This is a great deal but I bought a big 500g pot of petroleum jelly from a pound shop/99p shop about 5 years ago and it's still going strong. It's exactly the same stuff unless you like the flavoured ones (I don't really).

I just fill up my little vaseline lip therapy tin now and then from the big tub :money:

Thanks KT for starting this month's thread.

Thanks for the new thread KT2802.

I'm in for the long haul! I'm aiming for no bought ins this month, my bday is next week so I can't promise no ins at all

It's my birthday this month too so there will be INs in the form of gifts (MrM is buying me my favourite Decleor Herbal Clay Mask of which I have absolutely none at the moment so will be a nice addition to the stash). Am also hoping that I'll get a gift card from work like last year so that I can put it towards the new Smashbox eyeshadow pallette.

We're off to the Trafford Centre tomorrow (although the main reason it to try and get some discounted skiwear for Emma's Iceland trip) and I'm definitely going to go into L'occitane and pick up the handcreams. I will also buy some more Foot cream and Aftershave Balm for MrM using the 15% off voucher. I'm going to buy myself the YSL mascara that I've been lusting over all of Jan. Have £20.50 in my jar towards this.

January Totals:-
INS:
Boots Royal Jelly handwash and body lotion bought on the sale for £4.00 instead of £8.00 so equates to £2.00 a piece. Am taking these into work on Monday to replace the LE hand wash and various hand creams I have UUed (will report these last two on the Feb page as they went this morning). So am happy to report that these were not unnecessary purchases as I'm using them practically straight away. Am hoping they are OK. The handwash has SLS in it so hoping it doesn't irritate the sensitive skin on my hands.

Aussie Shampoo x 2 and Conditioner x 1 - 3 for £10.00. I had run out of shampoo totally and always buy Aussie "in bulk" when on offer. Before I bought this extra conditioner I had the following in my stash: Aussie Shine 250ml, Mark Hill Straigthening Conditioner 75ml and Tresemme Reconstructing Conditioner so I suppose not too bad. Will have to try and remember next time I need shampoo to buy 3 x shampoo and no more conditioner.

Total spend : £14.00

OUTS: 26 with only one being a give away, the rest were UUs. This month so the end of one PP list and I also shifted half of my next allotted list.

Have three UUs to report this morning already from my PP list too:-

Vaseline Hand cream - was donated to me by a colleague at work. Didn't like this at all. Felt greasy on application. Absorbed too quickly. Applied more to find that I had applied too much and my hands became sticky. Have finished it off on my arms this morning after my shower to get rid. Would not buy this.

TBS Cranberry Joy hand cream - was donated to me by Emma and I suspect it's been hanging around the house for well over a year. Smelt funny from the outset and towards the end of the tube smelt like vinegar. Finished it off my legs this morning after my shower to get rid. Would not buy this.

Elemis Neck and Bust Cream. I love this product but it's so expensive to buy in the full size. I only ever have the travel sized tubes and have another one in my stash. Am going to keep it for my holidays so I can use it after sun exposure.

My PP list looks like this now:-

[STRIKE]Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cleanser
TBS Seaweed Toner
Vaseline hand cream
TBS Cranberry Joy hand cream
LE Orange Flower hand wash[/STRIKE]
L'Occitane Verbena body scrub
[STRIKE]Molten Brown Ylang Ylang shower gel
Molten Brown Ylang Ylang body lotion[/STRIKE]
NSPA BB Cream
[STRIKE]Elemis Neck and Bust Cream[/STRIKE]

Of the last 2 items I reckon the BB cream will be next to go. It's making the pht sound and TBH it smells a bit funny. Not having adverse reaction to it so will persevere until the end.

The body scrub I reckon has a good week or so worth of product left in it.

Thank you KT for starting us off this month!
I am using Hydraluron at the mo - it definitely plumps my skin, but I find it a bit tacky when applied straight on the skin. However, when I use another Indeed Labs product called Pepta Bright (improves brightness of complexion) first then Hydraluron on top (as recommended by Caroline Hirons) it no longer feels tacky and I have really noticed a difference in my complexion. Would recommend.

sunshineyday - what do you think of the Liz Earle hair oil? I have long hair that needs a bit of oil on the ends to keep it looking healthy. I've used up all my oils and am improvising with the remaining serum in my stash but it's just not doing the trick. I tried the Liz Earle one in store - it felt a little greasy on my hands but my hair defo appreciated it. How have you found it if you have been using it yourself?

Minicooper272 - I don't think I will ever finish my lip balm stash, how did you achieve this amazing position?!
