No buying unnecessary toiletries April 2014

tiffanyjayne_2

Ok OH has just agreed to me using the £1 rule, £2 for make up and £5 for perfume but not on samples as i get 2 beauty boxes and freebies a month and we aren't rich
I'm saving for a bottle of Bvgari, i can't express the level of love i have for the perfume so it's on my number one want list but i have to earn it as i have lots of perfumes x

I get Love me beauty & Glossy Box. Possibly why I have so many samples! Could take me a while to list that little lot.


Counted my nail polishes earlier. I have 89 not including top coats, treatments & base coats. :mad:

I am actually looking forward to doing this now I have this thread. I am going to go cold turkey for 2 months. I can handle it. Honest


Ps wheres the naughty step? Just in case. Near purchase incident already

166million, sorry that I missed seeing your post earlier about the shampoo and conditioner.
Your special bottles fall outside being toiletries, they have become something quite different.

For many years I grew a plant in my garden that wasn't particularly attractive, being a rather plain yellow daisy, but the very last thing my mother and I did together was to dig up some of this plant in her garden to stock the flower bed in my still rather new house.

A lovely artistic friend of mine gave me a birthday card one year with the flowers painted on the front. The flowers eventually died back in a harsh winter but I still have the painting.

It's not healthy mentally or physically to keep everything, but some things we need for much longer than others.

Just deleted without reading this mornings batch of emails with discount codes. There will be other offers...

Hello, I flopped in fe band march and instead of staying with the thread I gave up as I knew I was purchasing too much!!

April I am determined to stay with the thread and use up stuff I already have in my stash!! I really can't think of anything I don't have and would need to buy!!

Although I'm in naughty step already as yesterday ....

I bought three tubes of intensive mask from James brown range, normally about £9 got the for £3 in woopsy section in boots and 3 for 2 so should have been £18 but got for £6... Result I love James brown!!

So I have everything in my stash with no great gaps. I want to change my skin care but I am determined to use up what I have before I replace it....

Good luck ladies

Welcome to all the newbies, nice to see so many new preople joining us!

I too love reading everyone's stash lists

A couple of quick UUs to mention:

74. Philosophy Vanilla Cake Mix 120ml - WMBA if on a sale as good as this one was! Lovely scent and lather but kjust too pricey for everyday use IMO.

75. L'Occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream 10ml - this was the FB freebie, nice but probably WNB as I have a hand cream glut!

I also forgot to mention some INs that I brought over from my present stash at the weekend to replenish my stash of minis (get through these sooo quicky at the gym and they're poor VFM to replace individually):

81. S&G Clean on Me 75ml
82. S&G Calm One Calm All 75ml
83. S&G Righteous Butter 50ml
84. S&G Scrub of Your Life 50ml
85. S&G Hand Food 50ml (not yet opened but not holding out much hope that this will not have gone off!)
86. S&G Girligo 100ml

I've updated my March numbers

a UU last night
pump bottle of body ultimate skincare super hydrating formula, it had a slight Plasticine smell to it so think it was on its way off. its been in my stash for ages. WNBA as i have loads of lotions, it was something i won.

Thanks SeasideDreamer and Moneyless Mac, I think a quid per item is doable although I might drop to 50p for sachets as I have a lot! Hoping to get through the bulk of them this month

Oh my god this thread is fabulous. Every month since I don't know when I have said I will not buy cosmetics or toiletries, and use up my huuuuge stash. Every month I fail.

You ladies have fabulous taste. So many lovely products.

Will have a rummage through & catalogue mine. I'm recovering from an op & bored silly stuck at home so will enjoy this

Do it Do it
I found it so tiring typing them all up but its a positive step, shows you that you don't actually need anything new

I have soooo many skincare items in my stash and I hardly ever seem to use up any products. I do however seem to finish up items that I don't have any more of, hence my stash going back up again! I can see both my handcreams (the one at home and the one at work) are nearly all out so that means two new purchases are on the way. Meanwhile I have so many bloody face masks cluttering my bathroom!
