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

I was just thinking whilst [STRIKE]lusting over[/STRIKE] looking at the stash lists, that I really am in good company. Now, I know that sounds odd, as we're all obviously here for the same reason, and have similar 'issues'. But two of my closest friends know about my.. umm... 'hoarding' :rotfl: and find it hilarious (though one of them has a serious shoe-buying problem - like I'm one to talk).
So basically, thank you ladies, for being such wonderful support & company on the (super-long) road to UUs :beer:
p.s. Is anybody else tempted to buy E**e for the S&G mascara??
I feel the same :beer: My real life friends think I'm crazy. When I mentioned that I used body moisturiser every day one of them just stared at me and said, "How do you have the time?". I just make the time, because I'm obsessed :rotfl:
I am also tempted by the mascara freebie - must resist though as I have 2 mini mascaras and 2 full-size Lancome mascaras (bought in Xmas sale) to use up first - and I'm sure mascara dries up relatively quickly!Sealed Pot Challenge Number 1225

Reason I haven't been able to keep up with January's thread is that my little boy decided to grace us with his presence 2 1/2 weeks early.
Am still in on the challenge and have to say that since having Keiran my UUs have totally fallen behind, mainly because I don't have the energy to do the things I used to do before I had him
Hopefully once the sleeping pattern becomes semi normal I might feel I have the energy to start using things up again (will I ever feel like that again :rotfl:).
Congratulations lynseydee! _party_ I hope you manage to get some time to yourself at some point - it must be exhausting having a small baby, pampering would be a good idea I am sureSealed Pot Challenge Number 1225

Thank you for the new thread.
I'm upset I didn't keep a detailed record of last month to see how I did so I will do that this month.
I could probably do Feb spend free but I have a trip to London on the 11th so I'm fairly sure there will be a few INs, I'll try to keep it to things I can't just pick up in Liverpool - Nars, Tom Ford...err what else? Help me out!
Goals for Feb
*Make the effort to wear make-up/Perfume/ most days again.
*Do my nails and make the most of my MASSIVE nail polish collection!
*Lotion after every bath/shower
*Not let me hair get disgusting before I wash it
*Keep on top of my brow shape as I actually like them at the moment!

I "make the time" because if I don't, my skin will flake. :eek: It only takes me 30 seconds!
I have an IN already, I gave in to the S&G mascara with Elle(I blame my friend who texted me to tell me about it!). I'll use it though as I wear mascara every day and mascaras don't dry up if you don't open them.
There's also a free sample of the new Rimmel foundation in Elle - I already have the full size and it's nice. This is a darker shade so I'll keep it for the next time I'm wearing fake tan.
Congrats lynseydee!0 -
