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!

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

TA

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.0 -
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 #wecandothis0

New thread for July set up: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/74472862#Comment_74472862
June for me was 5 UU, 5 sensible INs.0 -
My scores for the month:
UUs - 16
INs - 24
TAs - 2
OUTs - 20 -
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!
