No buying unnecessary toiletries July 2014

mad_scientist

Thanks for the new thread babafette and welcome to the newbies!

I am hoping not to buy anything this month, I have been busy decluttering my flat before I move and have absolutely no desire to bring anything at all back again :rotfl: I think it might have cured me of shopping!

Welcome Prudent, homemademama and dippy3103.

Joining this thread being the driving force! It's much more exciting to use up something when you've got somebody to tell who's excited for you!

Oh how very true. It makes the use ups even more satisfying when you report them here.

Thank you for the welcome everyone. I will try and get a list up in the next couple of days. Over the past month or so, I have used up quite a few small products which I found in the bottom of a cupboard.

Clutterfree & Sam your lists were full of lovely things. I think mine will be more basic as I haven't had much money to spend on toiletries. Most of it I am hoping to use up to try and save money. Anything I can't use I am going to hand into school at the start of next term. I work in a special school and we have a beauty room for teaching pupils to look after themselves and for a bit of pampering whne they need it.

I'm definitely in again - thank you Babafette for starting us off!

In June I had 27 UUs and 14 INs. So I ended June on 145 UUs, 146 INs and 1 TA - breakeven at the halfway point!

Whew! Some of these are nearing the end so these and the minis should be easy targets - I have a weekend away later this month and also hoping to get back to my very regular gym visits as foot (finally) seems to be healed.

Determined to have another good month and no reason for any bought ins whatsoever - going to hold out on shampoo and conditoner as long as I can by using the minis I have stashed first.

Happy July!

I always find July and august good times to get things used up as I'm on holiday for 3 weeks, I'm going to do a recount before posting my numbers but I'm house sitting at the moment. Think I just ran out of shampoo and conditioner though

Thanks for the new thread Babafette.

A big welcome to our newbies, no strict rules on this thread about sticking to the topic, we all like a ramble and a moan now and again.

I have no plans to buy anything this month. The kids break up from school on 18th and we are away on holiday at the end of the month but I have plenty of travel sizes to take. In reality I shouldn't need to buy anything at all for the rest of the year but I would like another of the Revlon lip butters and I plan to make that a treat for further weight loss.

My PP list for this month is:

Ren Active 7 Eye Gel 3ml
Dermalogica Multi Vitamin Powerfirm 5ml
No7 Bubble Bath 250ml
Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Wash 300ml
Body Shop White Musk Libertine Body Spray
Body Shop White Musk Libertine EDT
Body Shop White Musk Libertine Shower Gel
Body Shop White Musk Libertine Body Lotion
Elemis Skin Bliss Capsules 7 day supply
No7 Nourishing Nail and Cuticle cream
Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm

Using the above will not be a hardship as they are all pleasant to use.

I am barely containing my excitement for the weekend, we are going to see the Tour pass through a gorgeous little town a short train ride from home, we were going to see the Grand Depart in Leeds but decided on day 2, I would really like to see the riders negotiate Holme Pass, I have driven on this road many times, it is a hill like nothing else, a sheer drop down both sides and the scenery is amazing, we can drive there in about half an hour but not sure where we could stop to watch.

We are going a bit bike crazy in Yorkshire at the moment I have never seen so many cyclists about, the weather is helping aswell.

Thanks for the new thread Babafette
I've been MIA last month taking advantage of this beautiful weather. :T
I've had no OUTs or INS so I suppose that is good toothpaste has a couple of days use I think as does the shower gel, hopefully out.

Thanks Babafette and welcome to the new girls.

I'm starting the month off with an OUT M&S Pure Moisture Plus Face Mask 50ml - yet another product I persevered with to the bitter end despite it having made no discernible difference to my skin and smelling a whole lot strange / off. :T

2. Soap & Glory - Easy Glistening Dry Oil Body Gloss 150ml
3. Evolu - Rehydrating Facial Masque 50ml
4. Body Shop - Divine Calm Lavender Body Lotion 200ml
