    Hi

    Hope you are all OK. I joined in this challenge earlier in the year, but stopped as I was not using much due to lockdown. I’ve just been lurking for the last couple of weeks but I’ll be joining in properly from the 1st and am going through my stuff today and finalising my PP list for October and my 7 by Xmas list.

    I saw the attached on Facebook and thought it may be of interest to people on this page https://boots.scan2recycle.com/terms-and-conditions/ - some non-recycleable beauty and healthcare packaging can be taken into selected Boots stores for recycling and you can get 500 Advantage card points for 5 items per day. I’ll post this link on the October page when it’s started too.

    Thanks for that.  Not exactly handy for people in the north though which speaks volumes.
    eta - I'm criticising Boots not you Betharooni.

  • No worries @dolly84, on the zero waste page on Facebook that it came up on, a lot of people in the north, Scotland and Northern Ireland were saying about it only really catering for the south of England, so I think a lot of people share your frustration. Not sure where you all are so thought I’d post in case it’s helpful for some.

    One out used up The Ordinary Buffet, didn’t see any real benefits from using this. Maybe I’m missing something as people rave about it

    PP list

    Carried over:-
    The Ordinary Rose Hip oil
    Benefit Goofproof pencil
    MAC Prep & Prime Radiance Primer - this has got to be a gimmee for this month as it's really light now.
    Bath & Body Works A Thousand Wishes shower gel
    The Inkey List Lactic acid - another gimmee as it's feeling very light
    Colourpop lip scrub. Must try harder

    Superdrug Vitamin C hot cloth cleanser
    Elemis Rose cleansing balm
    Liz Eerle Skin Repair
    Elemis Frangipani body lotion



    Updated PP List
    The Ordinary Rose Hip oil
    Bath & Body Works A Thousand Wishes shower gel
    The Inkey List Lactic acid - another gimmee as it's feeling very light
    Colourpop lip scrub.
    Liz Eerle Skin Repair

    UU MAC Prep and Prime Radiance primer.  Do still love this however have bought the elf one to try once I'ved used up the sample sized Bare Minerals Prime Time primer.  The Lactic Acid seems to be the gift the keeps on giving.  Will consider it done for this challenge once October rolls in but the other items will be carried over.




    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!
