July Spending Ban - Update 1

I have to remind myself just why I'm trying not to buy any beauty products this month so I decided to attempt to sort out my 'stash' drawers.

These products are all unopened and brand new:


I have all kinds of things here from bodycare to skincare to makeup.  I have 7 unopened mascaras alone!  I have brands from St Moriz to Philosophy to L'Occitane to Elemis to Tom Ford.  My addiction to all things beauty is apparent!

I particular love all things Elemis too... in particularly their body care exotics range and I stock pile in fear that I one day run completely out:


I have a slight OCD don't I?  Do you stockpile anything whether it be beauty related or not?  For example my Mam seems to always buy tinned tomatoes but NEVER uses them so I think we have about 37 tins in the kitchen cupboard!

I do have to make a little confession though; I may have ended up at the M.A.C counter on Thursday night and I may have bought some goodies... and when I say some I mean quite a lot BUT I needed all of the items for my general well being and were therefore essential!  Seriously, I know I'm rubbish but I will try harder from now on!!! :))

  2. There is a different between need and want, and if you NEEDED the M.A.C stuff then that's cool.
    Am loving your Elemis stash xx

  3. Wow! All that unopened stuff!! Whenever I get new beauty products, I get so excited and have to open them and use them right away!

  4. Wow, I'm probably in the same boat as you. I'm trying to use a lot of my older stuff which may have just been used a few times and then forgotten about.
