    Plumps up the cushion and sits down in the naughty corner.

    IN's
    4 X Mitchum deodorant HG they were on offer for £2 in asda and I hate running out of it.
    2 X Neutrogena concentrated hand cream £1.99 from home bargains with 50% extra free, I know I don't need any more but could not resist and I do go through lots of hand cream
    pack of face wipes (running low)
    3 sugar scrubs, love them, do have more but I can't get this scent
    2 body lotions these love them, do not really need but again they are a really limited edition product from a small company so will probably not get them again.

    UU's
    ponche shower gel 100g WNBA did not like the smell
    S&G calm one calm all 75ml WNBA did not smell of anything and I am not a fan of S&G, most I have given away.
    Yes to carrots lip tint WNBA not my colour
    BOA smoothing body scrub WNBA was a present from my mom from her travels. It smelt lovely but did not actually scrub.
    Renew you hand masque sachet WNBA did not do anything and I have had it years so it had to be used.
    3 X sachet of garnier moisture match face cream WNBA
    Jungle solid conditioner WNBA I used to love this product but have really gone off it, I still have 2 more to use up.

    I still have an ELF parcel to come but that is mostly make up brushes. I have not been good but they were on offer at 50% off in my defence.

    I still have over 400 items (not including make up), I must write 100 lines saying I must not buy and face/ body products. I have been having a sort out and have found more stuff, I swear it multiplies when I'm not around.

    Hi!
    2 UU to start off April:

    Dove nourishing oil care conditioner 180ml
    TBS satsuma shower gel 60ml

    Would buy both again, both lovely. Far too much in the stash to use up first :o

    Have a good weekend all!

    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
  • 3 more ins - No7 for men energising face wash for DH. This was necessary as he was down to a 25ml GWP size.

    Right, I have finally made a decision around what I am including in this challenge! Decided to not include make up, nail varnish or perfume. As I said previously, these are things that I like to have lots of choice and don't necessarily want to UU.

    Always very interested to hear about other people's make up and nail purchases and what they are using :j Have really become addicted to beauty blogs and videos recently :D

    So now I have made that decision, I can declare INS from the last month or so :eek:

    IN30: Original Source Winter Seasonal Edition Orange and Cinnamon Shower Gel 250ml

    31: Original Source Cocoa and Vanilla Bubble Bath

    32: The Sanctuary Hot Sugar Scrub

    33: E45 Lotion

    34: E45 Nourish and Restore Lotion

    35: Thierry Mugler Angel Shower Gel

    36: Thierry Mugler Angel Body Lotion

    :eek: Quite a few things there, although I only technically bought the Original Source products. Didn't need either of these but really wanted to try the orange and cinnamon shower gel and there was a 2 for £3 offer on!

    The Hot sugar scrub was a gift and the E45 was free as part of Bzz trial. Got lots of sachets too but planning on giving those away. May give away the original E45 lotion too. The Thierry Mugler items were free with the perfume so technically weren't paid for :rotfl:

    Thankssssss kadison, I think I'll check out the body shop one in store! SPF30 sounds good to me :D

    I was advised to start using spf30 as I'd started noticing pigmentation (more than just my normal freckles), so I make sure to apply it daily year-round now!

    I do this and make a conscious effort to swap my eyeshadow, mascara and blusher around every weekend ready for the week ahead. I've been lazy with the eyeshadow this week though as I've been going into work early each day.

    One of these days I might learn how to do my make-up properly, now it's just powder foundation all over my face inc eyelids and under eyes, then whatever eyeshadow on the lid and some mascara. It doesn't look bad, I think I can get away with it as I wear strong-coloured glasses!

    I also use a bit of bronzer on my forehead, nose and cheekbones to highlight my face a bit, I don't do blusher as my face is naturally quite rosy, I certainly don't want to add any more pink!

    More INS: corsodyl mouthwash and pearl drops toothpaste. I also bought a new loofah, but that's not really a toiletry... I so far have 9 ins, and only 1 out... Must get cracking on some pampering this weekend!

    I have seen some bloggers have been doing a 100 day unnecessary spending ban, they allow themselves to buy things they need but not high end versions and they include things like coffees, lunch, magazines, candles, clothes etc in the ban. 100 days from now takes us to July, does anyone think they could manage that?

    (in the manner of Barney Stinson) challenge accepted!!

    It's my birthday two weeks after 100 days so it would be perfect timing for me (that and I'm actively pursuing freebies. Freebies are fine!).

    I do need to buy another japanese washcloth as OH threw my brand new one away by mistake I think, but otherwise I know there isn't a single thing I need to buy in the next 100 days. Probably not for the next 300 days, but I'll start with 100...

    Olay clarify lathering cloths - WNBA my daughter has been using these up to encourage her to soap her face.
