Ooh, pinkstars, your stash does look lovely! I really like the way all the brands are stored together, it makes it look more like a shop! I've always aspired to have a set of the same brand for my skincare, just to have a simple routine, but unfortunately I never like both the cleansers and moisturisers of the same brand!

Anyway, enough stash envy! Tonight I'm going to finish off my final bottle of bioderma crealine - a cleansing water. WIBA? Probably not, although it is very good at removing every last bit of make up. However, I've opened my new clarins gel melt cleanser and remembered how much I love using it - oils feel so much nicer than cleansing water, and I feel much cleaner rinsing them off. I'm also going to dig out a No7 eye make up remover to use with it, as I'm nervous about using normal cleansers on my eyes.

That's about it with my toiletries. I'm going to get round to posting a list soon. Keep posting the photos, ladies, it's satisfying my nosiness!

Evening Ladies

I hope you are all having a lovely evening.

I have been good today.

No ins and a no spend day as well

I don't have any use ups or splutters to report either.

Now that I have returned to work after having 6 weeks off sick, it is alot easier not to buy anything.

Hope you are well and being relatively good.

MOOC :beer:

littlepinkstars44: your stash looks LOVELY!

No more ins, no more UUs, no more outs and a NSD so an OK day overall.

Also need to try and use some of the older items in my Lush stash such as:
Amandopondo bubble bar (09)
Magic Mushroom bubble bar (09)
Avobath ballistic (10)
Waving not drowning ballistic (10)
Fizzbanger ballistic (10)
Lush Each Peach massage bar
Lush Flying Fox shower gel 100g (need to check the date on this one actually!)


If i can make a dent in this lot by the end of the month i will be a happy girl! So if anyone has any tips on getting through this lot quicker, please let me know![/QUOTE]


You will need to have lots of baths to finish all the ballistics! It'll be a hardship, but its all for the toiletries challenge!

posting: I don't think giving it away is cheating
how we get through our stash is up to us
better to give it away than have it sitting around for another 6 million months

2 UU to report today!

17 Mineral Foundation powder - WIBA - yes, but not til I've used some of my stash! Liked it cos it was a solid foundation so good for taking out and about.
Avon shower gel in Romantic kiss - WIBA - no, they don't sell it anymore and I have 42 shower gels left in the stash now! :eek: I did like it, it smelled like sweeties!:rotfl:

Also nearly at the end of 2 body lotions and cut a face wash tube open last week so hoping for more UU soon to keep me motivated!

Nothing used up, nothing new to report.

Am still decluttering receipts onto the computer so that I can see final yearly spends on stuff that will hopefully shock me into spending less. Still at least I've slowed down on buying underwear, last count was 85 sets :eek:

Well done kazmeister.
There is something very irresistable about underwear when it's in a sale, I find! Oh well. You've got enough to keep you going for a while!

Yet more INs to announce, but only little ones this time. A Rich Red wash in wash out hair colour from Superdrug (99p) as suggested on my thread about preserving my colour. WIBA? Definitely, its really livened it up :j
And 3x Superfruits Exfoliating Mask sachets (89p) also Superdrug. I use these weekly and as I don't go into SD that often I grab a few whenever I'm in there.
I had a sniff of some delicious shower gel while I was in there too but didn't buy it but I probably will at some point :rotfl:

I know, I'm rubbish!!! Its boredom that does it. I get fed up with whatever I'm using so instead of moving on to something from the stash I buy something new, which I then don't use straightaway. I even baffle myself with this "logic"!! :rotfl::rotfl:

I find laying all my stuff on the bed, sorting my make up and so on - is like playing! It also helps to swop things around that you are using up. If you think about it many of us (well me at least) have been used to tarting toiletries! That is use a bit, getting bored, then opening or more likely buying another one. So the whole concept of using stuff up until its finished is tough. But I reckon I'll be able to spot anyone from this thread in the street - they'll be the ones with shiny tresses, glowing skin and pampered nails.
