a give up
