    UU:

    8. Aussie Miracle Moist shampoo 300ml - I love this, one of my HG shampoos as it makes my hair feel in great condition and smells fab. However... until it was pointed out on here, it never occurred to me that such a brand might test on animals. So i'm not sure if I WBA, for that reason. Though I suspect sadly the majority of skincare/cosmetics companies do test on animals indirectly.

    And despite my best intentions, I have INs:

    1. Elemis PCMC 15ml
    2. Elemis PC night cream 15ml
    3-5. Elemis shower gels, 50ml - GWPs
    6. Elemis hand & nail cream 20ml - GWP

    But definitely no more!

  • Back in again if you'll have me! Thanks KT for starting the thread. I'm getting a bit hopeless at this, onwards and upwards.

    I have a UU - Clinique liquid facial soap - WBA, I love their skincare products, but will research cheaper brands too. I'm loving the sound of the superdrug cleanser you have all been raving about. BUT it will have to wait until I'm rid of my stash of cleansers/face washes.

    I have opened a Clarins gentle clarifying and cleansing fluid - I've had this so long I'm sure it should have gone off! But it looks and smells ok so we shall see.

    I have a splutterer too - Sanctuary Moisturising Butter Scrub, I've cut the top off and everything. I do love this but I suppose will investigate cheaper products.

    I'm trying to get to a point I only have 1 of everything, and they're good products without having to be premium brands, is that even possible?

    *sigh*

    *virtual hugs for people who need (or even want) them*

    This week has been a horrid one, me and OH have split up, its been a while coming as we both wanted different things and couldn't really ignore that any longer or hold out for him to have a change of heart. Sensible but very sad :(:(:( Feeling a bit lost at the moment. This year has been horrible so far, I hope my luck is about to change, fingers crossed

    So sorry to hear this. Hopefully it's a new start for you both. :grouphug:
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    Because eventually sellers will get fed up and sell elsewhere, I have done and others will and over time that will affect them. I was shocked at the way they treat me and from now on I will only buy on there.

    Yip :( this is what's happened to me. I now sell via f/b, gumtree or preloved, initially I didn't think it was not as much money but once ebay and paypal got their thieving hands on it there wasn't so much, so actually haven't lost that much.
    It has made me take stock at what I have :Aand am loath to buy too much there now, so all in all a good thing as my house is full to bursting anyway :(

    Back on topic, no purchases so that is good, also no UUs either.
    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and hugs to everyone that's needing them :)
    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 time

    Just caught up on the thread for the past few days. Shocking really how many of us have had Ebay problems. I'm going to look into selling on gumtree and facebook instead - thanks for the tips everyone.

    Lovely to see you VALM - you have been missed.

    So sorry to hear your news emsjune78 - thinking of you.

    I have a few INS :o planning on posting them at some point this evening. Spent a fortune in Boots :o

    Sorry to hear your news emsjune hope you can take some time to spoil yourself!

    Have UU a bottle of Simple moisture boost hydro mist - WBA as it's quite a nice moisturiser, good for travelling with, sticking in the swimming bag, or as a cooling face spritz. I won't buy another one for a little while though, as I have quite a few moisturisers atm.
  • Well I'm on fire today! another UU

    Sainsburys Skintherapy Round the Clock Moisture Cream. Did the job, no complaints, not sure they do it anymore though so couldn't buy again if I wanted to!

    Sorry to hear Emsjune78.

    I have some ins and outs to declare.

    INS
    7 elemis items ( I blame Sunday girl, well that's the excuse, but thank you posting it on the grab it thread)
    1 perfume

    Outs
    3 items ebay
    17 GA's to sister and friend including body scrubs, lotions, washes, perfume, face cream
    The gilted elf shower jelly 240g WBA I do have another small pot in stash. But lush is going down fast in my estimations they are stopping accepting their 10% vouchers at the end of October even though their is no expiry date on them. I still have 3 left and I doubt they will be used. Lush have stopped every incentive and pushed up the prices and there are so many companies that sell similar products.

    I can definitely see that my stash is going down I think I am close to getting rid of 200 products since starting this. I still have glossy and birchbox to arrive this month.

    Hi my names Sally and Im a beauty product hoarder!

    I would like to join this group if possible! I am going to spend tomorrow afternoon/evening going through all my stashes and then post what I have here. Moved house 2 months ago and havent unpacked alot of it yet, so I really need to sort it all out!

    For example I bought 2 packs of facewipes then had a quick rummage and found three more unused packs in my stash that I had forgotten I had bought so its just getting ridiculous now!
