Comments

UU to declare:
7ml Weleda pomegranate moisturiser - I used this a few times and it was ok but mislaid it and it was out of date so repurposed as foot cream. WMBA.
250ml Wilko fruity citrus shower cream - WNBA although it smells nice the scent doesnt last.
Boots baby wipes - WBA but already have.
Lush Dragons Egg - DD loves these so WBA
and the ins from an order at the end of last month
Clarins brightening toner - the one in use is almost gone so required.
Clarins beauty kit which was an offer comprising:
face mask
Cleansing Water
Beauty Flash cream
with these came a total of 10 more freebies mostly sample size.
and from todays shopping trip:
7 bath bombs from Lush
2 of these were given away to DD friend.No more buying toiletries0 -
Home home to find two INS from BUZZ Right Guard women xtreme invisible. Did the test against my other deodrants and most were actually simular through teh Right Guard was most def best!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 sales0 -
I UU/TA today, only a sachet L'oreal Nude Magique CC anti fatigue cream which I put on my face, promptly removed as it as very orange and would not rub in well also after taking it off my face was quite tingly so the rest of the sachet has gone in the bin.
2 NPI went to Boots and was sooo tempted to buy some Max Factor on buy one get one half price, also was tempted by the Clarins online Boots offer with free gift. Two days ago I probably would have bought on both occasions so feel quite proud of myself.
I do plan to go to the Body Shop tomorrow as I need night cream and have a choice of 3 vouchers to use so will ask the staff who are always friendly and helpful which will be the best, hope to even out with a couple of UU's by Sunday0 -

Stay strong ladiesI know the grabbit board can be dangerous :rotfl:
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 time0 -
Blimey I was only one day late to the party and I had four pages to catch up on already - some mahoosive stash lists to blame no doubt :rotfl: I'm only jealous ladies
Thanks Trudi for starting us off this month - I am as ever resolutely IN - want to make May a good month as birthday next month so may have IN there, although I shouldn't assume
Welcome newbies :wave: I think you'll like it here, its very friendly
I've two IN and two UU to get the ball rolling for May:
UU - No. 7 Soft and Soothed Cleanser - its fine but its not standout enough for me to seek out, I'd use it if it was gifted though or on a mega offer. As the stash is whittled further down, I only really like to buy things I really like or really want to try and there's nothing exciting about this one.
Also finished is Imperial Leather Bewitching I think it was - shower gel - was blackberry blossom 'flavoured' and a fabulous vibrant purple which made for coloured suds, smelt wonderfully fruity - WBA
IN are L'Oreal Everpure Colour Care and Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, got both for a fiver including postage off Ebay was :T with that as I love this stuff
I can't think of anything I need in the short time - going away for a few days at the end of the month but should have enough minis to cover that or could decant a few bits and pieces. In days gone by it would have been an excellent excuse to buy allsorts!0 -
Hi everyone,
A few UU/TA's to report.
Dirty Works Supreme Cream Body Butter - Yay this has finally gone! I didn't really like this, it had a strong, kind of synthetic floral smell. It had a weird gel like texture and wasn't all that moisturising. WNBA
Cien Eye Cream - Havn't used a lot of this but it went out of date in July 2012 so I'm just chucking it! WMBA
17 Va Va Voom Mascara - A great mascara for creating volume, pretty cheap too. I used this to build volume and then used a different mascara to separate. WBA
DKNY Fresh Blossom Perfume - A lovely light and fresh floral scent. Easy to wear daytime scent. WBASeptember Grocery Challenge £0/£2250 -
Morning and OMG it's taking a Herculien effort not to participate in the Lancome glitch on the grabbit board!!! :eek::eek::eek:No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2023

Well I am not off to a very good start with two ins, but these were planned: Rainforest Shampoo and Conditioner from The Body Shop following recommendations on this board.
Like you emsjune I am trying to be very selective with purchases and aiming to replace what I do have with quality over quantity and well researched / recommended products, rather than buying tonnes of random stuff because it's on special offer.
I'll finish my stocktake and post up the list later this evening.Mortgage
Start January 2017: $268,012
Latest balance $266,734
Reduction: $1,278.450 -
Morning everyone
Hope everyone has got some sunshine - it's beautiful here again. Must get a move on so I can get outside and enjoy it.
First UU of May:
63: Wella colour fresh silver toner - Use this on my hair every now and then to stop the blonde looking brassy. WMBA but am using a purple shampoo now instead which I think does the same thing.0
