    Oh god, I need to be in. Had loads of plans for getting rid of stuff in May, and only managed 4 (I think)!! Isn't that terrible?

    Feeling a bit tired after a late night out last night, so might use up a couple of bath/facial type things when I get home from work to kick June off to a good start. Although I have ordered some perfume which hasn't arrived yet. I also had a few INs in the post yesterday - some perfume oils and a sample of a Balenciaga perfume (which I love. Trying hard to resist buying a full size.)

    Hello all and many thanks Maddiemay for starting us off this month.

    I had a really busy May - I did stick to the challenge but did have some NBIs for my birthday as one of my friends bought me a lovely L'Occitane set. However, the trend is still a reduction in my stash month on month so am pretty pleased. I won't get round to posting last months OUT but did manage a grand total of 19 so fairly pleased with that.

    Have managed to start this month off as well with a UU this morning:

    Trevor Sorbie mousse - this is my HG mousse - always stock up when it is on offer in Boots as I don't have a mousse stash (apart from the TS ones).

    Hope you all have a great toiletry reducing month...

    May was an epic fail which ended with a overall gain of 49 items from when I started in January.

    Despite my poor progress I am in for June - Thanks Maddiemay for starting the tread.

    I will continue to tackle some stash relics alongside some of the nicer items to stave off boredom.

    Unsurprisingly I dont think I need anything this month - I have planned ins from Birchbox and Glossybox and the remains of an online order from bath and unwind still to arrive.

    However I already have ins to report courtesy of a handmade craft stall in the town centre today.

    1 shower gel
    9 bathbombs

    3 revlon lipsticks from a 3 for 2 in Superdrug.
    No more buying toiletries

    A UU:

    1. Sanctuary body lotion 75ml. Not a fan of this, nice scent but IMO too thick for a lotion, takes a long time to rub in and absorb. I prefer the body butter. WNBA but have several more minis and a full size to get through still!

    flying fox shower gel WNBA been used to clean the bathroom with, great for getting bath melt of the side of the bath.
    BS ginger shampoo WBA HG but have more so don't need anymore for now.

    TA
    Aquatic toothy tabs WNBA they had gone fuuny (still in dat) and I don't like them.
    12 items out ebay, I might have a few more to declare if they sell.

    There should only be another 20 something IN's this month including glossy, brich box (plus the free box for resubbing) plsu I am waiting for some products I have ordered. I have no other planned INS.

    This sounds really amazing! I don't live in glasgow (yet), but I will mention it to my friends who do. Mind you, I might not - I'll be really jealous if they get to go and I don't... Is the event taking place at the barnados?

    Forgot to mention, had a tube of toothpaste come in today, but there's not much point in declaring that. However, I am proud that I went into a shop that sells everything naughty, and I came out with nothing but a tube of toothpaste.
