No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2016

Hi,

I'd love to join this challenge...my other half would probably also appreciate me doing this!

I've always had a huge amount of toiletries and now we're moving in together I've gone and created one for him too, so now I have double the amount of stuff to contend with! It was entirely unintentional - it's just a terrible habit, especially if I see something on offer or like the smell/look of it.

Here's my PP list for July:
1. Garnier Miracle Cream sample X2
2. Body Shop Blueberry shower gel
3. Body Shop banana shampoo
4. Body Shop banana conditioner
5. Taylor Swift Wonderstruck perfume

Going to start small because I have a horrible habit of having loads of products open at a time and switching between them.

Fingers crossed!

Welcome to the thread. I too have too many things open.

Many thanks for the new thread Gemzie

I'm in just for the 7 by Autumn, didn't do as well as hoped in the 7 by Summer, hoping the autumn challenge will go better.


1 - Benefit Fake up Concealer Full sized - This is about half full, was using it a lot then moved onto something else need to get this used up. 0 have used every day this week
2 - Benefit Watts Up Highlighter sample 2.5g. Hasn't been getting used as currently prefer powder highlighter. - Have been using under a powder highlighter
3 - Urban Decay Scandal Lip Gloss mini 1.7ml. Already have another one the same size, plus a tiny 1 or 2 use sample - have used twice this week.
4 - Benefit Porefessional mini 7.5ml. Has been open for ages not being used as prefer other things. - definitely going down, not my fav primer
5 - OPI mini polishes, I want to UU at least 1 of the following Samba-dy Loves Purple, Push & Pur-Pull, Whats a little Rain Forest. No more buying the sets of mini varnishes - have used Push & Pur-Pull this week didn't go on well and chipped quickly, its got one more chance then its in the bin.
6- Urban Decay Eye Shadows, I would like to UU at least one of the following all have hit pan already. 50/50 and Fix (from the Naked on the Run Palette), Baked Cowboy (from Shadow Box), and Minor Sin (single).

7 - Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado, Olive & Basil Body Lotion 250ml. Has been open for ages still not UU as really bad at remembering to use body lotion. - no movement on this

My Perfume is getting close to being UU, so instead of treating myself to a new one I'm going to UU all the little samples I've got and hope someone buys some for Birthday or even Christmas (if the samples last that long).


Need to find a new Deodorant and the weekend. Think I'm going to need a new setting powder. Only use it under the eyes to set concealer, but the one I have is a bit dark and doesn't give that nice mat finish you see lots of people with. I have seen people on You Tube using the Banana Colour from Anastasia contour powders to set under the eye (though this may be too yellow on me). Anyone have any suggestions. I am quite pale pinky toned an have dryer skin.

Thanks Gemzie.

I was missing in action in June. I have finally managed to read all of May's forum and I was working my way through June but I might just cut my losses and start from now. I was on holiday at the beginning of June and been mega busy since so haven't had time to catch up on everything.

I've also just found out this week that my OH is at risk of redundancy which is pretty bad timing seeing as I'm 5 months pregnant so slightly stressed. I'm considering starting a thread (if there isn't already one) to ask for people's opinions on cheaper toiletries. I don't always have expensive make up/toiletries but there are some that I really like and if I could have a cheaper alternative I might need to resort to that while money is tight. If any of you know of such a post please let me know otherwise I'll start one soon and post the link here as you ladies are the best people to advise me I think!

So in June:

UU:
No7 toner 30ml - was OK but I wouldn't be in any rush to buy it
Aussie miracle moist shampoo 75ml - I like the smell of the Aussie shampoo and it was OK for holiday but I'm sure I've used the fuller bottles in the past and got sick of them easily. I also prefer to buy bigger bottles so wouldn't buy this full size.
Aussie miracle moist conditioner 75ml - same as above
Soap and Glory Sugar Crush body wash 75ml - love this stuff
Soap and Glory hand food 50ml - again, love the smell of this
Garnier misceller water - loved this

TA:
L'Occitane purifying rice toner 50ml - I went to start using this last night and realised I must've opened it a long time ago as it was discoloured


IN:
TBS Seaweed facial wash
TBS Seaweed toner
TBS Seaweed day cream
TBS Seaweed night cream (trying out the new range, gonna try and use a full range to see if it helps)
TBS Satsuma hand cream
TBS Satsuma antibacterial gel
Garnier misceller water for sensitive skin
E45 moisturising spray - not sure if I mentioned this in May but got this from BzzAgent - absolutely love it. I'm lazy with body lotions etc but this is much quicker to absorb and much easier to use

I've re-purposed two perfumed body lotions as hand creams so that I actually use them. It's not something I'd have thought of before but listening to you all re-purposing things I thought I'd get in about the action.

I'm trying to think of other things I've used up but as I started updating this list I accidentally deleted the full list I had in my phone...it's just one of those weeks. There's no way I'm starting again with that list as it took me hours so I'll just start a new one for things used up and new in!

Hi All.

Long time lurker, finally joining in with yourselves.

Been trying to get the stash down in the last year or so and it's slowly getting there.

Will try and post a PP later on. ☺
