No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries August 2018

kadison sorry about your cats. You have nearly as many OUTs as INs which is pretty OK in my book
OUTs:
RImmel waterproof mascara - been in use for 6 months
No 7 eyeshadow in Gold Truffle - 2nd uu in this 8 shade palette, 2 more usable colours to go that I have already hit pan on
Hotel mini shower gel
Champneys gel eye masks - these were nice but I don't much like the whole masking thing
And INs:
3x Dove 2 in 1 shampoo & conditioner
Lush Olive Branch shower gel
L'oreal extraordinary oil cream
2x Aveeno body lotion
- all HG items that I have no backups of and get through fairly quickly
Mac face & body foundation - only seem to have a few uses of my current foundation left and still looking for my HG
Now on a no buy until the end of September.
Was very tempted by the No 7 freebie, looks like a pretty nice neutral combination of blusher and eyeshadow, but talked myself down i) I don't need it because I have loads of neutral blusher & eyeshadow ii) in order to qualify I would probably have bought more neutral blusher or eyeshadow which guess what, I have loads of already. Maybe in 2022.0 -

My 7 by Autumn list
1. Bourjois CC Cream
2. Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Plum Russian
3. Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer
4.[STRIKE] Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick[/STRIKE]
5. Soap & Glory Cheekmate
6. Revlon Photo Finish Powder
7. Avon Glimmerstick Eyeliner in Black
My updated lists. The Ren cleanser will definitely be finished this month but I'm not so sure about the other items. Of the 7 by Autumn items, the CC cream will be finished, I've barely touched the lip crayon, the concealer just goes on and on, as does the Cheekmate. I'm hardly using the powder but there isn't much left so I could use it up but I don't really need it, I will call the eyeliner done I think at the end of the challenge as it has broken and is fiddly to use now - it is a nice eyeliner though.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I purchased all three boosters in the sale recently as I love them, perhaps they're repackaging them?
I thought so too, I will ask a Clarins counter next time I'm out for shopping.I have that and I love it! But I do like colourful eyeshadow....
Me too but I wear extensions nowadays and will not be replacing them anytime soon. Meaning no eye make-up for me
Which magazine you got your freebies from?
1 UU this weekend from me - Elvive Colour Protect shampoo. It really makes a difference. WBA once I'm out of shampoo.
Also UU - pack of Nivea facial wipes and Imperial Leather Foamburst Shower gel. Have more of both in stash. I'm using facial wipes only if needed so will be a while before I UU all of my packs.ally.0 -
One UU tonight:
Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel 40ml WPNBA. This wasn't for me. It's a nice cleanser but I don't enjoy it.
That's another item off my PP list.0 -

Another UU: Batiste Original Dry Shampoo. Have spare ready.
We took Emma grocery shopping yesterday as she is back at Uni for a couple of weeks to do re-sits and I know I picked up some cotton wool pads but they did not make it home with us. Also, she has taken the Cleanse & Polish back with her and left me her Murad cleanser that she does not get on with anymore. Not sure I get on with it as my skin has been a bit dry since I started using it so will venture to ALDI on the way home on Wednesday or maybe on the way in tomorrow when I have time (as it's quite a walk from work - I wouldn't make it there and back at lunch). No buy still strong though.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!

So looks like Clarins discontinuing Boosters. I found the Detox Booster for half price and purchased 2 of them. 500 drops in each should last me for a while
Oh no!:(:(
