No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2015

OK need to fess up from the naughty step. Remember how I was practically gloating about not buying the LE Ltd Ed C&P? Well, I ended up at the Trafford Centre on Saturday as both MrM and I wanted new boots. Went into JL to get a gift card for my sister for Christmas and saw that the LE stand had the new Pepper pod and mint C&P. I'll just have a smell, I said. So the SA pumped it onto my hand and started enthusing about the Orange and mint one as well. There was another customer there and we got chatting about how we had both tried the Orange one last year and before I knew it I was caught up in the hype and buying a Pepper pod and mint one. Anyway, it's nothing great to write home about although it does smell nice and has left my skin feeling smoother than the original C&P. I know, there's no hope.
Also, I had downloaded a 40% off voucher for The Body Shop as I had looked in my stash and saw I had no body butter/lotion left. I had opened a bottle of S&G Orangeism and didn't have anything lotion wise to match so bought a tub of Satsuma body butter. Cleaning the bathroom yesterday I pulled out two x body lotions from under the basin (Sanctuary and Vaseline Cocoa butter). At least neither of them smelt fruity I suppose.
I also bought 2 x more packs of Yes to Grapefruit wipes from Boots whilst they are on offer.
So, ladies. I really don't intend to buy anything else this month or November. You can remind me of this post!!
Repainted my nails last night and am wearing Essie With the Band.
Sorted out a make up basket for this week also and am wearing:-
MAC Prep and Prime 50SPF
Laura Geller Balance N Brighten
Laura Geller Bronze N Brighten
Lorac Pro matte eyeshadow palette
Nyx Amoureux mascara (note that Boots.com now selling NYX)
Nyx Wanderlust blush
Nars Raspberry lip gloss.
Out of all these products there is only the Bronze N Brighten that is getting low but no doubt it will still last a while.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!

A UU today, Avion active breathe roll on deodorant- Wnba this didn't last long and I didn't really like the scent. Did do an ok job as a deodorant but there are just as good ones that I like the scent of better, I prefer the on duty bloom one from Avon.
Seaside dreamer you've reminded me that I need to dig out my little bottle of snow fairy soon. I want to re purchase this in the Xmas sale if I can, and I don't want my bottle to go off! I love it so much I've been saving it!
I thought mine had gone off as it was way past the label date and proper separated, took a lot of shaking but it was fine. I always stock up in the sale:money::money: UU here Sure Motionsense Invisible Pure, first time I've used this, very impressed, lovely fragrance too.Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
One UU, Next pure passion body scrub - Wmba as part of the gift set if I was re purchasing the perfume. I liked the scent of this and it was a nice gentle scrub that didn't irritate or sting. The scent stayed on my skin long after my shower. Not sure if this perfume is still available though.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

I have a couple of uu's
Avon Mattifying Face Cream SPF30 50ml - WBA, I don't think Avon do the matte one anymore but their SPF's are good.
Emma Hardie Moringa Balm 50ml - WMBA but I have decided this is expensive so when I finally need to buy a cleanser it will be something cheaper.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Well done on your pan list and lack of ins Recently dolly
Hope everyone is well
I've UU a tube of body wash that came in a set last Christmas, it was nice and lathery with a lovely scent so wouldn't object to being given it again but I need to UU a lot more bath stuff before I even consider buying bubble bath or wash productsSPC~12 ot 124

Feel like I haven't had a UU in such a long time!! Went on holiday last week and a few testers were used but I'm not counting them in my list. On the other hand I haven't had any in's for a long time except for what I have needed to buy.
I'm even thinking of taking my make up off and starting again just to use more of it.My debt free diary
