    Final INs, I have had a £58 HoF voucher sitting around since September 2016 and was saving it for a good skincare offer BUT once I heard HoF were in trouble, I thought it best to spend the voucher ASAP!

    IN
    Lavera Basis Sensitiv handcream 20ml mini - free
    Lavera Badis Sensitiv body lotion sample - free

    UU
    Dove shower foam in pistachio - shared with OH, WNBA
    Mini toothpaste
    Deodorant

    TA
    Blanx toothpaste - half used, going off, terrible packaging WNBA.

    TA/GA
    Body Shop Seaweed Toner - too much for my skin I think sadly

    Seventeen Stay Time Foundation in soft ivory - wrong shade and patchy finish, oh well it was worth a try

    Last month I started with 136, and although I lost track of counting a bit this month, I think Im ending with 130. Im happy with this after months of remaining about the same and I even stocked up on bargain dry shampoo and got a few sample freebies.

    I thought Id compare what I started with - 196 (15/04/2017) to what I have now - 130 (30/06/2018) - its a reduction of 1/3 exactly! #slow&steady #wecandothis :D

    Totals for June:-

    UU: 15

    TA: 7 (mostly nail lacquers)

    INs: 8 - all essentials with the exception of the nail colour I bought.

    Not a bad month. I've already fessed up to my ordered INs on July's thread but again they are "essentials".
    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!
