So far I have used up mostly 'dregs':
1 lush bubble bar,
last of benefit bath powder *sniff*
1 bottle space.nk bath oil
some random bath/eye tea bags
1 body lotion
2 x mini sanctuary moisturisers (these hadn't been opened)
1 mini tube toothpaste
1 sachet intensive hair conditioner (also hadn't been opened)

WELL DONE!!!!!!!! :T:T:T

To those Lush addicts, I too love their stuff but can resist the bath ballistics etc very easily as they are soooo expensive for just one bath! :eek: Remember that the next time you're tempted!

So I have resolved to use a face mask at least every 2 days (rotating between moisturising and clarifying types), use hand, elbow and foot creams as often as poss and use body lotion EVERY DAY without fail.

That's a great idea - just make sure you don't overdo it.

Normal skins can take exfoliation/a mask 2-3 times a week, but sensitive/oily skin should only be done about once a week - very sensitive even less.

I've been slathering on the body lotion every time I go into my room and using hand cream every time I wash my hands. Should still be here by Christmas though with the amount I've got :rotfl:

That comment just made me reach for the hand cream. Then I realised my keyboard would get sticky, so I'm now typing, then going for it! :rotfl:

Definitely worth keeping a tube/jar of handcream in bathroom/bedroom/kitchen/handbag/lounge/work.............now how much does that get rid of?!

Using up a shower gel before I open another
Decanted 2 opened bath foams into one and got rid of the "empty"

*cold turkeying*

Making the FCUK products eBayable (8 to get rid of).

Donating one bottle of bath foam to local charity (they collect new stuff over the year and make gift baskets for sale/raffles).

Almost finished a St Tropez. It's not really tanning season though

So my Saturday evening was spent emptying all of my bathroom cupboards/sills and baskets. I brought everything downstairs and sorted through the lot of it. I then listed it and separated things into the thousands of toiletry bags I possess. Why is that? I suppose people buy you a gift set and it comes with a toiletry bag so you keep it. I figure that I will get rid of the toiletry bags as I'm able to empty them- what do you all think?
I threw away some things but not many. My best use of time was making a bag of bath stuff, a basket of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel etc. I forgot to bring my list into work tonight but will bring it if I remember tomorrow night.
So far, I have got rid of : 2 opened bottles of contact lens fluid and 3 lens cases (DH's). 1 tube of foot soak (used as a bubble bath). 2 shower gels (dregs of one mixed with water and used to clean the bath, the other was nearly finished by me so got rid of the pump and left it on its side. Mixed it with water and used it to wash the kids last night. Seems a bit mad but I have opened a new conditioner. It's the oldest one we have and we all hate fructis but it has to be used up. DH bought it thinking it was shampoo. When it is used up then I will drag out the tresemme one again for a bit and put it back to use a tea tree one. The problem with the tresemme one is that it's so big. It always falls of the edge of the bath and drives us mad!!!
Lots of hair stuff to use up- will bring some into work tomorrow. Have lots of trevor sorbie straightening products I was given for christmas. I never straighten my hair though!
