    Speaking of taupe, I havejust done my nails in Jermyn Street by nails inc (a kinda pinky taupeyness) with french tips in sparkley silver.

    Can you tell I should be writing an assignment ;)


    That sounds lovely :)

    Hi,

    Another UU today, simple light moisturiser. I would buy again, but have other moisturisers to use up first. I had another simple one in the stash, but it smelled funny when I opened it, so I binned it and went onto the no7 daily moisturising fluid. So far so good.

    I also binned my no7 gel cleanser. I don't like it. I prefer things that bubble. So I've opened my S&G clarity face wash.

    Got a couple of splutterers too, so hopefully more UUs this week

    Have a great week everyone,

    Got a UU today, Nivea q10 face cream - didn't have much left and I found it a bit greasy so used last bit on my body!

    Next now to decide which moisturiser to use from my stash!

    I'm in! I'm new to the forums, but this was the first one I came across. Just wrote up my list of products. I have far too many body lotions and shampoos. I have 8 of the same Pantene ones, but I got them for 24p each, so how could I resist? Everything I have seems to be nearly full though, so it might take me a while. Loving the MSE community! :)

    I failed with this challenge in January so I am aiming to do much better this month. I spent £100 on toiletries last month, £60 of that I spent on an Elemis set. In 2011 I bought some Sanctuary facial products that I initially liked until I got a bad reaction so in January I bought Elemis Pro collagen night and day cream and that has really calmed my face down. Love these products shame that they are so expensive. With the set I also got Elemis Pro collagen Quartz mask which is also a great product and a bath elexir that I will give away as a birthday present.
    No 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
    Boots points:£39.21. Extra money in 2012:£674.59. In 2013 £603.48. 2014: £85. 2015: £0 :j

    I forgot to mention that in January I reached a major milestone with this challenge since I have now used up all soap bars from various hotels, it's taken 2 years but they are all finally gone! Hurray.

    Also used up is Body shop's brazil nut body butter, this is a good product but I only want to use body butter in the winter. I am currently using Sanctuary's body lotion.
