    That's exactly what I would do-open the large one knowing I can use the smaller if I get bored/need a change. I often find myself riflling through my stash to find a small or single use product in order to change things up a little

    I'm tend to just power on through with the large bottles, I'm doing it now with a 900ml bottle of tresemme shampoo, the annoying thing is though that the bottle is black so I've no idea how much I've used so far!

    I have another UU: sachet of B Resurfacing Serum. Was very impressed by this and think I'll buy a full sized soon with the voucher I got from Superdrug. It feels the same as the Gatineau Force Collagen serum for a fraction of the price.
    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!

    A quick question for you ladies regarding eyeshadow palettes, do you "clean" yours and how do you do it I have a couple of small older palettes that I use occasionally and was wondering if I should be doing something with them as they have been open a while

    Evening ladies. Not been around much as I am snowed under (no pun intended) at work at the mo. It doesn't look like it is going to let up anytime soon. Still, means I am not out spending money.

    Only one UU to report - Clinique Almost Make Up Parfait. WBA if I could but alas it has been discontinued. I have been trying the MaybellineBB Cream and so far it has been fine.

    One splutterer to report - Olay Aqua Physics Eye Cream which I use at night. It should be gone by the end of the week.

    UU - 12/13 Soap & Glory Clean on me shower gel 500ml
    Counting as 2 as its larger than standard size and im putting £2 in my jar. I used to love S&G but overindulged and my love affair is over to the point I endure rather than enjoy using them. Unfortunately I already had several of these in the stash and got given more for my birthday and Christmas from well meaning friends.

    I have the exact same one, most annoying isn't it!? Serious LHJ! :eek: but very :money: I'm sure, especially if you buy on special offer.

    Same here! I have 2 on the go (1 is a 2 in 1 for my OH) But i usually get them for £2 a bottle! Even in poundland it's hard to get 900ml for that much :)

    One OUT to report - OH's lynx shower gel. He's contributing to the pot too as he has a large stash too :rotfl: Smells nice, but he doesn't really pay attention to anything he washes with...he's got several more shower gels in the cupboard to use, so onwards and upwards!

    I have a few splutters going on so hopefully within a week or so i'll have a few more to go into the OUT pile :D

    3 UU's to start Feb.

    Hydraluron which I bought on 29th August, mostly use once per day so quite :money: Have new one to start tomorow.
    30g Jason Hand cream. WBA as I quite like Jason products (except the hair condtioner which is too thick to get out of the bottle!, think I will have to use brute force to transfer it into a pot).

    15ml Balance Me Cleanse and Soothe Face Balm MBA, may have another sample in stash.

    TA 2 part containers heat safe type hair spray - too sticky and leaves hair helmet like.
