No Buying Toiletries - August 2022

@kadison yep, I'm with you, you're not alone! Love makeup, love skin care, and like to treat myself every now and then with it (I may have gone a bit mad and ordered 3 eyeshadow palettes that are currently winging their way to me....when they arrive, I'll add them here). I don't see that fully changing, BUT doing this group has helped so much!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so much more thoughtful in my purchases, and my stash has reduced a good chunk since starting this. It'll never be fully empty I'm sure, but it's manageable, and the use-it-up mentality makes me feel good.
UU- The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil: Love this, use it nightly. Bought in Feb, finished in Aug, so the little bottle took 6 months to finish as you don't need much (although now I think about it, Feb is purchase date and I'm not sure which date I started using it....). WDBA, but I have my jojoba/sea buckthorn oil to try out next. I may repurchase once I've used up a chunk of the J/S mix, so I can mix in some rosehip too for some superpower anti-aging!

uuSuddy Nora Bar Soap - this was a small slice of soap, sort of guest size, I brought this home from a recent holiday. Lots of lather but not a huge amount of scent, I've put another slice in the bathroom, I think that one is Lemon and Cedarwood.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

- Mad about Skin Maximum Impact Moisturiser: This is lovely- thick and feels very nourishing for my PM moisturiser. Got the replacement the other week, so I'm good to go!
- Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Fragrance free 4 hr water resist lotion: 1 down, 1 to go (from my buy 1 get 1 half price bought last month)
- Mizon Joyful Time Essence Mask- Cucumber: Nice sheet mask. I think it was part of a set. Probs wouldn't buy it specifically, but it was alright so if I bought another set with it in, that'd be fine!
Throw Away- Dr Organic- Skin Clear Tea Tree Deep Pore Charcoal Mask: Wanted to do a clay mask, and found this one in the stash, but I try to avoid tea tree now since I had a bit of a reaction to a tea tree product a while back. It's got a load of citrus oils too, so this is a pass for me. Will need to scout out a clay mask that's a bit more basic I think
- CND Vinylux- Long wear top coat: Gone too goopy and hard to work with, so this is done
My eyeshadow beauties are arriving today- I am excited!!!Jan Grocery Challenge 2023: £181.18/£400
