    I have fallen into a rut of not being inspired to do much of anything with make up recently and the use ups have fall down. I am needing to up my game so I have to do a challenge. I have not really succumbed to getting new stuff, no interest in it at all this last month so the pile has not increased. I used to watch a lot of YouTube beauty videos and got a little annoyed at the obvious selling and selling out. I would have more faith in QVC than some of the morphe brush pushing youtubers as if it was rubbish totally they have to give you a refund. I feel like I need new inspiration.
    Use up two a week and use a product daily on my face or nothing will do down!.
    I forgot one give away, it is some in road on the stash and i passes on free stuff that i have limed use for and gave free samples to others before they became an in,

    So any challenges warmly welcomed!
  • August PP list:
    Any older lipstick/lip gloss - Newer lip glosses and lipsticks to remain in lock-down! Didn't miss them at all, but I do miss having a long lasting lipstick though as I still haven't replaced them.
    Need to make a decision to keep or get rid of:
    [STRIKE]Lipcote - horrible and doesn't really work. I'll persist with it but I will likely TA after this month if I still don't get on with it.
    St.Tropez - Everyday Face tan 50ml – I think this clogs my pores
    Pearl Drops - Now Smile Corrector - 5ml - old and not sure I can be bothered with it
    Bourjois - Volume Glamour Ultra Curl Mascara - 12ml - Like but the product comes out of the lid and is messy, just want it UU[/STRIKE]
    Blanx toothpaste - 75ml - annoying packaging, use weekly
    Beyond Bronze by Fake Bake – Self Tanning Mousse – 210ml – twice weekly
    [STRIKE]Kiehl's - Nashi Blossom & Pink Grapefruit Aromatic Mist - 1.5ml - one use left[/STRIKE]
    Any hair styling product used at least once per week[/QUOTE]

    Adding more to PP list:
    Benefit - Speed Brow Gel 3g - old
    No7 - Stay Perfect Mascara - 7ml

    TA
    Clearasil - Rapid Action Treatment Cream - 25ml - shared with OH, not sure if works, past expiry date

    UU
    Aussie - Dry Shampoo -200ml

    IN
    Aveeno body moisturiser sample 10ml
    Aveeno body moisturiser yogurt sample 10ml
  • TA
    Benefit - Speed Brow Gel 3g - Well that was a quick decision, basically hairspray for brows, didn't like the wet look and hard feel, I don't need this, its old and I think I have a sample of the new version anyway.

    UU
    Pantene - Conditioner - 400ml - will be using up travel sized conditioners before buying another full size.

    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!

    Hi all,

    haven't posted for a week or so, pls forgive the long post :)

    GA: 3 Manuka honey sample sachets - I had tried one and they were not for my skin
    UU: Lee Stafford hair mask for hair that just doesn't grow: WNBA, I have very fine limp hair that takes an age to grow, this was a lovely conditioner but nothing special and didnt actually make my hair grow any quicker
    UU: random sample perfume: had been in my stash so long the name had worn off! Did the trick for the handbag
    UU: this works invigorating body wash: this was a 50ml liberated from a hotel - was pleasant to use but am now onto the next from the stash

    Feel like I am making good headway at the minute - even if it is just using small travel/samples up - its still stash busting. Have a couple more items on their last legs and no ins (yet!)

    One UU from last night:

    I've had no electricity all day so I'm only getting round to posting this now.
  • I've been so busy this month, got a list of UU and Ins. I've been writing them all down in a notebook which is helping me be more accountable for what i'm buying.

    UU:
    1. Soap and Glory Foam Call Shower Gel 75ml WBA
    2. L'oreal Elvive Serum 50ml WNBA.
    3. Boots Large Cotton Wool
    4. Boots Baby Cotton Wool
    5. Lancome La Vie Belle perfume Sample WNB
    6. Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo 75ml WNBA
    7. Clean and Clear Spot Control Moisturiser 40ml WNBA. Must of had this at least 5 years or so...
    8 &9. Vo5 Smoothly Does it Shampoo and Contioner 250ml WDBA
    10. No 7 Make Up Wipes
    11. Aussie Beach Mate 3 Minute Miracle WNBA
    12. Soap and Glory Rich and Foamous Shower Gel 75ml WDBA.

    And the Ins:

    1. Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate Shower Gel
    2. Garnier Micellar Water 125ml
    3&4. Boots baby 100 cotton wool pads
    5. Primark Primer Water - I'm loving this stuff, only £2 and is helping with oil control
    6. Redken So Soft Conditioner
    7. OGX Coconut Weightless Oil Mist
    8. Argan Oil Repairing Deep Conditioner
    9&10. Sure Antiperspirant Deodorant
    11. Nivea Make up wipes.

    I've also hit pan on my Neutrogena Bronzer and Benefit's Rocketuer Blusher. It's nice to see some progress on my everyday products.

    Might have a few unnecessary Ins this weekend as i'm in Madrid for the night where there is an NYX store.
