No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in December

Just wondering, my small amount takes up a drawer, where on earth do some of you store all your products? I think you must have a whole room devoted to them!

When I lived on my own, I had things organised in plastic stacking boxes under my desk.
When I bought a house with my boyfriend I had to put everything in the loft (still in those plastic boxes!).

As you're an Avene fan,can I ask which moisturiser you use? I'm using the calming cream at the moment and really love it, definitely want to use these products more in future.

I have oily/combination skin and can get away with using the Cleanance Lotion or either of the Hydrance Legere creams. All of them make my skin feel nice and work well under makeup so it just depends on what's available and what I fancy using!

Have a uu

Nivea Pearl & Beauty deo spray - this is the last of three sprays and I have one roll on of the same to use. WBA but only for winter use as it just isn't up to the job when it is warm. Have replaced it with a Vaseline aloe fresh deo spray.

Went to "posh" chemist yesterday to buy a new and needed mascara, choice of Lancome or Clarins, about to buy a Lancome and SA pointed out that they were doing a christmas gift set with mini eye liner and 30ml of eye make up remover for same price as mascara on its own, they did a 15% discount, which made it 95p cheaper than the house of Fraser price, and no petrol/parking or postage charge so well pleased.

Still dithering on the Elemis TSV, it is such an amazing price and I would use everything, off to check the shelf life as I have enough PCMC until the end of the summer, I tend not to treat my neck and decollette area very well, a quick swipe of body lotion, but at these prices I could be a bit more papering to myself.

VALM - positive thoughts for Emma, she must have worked so hard.

Nails painted OPI Berlin there done that, I love it.

Hi to the new girls, welcome, we are a friendly bunch here and very supporting when the going is tough.:D

VALM - masses of luck to Emma. Everything crossed.. One of my DD1s friends did a martial arts black belt exam recently and his was 7 hours long :eek:. 4TSVs :eek:- wow - Mr KM would never, ever encourage me to buy 4 of anything from the Q - you are very lucky.

Have notched up 2 UUs already for this month:

Smashbox high definition concealer - WBA - really like this as it gives good coverage. Possibly a bit lighter coverage than LG real deal concealer that I also like. May see if Boots have this in stock when I need another concealer. Don't have a massive stash of concealers (about the only thing) so may have to buy some soon.

LE energising body scrub - pleasant but not outstanding as a HG. I have loads of scrubs in the stash so likely not to need to repurchase any more for at least 5 years...Have another tube of this to UU next.

Oh, and an inadvertent IN - I emptied a gift drawer and found a bottle of Margaret Dabbs foot lotion - this I had bouight in TKM for a gift (and forgotten) but it is in the old orange packaging so think I will have to keep it. No great shame as I do love it but I did think I had almost whittled my foot lotions down.

Still haven't wavered on the Elemis - only 11 more hours of willpower required...

I've chickened out - went into the bathroom with a pad & pen to list my 'stuff' but there's SO much!
I'm just going to report my UU's and any IN's this month & try to get my stash down to sensible levels. I did find two small shower gels so I've put them to be used up next

My stash is under control now, just need to resist the January sales! I'm going to be moving house next summer so don't want to have to move a tonne of toiletries. I really need to UU some makeup stuff, especially lipsticks!!

1 UU last night:

Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate 4ml sample: I loved this, shame about the price of the full size! Made my skin glow in the morning. I have a Botanics oil in the cupboard.

Good luck for Emma Valm.

Hello and welcome to our newbies and our delurkers :wave:

Had a good night out last night and my fake tan was fine - not a TOWIE look thankfully.

Did manage a UU last night when changing my NP. So nail varnish remover. I have another one in the stash.

I am heading out now to a charity Christmas afternoon thingy my mum is helping to organise. I have been told to bring my purse! Must stay strong.

Have a lovely day everyone x
