I'm in. I think that I really just need to get moisturiser and serum for April. This will, of course, involve me getting a wee freebie as well, but hey ho, I can always use L'Occitane products

I realised tonight that my perfume is also on the splutter. I'm very pleased about that. This thread has made me concentrate on reducing my perfumes, and they are almost at a realistic level. Hurrah! And actually, apart from the hand cream/foot cream and the shower gels (which werent even bought by me!), my collection is looking not bad. I havent updated my list since Christmas but I'll get it done over the next couple of days.

I'm in again folks!!

My Decleor and EH 'goodies' are set for re-delivery on Monday - declared all of those in March, so no guilt attached, and I'm very excited about them!

Going to have another good search thro my stach - goddaughters birthday in a few days, I'm sure I have plenty soap & glory stuff to pass on to her along with her pressie. Also go another friends birthday later in the month. Have bought her a Fiorelli make-up bag, so may need to 'find' something to go inside it. Every little helps

Hello!

Thank you Hollylangman for starting the thread

I'm IN again. This will be my second full month of this challenge. My general aim for April is no ins other than beauty box contents (baby steps!) My mini-goal is to use body scrub each time that I shower - I just found a tub of Balance Me scrub in the bathroom cupboard which is on my stash list but that I'd completely forgotten about! :eek: I haven't used it because it's in a tub and that makes it fiddly to use...

I'm hopeless at remembering what I have! Making the stash list was really helpful as a wake-up call but I feel that unless I look at everything each month I just forget what is hidden away. Already! It's partly the M.E. foggy brain at work (I'm really bad right now) but it's also a sure sign I have far too much stuff.

Does anyone have any tips for staying focused/enthused? I really want to stick at this! Does anyone else suffer from out of sight, out of mind and then want new things?! Has anyone pinned their stash list up at home? I have collected up a basket of splutterers to target, which helps, but they're hanging on for much longer than I thought they would! :eek: Oh my...

:beer: Best of luck for April! Thank you for your company :beer:

ruby_eskimo

I'm in again this month! Aiming to only replace my body lotion and maybe shower gel if I get that far this month!

Goals for this month Same as last month, as apart from the first one I was very bad at sticking to them
No spending money except on essentials
Have more OUTs than INs by the end of the month
Use hand cream more often
Use foot cream every night
Start putting on eyeshadow, blusher and lip balm in the mornings again
Get a better night-time skin routine
Have a bath at least once a week
Apply body lotion after every shower

Good luck everyone!

Thanks for the new thread Holly.

Becky, I second the recommendation for St Tropez gradual tan. Garnier summer body is almost as good though (and way cheaper). I'm not a fan of the Johnson's holiday skin because I find it tends to go streaky.

I laughed at the reference to fake tan stains on the bed linen. That's how I know it's not winter any more in our house!

I've been good this week. I'm using up a bottle of Bobbi Brown foundation by mixing it with moisturiser to make a tinted moisturiser. It's perfectly good foundation, it's just that the coverage is a little heavy for me. The easy route would be to chuck it and buy more Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser (HG) at £25 a pop but I'm resisting until I've finished the Bobbi Brown.

Also resisted buying lovely new Clarins eau dynamisante variant in Boots (eau des jardins) even though it would be lovely for summer, because I still have too many perfumes and need to get a grip!

Keep up the good work everybody and try not to watch QVC!!!

Pink-Angel

Hi all, I'm a newbie but would love to join you. I have a RIDICULOUS amount of toiletries and really should use them up before buying more. I see lots of lovely on offer and can't resist (we all need shower gel and body lotion, right?!) but I need to start being more sensible....

When better to decide this that the start of the month ....

This Works Face and Body Moisturiser, 30ml - WMBA, smelt exactly like the NEOM Luxury one....but didn't take as long to rub in as NEOM does. A happy medium
