No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2017

sunny_money

I doubt I will UU anything else this month.

Started August with 178 items, 18 TA/UU, 3 INs, ending with 163.

Really happy with my progress. I only TA when I had really tried to UU but really didn't like the product, my INs were an essential and samples, and I made a list of things I will need soon instead of buying them.

I won't have time to do a new PP list probably for a couple of weeks.

Has anyone else accidentally bought exactly the same lipstick because they forgot they already had it?

No but I'm always buying the same colour.

Devastation ladies, I've managed to knock my Gwen Stefani palette off my bathroom countertop and smash all the panned colours. So mad at myself.

Oh no, can you still use them?

I don't think I will finish anything else this month but September should see lots of uu's as I have a few things cut open or on their last legs.

One UU from last night:

Paula’s Choice Calm Redness Relief Cleanser Normal to Dry Skin sample WNBA. I decided to test this on my hands first and it was a bit too drying for me. It concerned me to see SLS as an ingredient in a cleanser marketed for drier skins

I hope no one minds but I've taken the liberty of setting up the September thread: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5702692

My scores for the month:

UUs - 18
INs - 21
OUTs - 4
TAs - 2

I need to do better next month. I'm not going to restrict my buying as I spend more when I do. So I'm just going to focus on working on as many open products in my stash as I can.

But I managed to finish all the items on my PP list this month

It's still August in my part of the world!

30mls pink grapefruit scented body lotion. Got the word Spa in the brand name. Got another one in the stash.

Tossed: Revlon Lash Blast Black Mascara. Full size. I liked it but it's been in the stash for so long I doubt they make this one anymore. Used it for four months, so time to say good bye. Will pull something out of the stash as the minis are still there.

Finished some shampoo but I don't really count those.

and fell off the handcream wagon. Bath and Body Works had a sale and six may have found their way home. BUT, I can use them as stocking stuffers for Christmas!
