decided that i will put £1 into a terramundi pot for each of my use ups. I think i will put £2 if i buy something of which i have stock off, If the last one is in use then that's alright!

LT that's a great idea - but already I'm thinking what can I use that money for? Ah, got it, a treatment at the local beauty salon. Sorted!

Tara - do you do this or put in the RRP of the product?

And hope you're ok lynseydee xx:A

I'm laying here battling with myself to get in the shower because when I get out I'll have to use my S&G lite body lotion and I hate it it's just too runny for me, takes ages to soak in and doesn't leave me feeling as soft afterwards like body butter.

Don't you just hate it when a product is SO disappointing. To help us it up how about:
- slathering loads on your feet tonight and popping some socks on
- get a back rub (preferably from someone you know and trust ) with some of it
- or chucking it?

I'm battling with the MUA bronzers and they were only a quid each. I really have to work with a subtle hand otherwise things look very odd. *sighs*

Hi everyone,
Can I join too please. I started reading the thread back last April and have been slowly using things up with only buying shampoo and deoderant. Lots of lovely ins at Christmas but need to keep to not buying anything new.

Hi everyone!

I have just registered a MS account so I can join in with this forum, it is exactly what I need! I have so much toiletry stuff that I don't think I'll ever use it all up and would like to put more money into my savings this year instead.

I think that all I will need to buy this year (and next!) is toothpaste, deodorant, face wipes and Lush tea tree water so if I can stick to that it will be a very cheap year (and a miracle!).

Fingers crossed

Wow welcome to all the newbies

I'm laying here battling with myself to get in the shower because when I get out I'll have to use my S&G lite body lotion and I hate it it's just too runny for me, takes ages to soak in and doesn't leave me feeling as soft afterwards like body butter. It's more like perfumed lotion than anything else. Very tempted to chuck it (it was an carboot buy at 50p, unopened/unused) I'm half way through it and if I really slathered it on I could prob get through it in about a week. It's the only one I've got open at the mo since using the up the other 2 body butters I already had open, and I did say I'd use up what was open but these feels like torture! lol

I sympathise - I'm now about two thirds of the way through the awful Boots Royal Jelly one and hating it! My incentive for finishing it is that I will then go onto one of my sanctuary body butters!

Good to see you and your first thread is a wonderful one to join

Is it worth selling toiletries we're not keen on, on ebay??? I've often thought about it, but to be honest I never seem to make that much money on ebay, maybe i'm not selling the right stuff???

Welcome newbies - this thread works as i've not even wanted to look at buying any toiletries in the sales, although i might be tempted to have a look on Lush website to see what all the hype is about

Queen I had this problem last year with body lotions. Eventually I realised body lotions are much more pleasant to use in the summer months when the weather's warmer, as they can be sooo cold and wet to apply....! Why not put it away til summer and treat yourself to one of your butters instead?

Otherwise, I used up a really cheap and nasty lotion I had by putting a huge dollop in a small dish with a handful of salt, and using it as as a scrub in the shower (Gets rid of it extra quick, this way!!)
