No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries December 2019

UU Aveda pramasana purifying scalp cleanser
- this was a NBI passed on to me by my mum. I really enjoyed using it, I sometimes used it and then skipped shampoo, but the directions do recommend to use shampoo after it. I used it weekly for a while and would see a big difference! Decided to start using it every time I washed my hair over the past few months and I think my hair got used to it but I still like it.
I would consider buying again but I have a lot of scalp products to get through first.1 -
December Update:
16 IN’s (2 NBI’s and 14 Purchased - bulk of which were LUSH sale but all planned purchases!)
7 OUTS (2 TA and 5 UU)
2019 running total
66 INs of which
24 are NBI's
and 42 were purchased
95 OUTs of which
11 GA
9 TA
and
75 UU
So less ins than outs which was my main goal!
Absolutely buzzing about this. I hope this can continue next year too, as I still have a few multiples in some categories but am almost in a one in one out situation which is awesome.
Will count up and post a 2020 stash list on the new thread but thanks all this has been my most successful New Years resolution thanks to the commitment of everyone here to keep at it!

Am pleased with December progress, 11 UU and 5 IN.
Total for 2019 is 113 UU and 64 IN. Started with 146, ended with 97.
My stash is now under 100 items which was a recent aim and now all fits in a much smaller space in the spare bedroom.
Hopefully good work will continue in 2020, may even start to look at the make up stash which will be a much harder UU task.

Rich Girl eyeshadow from Chocolate Gold palette
MAC Dare You lipstick
NARS Gilda Blush
NARS Outlaw Blush
Rollin In Dough from Chocolate Gold palette
Stila Bubbly from In The Light palette
Hourglass bronzer from the Edit 4 palette
With the exception of the MAC lipstick I've been using the other items fairly consistently. Rich Girl and Bubbly are quite soft and bigger pan is being made.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!
