    Boots expert sensitive serum 50ml used up
    Decleor eye make up remover 150ml Decleor foot cream 50ml also gone today

    Noticing a real space in my stash drawer today when I took out the next firming serum and the large Gatineau eye make up remover has left a big gap! Feel like I am getting somewhere :D

    Must make a start on the Prolegene Gels now I have stashed away (what for!), just need to use up a SBC Vit C one first :o

    Glad to see everyone's doing ok, using things up and finding space. I emptied one of my 3 boxes in the bottom of the wardrobe this morning and put the contents into one of the others, then some other stuff that was lying around in the wardrobe went into the 3rd box so no chance of filling it up with random cosmetics again :T.

    Estee Lauder mini facial wash used up on Saturday - well I didn't try very hard to get the dregs out of the tube as I really didn't like it :o
    Lush olive branch shower gel used up on Sunday - really didn't like this, very watery even when shaken as instructed - gone now though.
    Origins mini facial wash used up this morning.

    Will have to update my spreadsheet this evening and have a proper look at what I've got left. The slightly worrying thing is I seem to have gone off shopping recently - I have about £150 on giftcards and loyalty cards which I could quite legitimately spend without feeling quilty/using real money and don't seem to want to :eek:.

    Hopeful I'd take the tops back and do a straight swap - that way I wouldn't see it as breaking a NSD even if you have to add a little bit of money to make up a difference in prices.

    Hi All,

    Worked out I am now on day 64, need to update my sig! My perfume and hairstuff I thought was running out about a week ago are of the everlasting variety! They are still going strong!

    Yorkielass, I think I have gone off shopping too, which is quite worrying but at least saving a fortune!

    Well done everyone else! x

    Me too. I think something is going to have to be very special to make me hand over my hard-earned cash. And then keep the thing. Obviously, buying things and then taking them back doesn't count! That's just a waste of time!

    On another note, I had some Benefit shimmering body lotion (sealed) which I didn't think I would ever actually use. I was going to give it to a friend, but I thought I would stick it on ebay and see what happened. I started the auction at 99p. It went for £26! Thought some of you might like to try this, if you've got something of a decent brand that you don't want to use.

    Yeah! Empty spaces here we come!

    Doing this challenge persuaded a friend of mine to not buy some more shampoo and conditioner on offer for a change when she has tons of the stuff. She is thinking more about what she has stashed away.

    The word is spreading........lets spread it and save money for all, make us all happier to not expect little pots of cream, lotions and make up to make us feel better about ourselves

    Hi Everyone,

    I have finished the last of my Sensation Totale - I have used it for years and really liked it but it has been discontinued. I have a tiny tester for No7's Protect and Perfect that I will use before thinking about another serum to buy.

    I hope that I will finish the last of the Liz Earle C&P today and will start a new one tomorrow.

    I have even started to wear some of the make-up that I have stockpiled. It's really silly that I have loads of make-up just sitting there.

    I have also started to wear my contact lenses - it's been a long time since I have worn them and I have 2 boxes of daily lenses. I will start to wear these every other day to use them up.

    There WILL be some space in my drawer soon!

    Good luck on clearing those stashes everyone.

    Well no more blips and the shower gel and shampoos are slowly going - but I've had the realisation that I'm going to have to develop some everyday without fail type beauty regime if I ever want to get rid of the various moisturisers andother potions! Was wondering why they weren't going down!

    Just wanted to say how chuffed I am today!

    I have fitted my skincare stash into one drawer for the first time in ages with space in there too! :j:j:j:j

    Still have 10 sealed pots of moisturiser plus lots of travel sizes :o So getting there slowly but surely at long last!

    Whoo hooo woo hoo woo hoo! :j:j
