No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries September 2018
Comments
-
One UU this morning:
Sensodyne Repair & Protect Whitening Toothpaste 75ml WDBA and will do once I've worked through the other two toothpastes in my stash. I think it makes my teeth look whiter but it's probably a placebo effect.0 -
Finish 7 by Autumn
UD Easy Blush - done
MAC Brave - done
Benefit Boing Concealer - done
Marc Jacobs Sonic Truth mini lipstick
UD Darkhorse from Naked 1
OPI min This is Not Whine Country
Wet n Wild yellow powder
Avon eyeshadow
This challenge is over in two days and I can't see that I'll make any further progress. All products still ongoing. Have a sizeable dip in the UD eyeshadow but no pan and the jelly formula OPI seems to last longer than crème finishes. Can't see any difference in the Avon eyeshadow.
Did finish three items though so not bad overall.
Is anyone up for a Finish 12 by Christmas?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!

3. Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer
4. Laura Mercier Brown Eyeliner
5. Soap & Glory Cheekmate

One UU tonight:
Dentek Silky Whitening Floss Picks 75 count WDBA and will do. These are nice and do the job when I'm tired.0 -
Thank you for the new thread and I'm in as usual. This time I have a PP list:
[STRIKE]Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray[/STRIKE]
Clinique Chubby Stick - Super Strawberry
[STRIKE]Murad Eye Lift Firming Treatment[/STRIKE]
Erno Laszlo Firm & Lift Essence Lotion Deluxe Sample
[STRIKE]Gatineau Collagene Serum 5 ml[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Ordinary Caffeine Eye Serum[/STRIKE]
Chubby Stick is mostly finished. I will use it till end of the month and then chuck it.
Cut open my Clarins Anti-Wrinkle SPF Face Cream. This is my favourite. However, I also took advantage of Beauty Pie bonus and became a member, ordered their SPF now. I will declare INs once they are delivered.
I purchased a lipstick yesterday. Clarins - Spicy Chilly. I love this tone of red and it suits me nicely. I also bought Clarins Toning Lotion and this qualified for their current free gift. This includes full-size body lotion, relaxing body oil, travel size hydrating cream and lip oil.
I have also UU'ed Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment. I find the scent a bit odd and not sure if it is worth the price. This was a GWP anyway and I'm happy to use if I receive it in the future but I prefer TBS hand creams I believe. Replaced with a different one from the stash.ally.0 -
I was doing really well on my September no-buy but then googled my HG cleansing oil (L'oreal extraordinary oil one), found it was on offer, and bought 2 bottles. I've nearly finished my last facial cleanser and would have had to buy some in October anyway (but a no buy should still be a no buy and I'm a bit cross with myself!)
UU: Dove 2 in 1 shampoo & conditioner - HG
Rimmel Stay Matte foundation - TA the very last bit - this was HG until either they tweaked the formula/colour or I became fairer, gave a really flawless finish and stayed put all day. I'm sure this used to be perfect but now it is just too orange, and I'm already using the lightest shade.0
