  • Hi
    I think I need to start posting again, as have failed miserably in October with 5 UU but a massive 24 in, mostly the Radox shower gel plus bubble baths and deodorant. So I have set a new challenge for myself, as I am properly stocked up again, and that is absolutely NO purchases til the New Year. I have everything I can possibly need until probably March, and just to remind myself, here's my updated list:

    That looks even longer than it does on my Word document!! Make up and perfume aren't too much of a problem for me, my makeup bag is tiny, and I only have 3 perfumes! But everything else is out of hand again!

    I'm back again too, hopefully not too many ins this month and a few more outs/UU's.
  • Thanks everyone for the welcome! :)

    I'm definitely in for November! In fact I'm going to commit to not buying ANY toiletries until at least 1 Jan 2011. This could be hard seeing as I've been lusting after the S&G tote bag...I could be in trouble if this goes to OOTW!! I don't have much S&G in my stash :( as I only 'discovered' it last month when my sister bought some for my birthday.

    I did a full stocktake of my stash last night. Was ridiculous. I'm gonna post my full list tonight as I think it may take me a while to type up!!

    On the plus side during my stocktake - I did find some gorgeous Decleor products. I used them last night and my skin feels lush this morning. Can't believe I had those hidden away and hadn't been using them!

    Anyway - good luck for November girlies! Lets hope we can all resist the temptations of Boots & points events!

  • I'm in again! I'm starting November with a UU: Body Shop Shea Body Butter. WIBA? Yes, love it, in fact I think I'm going to put this on my Xmas list. I love the texture, it spreads in easily, is very moisturising and has a lovely subtle fragrance.

    Good luck to all in this month's challenge.

    Oops, I spot a typo there... :rotfl:!
  • Well girls, I'll admit to buying some perfumes last night on perfume parlour 6x3ml ones, primarily to replace the 50ml perfume oil that smashed in my bedroom in Sept/Oct (can't quite remember) :eek: but also as I'm off to NYC in Dec, I can see if there are any offers out there/get an idea for a new perfume for a Christmas present as I'm steadily getting bored of my favourite one at the moment (I still have over 100mls to go :rotfl: )

    But seeing as it was bought last night, and not in November..(scary it's come round so fast!)..it won't count (!) and I thought I'd just make you aware in case you think I'm slacking on the confession front :rotfl:

    have a good day ladies :) x

    I don't have many toiletries to use up anyway, I haven't worn makeup for months and I have about 3 shower gels and a couple of shampoos. I have 4 moisturisers and body lotions which I've used once or twice. I'm stocked up on deodorant too and I use my mum's totthpaste so I think I'm okay :)
