No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries July 2018
Comments

Hello ladies,
Not posted in ages because I haven't turned on my laptop and don't like typing long messages on my tablet! Just made it for the July thread
7 UU
BS Moringa shower gel, was nice enough but I have way too many SG still to get through
SD tea tree spot stick, WNBA only bought this when the deep action blemish gel was OOS, fingers crossed I'm having a blemish free skin spell atm anyway!
Maybelline Fit foundation sample, this was a mini sample tube and lasted FOREVER!
L'Occitane Cherry blossom body lotion, WNBA I wouldn't pay their prices for a lotion again and I hate those diamond shape bottles, they always crack on me
SD anti dandruff shampoo, WNBA not that effective at cleaning my hair, certainly not the same as H&S
OPI hand lotion, WNBA, finally finished my 6 sample bottles up after 2 years of shaving my legs with it!
Lush Karma soap sample.
And not many Ins, nothing too extravagant or unnecessary anyway!No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018

Last UU for July was No7 Makeup remover wipes 6/70
Figures for the month are UU 6/70, IN 0/23, TA 0/2, GA 0/5
I carried 3 items over to this month
30ml Clinique Moisture Surge tinted moisturiser spf15
30ml Pestle & Mortar Superstar Retinol Night Oil
200ml Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Oil
Each time I am tempted by a 20% discount or a great QVC offer I go and check the stash and plan what I will use when I next have a UU, it is working well for me this year.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
Buxom White Russian lipgloss. WNB this formula again. Not a fan of tingling sensation but would buy from brand again and, in fact, have another lipgloss by them.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
