  • Please can I join in? *Shuffles feet* I've been sort of participating by reading the thread, but haven't been all that good this last month :S

    I have also been trying to use up the nice stuff after reading about the PRCP on here so thank you for that! It's funny, when you have a special occasion to dress up for you don't tend to have the time to deviate from the tried and tested routine generally, but you don't get the posh stuff out when you do have time because "you aren't doing anything special" and so the stuff never gets used!!

    So having finally realised this, I'm using the posh shampoo/conditioner I bought from a hairdresser eons ago (I don't go to posh salons now, I've acquired a mate who happens to be a fully qualified hairdresser and will do it for a tenner!), and I'm using the gift sets and the nice body butters. At least thats the plan.

    I often find myself reaching for a product in the shops because I'm nearly at the end of my current one just because I don't want to dip into the nice stuff, well that is going to change!

    My mission is to only have in stock what I'm using, and to only buy new products when the one i'm using is more than halfway done.

    That'll take a while!!

    Lovely to meet you all!

    Thanks everyone. Moving house helped a great deal as we don't have a bath here and I only had a bath in my parents house. So all my lush ballistics and bubble bars were used up quickly and all the other stuff in the stash went to my old work because they needed toiletries for the patients. Can you believe that some people let their relatives go into hospital with no toiletries!?!? What do they expect them to wash with?

    Anywho, am almost at the end of my La Roche Posay Anthelios SPF so have ordered my HG Biore UV White from ebay along with 2 of the Skin 79 BB Creams as my Missha one is almost done (and it will be gone by the time they arrive!).

    My aim to finish this month is my Missha BB cream and my Mac Naked Lunch e/s as it's only a ring around the edge of the pan now. Would like to try and finish a lip product as well but I don't really see that happening!

    Hope you're all having a good weekend!

    I am in!! I need to do an updated stash list - will post one later on. Again I am going to put £1 in a jar for every use up and 20p for sachets as well as £10 for every no spend week. I have decided to use the money to put towards getting my teeth whitened - my mum has recently had it done and looks 10 years younger!

    Good Luck everybody!!

    No UU's for a while now. Working on a body spray that feels like it's getting quite empty though so can hopefully tick that one off soon!
