    OK these are (more or less) my final sums for July, though there are about 10 more INs somewhere in the house......I'll just sneak them onto the stash list later :o

    Most of my INs are Philosophy shampoo/shower gel/bubble bath which I LOVE, so I succumbed in a rather big way! Well they did have a sale on......

    ....Oh, and the boots glitch :money:

    IN = 29
    NBI = 11
    GA/TA/SOLD = 9
    UU = 23

    So +8 on the month, oh well, must try harder! :D

    Thanks for the new thread.

    I'm up for another month and have today finally UU an old tube of Le Reve Clarifying Radiance Mask that's outlived it's welcome in the bathroom cupboard. WNBA can't recall how long I have had this and I can't remember the deal; however Le Reve is an Aussie party plan brand and most probably I felt obliged / pressured into buying this as part of a deal to get more of their stuff that is also still languishing in the cupboard.

    Thanks for starting August's thread. I would like to be in again - as my definition of 'unnecessary' needs work!

    Thank you Sundaysgirl! Will try to get round to doing a stash list this evening if I can fit it in. I have so many toiletries that are years (and I really mean years!!) old that desperately need using up. Here's to hopefully conquering my toiletries stash! :)

    Thanks for starting the thread. I am back in for this month.
    I have a UU - nothing exciting - Colgate toothpaste - did the job fine so WBA.

    I also have 2 INS - 2 x Sally Hansen nail varnish from Poundland of grey and green. I don't buy nailvarnish very often and like short practical nails, thought it was worth trying at £1 :o I'm quite liking the different colour of nail varnish on each finger nail, don't know what's in just now :p but think it looks a bit different. :)
    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.

    Thank you KT for starting us off this month... Count me in! :D

    A couple of UUs to start off the month:
    1. Bioderma Atoderm Mains Handcream 50ml - WBA, nice enough but I have only seen this in France
    2. L'Oreal Studio Hot Straight Thermo Straightening Spray 200ml - WBA, really good stuff - doesn't weight my hair down at all. It's all I've been using for the last 3 years, so I've now replaced it with something new to see what else is out there - the Elnette Volume one.

    Okayy, I have an idea - I would love to hear what everyone elses Holy Grail products are! Some of mine are long standing, and one is a recent instant-love-type! These are my top 4:

    HG:
    1. Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish - no surprise here, I'm sure this will be on many people's lists - it just does wonders for my skin!
    2. Garnier Ambre Solaire BB Cream SPF 50 (not the regular one in the Skincare section, but the new one that's found in the Suncare section) - Instant love! Moisturising, perfect colour for my skin tone and SPF 50!
    3. Melvita Hydrastim - a lovely moisturising gel that I wear under moisturiser, it just makes my skin look plump and dewy!
    4. Kerastase Lait Vital Conditioner - I never used to see the point in spending £ on conditioner, but after trying this one I cannot revert back to the more purse friendly things I used to use. It is incredibly light but very nourishing - I have waist long fine hair that tangles like a squirrel tail without conditioner - I used to need heavy conditioners to deal with that, but then my hair would be completely weighed down. This is light but super moisturising, and my fine hair is left full and bouncy! Love!

    Everything else in my stash is up for debate, and I will usually try new things when they run out! I have no loyalty to anything apart from the above 4 :)

    It would be great to hear yours too - feel free to put as few or as many as you like in your list!
