    one UU for me body shop pink grapefruit body butter WIBIA? yes wasn't to sure of the fragrance at first but in this weather its quite nice. wont need to buy for a while as i have 35 of them in my stash although different fragrances.

    I've got a small tub of part used BS pink grapefruit body butter which I like but I stopped using it after OH asked (with a screwed up face) what I'd been using. He said it left the bedroom smelling like cat's p***. :eek: Charming! But I like it so I think I'll use it at the swimming baths after a swim and leave the aroma in the changing room there! :rotfl:

    Hi there,

    used up:
    Clarins moisture quench (blue tube) - WIBA no. It's ok. Nothing special.

    4 + 4 intensive moisture treatments (black sachets) - WIBA yes. Lovely but hard to get hold of.

    Champneys aqua detox bath stuff - WIBA yes. Lovely stuff. Real "spa" smell and that. turns the bath water blue!

    as my day eye cream is nearly run out I have bought an Elemis one (has a dropper). So far so good. Was a bit naughty and havent quite finished the other day cream - it has only got about a day or two left in it.
    :) Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

    Less things. Less stuff. More life.

    Okay this is my list of toiletries (not in any particular order)

    1x salon size Tigi moisture maniac shampoo
    1x salon size Tigi moisture maniac conditioner
    1x Organix pomegrante and green tree shampoo
    1x Organix pomegrante and green tree conditioner
    1x Boots honey and jojoba oil shampoo
    1x Boots honey and jojoba oil conditioner
    3x Bodyshop creamy cocoa butter body wash
    5x Avon strawberry and guava shower gel
    1x Palmers cocoa butter body lotion
    1x Dove body lotion
    1x Lush dream cream
    1x Avon stawberry and guava body lotion
    1x Lacura body lotion
    1x Vaseline intensive care cocoa butter body lotion
    1x St Ives facial scrub

    The scary thing is that this is only the 'main' toiletries that I have out. Not started on my stash yet.

    My aim is to get it down to one S&C at a time and possibly 2 body lotions/butters (after all I wouldn't want to run out :rotfl:)

    Another small UU - another Hyatt Hotels White Ginger body lotion. Really getting sick of the smell of this now after loving in when I was in the hotel in Texas last year, so am hoping this is the last one! Moved on to one wombled from Malmaison from my birthday treat a few years ago.

    hi all newbies and welcome! hello to all the regulars too!
    i went a bit wild last night and kept lifting everything up to check if it is nearly finished IYSWIM....I have 2 roll on deo's i reckon will be finished this week, a mango body lotion from BS should be fnished tonight, a Johnson's dreamy skin moisturiser should be finished tonight/tomorrow, and i found 2 l'oreal nutrisummer half finished bottles lurking under the bed!! i will make a dent on those before i head off on hols next weekend to give me a touch of colour!
    1 UU to report - Batiste dry shampoo - an essential for us girls, i tried the brunette one but i still feel it's a bit 'grey' so not much different from 'blush'. WIBA uhhhh obviously its such a timesaver and volume booster!!!! lol
    hopefully i'll be reporting said use ups soon but hold in there girls the good work is still going on! (who'd have thought!!) well done on all UU and hope you're all feelings really proud of yourselves :) xx

    i've been back on this thread for a while, and doing the use it up challenge for years (fell off the wagon a few time) and i've never done a list. i think i shall attempt that tonight, i love lists so i'm amazed i haven't done one yet.
    I won't include all the toiletries we have stashed as chrissy pressies though otherwise that's just too long a list to face :)

    BS Pink Grapefruit Body ButterWIBA?Yeah, love the smell, though worried i know smell like cats pee due to previous posts re this smell!!
    Nivea Happy shower gel -the orange oneWIBA?Yeah, probably if it was on offer for £1 again at Asda,good lather and nice smell

    Enjoy the sunshine,its soooo muggy hear on the south coastxxx:j

    Wow!Is that a result of glitches?I tend to go through about one every 3 weeks, they should be gone in just over 2 years (providing you have no other body lotions, which i suspect may be unlikely!)
    I have changed a few sealed ones in BS for other things, (if they are the current ones in stock)BS are really good with exchanging as long as the product is current and sealedx
