Is it too late to join? I would love to be part of this challenge!
I have far too many beauty products in my stash...
bunberry, it is not too late to join. Welcome to this friendly thread.
I joined last year and have really managed to use up what I have got and have also managed not to buy too many products. My stash now fit in to 2 small drawers in the bathroom.
Good luck with the challengeNo toiletries challenge, started 18/1/2010 - Putting £1 in my savings jar for every item that I use up. Pot 1 to 4 = £261. Pot 5=£23

Does it really smell exactly (or very very similar) to it? I love mademoiselle but being skintos I can't afford to replace it at the moment, so if it's v. close to it I may make a special trip to Lidl:D:j0 -
No UU's or INs for me, but I've been buying bits and pieces for my daughter's birthday. I love to give birthday stockings as well as Christmas stockings.
So we have some Poundland body butters (mango and strawberry) and two Mitchum anti-perspirant sprays which are currently on offer in Savers for a quid. I also spotted some Sally Hansen Dead Sea foot soak that I thought she might like though she barely sits still enough to use it.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...

Thankyou everyone - Percy says to tell you thanks too,hes not feeling too bad at the moment - but he did get worried when I was crying Tuesday, cos I make the bed wobble and he couldnt sleep.... hes doing ok on his steroids - eating everything in sight and being uber fussy now,none of that dry dog food rubbish for him, he wants meat !!!! (methinks someone is milking this a little.....) Its hard, knowing that his time is numbered now - Ive had a few dogs before,all special in their own different ways - but him getting cancer is just the most unfair thing that could happen - as And said earlier, he is such a daft lump - and has changed so much from the quiet sad dog that I collected from the rescue centre 4 years ago, its been a real education watching him grow in personality and confidence. Wether we get another when hes gone we havent yet decided - mum isnt too keen yet (its going to be a lot for her to cope with I think - Percy is the only family member (other than me!) who was around for her when my dad died - so him going as well is being felt harder than it would usually I think) but Maisy (the golden retriever) has never lived as an only dog - so a lot will depend on how well she copes I think (and if we happen to come across the perfect dog at any stage too - its not something that is ever decided by the humans I dont think!!!!)
Anyway - back on subject, I have 3 INs today - impulse body spray. the one in my car has been binned - dont like it at all any more. Replaced it with the pink one (nice) the dark blue one (its ok,but thought mum might like it) and truth (i think thats what its called! - the pineappley one) which is my favourite. (got 3 cos its 3 for £2.50 or something like that!!)
no UUs for a while - though Im doing my best with the horrible black soap !!!Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -

Well done Becky 2 :T It sounds like you will be joining our graduate list shortly.Alton_Towers wrote: »Some IN's to declare 2 x bottles of perfume Suddenly Madame Glamour from Lidl!

Thanks for the info AT. Just it time for my best firend's 30th birthday. She is living in Vietnam at the mo and I am really careful about sending anything expensive over there as customs open everything and make her pay extra VAT etc before she gets the package. So Coco Mademoiselle is her fav perfume so I think she will like this too.
DING DONG The S & G is dead!!! Finally UU the Clean on Me shower gel. I have become so blah about it so would not be in a rush to buy again. I have replaced this with Imperial Leather Shower Cream Jojoba & Vitamin E which smells lovely
Also managed to finish my Johnsons Shower and Shave. I have went through all of my stash bottles now so I WBA.
So £2 in my pot.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -
3 INS for me last night from Sainsburys. Bought the Elle magazine with the Mavala grey lacquer on the front. I am still searching for my HG grey and in some ways hope this is not it cos I won't be able to replace it! My obsession for nail lacquer is not abating. I confess I am watching a new OPI summer colour on Ebay and have an OPI QVC Auto Delivery due at the end of this month.
The other two INs were 2 x Happy Days shampoo for Emma. These are on offer again at buy 2 for £4.00 (BOGOF). She has just finished a bottle of this.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!

Decleor's Aroma cleanse, I didn't think this cleanser was anything special and definetely not worth the price so wont buy again.
