    I hit pan in 2 more items -

    Bare Minerals Mineral Veil Pressed powder

    Urban Decay X Gwen Stefani Hush blush (though Im using it as bronzer).

    I placed an order with QVC yesterday. My lovely sister usually gives me Percy & Reed products at Christmas however this year she didnt. Im near the end of my current tube of WOW primer and on checking my stash found its the last one. I have numerous leave in conditioners and thats it for haircare. So I ordered the TSV Kit yesterday which should last me at least 6 months. I looked at my QVC account and spookiky the last order I placed was on the same day last year!
    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!

  • That is spooky!!

    My totals for the month look rather skew-y.  In my defence I still had some birthday money which I spent, so a number of the INS were with gift money rather than my own paycheck. :|

    INS: 24 (EEEEK!  9 gifts (mostly nail polish), 12 replacements, 3 non-replacement items I wanted)
    OUT: 14 (1 throw away, 13 UU including 2 lipbalm items which I am particularly proud of!)

    So my stash of stuff grew by 10 items.......  Not my finest month :D

    My totals - UU 14 non make up items and 5 make up items.

    18 INS- 7 were skincare items - 6 of which were brought straight into rotation, 6 items on the Bath & Body Works sale and 6 haircare items. One of these will be brought directly into use. 

    I only need my ELF concealer and ABC body wash this month. I have a bottke of Sanex shower gel that ive brought out to use in tge meantime.
