    Forgot to mention another UU yesterday : Travel sized Liz Earle mask (the charcoal one). Emma left it behind and the tube had already been cut open. I'll replace this for her when my No Buy is over.


    I have replaced the OPI mini that I'll work on for the rest of the Finish 7 by Autumn Challenge which is OPI This is Not Whine Country. Quite a new one from the California Dreaming Collection from last Summer. This is the one that I thought was Germanicure by OPI but having put both bottles side by side it's not.
    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!

    Just received an email from Superdrug for a possible security breach on their website. They advised users to change their passwords. Just fyi.

    One UU tonight:

    Cerave Hydrating Cleanser 236ml WNBA. This wasn't for me. It left my face feeling weird after using this, so I used this up as a hand wash.

    My skincare stash is slowly decreasing. I'm also resisting the urge to buy more skincare. Which is good :)

    I need help, I've bought a lot of stuff this month, I need to scale it right back as I have more than I will probably use before it goes off, particularly make-up. The amount of eyeshadow I have is truly mad.

    I think in my current state of mind I'm far too suggestable and go for every offer that comes in that is for stuff I like!

    I'm going to declare my INs for this month in a seperate post once I've collated it all :eek: meanwhile, my outs....

    Dead Sea Spa Original Night Cream 50ml - Bought from TKMaxx, very nice and WBA for the price I paid (£4)
    Femfresh Powder 200g - HG product.
    Primark Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes x 15 - good as wet wipes, which is why I bought them.

    I'm also going to do a stash list again as it seems to help me.

    My PP list for August:

    [STRIKE]Cerave Hydrating Cleanser 236ml [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel 40ml [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Superdrug Vitamin E Moisture Boost Serum 50ml [/STRIKE]
    Superdrug Simply Pure Hydrating Night Serum 50ml
    SVR Sun Secure Hydrating Milk SPF50+ 100ml
    The Body Shop Vitamin E Aqua Boost Essence Lotion 160ml


    My updated PP list. I'm hoping to get one or two more items finished before the end of the month.

    My stash total is now at 86 items :eek: This is the lowest it's been in a while and I want to get it even smaller. I may need to order some more of my daily SPF soon, and I want to get a new cleanser to try. But I won't go overboard.

    I visited ALDI yesterday and bought a cleanser and some cotton wool pads. Both necessities. My skin feels better already for having switched cleanser. I didn't manage to get the C&P dupe but a gel cleanser which was cheaper. I still used the Murad one but used the Lacura one for a double cleanse.

  • 2 UU this evening:

    Vaseline Intensive Healing Body Lotion - WDBA, smells great and have the cocoa one to use up too! I find that the Vaseline body lotions work the best.

    Arbonne Sea Salt Detox Scrub - works really well, I would use it again, really leaves you squeaky clean! ����

    Stash is now down to 200! Really pleased with that ���� Thank you everyone for keeping me motivated ��
    Less is the new more :D
  • 200 down from 243!!
