No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries April 2018

One UU tonight:

GUM Soft Pick WMBA. These are nice but I probably won't buy them again

Hello, I have just stumbled on the wonderful board and it might be just what I need to get through my never ending supply of products, I have been getting better at using things up but still have a steady supply of items coming in too. I have a real weakness for gift with purchase items and make-up in general. My challenge for the weekend to have a good look through everything and see what I can UU!

Another UU : Kat von D Lock It Foundation. Love this though I think I'm going to try using the pot of Balance N Brighten I have instead as the weather is getting warmer (supposedly).

We are taking Emma back to Newcastle this weekend but when I return I need to order my Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser or buy it as my foundation is oxidising on my nose due to my oiliness so I obviously need it.

Welcome. GWP offers are my weakness too. Taking stock of what you have is a good place to start. X

Welcome. I used to be the same with GWP items but now I actively avoid them, all those little things that you will probably never buy in full sizes seemed a bit pointless to me in the end.

Welcome

There is a charity named Smart Works and they help low-income women to be interview-ready by providing smart clothing, make-up and accessories including bags and shoes.

They will be collecting in the office next week and I'm planning to donate some products that I know I won't be using anytime soon. I have so far earmarked an Eyeko Mascara, an NYC lipstick that i bought from Poundland and a Body Shop lip butter. So 3 GA for now.

It’s my 1 year anniversary on this thread! Proud of myself for sticking with the challenge. I started with 196, now down to 132. Thats about 5 Outs a month on average, happy with that! I suspect this Out rate will slow down over the next year.

Welcome Snorfing Along.

UU - Aussie leave in conditioner - this lasted about 5 years.
But also consequently IN - Lee Stafford Blow & Go Genius Lotion (why do these things have such silly names?)

Re little GWPs - I quite like these as I stand more chance of using up a sample sized eyeshadow or lipstick, say, than a full size one. But I did at one point build up a stash of full sized stuff that was more or less just bought for the GWPs! Getting better at resisting these now!
