    Ha July off to a flying start :j :j

    GA S&G Clean On Me x2 I literally couldn't face using this again, so in a selfish / selfless gesture I gave one to my Mom and one to my sister :D

    UU Alberto Balsam Strawberries & Cream Conditioner WMBA Smelled good and worked OK but not a patch on by beloved Redken

    TA Alberto Balsam Strawberries & Cream Shampoo threw away the last few uses of this as I'd used all the conditioner, and I like matching sets :D

    Thank you everyone for all the warm welcomes! I'm going to echo OrganisingMyLife and Caterina and say I really can't face writing up my stash list!!

    I did start a word document with headings and everything, then I looked over at the chest of drawers (and no you didn't read that wrong) containing most of my products, and went and made a cup of tea!!

    I'll get round to it eventually I'm sure, in the meantime I intend on chiming in with my Ins and Outs!!

    Hopefully this challenge will make me actually use the stuff I have instead of buying it because it looks/smells nice etc, then never getting round to using them!

    Thanks Marie and Willowbee, the day went well and so quickly. Lots to do but I like to be kept busy:) Also had a UU my touche eclat. Its been on the go for years and was starting to smell a bit odd so thats a result:j
    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

    does anyone here get really bad panda eyes within hours of putting on mascara? I've been using up some clinique GWP mascaras and both have been horrific. debating wether or not to just give up on this mini and chuck it.

    first UU of the month!

    Elemis body oil - WNBA, got this mini bottle in one of the xmas gift sets. it smells divine but i think its vastly overpriced for what it does!

    Evilsquid - I was sooo tempted by the Illamasqua sale. I wanted to buy foundation or powder to try but I decided that I need to test things like that in person first :( I hope that you enjoy whatever you chose :j (well done for your weight loss :T)

    thanks! if they had the powder i wanted in stock my fall from grace would have been much worse! :rotfl: i was eyeing up a foundation but i wasn't sure if they were cheap because they were end of line and about to be updated or if they are all being phased out in favour of skin base so i didn't buy.

    A very warm welcome to our newbies :wave:

    I love the start of a new month on this challenge - you get to see all of the fab stash lists :drool:

    When I joined and made up my original stash list, it took up 9 pages on word! :eek: ! Now I am sitting (just) in 4 pages.

    Ins - twin pack of replacement Nivea Face Wipes. I have used up all of these so I am bypassing the naughtey step :D.

    I used Clinique Turn Around 15min mask yesterday and it has brought me out in even more spots. Not a good look.

    Thinking about you and your mum Scrapie :grouphug:

    I've had this problem with a couple of different mascaras lately, I think the weather is partly to blame!!

    The Dainty Doll one I won on the Glamour giveaway did this, so I moved onto the Benefit Bad Gal Lash mini that came with last month's Glamour and its doing the same. :(

    I like Maybelline Volum' Express Colossal which doesn't seem to do this but has a nice big brush like the Benefit one, I also really like No. 7 Exceptional Definition mascara which doesn't seem to bleed either. This is the first of their mascaras that I've rated, found others in the past 'flaky' but had this as a GWP in one of those little sets they do and was very impressed.

    Dolly84 and MadScientist - very good luck with not buying this month :A I'm considering doing the same but I do want the Balance Me and REN freebies...I need to give this a bit more thought! :rotfl:

    Willowbee - technically, you will be buying the mag - the freebies just happen to come with the mag. Nothing you can do about that! So really, no beauty purchase:D Is this known as a 'loophole'???

    Welcome all newbies!

    Ins 3 x Maybelline samples BB cream

    UU Clynol thickening volumising serum WBA not sticky and dried into hair ok.

    I have GA my S&G clean on me to my DD's and in the space of a week between the 3 of them they have done almost half a bottle! How?! Clearly teenagers know a secret to using this stuff up. They have also used up a pulp friction body scrub as I just couldn't face it. Also I am keen to use my Gok Wan stuff as it smells lush!
