No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2015

momobingu

Had another tidy. Feeling overwhelmed with "things" again.

I really want to unload 14 nail polishes, 2 falsie set, 2 hand creams. If anybody wants them or wants to swap, message me please x

It was watching YouTubers that actually cured me of my addiction! It was noticing how many of them clearly had serious shopping and hoarding problems that frightened me, especially as the commenters seemed to be cheering them on. It was that that got me into the whole decluttering and minimalism thing. I now watch vids of girls who have whole rooms full of unopened make-up and just feel sorry for them.

same here....think of all the money that is just sitting there.

Peeking in here after a lonnnnng time away! I lost track of what I was using up, forgot to update my list, and got a bit sidetracked and eventually lost the thread (some may say lost the plot, who am I to argue).

But I wanted to say a quick thanks to everyone here. It was joining this thread away back last year that forced me to finally sort through the tons of cosmetics etc. I had and whilst I still have a huge stash, I've only bought essentials (shampoo, deodorant etc.) since then.

I stopped keeping nice smellies for special occasions and started using up all the nice bubble baths etc. and i'm at the point where I'm almost at the bottom of some of my piles.

So thank you all for the inspiration! I'm going to jump back in here in an effort to keep focussed on using up the rest of my stash. Still astounded at what I've amassed over the years!:doh:

And all the dust it's catching. /asthmatic consideration

1 In - an Elizabeth Snow nail polish. I could not resist it for £1. And I don't have any green nail varnish and it will go with some of my new addiction from Gems.

1 Out. Philosophy Hope in a Jar sample sachet. Did not last very well in the stash even though it's not that old. Still softening and pore-closing though. And used up to PP the Philospophy Microexfoliating face wash - which did survive the stash much better and does exfoliate without scratching.

Here is my mini pp list for the rest of the month:
1.estee lauder pure color envy lipstick in envious - GWP in a tiny carton thingy so very easy to use up (i hope)
2.estee lauder modern muse chic edp 1.5 ml GWP
3.estee lauder perfectly clean multi action foam cleanser/purifying mask 7 ml GWP
4.lancome advanced genifique serum mini

Only 3&4 are on my to-use-up-inventory but my skin really needs a change at the mo

Just a little update...

July PP
Garnier vital restore night cream
Superdrug natural radience 12 hour day cream
Beauty formula cleanser and toner
[STRIKE]Garnier shea butter hand cream[/STRIKE]WMBA
[STRIKE]Jergens daily moisture hand and cuticle cream[/STRIKE] WNBA, not rich enough for my hands
Misc. bar soap (bought at a market many moons ago - have no idea what it is)
Addidas deo roll on
L'oreal nutri bronze facial tan lotion
[STRIKE]Johnsons summer body gradual tan lotion[/STRIKE] WMBA, would like to test the others on the market first. I replaced this with the Garnier 'summer body' spray, but it appears DD19 took this on holiday with her!
Lypsyl 'honeyberry' lipbalm (yes I hoard lipbalms!)

gym bag
Garnier 'in shower' bodylotion
[STRIKE]M&S witch hazel toning cream[/STRIKE]WNBA
[STRIKE]M&S alove vera & honey balm[/STRIKE]strange sticky texture - WNBA
Lacura roll on deo
Tesco coconut milk conditioner
Schwarztkopf hair theraphy leave in conditioner
Misc. unlabeled shampoo (in travel bottle)

Some IN's...

L'Occitane mini giftbox from DD23.
Verbena showergel
Verbena bodylotion
Cherry blossom hand cream
Shea foot cream
Soap with verbena leaves

Such cute dinky little things. Will probably keep it to use on holiday next month.

I've suffered a few set backs at work and home, and was feeling a bit 'emotionally bruised'. Took a few hours wandering the shops. My theory was at least I was not comfort eating.

Bought...

Collection 2000 brown/black waterproof mascara. In my defense it was needed and it was the cheapest I could find. If it's no good I will move up in expense brackets until I find something satisfactory.

I discovered some Naked products in the 99p store - love the Naked brand and they seem to be disappearing from the major retailers, so I grabbed them. The curl stuff I will use on my wavy hair or pass on to my mum who has much curlier hair.

Naked 'gorgeous curls' curl taming cream
Naked 'curl tamer' curl styling mousse
Naked 'positivity' hand cream

I still bought a double caramel magnum, and a bar of Galaxy which I proceeded to eat over the next 12 hours, so don't think my 'not comfort eating' theory worked!:(

Mmmmmmm - double caramel Magnum - sounds yummy.

VALM

Thought I'd revisit my July PP list as we are a week away from the end of the month:-

[STRIKE]Clinique DDML[/STRIKE]
Elemis serum
[STRIKE]Elemis PCMC eye serum[/STRIKE]
UG dry shampoo
[STRIKE]LE bergamot and lime shower gel
LE Bergamot and lime body lotion
L'Occitane magnolia fragrance[/STRIKE]
MB white mulberry hand lotion
Sanctuary hand wash
Champ eyes hand cream

Not been very productive have I?

Another UU though but not on the list:-

Philosophy Pure Grace whipped body cream. Love this fragance. WBA, maybe in US if it's good value over there.

Of all these products I think the fragrance will go next. It's one of those little bottles that was a mag freebie which you have to tip and pour over you.

Must remember to bring those Elemis serums out tonight I think.[/QUOTE]
