I'm going to stop getting them as well, going to finish up 12 months of Amarya, just this months and febs to go then I'm stopping beauty boxes all together. I got a mini they're real for Christmas, but had just opened a full size No.7 one the day before so will have to wait 6 months to try it now.0 -
UU L'Oreal Everpure Colour and Volume Shampoo WBA and already have as this is proving to be a shampoo that doesnt upset my scalp. Using this along with a weekly Eucerin or E45 shampoo and its calmed right down.
Shampoo and conditioner is one area I have now under control in the stash.0 -

You don't have to make a list if you don't want to but it does help some people. Welcome :j0 -
I have 4 INS to report today but they were free products so not too bad I didn't actually buy them.
I have an unbranded shampoo and an unbranded conditioner from a product trial
I also have a sachet of loreal shampoo and a sachet of loreal conditionerSealed pot challenge 18750 -
I've used £5 of Am*zon vouchers I won with GfK to buy an Olay Anti Wrinkle Firm and Lift Day Cream (SPF 15).
My jar came post - free for under a fiver. I prefer jars as you can use every scrap up, and I was pleased to see that it's more than double the price in a tube at B0ots. (£10.20)
I do have some other creams to UU but wanted a day cream with SPF as I only have the Avon BB - and Olay is a fave.
Resisted buying anything from Avon, though was so tempted...
NBI's - Non Bought Ins. 250 mls each of unbranded shampoo and conditioner to trial. :money:
Both bottles are identical, apart from 'Shampoo' and 'Conditioner' in tiny print, so they now sport a large S and C on the labels for identification.
The shampoo actually looked like conditioner too (it wasn't, it lathered) so I'm glad I did this! It looks a quality product, which is pleasing.
So, nothing out of my purse, but 3 INs. None strictly unnecessary, as I am now down to 1 bottle of conditioner plus my mammoth bottle of 2 in 1.
Edit... So that's me trialling, Laura16 trialling... anyone else?!Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -

I'm in again (I'm always late to the party)
So much on recently, but have been following in spirit.
Back later to update ins/UU
Have a good evening all0 -
6 - Some soap, I think it was L'Occitane, used up. Might buy again, it was OK, but that might be due to it being old I don't know.
7 - threw away some Avon sun cream that had split. Wouldn't buy again. It was really thick with a strong smell and gave me spot the minute it touched my skin *drama alert*
8 - threw away a Barry M lipgloss that was a lovely colour but made my lips sore when I wore it. Again, probably due to the fact that it's old. I found in the bottom of handbag I haven't used for ages.
£3 in the pot!Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:
