No buying (unneccecary!) toiletries in February Challenge!!!

One UU to end February. Botanics foaming bath soak, very creamy and bubbly but plenty of other bath soaks I want to try.
Two TAs - Jemma Kidd lip gloss, starting to smell a bit strange and a Baylis & Harding hand lotion which was given to me as part of a welcome hamper from my mortgage company. Have been using it for a year and still about a quarter left, got fed up with it as it felt very cheap and wanted to move on to something I.'d chosen myself.
I will definitely buy Cosmo if I can find one with mascara as I haven't any others in stash apart from what I'm using.
See you in March - this thread hs definitely helped me keep an eye on things and avoid wandering round Boots! xMortgage Dec 2015 - £21545 Apr 2016 - £19930

Hello all, just popping in to declare my last UU/ (Ins
)
UU: S&G off your face wipes (from the 2010 big box of goodies) WIBA? I really liked the feel of these, but the price puts me off a bit. After all they are only wipes. I have one more packet from the big splendour though. This now leaves me with only two full size packets and two travel packets in stash! yippee!
On to a travel packet of simple now.
OUT: courtesy of ebay: No7 define and shimmer eyeshadow palette, I have far too may eyeshadows to get through before they will eventually, undoubtedly go off, so thought I'd make a few pennies and someone else can get the use of something so lovely.
INs (Damn you MrB and your clearance shelves!)
Boots Botanics face scrub- clearance impulse buy.
Batiste fresh dry shampoo mini x2- do not have any dry shampoo in stock, and these were 76p each, so don't feel to bad.
Sure deodorant -25% off voucher in ACM, and it will get used, its not really adding to a "stash" as such.
Hope everyone's had a good day, see you all in March!0 -
Signed in at beginning of month so thought I would sign out too!!!
Started Feb with 80 items in stash, UU = 17 and GA = 1 so only left with 62 now!! I had 132 at the beginning of November so doing really well.
Will join March thread as this really helps me reading all the posts!0 -
I have some GA's. 2 eye liner pencils WIBA?: No, I don't get on with eye pencils these were a freebie and a moment of madness purchase. I use my virgin vie dark brown eye shadow and a thin brush for eye liner now.
I also GA a lip gloss which was a freebie. I don't really like lip gloss. I much prefer lipstick.
I've been using an Avon clay mask which seems really very good. It's seeming to clear my milia. It burned the first time I used it (it has salicylic acid in it) but I think I put it on too thick. My forhead went a bit flaky but that's a sign of all the nasty stuff coming off and just needed a good exfoliate and moisturise (plus drinking more than 1 glass of water and 3 cups of coffee in a 12.5 hour shift!
DH's now going to wax my bikini line for me :eek:. I have an epilator which I got reduced to £20 in November. I love it. ish. It doesn't hurt per se but I do feel like it doesn't get rid of everything.Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -
Have a few uu's to declare from this last week or so
Gok liquid gold body wash, I think this is the last of my Gok shower gels, I love them and will definitely get more next Christmas
Umberto Gianni Conditioner - think it was called spa rituals, this was very good and smells absolutely divine, have another one in the stash
Also finished a Revlon photoready foundation - this is my HG foundation and is also frequently on 3 for 2, have another 2 in the stash so no need to repurchase for a while
Now for the ins
Percy & Reed hair mask - free with my glamour subscription
Clinique 7 day scrub - love this and felt like treating myself
see you all on the March thread, xo0 -

Wow, can't believe it's March already! I'm glad - I decided to give up chocolate for February and succeeded, but I'm so glad I can eat it again tomorrow. I've been reading the thread but haven't had much chance to post. Happy birthday to those who've been celebrating, hugs to those that need them. Trudij, I'm glad karma came back to bite your so called 'friend' in the bum!
I'm pleased as despite a large Lush delivery I've managed to make the number of UUs equal to the number of INs so far for the year. Hope I can do even better in March. I had a bit of a NPI when I found out that Carmine beauty boxes had Steam Cream in - I have always wanted to try this so ordered a box, only to promptly cancel when I found out the boxes had sold out!Sealed Pot Challenge Number 1225
