No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2016

Forgive me ladies, I have splurged. I went to Boots and then Superdrug in a bad mood and came back much happier, but with many INs. Anybody going to keep me company on the naughty step?
2x OS Coconut & Shea Butter shower gel, HG and necessary-ish
2x shave gel, necessary
Aussie Miracle Shine shampoo and conditioner, I will need this in, er February next year
Simple biphase eye makeup remover - I don't have a good one
Simple 2x cleansing oil, will be able to start this some time in 2018 once I'm through the stash
No 7 nail polish in Rose Gold and matte lip crayon in Rasperry Wine, which I totally just bought for the freebie set, which is actually rubbish, and the free lipstick you get with it, which is fairly good - I now have so many lipsticks and then . . .
Nyx matte lipstick in Tea Rose, the other Nyx matte lipstick that I bought was fabulous and I have worn it at least ten times in the last two months so of course I needed another in case it runs out (ha)
Nyx brown eyeliner, I never use eyeliner, but naturally when I was in the shop I thought this would convert me
Sooo, seventeen INs, and one UU:
L'oreal extraordinary oil night mask - love this stuff
I am going to have a critical stash review over the weekend and possibly a bit of a clear out. I know there is some stuff that i'm hanging on to that is ancient and horrible and should just go in the bin!0 -

I accidentally bought the wrong one before but I will use it up and then Go back to just buying the sensitive one. Everything is still spluttering away but I have a few pamper days put by next week, getting ready for a party so I hope to use them up then.
Not sure what it is in Tesco but its on offer in Wilko too for £1.75:money: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 -
Hopefully my last IN for August
170ml Rohto Hadalabo Super Hyaluronic Moisturizing Lotion 6/63
I really was hoping for more UU this month, all seems terribly slow, but should be at least 2 more and a couple of things seem light, but not able to see how much left:(The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
Hi all. I have been away at the seaside since last weekend.
I have one uu
Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Dry/Combination 30ml - this is very pleasant to use. I would happily use again if I receive it as a GWP and do have a slightly bigger tube in the stash.
I had several different gwp sizes in my stash. Turned out they all held the same amount!0 -

So some good news ladies - Emma has got her place at Newcastle Uni. Exciting times.
That's awesome, congratulations to Emma :Tcatherine/kate wrote: »Forgive me ladies, I have splurged. I went to Boots and then Superdrug in a bad mood and came back much happier, but with many INs. Anybody going to keep me company on the naughty step?...

Lol, that is impressive :rotfl: Sounds like you got a few lovely things though. Good luck with the review this weekend.
A couple of UUs for me:
- John Frieda Sheer Blonde colour renew shampoo. WDBA - once I get through some (a huge bottle of!) Tigi shampoo I have. Great for blonde hair.
- Dove summer revived body lotion (with self-tan). WMBA. It's nice, and good value for money when on offer (which is often). Leaves a nice natural colour. But I've got body lotions I looooove, and this I just like. So I'll be experimenting with adding some tanning lotion to my fave body lotions for a while, when needed, rather than buying this.0 -
A couple more UU here:
Wilko Skin Therapy Toner
Lush snow fairy
and I throw a way a perfume I'd had 20 years:eek::eek: it smelt alright until now lolDebt free and busy treating myself:)
