    Two more UUs for me tonight, just had a shower...

    Herbal Essences Hello hydration shampoo 400ml - WMBA, have LOADS of HE in the stash though!
    Veet Spray on hair removal cream 150ml - WDBA, it's an HG product of mine, makes doing my legs soooooo easy!

    Thanks for the info on what to do with stuff. I think I will get started on the list using an excel spreadsheet (yes, it is THAT bad).:rotfl:

    Oh I have an 8-tab spreadsheet to keep track of my stash, I also have them listed by category so I can sort them when I need to and work out what I have/want to use, then when something is opened it gets cut and pasted into the 'in use' tab, I have seperate tabs for make-up and totals as well.

    There's a reason I was called the spreadsheet queen at my last job :rotfl:

    FYI, don't be ashamed about putting your list up, here's mine....

    Yellow bath bomb. Think its from a boots gift set. It turned the wster bright yellow and did smell nice, but just didnt excite me. Wnb

    Cherry face mask from the same set - used this on my fiance as just wanted rid of it and had not long put makeup on haha! He said it didnt really do anything. Wnb

    Elie saab perfume sample. Wnb, not really my kind of scent, even though i would happily use it if bought for me

    Miracle touch foundation my hg - another three in the stash hehe.

    I think I am about to get in line for the naughty step, I really want to buy the Bare Minerals TSV, it is ages since I finished my last one and the Laura Geller I have is too dark, I am finishing a Smashbox one which I love, but they have added SPF and I gather the colours have changed and I have no stockist near me for me to be able to do a colour match. If I buy the BM from QV* I can always return if it does not suit.:( Another plus is that BM appears on some of the kind to animals lists.

    On Friday night I painted my nails with YSL Black Indigo and topped my ring finger nail but OPI's Polka.com.

    Just taken it off and replaced it with Urban Decay's Toasted, topped with Urban Decay's Sidecar. Pretty combination :D

    UUs Steam cream WBA this is really good and smells a bit like Liz Earle botanics stuff and Bath and Bodyworks sweet pea body lotion. Not as nice as I remember but WBA.
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Hi everyone

    I've been reading your thread the last few days and would like to join. I went through my stash today didn't realise I had so much. Need to make a list when I get time. My spending on H&B products has to stop.

    I've been really good today was so tempted to but the TSV on Q?C.:D I convinced myself that there will be another soon when I actually need it.

    Maybe I should come over to your place so you can teach me how to set up my spreadsheet.:beer: Your list is most impressive. You have many more nail polish than I do. I do have a lot of essential oils and weird stuff. But I guess if you can set up an 8-tab sheet I should be able to manage.:p I'll need a couple of days, though.

    No sign of the Floriography hand cream here either but I'm keeping my eye out. I have no hand cream currently so it could be justified, especially at that price! :D
