No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2017

UU
15ml Clarins SOS Concentrate 13/87 (Have another ready to use)

Going away for a few days next week so started packing/adding to my toiletries bag. I am wading through all my sample and GWP sized stash, still have a long way to go and coming towards the end of our holiday season, but am determined to keep using all the cute small sizes and then when I go away re-fill from full sizes in daily use.

Used 2 sachets of serum, one night one day, no more sachets left now:j

I still feel the need to buy something every so often, and have 9 INs for August, but 8 of those are regular use items and the 9th was part of the bundle. I should now have enough cleanser, toner, treatments, serum and moisturiser for the remainder of this year, need to sit on hands until after the New Year:D

Hello everyone, I'd like to join this challenge.

I'm a bit late to the party, but welcome Dawning! This is a great challenge for helping to declutter. I've got so much more space now (as well as better skin and a healthier bank balance - win win win )

Some recent UUs - likely to be my final ones this month.

- Erno Laszlo White marble translucence cream. WNB - got this free to try out, but not impressed with it. Sinks in ok, but no better than, and not as nice as, PCMC - and it's almost double the price :eek: Also does nothing for hyperpigmentation, which it's designed to treat. So that's not good.
- Elemis pro collagen advanced eye treatment. WNBA - fine, but nothing special. Lasts well, sinks in fine etc, but just not doing anything for me. Have another in stash to UU anyway.
- Clinique Take the day off mini (30ml). WDBA - love this, HG, shifts everything without irritating my sensitive eyes. But I have other things in stash to use. I'll keep an eye out for more free/cheap minis of it though
- Balance Me radiance face oil mini (10ml). WNB - I've tried much nicer face oils. This just wasn't that pleasant, particularly the smell.
- Aldi Lacura double sided cotton pads. WDBA - cheap and cheerful. Already replaced
- Colgate toothpaste.
- John Frieda foam hair dye. WDNBA - regretting buying this. So hard to apply to roots accurately, and so messy compared to my HG (Olia). Annoyed at myself for buying it - not worth the £1 I saved over Olia.

And some INs, but all essential (though the dye was a mistake)
- Aldi Lacura cotton pads twin pack
- toothpaste
- John Frieda hair dye x 2. Will use the second, then never buy again.

I have an out

Ojon Rare Blend Oil - sold this as it did nothing for my hair, one drop showed no results, anymore than that and my hair was super oily. WNBA.

maddie - have a lovely holiday.

Another one has bitten the dust:-

1 litre Australian Bodycare Skinwash 14/88 HG have another one ready.

Another good month for UU, I hope that I can keep focused on using body lotion/butter and hand cream as we get nearer to Winter, I always find it easier to skip the body stuff when the weather is cold:o:

A UU to report:

Nivea Pearl & Beauty Roll On Deo 50ml WPNBA. I'm glad this is finished. It's been making my arm pits itchy lately. Hm..

And an IN to report:

Paula's Choice Calm Redness Relief Normal to Dry Skin Moisturiser 60ml My No Buy August has gone terribly wrong. I've bought more because I'm restricting myself. Agh. I bought this to have something more nourish in Autumn/Winter. I enjoyed this when I used it, so I thought, because it had 15% off and Free Delivery on any order for the Bank Holiday weekend, I thought stuff it and bought just that.

I used up my bottle of Kind Natured shampoo. None in stash but going to use Emma's Aussie.

I have also hit pan on the Hush blush in my Urban Decay Gwen Stefani palette. Not sure if I'm getting close on the Easy blush too. Can't tell if I'm looking at sparkly bits or silver pan!
