No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2017

:T:T:T Great news, thanks for this
Fingers crossed it's true, and Birmingham follows soon
It's double edged though as I really enjoy visiting Sephora in the US as it's different to the stores we have here. I suppose a trip into Manchester (if we get one) is cheaper than the airfare though lol.
Heads up, there's a L'Occitane up to 50% Flash Sale today only and for once there are some decent things included. Have ordered a couple of items as Christmas pressies for my friend at work and have ordered the Repairing Shampoo that I like and have been out of for ages (this was not reduced but buying it qualified me for free postage).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 everyone, not been around much as RL has been a PITA, but have caught up with all your posts and at last looked at my PP list

I need to pick up dry shampoo and the No 7 cleansing wipes before the weekend, but these should work out at 2 in 2 out I think.:DThe best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
I feel like I am doing well on using up skincare products, but struggling with make up. I’ll continue to use what I do on weekdays, need to up my game on weekends.
Re-did my PP list
TA
Finally - No7 Stay Perfect mascara, can’t be bothered with it, going old.
PP list
Rest of mini shampoos
Continue to have newer lipsticks/glosses in lockdown - working well 90% of the time!
Put newer perfumes in lockdown
Use any 1 of 3 primers on weekends
Use old Benefit High Brow on weekends
Use Mabelline bronzer (cracked) on weekends
Use MAC highlighter powder on weekends
Use any 1 of 4 palettes/pots eyeshadow on weekends

There’s the £10 worth of points on £50 spend tomorrow at Boots, this may be my downfall!0 -
Another UU/TA
Elemental Herbology night cream - nearly UU but it started to smell odd, I remember it always smelling a bit strange but I felt it turned. WNBA at first I think I really loved this, and maybe it’s just it went a bit weird, probably something better out there.
I now have no night cream, no day cream, technically no serum.
Feel like I need some new ins but like I have no money for them! Need to have a hard think about what I’ve loved using and should repurchase.0 -
Another UU for October:
Nuxe body oil WBA. Love this stuff, great fragranceNot buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN0 -
OK I have INs:
Est!e Lauder - Double Wear foundation
Mabelline - Matt Ink lipstick 05 Lotalist - I don’t think I like it :-(
Revlon - Brown/Black eyeliner
Plus dry shampoo and deo but I’m not really counting these
UU
Unknown tester shampoo - last of the mini shampoos!! Might start using up mini body creams now..0 -
