forgot to post before, i also UU a travel size Urban Decay make up setting spray. WNBA - i don't think it made much of an effect.
Edit: told DH how well i'm doing getting the stash down and he confessed to washing his hair with just soap and offered to "take some of that stuff off your hands" so now GA keihls olive shampoo and shower gel, creme de corps body wash and an elemis milk bath (he doesn't care about SLS/SLES)0 -

Hiya & welcome.
As already said some of us do and some of us don't. I do keep a list as I have quite a bit of make up especially lip sticks, gloss and eye shadows. It does look a bit scary when it is written down and really ups my product number but if feels great to record it as a UU (coz it takes ages to get a make up UU).
I did PMON tonight and went with No 7 Beanie. I also had to cut them all down as I broke one of them at work today.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -

As my Rimmel mascara appears to be giving up the ghost, I'm going to hang on to it until the weekend and then take it to Debenhams to trade it in for the Clinique deal from this week's MSE email. It'll go into the stash to be saved for a few months as I've got my Urban Decay one to start on though (I know it's partly a marketing scam but I am a bit fanatical about the six month rule with mascara).
So Rimmel Glam'Eyes Day 2 Night mascara - WBA as it was nice to have the choice of two different looks depending how I felt without buying two mascaras, and it wasn't too expensive but still held up well throughout the day."A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." - Tyrion LannisterMarried my best friend 1st November 2014Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")0 -
