    IN'S

    MOA Green Balm, Small Tub

    Have you had this before? I bought some a few months ago because so many people raved about it but have been really disappointed with it and WNBA. Having said that, I have yet to find anything that will help when my extremely dry patches break out on my face.
    3 stone down, 3 more to go

    Another UU. VO5 Give me Moisture shampoo. HG product. Already have one in stash. x
    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!

    I have not tried Green Balm, but my fall back for dry or irritated patches/excema breakouts on face is A'Kin Rosehip Oil, you can sometimes find it cheaply on *bay, it gets good ratings in the "Beauty Bible" books too. At times of skin stress (illness, biting cold winds) I use it in place of night cream. I always make sure I have one bottle around -, I really count it as first aid rather than toiletries

    Two more use ups

    200ml Gatineau Rose Toner. MBA but not quite as HG as IBST. Just travel size of IBST to transfer to spritzer bottle and a travel size (in a travel set) of an Elemis left now.

    Coty Emeraude perfume, not available any more, and would consider it a bit heavy for me these days.

    No more in's (just the two already declared). October will have been a good month for me (not counting the gazillion nail polishes I bought in Sept and Oct:rotfl:) Nails naked atm, having a few days of intensive care, time for an eye watering colour on toe nails to compensate I think!

    Yes, welcome aboard:)

    Lots of ladies have done stash lists, and cross off items as they are used. I haven't, but I do keep a word document running, month by month listing use ups, throw aways (gone off, or just plain doesn't suit anymore, gifts etc) and list the in's. I have tidied everything, so things are not scattered around the house and this helps me target the next things to use, and helps divert me when I think I "need" to buy something new.
