HI Everyone

Just popping in to say Hi and Well done to everyone.

I haven't finished any more toiletries but haven't really bought anymore. I needed to buy some rash cream to use as a moisturiser as I am have been suffering in the heat.

I also haven't bought any chocolate (unless you count chocolate covered ice-cream!).

Not long til go the next challenge - waving to you all.

mini estee lauder eye make up remover used up yesterday - which I'm glad about as it hurt my eyes if I put too much on the cotton pad. I'm going to get the simple one magni recommended on here next - no more in my stash.

The Simple one is great and so cheap. A top tip to save more money is to use damp cotton wool for make up removal. If you are using cotton discs, soak them under the tap, then squeeze the excess water out. Mosts discs can then be further split into 2 (some of the cheap ones it's hard to do this to). Just peel the disc apart and hey presto you have 2 discs:T

With having the discs already wet means that your expensive (or cheap) product will not be absorbed completely into the cotton wool but will sit on top of the cotton disc where you need it;)

I know we are all about using stuff up here but for future reference this is great:D I hope it makes sense.

Must rmember to updatwe my signature. Can't believe we're getting close to the end of the challenge and I've hardly made a dent in my toiletries stash or in the pile of books I have to read (and I suspect a new birthday present one will be waiting for me when I get home today!). This challenge is definitely making me think before I buy though and I fully expect that I'll be in the next one, as a more active poster, with similar aims - although I think I may allow magazine buying but I still have a few days to decide that.

Right another using up little update!

First Umberto Gianni Beauty Secrets Overnight Beauty Moisture Balm - absolute rubbish IMHO - made no difference what so ever! Bought it when it was 2 for £7 and the other finishing product is as bad.

Also finished off the following;

Radox Deoderant
Jergens Body Lotion
Decleor Tan Accelarator

That's probably it for a while, just about to start a an opened jar of Hope in a Jar.

Good luck vibes sent for tomorrow in avoiding the Liz Earle TSV!

Well done on using up more stuff FedUp, I wish I could use things up a bit faster!!! No TSV for me today, as you said the other day, too many travel sizes, and its all stuff I either already have or don't want/need, so another success for me

I got the Simple one too and its really good... doesn't hurt my eyes at all, and gets the make=up off really well!

Ooo, didn't think of soaking the discs first, thats a great idea. I usually cut mine in half (using up a stash of the bigger oval pads at the mo) but will defo be soaking them from now on.... I only have one eye make up remover, so want this one to last so I don't have to buy another one for a while!

I don't feel like I've made a big dent either, and I've done one whole challenge, and half of another one! So I will definately be doing toiletries again next time! Now, where's my list........

Well done on the weight loss ilovetea! That's fab!

I have used up another toothpaste this morning, still got loads of stuff to use but determined not buying anything else unless have no choice. Have done well with the clothes too, need a few vest tops for hols but that's about it, reckon should cost no more than £10. Looking forward to the next 100 day challenge already!

Well done everyone else x

Thanks for the tip Magni :T will try that out.

Had a bath and a bit of a use up session yesterday:

• 1 bath bomb from Lush
• 1 sachet of foot scrub from Natural Collection I bought reduced about 2 years ago.
• 1 sachet of foot lotion that went with above.
• Finished my tube of Origins face mask - so all the ones I was part way through when I started this challenge have gone - now on to the rest of the stash :rolleyes:
• Shampoo and Conditioner finished - so no shampoo/conditioner left now from my pre challenge stash :T and onto the bargainous bits I got from Avon the other week

So I am making progress :-)

15 days to go - just eaten a homemade lunch at work, so feeling pleased. To be honest, don't even think about it any more, it's just what I do.

Good luck all with the last fortnight.
