  • Another UU to report :

    BareMinerals Buxom lip gloss Eva - I like these lip glosses as I like the minty tingle when you apply them. However, I have absolutely no need to buy any lipsticks/glosses as I still have 170 :eek: in my stash (including another Eva). This is the year I am really going to be ruthless and any lipsticks that don't suit me are going to be TA. Watch this space ladies.......

    Have a great week everyone.

    Ins today, my free gift from Amarya

    Well its a lovely package, not opened them to try yet, but glad I didnt pay the £56 asking price for something so, well, small!
  • Hi All! I've been doing this challenge since the start of the year and still no ins! Although I haven't set foot in any Boots/Superdrug etc!

    What I have found is that it has given me a new enjoyment of actually USING the products rather than just buying and looking at them! Also, I'm managing to focus on using one bottle at a time rather than having 6 shower gels open and using a different one everyday!

    Have UU small bottles of Sanctuary hand cream (a bit too greasy) and No 7 Cleanser (the one that's always free in the gift sets). Moved on to S&G hand cream which I prefer and another of the same cleanser (with still another left in the stash). Not overly keen on the cleanser, but it's ok for a bit of a wipe before bed (unless I've been wearing foundation)

    A UU this morning:

    TBS cocoa butter body butter: WIBA? Yes, I love the smell and the body butters are so moisturising. Not for a while though as I stocked up on various body butters in TBS sale! Now onto a S&G Righteous Butter. :)
  • Hello Ladies!!!

    I have internet connection and I'm back- yey!

    It's been a very lonely two weeks, only able to keep up with internet stuff while at work. I really missed coming on here and catching up with you ladies. However, I was slightly suprised that I ahve 27 pages to catch up with - looks like I'm on the sofa with the cats for the rest of the afternoon. :D

  • Hi all

    I have a question: did you all make a list ?
    I think this would take me too long as i have literally hundreds of products in my bathroom . I was thinking maybe i just start by clearing one box at a time.

    Good start last weekend : I threw away a nail varnish that i couldn’t open, a nail file that was broken and a nail buffer that was overused and used up 2 sample products of body cream.:T

    I think i have to pick up the pace as this barely makes a dent in my collection.:(
    CC consolidated to £3400
    Loan[STRIKE] £12770[/STRIKE] £7150 :eek:
    Mortgage :(

    I am sure that you won't be out there for long, there is bound to be one or two of us queing up to displace you very soon.;)

  • Couple more UUs and I have loads of splutters so Ill be having a manmouth stash shop this week:)
    Olay beauty Fluid, had this on the go since October, using a couple of times a day, WBA, cheapish and will eb good as a light moisturiser for summer.
    Boots lip salve- WBA again but didn't need to as I borrowed BFs:D
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • Bubble32 - I didn't make a list, I had a look at my stash to see the full extent of the damage and I reorganised it so that it was easier to access.

    I think thats the point really, to know what you have.
