    Oh my :eek:

    Just started my stash list and it is way, way, way worse than I thought! :eek: :eek:

    Why oh why am I stockpiling shower gels? At least if there's an Armageddon I'll be able to trade showergel for food.......... :D

    Yeh, I buy shower gel as if there may be a war as well. I have four open at the moment (one fragrance free so I can decide whatever to use it with, one fresh, one floral and one sweet smelling) and I still can't make any real head way through the stash and yes I do shower every day!
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    You and me both Dollypop...or squirt shower gel into the eyes of zombies?

    I watch too many zombie programmes!

    Are you watching The Walking Dead at the moment? Can't believe it finishes next week again. This Season has definitely been more gritty.
    Hey lovelies.:wave: I haven't been around much because I'm not too good at the moment, but I wanted to pop in anyway. I've had a couple of UU but I'm too tired to list them now so I'll do it tomorrow.:)

    Good to see you though LM. Take care. xx

    Some UUs to report

    Clinique spot treatment. WIBA? No I prefer elemis SOS cream instead as it works much quicker and is loads more effective on my spotty chin.

    No7 night cream. WBA and have another few in the stash. I like this as it works well on my aforementioned spotty chin.

    Elle McPherson shower gel. WNBA as it was just ok and for the cash I expect more. I am now onto an imperial leather one.

    Speaking of spots, my cheeks have had an outbreak. I usually only get spots on my chin but just now I have three huge spots that are sore and red. I think it might be my Clinique blush that I have not long started on. It is quite old and that may be way. I have stopped using it for a few days to judge how my cheeks go. But I think I may need to TA.

    I have decided to reuse alot of the boxes and outer boxes the Beauty boxes come in...and their packaging for my future presents. I think i will make a BB a staple present from me in the future. I enjoy making them :)

    UU

    LUSH Snow Fairy Shower Gel Sample - WNBA, This was teeny so wasn't much of a use.....can't say it's a smell i particularly liked. Very bubblegumish! Was nice enough for the shower though :)
    John Masters Blood Orange and Vanilla Body Wash, 30ml - WBA, Smelt just like the body lotion.......Nom nom nom!
    Neom Organic Body Lotion Complete Bliss, 50ml - WBA, absolutly love NEOM, although the more expensive the body lotion, the longer it seems to take to rub in haha!
