No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries October 2019

Happy Birthday ponypal xx

I have taken the stopper out of my Laura Geller Melon Infusion lipgloss. Does make things messy but at least I'm getting product on the wand now. This will be my 19th product finished for this year. It's easily going to beat my Bobbi Brown Shimmerbrick.

Happy Birthday ponypal.

2 UUs


Bath and Body Works Sheer Cotton and Lemonade body cream. Lovely scent. Not sure I would buy again. Not opposed to using again but there are so many scents to choose.


Marc Jacobs mascara. This was awful. Really dry formula and stupid hourglass wand. Definitely would not repurchase.

I am still using the old version of the forum as well, the green coloured one.

I use that version too, as the 'new' version when they last re-launched it didn't have a way to jump to the newest post, which really annoyed me, and is fairly essential I thought. The old green version does do that

One UU from this morning:

The Body Shop Shea Body Butter 200ml WDBA and will do on payday. I use this everyday, I love this for my feet.

I have treated myself to the Urban Decay Born to Run palette as it’s on sale on the UD website.

I have used loads since I last posted.
I was really bad and bought Aveda shampoo and conditioner in cherry almond.



I need to update my stash list but this is what I'm finding.
I'm not using skincare enough. I have loads of masks and sheet masks that never go down. I must stick to a skincare routine until it's a habit. I have a year or more of No 7 skincare. I also have bits and pieces from Birch Box.



I am using body lotion. I couldn't work out why I could never get rid of moisturisers. I worked out this year that I like lotions but not butter so I'm going to get rid of the butters.



I haven't used up much hand cream but realised this is a seasonal thing and I will use up what I have between now and spring. I used lots last year.


This year I have used lots of bubble bath and shower gel and a few hand washes.



I'm going to have a destash of things I don't like and offer them on facebook. Then I'll redo the stash list. I'll also start using the face care or it will go off.



So many lovely Christmas sets makes this tough! And my local Waitrose just started selling Philosophy shower gels!


Usually I use my Christmas money to buy No 7 skincare as the January prices make the gift sets cheaper than buying tubs of moisturiser but I haven't touched what I bought last year. I'm going to put the present money in my treats bank account and buy luxury items when I've run out. In 2020 I think it will be ages until I need anything!

I spent some time doing some stock take.
I decided to get rid of lots of things that I wasn't using or had gone a bit funny. I've put some Champneys and Joules things up for sale.


The situation isn't that bad though! I'm surprised. Quite a few things have one thing in use and one back up. Except toner. I have two in use and two backup.


I'll do a PP list in November. I want to use up hand creams, shower gels(lots of minis), body lotions and a couple of perfumes. Apart from that I think I may finally be out of this...



I've actually got less face cream than I thought. 50ml of both day and night in 25ml containers. But 3 50ml no 7 serums and an 89 by Vichy.

Good progress dawn1980! I'm tempted by some of the gift sets but honestly, I can't bring myself buying them.

One UU : Estee Lauder - Advance Night Repair. This was part of a set I believe. I do like it but prefer Double Serum from Clarins over this.
