            Willowbee - keep hold of that 'eeekkkkkk' feeling - it will keep you on the straight and narrow! I really do know what you mean about family - I don't ever mention beauty products to them now. Ahough, they do appear to be responsible for much of the Molton Brown/ Decleor/ Loccitaine in my stash, much of which I have recieved as gifts. As for make-up.........well, a year on and I have still not 'gone there':eek: I am still intending to try and throw some of it out this week while I'm off work - might do it later tonight. Was going to do it on Monday, then a friend turned up- so all plans went south.
 I really don't see the appeal of these beauty boxes - I know, I've supprised myself in typing that too :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
 I would much rather have full-size products that I can get my teeth into - not these pretend little ones.
 Have booked for my annual Champgneys visit in March - go with my mum ever year for a few days. We decided to do this rather than buy each other 'stuff' for Christmas. We still buy a gift at Christmas, but three days away at the spa is much more fun!Scrappie

            ^^I agree too, I'd rather save my money and buy 1 item that I actually like then be surprised with 4-5 minis that I will end up regifting anyways.
 and lucky you @ spa day. I would die for a 3 day spa trip myself right now No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Challenge No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Challenge

            So I just finished two more samples
 2x nivea pure & natural body lotion and skincare samples - I did like the body lotion but not the skincare sample (it was too sticky for my liking). They both had a very fresh/clean scent, but it smelled a little too sickly, synethic, and cheap to me. WNBANo Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Challenge

            Hi all - I've been following these threads for months, but I've always been a bit too shy to join in, my stash seems pitiful compared to you ladies! I signed up about this time last year, but was fairly quiet. My main weaknesses are shower gels and body butters/lotions, I've been terrible with NSpa products recently...

 I'll be joining properly next month, when I get home to my full stash (at uni at the moment), but I was wondering (bit cheeky) if any of you had any unwanted pieces of Lush Ice Blue soap I could swap for/buy off of you? Just found out it's been discontinued and it's my absolute favourite! Only ran out of it this week or else I would have stocked up! Only ran out of it this week or else I would have stocked up! 0 0

            I registered with Latest in Beauty last night, looked at what was available and then decided not to bother making an order. I reasoned that I have enough high quality skin and bodycare products to last me at least 12 months, many on my HG list, so will not try any new products until I am down to no more than one in stock and one in use.The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
