Out - Dr Weil for Origins mask. WNBA as too drying and my skin is still tingling, which is never a good thing given how crotchety it is. I see breakouts heading my way.0

4 outs and 4 ins, leaving no change to my stash number, D'oh! Although I did also finish a Lush face mask (Scared truth i think it was called) but I had forgotten to include it in the stash in the first place, double D'oh! Would buy it again though, it was very nice.
OUTS
• Schwarzkopf Got2B Volume Mousse, WNBA, not a fan of the way it sprays
• Garnier Ultimate Blends Strength Restorer Conditioner, WNB was using it to shave legs with. Was a freebie anyway.
• Fancy soap – was a xmas pressies from my mum and don't know where it was from, I'm guessing a local soap shop she found whilst on holiday. Was very nice and moisturising but have no way to repurchase!
• Soap & Glory body Butter, WBA
INS
• L'oreal Volumising hair mousse
• Superdrug Vit E With argan oil body cream
• Superdrug Simply Pure Hydrating Serum
• L'Oreal Skin Perfection Miracle Cleansing OilNo more goo hoarding!

I also have some INs to report...
Batiste Dry shampoo - cherry. I usually wash my hair everyday but am considering giving it a break from that so have picked this up to see how I get on with washing every second day.
Auzzie 3 minute Miracle - Ok so I didn't really need this but it was on special offer in boots and I also had a manufacturers coupon to use so got it for 1.75. Not feeling too guilty about this one.
2 x listerine 500ml as they are on Try me Free at the minute and I will be running low on this in about another week or so.
Used my Philosophy Microdelivery peel last night and my skin feels amazing now. Am starting to run low on this now and have no other peels in my stash so need to start looking out for special offers. Has anyone seen these on special anywhere except for boots 3 for 2? not sure I want to pay £120 up front even if I do get 3 of them. Or has anyone tried any other amazing peels that they would recommend with a slightly lower price point?July 2015 - £997 in Debt.

A few UU's:
2. Clinque Dramatically Different Moisturiser - got as a freebie and WBA.
3 Decleor Aromessence Visage Face Oil - freebie, WNBA I hate the smell but would buy a facial oil for winter time.
4. TBS Chocomania Shower Cream - loved it but I am glad I am getting on top of the shower gel stash I have!
Only 3 INs reported earlier in the.month too so a good month.0 -

Whatever possessed me to buy banana scented shower gel and body butter from the Body Shop in the sale (a number of years ago) I do not know. I mean, I like eating them and I do like other gourmand scents (vanilla for example), but what adult really wants to smell of bananas? Can't say I am surprised I've never seen it in their shops since.
The shower gel got UU ages ago as handwash but the body butter is still lurking and though it's old it's refusing to go off. I might end up TA... it's not like it cost much and it will clash terribly with any perfume. The only other option is when I've finished my foot cream stash I might use on my feet at night - that's about as close as I'd want it to my nose!
I have had some awful stuff in my stash too. I would put the Body Butter on at night, your sheets will smell like banana but you can shower in the morning. I have used this trick a few times with something I didnt like.0 -

Emma, I have use this one and found it amazing. Unsure if it is a direct replacement but for my skin it did wonders.

I just read the reviews on amazon and read this little gem -
"Produces exactly the same result as the philosophy micro dermabrasion kit. I know this because I have both items. It's excellent."
definitely will be trying this one as soon as my Philosophy runs out!! Thanks Asajj!

I went for an eyebrow wax in Boots, Benefit counter and they made me wait for 10 minutes and to apologise gave me a free Benefit Gimme Brow Gel. Also through Twitter , i got a Tanning Shop lipgloss. 2 Free INs :dance:
That's a nice gesture. I love having my brows done by Benefit as they then use their products to disguise the redness around my forehead! lol. Of course, I then usually succumb to buying something too.I received an e-mail from LE for their sale and I failed to resist
I couldn't resist to freebies coming with it and really regretting now :o
Ooo what did you get?Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

Ooh thanks, will try and grab one of these.
So a little last minute flurry of UUs:-
From the PP List:-
Sancturay handwash. Nice fragrance but made my hands too dry. WNBA.
Elemis Serum. WDNBA. Too expensive considering it was just a nice product. Came in a kit from MrM. Would want something that wowed me for the price of this.
Non-PP list:-
Lush Porridge soap. HG but have a L'Occitane almond scrub to open next.
See you all in August. Must tot up my totals.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
