Evening all
Not posted since joining but have been keeping up with the thread. I have the following to declare;
INs
6 sure roll on deodrants
2 cussons shower gel 500ml
Listerine mouth wash
Pack of 75 floss sticks
4 gatineau products (a TSV)
UUs
Gillette gel deodrant - WBA once i've used all the ins from this month. This is my all time fave deodorant even thought it's a blokes.
Stargazer hair colour. - WMBA as this does not over the grey and my hair now have quite a few of them.
Be delicious body moisturiser 100ml. - If I buy as a gift set then yes but otherwise no.
Decleor aromessence contour 2.5ml sample. - WNBA do not think they do this anymore as I'd had this for rather a long time.
Decleor hydra floral 15ml. - WBA when I've used up the gatineau
Anew instant eye smoother. - WNBA as they do not do this anymore.
Bourjois coup de theatre. - WNBA as I have decided I prefer a brown/black rather than a black.
GAs
Ganineau advanced rejuvenating eye concentrate. - Didn't agree with me and ended up with very watery eyes
2x Avon nail polishes - Am a terrible nail biter so these were going to waste. Since giving them away, my nails have stayed away from my mouth :rotfl:
TAs
Maybelline intense xxl - Had for ages
Stargazer mascara. - Had for ages.
Take care all

Oh, and I gave away a Clinique GWP size mascara to one of the boy's girlfriends. Can't stand their mascara, I always wind up looking like a panda.0

Right declaring my totals for January Ins 13 Outs 22 - stash reduced by 9 items this month. Now for the bad news this is the end of my first 12 months of the challenge and at the end of a year my stash has increased by 44 items, in my defence 42 items were from Christmas gifts. Will keep trying though, won't need to buy any lip balms, lip sticks, lip glosses, body or face scrubs for a few years I think. But body lotion and shampoo stashes are gone now, just really one in use and one in the stash. Think eye cream will be the next product sorted. At least I won't need to buy much this year.0

Two UUs to report:
Sure Crystal deodorant body spray
SpaceNK Citrina bath powder: I ended up using this more as a body scrub in the shower rather than in the bath. Smelt really refreshing WIBA? Only if it's in sale for the £2 I bought it for. No way would I pay the original price of £6.
One TA: WetnWild Mega Volume Mascara. Threw this away because it was dry when I tried to use it. I've had it for years anyway so I think it was overdue WIBA? Nothing special, can't remember how I paid but it wasn't expensive. I don't think you can buy this product in high streets anyway as it's an American brand.
One In: Collection 2000 black colouring mascara to replace the one I threw away. Bought from Boots for £1.99.
On a side note, I have just used the Stay Perfect nail polish from Boots and I'm not impressed as my nails have chipped after two days, I would be more annoyed if I had paid the full price of £7. I think it's now been discontinued as I had a voucher for 50% off when I bought it.0 -
Todays UU -
113 cotton wool pads WBA
114 Lush cone shaped bath bomb WBA this one crackled like popcorn
and some outs:
115-137 some sales from ebay
Will be on the naughty step next week (or before) when my clarins, murad and nails inc orders arrive.No more buying toiletries0 -
I've torn myself away from bunny watching to have a UU and an IN.
IN: Chanel perfection lumiere sample in beige. Free sample with Red magazine.
UU: Sanctuary luxury bath float 75ml. This was from a set bought either Christmas 2011 or possibly before. I love the classic sanctuary scent and it feels moisturising. WIBA? Yes but probably on a deal.
I've opened a BS spa scrub that I have had in the stash for at least 6 years. It was bought as a present for me in a set with the african spa body moisturiser and another product. It has not been opened in all the years I've owned it, but the moisturiser had to be thrown away as it had split.
Went to Boots today and bought presents for a friend, but as they are going straight out tomorrow I won't be counting those as Ins. I did however get a free Sanctuary candle and earned extra AC points that put my total back up to more than £47!
I don't think anything else is going to go tomorrow and therefore my totals for this month are 20 UUs, 2 freebie INs and no purchased INs so far this year. I believe this is the longest I have ever gone without buying a new toiletries product!
Tonight is belligerent bunny night, little !!!!!! just decided to eat a chunk of carpet. And after we bought him a whole raft of treats, toys and runs!0 -
Illicit carpet is always better than designated treats!!!0
