Thanks Dolly,
Super excited to have found this thread, I can't wait to get through my pile.
Though I am not sure how I will go with not buying anything new for the coming months... I am a little addicted to skincare and makeup!!July 2015 - £997 in Debt.
No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries challenge, started June 2015 UU x 18, TA x 6, IN x 26.

Welcome emma-6584!
I have one UU today:
Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo 75ml: This smells incredible and made my hair so shiny and soft! I have the full size shampoo and conditioner in my stash!
I also have 3 INs:
Boots Essentials 3 Minute Clay Mask 50ml: I effectively got this free due to a points offer!
Superdrug Vitamin E Moisture Boot Facial Serum 50ml: I've not used a serum before so I thought I would give this one a go. Tried it out not long ago and has made my face so soft and smells INCREDIBLE!
Superdrug Solait Anti-aging Face Fluid SPF 30: I work outside and thought it was about time I invested in a facial SPF.
It also seems that I've found a winning combination for my hideous spotty skin as they seem to be calming down and, dare I say it, clearing up. I'm using Burt's Bees Soap Bark and Chamomile Cleanser and TBS Vitamin E Day Cream

No UUs today but my hand (and elbow and forearm) cream is almost gone!
I now have stuff in "virtual" baskets at Boots, The Body Shop, Feel Unique and Superdrug - I haven't broken yet and pressed the checkout button! As a test I have just tried to remember what is in each basket and I have no idea (apart from some of The Body Shop and Boots ones!) so I can't REALLY want it all can I!
Earlier today I was like "ooooh my skin is soooooft, which body lotion am I using?" then realised it has nothing whatsoever to do with the body lotion and more to do with using it consistently!!0 -
IN
My Latest In Beauty Heart Box arrived!
Philosophy Purity 3 in 1 cleanser - 30ml - I used this last night and it made my face really soft. Although not too keen on the smell.
Nails Inc Gel Polish in Hyde Park Place - full size - Love this! I have kept it on for three days, which is a record for me as I've usually chipped polish by now. The shade is nice, kinda light grey, a colour which I would probably not buy myself.
Haven't tried the rest yet ....
Balance Me Radiance Face Mask - 30ml
Amie Morning Light Hydrating Daily Moisturiser - full size
Bareminerals Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream - sample
Le Couvent Des Minimes Cloisters Moisturising Hand Cream - 25ml
Kneipp Devil's Claw Herbal Bath Oil - 20ml
Dove Youthful Vitality Shampoo and Conditioner - 50ml each
Wild About Beauty Eye Shadow - 2.5g
Green People Sun Lotion with SPF15 With Tan Accelerator - 20ml
Vichy Idealia Life Serum - 3ml
Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gel - 1 sachet
Heart shaped expandable face cloth - full size
My first beauty box and I really like that it's not a subscription and you know what you're getting before you buy.
Apparently lots of people are complaining about this month's Glossybox box ... did anyone get it?0 -
No uu's to report but I did repaint my nails last night with Ciate Maybe Baby - it looks gorgeous. I had forgotten how lovely this color is.
I keep having to google your nail colours dolly. That colour is gorgeous but as I have medium olive toned skin they look a dirty colour on my nails. I've pulled out my bottles of Sephora by OPI Metro Chic which is a mauvey brown colour. Have a mini bottle and full sized. Have just applied one coat from the mini bottle and will follow up with further coats from the big bottle.Thanks Dolly,

Stay strong Almostthere. X
One UU today - LG BnB. HG a product and have taken last one from the stash. Let's hope there's another TSV before this finishes lol.
Have opened the Clinique DDML tonight and it has to be the most difficult bottle to get product out of that I've used for ages.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

2 UU's today
6. Vosene Shampoo love this doesn't irritate my scalp. WBA
7. Tresemme Naturals nourishing moisture conditioner. I don't think I like this conditioner or its partner shampoo...irritates my scalp perhaps because it has silicones in it. Don't think I'll buy again but already have a back up...and someone in the house always ends up buying this brand because they forget how 'amazing' it is.0 -
UU
Vaseline Cocoa Butter Lip Balm
Avon Christian Lacroix Rogue Eau Parfum - has stopped working, getting a replacement. Brought perfume for a friend's birthday.Now feel like taken it back.
So 117-2=1150 -

I find myself looking at things at Boots or other places to think no I don't need more stuff now. I had a big clear out 4-5 months ago and amount of stuff I have had really was depressing.
It took me half a day and made me realize how unnecessarily I have spent money for the things I don't use often. So it is not only good that I am more cautious about spending now but also I'm better at using them!!ally.0
