No buying unnecessary toiletries February 2014

Dolly thank you for the kind words and encouragement. I will let you know if I have a wobble and you can remind me of how many eyeshadow palettes I already have (a lot!) It's inspiring to hear how well you are doing, well done.
Thanks for info and tips about Hydraluron everyone. I don't really get dry skin so think I will leave it for now, I will probably try it at some point in the future but I do not need it and would like to have no INS for Feb. Clutterfree I am liking the Pixi so far - no break outs from it yet which is a big improvement from the REN, thank you. I will let you know how it goes.
Nillionaire you are at home here then as I too have problems with make up (used to be clothes too!) Welcome.0 -
Thank you for starting the new thread.
Trouble is I can't resist a bargain - but then we all say that. Have you tried disciplining yourself to so may multiple numbers of an item? Ie 2 x deodorant so you don't run out? No? I can't manage it either
That's exactly my problem as you will see with my shopping trip this morning. Toilet roll count about 30.
Welcome newbies.
INS
7 Mitchum deodorants they were in the reduced section in boots for £1.45 for the larger size and I will always use them and I did use points so theoretically they are free.
3 cheap sprays 45 p each again boots clearance section and I will use these up quickly.
La Roche-posay SPF 50 extreme fluid reduced to £4 again something I will use and I'm on my last one. I will use this on my face. Again in theory free as used boots points.
Dark angel face cleanser I like it and my skin is not great at the moment and I miss it. Yes I do have a cleansers and exfoliants but they just don't do what this product does for my skin.
2 x blue skies and fluffy white cloud bubble bar, my favourite scent lush had ever done and I am almost out, I only have enough for a couple more baths.0 -
Thank you for the new thread KT. I'm in for Feb! Jan totals were 16 IN and 23 UU/GA/TA - in the right direction but hoping for less IN in Feb now sales mania has died down, struggling to formulate a PP list lately though as most things are either full size or unopened - do have some one use items though such as bath bombs so I should chalk some up at least!0

Right, ready to go and on a mission to use stuff up and NOT buy!
My inventory came to 815 items, I still have some to add, and I also have a huge MUA order which arrived today but I ordered about 2 weeks ago so I'm not counting them as Feb ins!
I've ordered a pretty journal in which I'm going to list my stuff by type when it comes and work my way through it from thereNo more unnecessary toiletries Feb 2014 INS: 24 UU: 13. Mar 2014. INS: lost count, naughty step for me! UU: 80 -
Can I ask, what's probably an obvious question- what is a pp list?

Project pan basically it is where you normally aim to use up 10 items and pan them ( bin). I don't think you are supposed to buy anything until they are completed. We all do it differently to suit yourself I tend to list more than 10 items as I go through things quickly.0 -

actually seeing it written down like this makes me realise i do have a problem
i am 100% pledging that i am not buying another more stuff unless it needs replacing or it is something i would use all the time on offer like bubble bath, hair dye and shampoo0 -
I'm in for February. Final count for Jan was;
OUT: 44 (cleared out and gave/threw away a lot of stuff and used up a few things I was down to the last dregs of but had previously got bored of and moved onto new stuff)
IN: 56
Oops! I'm hoping to see my stash decrease a bit this month, I got a bit carried away with the sales after Xmas and it was my birthday mid Jan so was expecting to have a few INs!
I'm starting February with a total count of 205 items. All I should need to buy this month is deoderant as I don't hoard this.
Hope everyone does well this monthNever say never0 -
Also have my PP list sorted for the month:
Blossom body wash
Blossom shower gel
Blossom body lotion
Figs and Rouge lip balm
Supercream
Pearl Drops
Simple shampoo
Rose hand cream
Vitamin C Moisturiser
Vitamin C eye pen
Vitamin C Micro dermabrasion
Body Shop lipstick0
