Hi All,

Decided to join this challenge after a rather eyeopening session of making a list of toiletries I have and calculating how much money I have spent. To be fair a lot of the these were buy one get one free or gifts, and I save my Boots points through out the year for the January Sales (can you see I'm trying to justify my spending?:rotfl:)

Well publish and be damned...

This doesn't include Make Up and Nail Varnishes

got to run, but just wanted to say welcome, you have been very brave, both listing and valuing your stash of products, a lot of us have been there (or still are), but it is helpful for lots of us to hang around here and celebrate our victories and confess our sins:rotfl:

Parisian, rosemary and asset - sorry to hear you're going through rough times.

A few UUs:

Aveda rosemary and mint shampoo 30ml - WNBA, didn't feel that it cleaned my hair properly, though had a lovely fresh scent

Soap & Glory Flake Away 50ml - WNBA, nice and scrubby but left a really oily resudue on my skin and found it vety difficult to rinse this and the scrubby bits off!

Gillette shave gel 200ml - HG and WBA... In fact, just bought some more, so 4 INs to undo all my good work!

It seems that the Flake Away is a love it or hate it product, I fall into the latter camp and won't buy it again. That said I am using up my body scrub stash and won't be buying anymore at all, gloves and a body brush will be fine for me.

Welcome Lucy Lemon.

Welcome Tracey2609 - you have some lovely things to use, I also have many of them:rotfl:.

I know many of you have S&G fatigue but I have only recently discovered that the original pink scent smells exactly like Miss Dior. I have never had that perfume but was given a sample in boots recently so I fished it out and I am now totally in love with that and S&G.

I also have ins to confess. I mentioned a while back that I wanted to try the Emma Hardie cleansing balm, well I gave in to the desire to have it and it has arrived.

I bought a set containing

100ml Moringa Balm
50ml Moringa Balm
10ml Plumping Serum

there was no cloth with this set but I already have a set of 3 of those from my birthday - they are lovely btw, the microfibre side grips your skin rather than gliding over it so it feels very effective.

I don't believe there is any hope for me.

Welcome Tracey2609 - think you have been very brave adding up the value of your stash - I think I would probably collapse if I ever did mine.

UU

75ml Colgate toothpaste - bought in a home bargains deal at 39p a tube - still have plenty left to go.

500ml Radox shower gel (green) - DH's favourite WBA.

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all ok!

I've got lots of GA's to report made up a couple of goodie bags for a couple of friends as it was their birthdays.

Original Source Shower Gel Raspberry and Vanilla
Sanctuary Body Wash
S&G Greatest Scrub Of All
Radox Spa Soothe Bath Soak Fig and Neroli Oil
Sanctuary Fruit Seed Scrub
Montagne Jeunesse Peel Off Passion Mask
S&G Mist You Madly Body Spray
Maybelline BB Cream Sample
L'Oreal BB Cream Sample

UU
S&G Clean On Me Body Wash - Really like this, have another couple in the stash.
Simple Toner - Very gentle toner, doesn't sting or irritate my skin. Have already repurchased.

INS
Vo5 Nourish Me Conditioner
Simple Toner

Two IN from yesterday in Boots - No. 7 Foaming Cleanser - love this so couldn't miss the opportunity to get some cheap while I had a voucher - will probably mean the Nivea face wash I'm using at the moment will get regulated to the back of the stash - I've one tube I'll probably finish first but they were BOGOF in Tesco so I've another to go and I'm not a big fan of it - feels heavy when applied, doesn't lather well and no noticeable benefits.

The other IN is Tresemme Freeze Hold hairspray to replace the one I recently UU - they didn't have the biggest 500ml bottle so I just got a 250ml - suits me better in some respects as I have a 100ml I was planned to take away but there's not that much left in it so I thought it might run out - the 250ml won't take up much more room so I'll probably go ahead and finish the smallest one on a day-to-day basis.

Looked at TBS bundle but wasn't tempted, LIB offers ditto - the Debenhams event is a diff matter however, I'm hitting pan in a big way on the Eye Bright out of my Benefit Smokin' Eyes kit (in fairness I've had it almost a year and use it daily) so I'm tempted by the Peek-a-Bright Eyes kit at the moment - don't like the idea of the Eye Bright in pencil form so don't want to get it separately... I've a few items selling on Ebay which end today and look fairly promising so might treat myself on the basis of those ending well! In one hand and out the other

Tracey2609

I have my first UUs to report:

Champneys Double Enzyme Mask
This has been lurking in my stash for years - so decided to use it this morning before my shower. WNBA - I think that this was part of a gift set so not sure if it's still available and I've got other face masks in my stash to use.

Dove Go Fresh Grapefruit/Lemongrass Shower Gel
Had this for a while - I like the smell, might be tempted to buy again but not until I've used up my stash!

Umberto Gianni Curl Friends Conditioner
This used to be my go to product - but I now prefer VO5 since their re-vamp so WNBA.

WooHoo - 3 UU's !!!
