    How do some of you count up your toiletries? I know I have far too much in stock, but I buy for 3 females (plus partner and son but not including them) - should we all use the same shampoo etc?

    Currently in use between the 3 of us are 3 shower gels, 4 shampoos and 3 conditioners - not to mention face wash, scrub etc!

    *hangs head in shame* :o

    Not even a week in and I FAILED :(

    I have 2 INS to report - a No7 Body Butter and A No7 Hand Revitalising Hand Saviour. (I also got a Face powder but I'm not counting make up and I threw the empty pot of the last one out last week :D)

    They were on 3 for 2 with £5 off so I don't feel too bad - and the Hand Saviour is my HG for hand scrubs as my hands feel awesome when I use it.

    I also got a Gok set - but as I am giving that to OH to put away for Birthday/Xmas/Whatever I'm not counting it until it actually available for use :p

    a few uu to report so will update my big list later
    sweet seductuion lip gloss-wiba? i got this in a swap from america so prob not. didnt quite finish it but i dont want my better stuff going off because i have used up all the rubbish first.
    heel genius-mmmmm depends on price.i like the avon heel softening creme(which im away to start using better)
    avon nail experts-wiba? yes!! the scraggy bits around my nails have went away completly..if they dont stay away with normal hand creme i will have to buy.
    revlon photoready-my friend was actually going to bin this at the beg of dec because it was nearly finished... i have used it everyday since and there is still some in the bottom the pump doesnt quite reach...i have my own bottle in my stash but might leave till summer as my skin is a bit dry and when i forget to moisturize it looks flakey.

  • No UU's to report yet, still spluttering away over here!

    But i did find an air tight jar for £2.50 in Tesco last night! So i have just cut up 2 Lush soaps and put them in there, it looks really pretty too! Hopefully i will start using these now!

    I think i will only have 2 different soaps in there at once, cause i don't want the scents to mix. Right now i have 2 big chunks of Summer Pudding, all cut up and some Honey I Washed The Kid in there!

    Budge up. I have four more INs to report. You all know that I ordered the Ojon TSV on Friday (which arrived yesterday and I'm v pleased with. Used the treatment overnight, washed and conditioned this morning and topped off with the spray. A co-worker asked if I had had my hair coloured so result!). On Saturday I was reading the Nail Polishes thread and started looking at the OPI 2011 collection. Was thinking that the only one I liked was the brown - was always on the look out for replacement for my beloved Espresso Your Style which i thought was discontinued but then realised I had seen it recently in a set on QVC. Went to have a look and the kit has been reduced (and as it contains a colour that my daughter loves as well thought I was justified in buying it).

    Went to charity shop on Monday and bought some Clarins serum and a sample of Anna Sui fragrances. Only 59p each!

    I do however have 2 UUS to report.

    The first is very :money:: was a jar of homemade coffee body scrub. WIBA? Definitely once I've worked my way through the S&G ones.

    Second is the Elemis Pro Collagen Oxygenating night cream. WIBA? Would love to but don't think I can justify it at the mo. MrM however is off to work in Ireland tomorrow so I've printed him off a voucher for £5.00 off at the Duty Free shop adn will be begging him to get me some Clinique! x
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
