Comments

3 UUs yesterday
Elemis PCMC HG. I have replaced it with a Decleor tinted moisturiser but am going to save it for weekends only as I don’t like the colour. Will shop my stash. Think I’ll try a Skinsense one next.
John Frieda shampoo. Restocked when doing the grocery shop yesterday. Also picked up conditioner and styling gel.
Bath and Body Works Georgia Peach hand wash. Replaced with Paradise Coconut fragrance which is gorgeous.
have made a LUSH order of various bubble bars because I’ll be bathing more now the weather is changing.
Need to return the Kat Von D foundation as the pump doesn’t work. Think I’ll get the elf one as I am going to need this in a couple of days time.
so scores for August

9 INsBack 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!

uuLee Stafford Nourishing Miracle Oil 50ml - it was neither nourishing or a miracle imo. WNBARoger & Gallet Fleur de Figeur Cologne 100ml - this is nice and lasts pretty well for a cologne, have another in the stash plus a ton of other perfume.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN4 -
I’ve been really unmotivated with my skincare routine, so no UUs but also no INs. Must make up for it in Sept because I need to make my annual Neals Yard purchase.4

The September thread is now up

One IN: I bought a Simple sheet mask...
August Total:
7 INS (2 bought with voucher, 1 gifted, 4 bought)
3 Outs (all UU)
First month all year where IN's were more than OUT's, but I think it was just one of those months where progress was slow using up stuff and I fancied some treats.
2020 totals so far:
40 INS (4 bought with voucher, 23 bought with cash, 13 NBI's - gifts)
57 OUTS (45 UU, 4 GA, 8 TA)
