:T:T Well done Adela! :T:T
:wave:SuiDreams - I felt like I knew what I had but I'm quite gobsmacked by my list! It's like I was buying for ten of me :eek:
I suspect that the most important thing about writing the list is that it has shocked me into action. It's going to take me years to clear this lot...0 -
Ditto kaz that I can resist the beauty boxes that are heavily biased towards makeup, I am picky and would prefer to chose something, not that I ever then remember to wear any!0

Three little used ups for me:
12. Liz Earle Instant Boost Tonic (30ml) - very nice but WNBA as I prefer other toners that are cheaper
13. Estee Lauder Perfectionist (sachet) - felt nice and silky
14. L’Oreal Derma Genesis Day (sachet) - really nice, especially as it contains SPF15. I'm pleased that I have a 15ml tester tube of this0 -

Must admit i'm another one who is bad at remembering to wear makeup, only manage i once or twice a week at the moment and i was wearing it less than that till recently, but i still seem to like buying the stuff. During the week i just don't have time to do makeup, but try and put a little on if i need to go into meetings. I feel like i should be wearing in more often now i'm getting older, but i think they'd wonder what was upif i started to come to work fully made up. Once i've used some up i should prob start looking for something quick to apply and very natural looking.0

I'm dropping out of the challenge for now ladies. 'RL' is getting a bit much and getting in the way. I'll probably still be around and lurk on the thread but I'm not actively trying to UU stuff. Thanks for all the tips, laughs and support along the way. Take care :wave: xx
Goodbye for now xoxo :wave:

I finally got a replacement dry shampoo today plus 2 mini cans of Toni & Guy hairspray from HB. Total spend £3.46.
My Listerine mouth wash will be a UU in the next day or two. My dove roll on is now also spluttering.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -
An IN to report, Tesco cucumber wipes ready for my trips to Iceland and Madrid next monthDebt 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 sales0 -
Evening ladies - a couple of UU's to report here - one boring - Boots Deodorant - WIBA? It's not as good as my HG Mitchum, but if Mitchum is not on special offer then it does OK as a "winter solution" if you know what I mean. Wouldn't feel happy using it in the summer, though! The second is Avon Anew Rejuvenate Night mini - WIBA? This wasn't bad at all - seemed to sink in well and not leave the greasy layer than a lot of night creams do. I was quite impressed and on a good special offer I would consider it.
I've now gone on to a Mitchum Deo and an Avon Care Renewing Moisture face cream as a night cream.
I also need to confess to a couple of bits I have added to my Avon order - this campaign us Reps have a chance to order any Avon's Solutions day or night cream for £2 a jar so I've ordered 2 different day creams to try. it's the best price I've ever seen them, and I only have one full size moisturiser in the cupboard and I'm about to start using that having been using sachets. Having said that, I might end up deleting one of them before I submit the order in any case! I'll also be getting a free body scrub with my next order thanks to some clever ordering of customer's stuff.
Hope everyone's well? I'm miles better these days at remembering to put on makeup - in fact since being part of this thread I use eyeliner on almost a daily basis! :rotfl: Where I fall down though is I'm a lazy mare when it comes to taking it off!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

You lot saved me
I think on the clothing thread they called it an NPI (near purchase incident) I had a nice email through from EVIL TEMPTING WEBSITE OF TEMPTINGNESS about having a free elemis kit if you bought two products... but between looking for two full size thingies to buy I flicked to this website and thought NOOO, I have ENOUGH I have piles of Elemis unopened!
SO I can be good sometimes
Ooo clothing thread?My ears (or should I say my eyes?
) pricked up at that.
