Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Peach on the Beach - this was a bit too peachy and cheap looking when first applied but after some of the gloss wore off it was a nice coral colour - WNBA.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Still never got round to writing a full list! but have a few UU and no more IN's to I'm counting that as a win!
UU's -Avon advance techniques hair masque - love this, smells so good and really nice on your hair.
No.7 air brush away foundation - love this, they are the only brand that doesn't make me look orange!
Barry M Primer - can't remember the full name of this but was a really good primer.
Also had a bit of a purge and gave some old make up to my mumRead my diaryHere0 -
I have a number of INs today. First up is some INs from my Bumble and Bumble order:
Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Shampoo 60ml
Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Conditioner 60ml
Bumble and Bumble Scalp Detox 150ml
Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Shampoo + Conditioner sample
Bumble and Bumble Thickening Shampoo + Conditioner sample
Bumble and Bumble Thickening Shampoo + Conditioner sample
Bumble and Bumble Thickening Shampoo + Conditioner sample
Bumble and Bumble Thickening Go Big Treatment Spray sample 30ml
Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray sample 30ml
I only paid for the mini shampoo and conditioner and the Scalp Detox. I got a Thickening set for free because I spent so much, and you get two shampoo and conditioner samples with any order as well. A payday treat for me and my hair.
And a small FeelUnique order:
La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml
Pureology Strength Cure Conditioner 250ml
My daytime moisturiser is nearing the end, so this is a back up ready to go. And the Pureology Conditioner is to replace the one I couldn't use.
And one impulse buy this morning:
Sensodyne Gentle Whitening Toothpaste 100ml
Total impulse purchase, but I've wanted to try it for a while.
I'm going to make no purchases next month unless absolutely necessary.0 -
To end September I have:-

Ahhhhh, this month my spending has gone out of control again. Autumn blues..
A lot of INs and few outs. I will be nice in October.
Last few outs from September - a bottle of shampoo and shower gel. Also a bar of soap. All replaced from stash. I will repurpose Caudalie 3in1 moisturizer as hand cream. Not a great product but will work as a hand cream.
See you in October..ally.0 -
My last UU for the month:
The Body Shop Vanilla Chai Body Butter 200ml - Love TBS! Had this as a gift but WDB.
Tresemme Hair Mask - Can't remember what it was called but was effective and lasted a while. I enjoyed using it.
I'm making a big move so it's lucky I still have things in stash. I'm taking one of everything plus one spare then top up when I go back to visit home!No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2019 Total UU since 2016 - 396 | Total February UU - 10 -
Last report for September:
Ins:
5 x Mitchum antiperspirant sprays
1 x Eartherapy Body lotion from hotel in Uganda
1 x Chap ice Lip balm from KLM business class
2 x mini toothpastes from business class
UUs:
Primark travel dental floss - WNBA, nice product and compact size but didn't last too long. May as well stick to normal brand.
Burt's bees shea butter hand repair cream - WNB, again another hotel freebie. Sinks nicely into skin but contains no sun protection.
Pixi shea butter lip balm from a beauty box - WNB Did good enough job but nothing special and did not SPF.
Marks & Spencers True red edp hand-bag size
Sure roll-on anti-perspirant
GA
Half-bottle of boots spf30 sun spray to a colleague on a work trip in Uganda. She will need it more than me as I'm back in the good old Blighty. WNBA, not moisturising enough compared to Sainsbury's brand.0
