    Morning

    Use up travel sized bottle of Dermatoligica (or whatever it's called) cleansing gel and a travel sized mothwash at the weekend. Haven't chucked the bottles tho', have washed out and will refill from larger (and, in the case of cleansing gel, less expensive) bottles. very MSE :D

    Another £2 for the pot takes total to £6.

    Face mask, foot cream, conditioner and shower gel used up - another £4 to add to the pot which takes it up to £11. Just got given some Liz Earle stuff which I am very grateful for and I do use it all but means the toiletries stash is blooming again!x

    Sounds like we're all doing well.

    I'm about to use up a cleansing gel, foot cream and handcream and exfoiliator over the next couple of weeks which means another £4 goes into the pot!

    Might rename the challenge next time to this - how do you think this sounds?

    Pop £1 into the pot everytime you use up one of your beauty product stash - lets see how much we can save over 100 days!

    Sounds like a great idea!

    I have £2 more to go in the pot - used up a night cream and a little Elle McPherson body scrub thingy. I am completely stunned that I haven't bought any toiletries yet - it is possible! Thank you ladies, would never have got this far without your challenge :D

    Going to have to buy some toothpaste this week as we are running out but going to be very strong and not sneak anything pretty and smelly into the basket at the same time!

    used up some lurking shampoo - still got 2 bottles to get through! Also DS finished another bottle of Stynx. Both gone to recycling and another £2 in the pot.
