No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries January 2019
Comments

            9 No 7 Sugar Syrup nail colour
 10 OPI Envy the Adventure mini
 11 OPI Snow Glad I Met You
 12 ABC Cleansing bar
 All sold and out of my collection. I did start my inventory/stash list at the weekend and actually catalogued all my nail colours (oh, how the long Winter nights fly by). I certainly don't need any more. I'm not so sure that I will get rid of any more either though. Will continue this job tomorrow night when MRM is away. Need to inventory items in use in the bathroom next.
 I'm awaiting payment for another ABC Cleansing Bar however will keep the other as back up in case it takes me a while to find a good deal when the new bottle has been used up.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!

            13 OPI Miso Happy With This Color I think this is too old. I painted my nails twice with this today and had to remove it twice as the lacquer just peeled off my nails. Sad as it's such a lovely colour that's been discontinued.
 Have repainted my nails and am wearing OPI My Address is Hollywood. I never used to like this colour however today it looks good. Funny how taste changes.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

            One UU from last night:
 Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask 3ml sample WMB as a full size but I'm undecided. I might get the smaller tub to try if I find I want to try it again in a few months time. But for now, I don't think I'll buy it.0

            Have been working hard at getting a body moisturiser and exfoliator finished this month but have only made a bit of headway so far but proud of my progress because I’m a lot more mindful of my stash. I’m enjoying this! It’s mostly samples so I shouldn’t be too excited!
 Boots face wipes.
 Lush golden wonder WBA
 Yog log WNBA really sticky!
 L’Or!al hair cream sample
 L’Or!al extraordinary oil sample (not sure what was so extraordinary!)
 Herbal essences Aegean oil shampoo and conditioner sample WBA and have loads full size in stash
 L’Or!al pre shampoo scrub WNB was really strange! Like an exfoliator for hair
 Palmers coconut shampoo sample - smelt nice and did the job
 Lush cupcake fresh face mask HG
 So...? Perfume WNBA bit sweet
 Emporio Armani perfume sample. Not sure what this was, but smelt nice just not long lasting0

            Some more UUs
 Nuxe scented shower gel WNBA Got loads and this was delicious sample from sub box
 Gatineau Peeling Expert WDBA but only once used all other exfoliants and peels from stash
 Percy and Reed Hair Mask WNBA Nothing to write home about and got LOTS of hair care stuff to work through ��
 Been unsubscribing from LOADS of emails so not to get tempted with beautifully budget busting beauty stuff ����0

 I’ve been working through my OPI stash and trying to paint my nails more. I am going to sell all my Infinate Shine as they are all brand new bar a few swathed and I have all proper gel stuff now. I’ve got rid of anything that was too gloopy to use thinner on and anything I really really don’t wear. Still too many I’m sure but I do love my OPI 😍0

 Same here. Need to stop looking on Facebook as well too really. I feel quite positive about the No Buy this time though. Mind you, I'm usually OK until it gets to pay day and then I feel I have to treat myself.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

            I just came across Hannah Louise Poston's youtube channel! Anyone else seen this? It's quite close to what I did last year but I am definitely planning on commiting to 'No Buy' in 2019
 Yes, I really like her videos, although if she didn't ramble so much they could be half as long and just as good!
 TA: Clinique Nude Pop lipstick. This had about 2mm left in it and had gone a bit funny, it was making my lips sore.0

            UU: Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels - these were in with my xmas gifts but I found them kind of creepy WNB! They are vegan though so recommend them if you like this sort of thing.0
