    welcome to all our lovely newbies

    I have a uu: Percy & Reed colour & shine shampoo - a magazine freebie, I loved this but since I currently have enough shampoo to fill a bath with I won't be buying this anytime soon

    happy pampering, xo

    Ooo how exciting - I came home tonight to 2 bottles of right guard deodorant from the buzz people! So that's 2 INS for the month already! Quite apt, as I just arrived back from the gym, so perfect timing!

    I was at the supermarket earlier, and managed to avoid buying anything, though I did pass through the toiletries section, and was getting tempted buy hand creams...

    INS:

    - Dove deodorant. Go Fresh Cucumber and Green Tea. I like my non-aluminum better but for job interviews I am taking no chances of smelling anything but fresh.

    - 88 eyeshadow palette. Off Ebay £5. I got some old eyeshadows and some pallettes which never worked properly so they will be GA.

    OUT:

    One Planet deodorant. Nice but hard to find.
    Collection 2000 black eyeliner. It gives me panda eyes, there it is a TA.

    Hello all!

    I have my first UUs for this month, 3 x 40ml conditioners that you get with hair dye, 2 L'Oreal and 1 Garnier :)

    Welcome to all the new people.

    UU

    Lush bath ballistic I think it was a butterball - WNBA I prefer other ones.

    Sachet Shu uemura cleansing oil sachet - didnt like this any more than the first sachet I UU so WNBA.

    My DD's school is closed for voting tomorrow so we are planning a trip to the nearest city - there will be ins - I will declare the full damage after our trip.
    No more buying toiletries

    Good luck with the job interviews! I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this sort of thing...

    Trudij yes I do sometimes go away for weekends to visit family and do either take sachets or travel sized products with me, think I save them for this purpose but realistically I'd have to go away every weekend until the end of the year ( probably even longer!) to use them all :rotfl: so I am going to try and use a few a month which will be easier now I have a list so know exactly what I have. I feel in control now and am determined to make a dent in my 'treasure trove'

    Just popping by to report a quick UU:

    Charles Worthington Takeaways full volume conditioner 75ml

    Travel size conditioner, quite liked but am now on to my large Tresemme which should keep me going for the next few months!

    Now up to 20 days with no purchases, one fifth of the way to my target. Been making jewellery all night and shattered now so off to bed.
