Fwiw, I like travel size bottles rather than new products: I like to take tried and tested things with me, just in case! If I am taking hold luggage, even if for a weekend, I take a whole bottle of each of my two most important hair products and stuff. If I'm hand luggage only, I tend to buy new bottles of some stuff, e.g. frizz ease, airside, as travel bottles tinyness of such vital ingrediants scare me!

I had to nip into Boots today to buy some travel sized bits for the holidays. I bought Aussie shampoo and conditioner and toothpaste. And I didnt buy any S&G stuff or anything else! The bad news is I went into the attic to get my suitcase and spotted a cardboard box that I didnt recognise. My heart sank when I looked inside. It looks like a stash belonging to DD. I gave up after retreiving a bag with about 30 nail varnishes in it. I have no idea how it got up there! Will deal with it on my return.

Catch up with you all on my return :wave:

I know this sounds so tight, but sav the bottles and bring them home, so that you can refill them from the stash on the next trip. I have been known to tip out rubbish hotel minis and refill with the stuff I use at home.

nothing else been used up at all today, but about to have a shower and will try to use up that Loreal exfoliating treatment.

ETA- just tidied out my office and found 2x neals yard cleaners and 2x neals yard moisturisers SIGH

Might sell these actually im not keen on the smell.

Well I must say I am inspired by all this, although saying that I had a huuuuuge clearout of my random bathroom basket at the weekend of all the stuff that had gone manky or that I couldn't use as it made my skin go odd.
I am now having a strict policy of using something up first then replacing it, and my worst habit ,keeping empty bottles in my baskets and drawers!
I used to have that many shampoos but then I started using Aveda Shampure and I would never use anything else now. It costs a little more but it has saved me buying loads that never seemed to work

I have to hang my head in shame, I thought that I had gathered everything together, then I went into the bathroom and cleared out the 2 cabinets. I've found cleansers, facial washes, conditioners, body scrubs etc. Also found a micro-dermabrasion kit that I really wanted, unused and it cost over £20!!

Took a Boots passion flower and cupuacu hand cream in a pump dispenser to work last week, I have had it nearly 2 years, all the ladies in the other offices keep nipping in for a squirt, but I have just caught my makle chauvenist boss having a quick squirt while I was making the tea.....he said it smelt nice :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Might bring in some moisturiser for him now...

I've been using that one too - smells really nice but it's a bit greasy I find. Had it since Christmas 2008. :rotfl:

So I used up the rest of that tube of body cream. Then found a sachet of intensive hair conditioner thats been rattling around as a holiday one and not used, so used it up. Found 2 really old eye pencils, straight into the bin.

Used a different bare essentials today, boy just too mmm orange! Will (may) use the rest of it up tomorrow and then gone. As I declutter the house I keep finding more stuff. An old lip balm turned up yesterday.:o

I found an old receipt yesterday, £9 for nothing, just bits and pieces in Savers...

Keep going everyone.:A

Lol - I had a quick delve into my dressing table drawers earlier on and then wished I hadn't! Binned a few bits and pieces - dried up and ancient mascara etc. found a clinique and an Estee Lauder GWP eyeshadow both of which are unused and may go on eBay. Dug out an old Botanics create your own eyeshadow pallette which I must make the effort to attack....on the other hand I do have other - closer to being finished - eyeshadows so I may swap for one of those instead. Can't quite work out when I went from making a bit of an effort with makeup for work to slapping on a bit of foundation, having a whisk over the top with a powder brush, mnascara and lipgloss only. I've never gone for the full face of slap but I did at least used to stretch to a bit of eyeshadow! :rolleyes: I've been wearing perfume again the last week or so though - My bottle of Cerrutti is falling fast! Might switch them around a bit - I have several to get through!
