    A UU . L'Oreal Elvive Conditioner with Regenium for fine, mature hair, 250 ml. This was a pound shop buy that was used after I'd used up other, larger bottles of L'Oreal Elvive.
    As far as I can see it hasn't been made in years, so WIBA? doesn't come in to it. I didn't notice much difference from the Full Restore 5 that I'd used previously, which is to say, it's actually a very good conditioner.
    I've a strong suspicion it had sat unsold on a shelf for years before it made it into the pound shop....!

    So what does project Pan actually mean..I'm impressed by your list Sam, I didn't quote it cuz I didn't want my post to be huge :D

    I think it originates from America and pan relates to binning the item or using it up. I watched a youtube video on lush project pan not that I watch lush youtube videos much ( cough).

    UU's
    Neutrogena concentrated hand cream WBA HG

    Lush big blue bath ballistic WBA

    Gielly green body wash 50ml WNBA it was nice to use but not for the price they sell at.

    Organic surge hand cream lavender meadow WNBA too highly scented for me for use as a hand cream so I have finished it as a body lotion. It was not that effective as a hand cream.

    Nude replenishing night oil sachet WNBA this was really old and smelt unpleasant, glad it was sachet

    Nude cellular renewal moisturiser sachet WNBA there is never enough in sachet to actually know if you like a product. I still hate sachets and I am on a mission to get rid of them all.

    GA
    2x soap
    Shire sugar buff
    Untold perfume sample
    Elizabeth Arden skin balancing lotion sample
    Monu hand cream

    TA
    Neutrogena anti aging hand cream, this I found in my desk at work and it was about 80% empty. It smelt off so I binned it. Not on my stash list.
    BS hemp moisturising hemp balm, this has been opened for ages and I hate the stuff and I never going to finish it.
  • Bath tonight saw off 27. Ceridwen's Cauldron bath melt and 28. French Kiss bubble bar. WNB either again, they were really nice, but I prefer other Lush stuff.

    Going to be a late night, revising for my next exam tomorrow morning, boo :(
    No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January!
    UU: 5, IN: 2

  • Good luck for your exam Oxford Owl.

    UU

    Lush soot ball - Although a hit with DD I probably WNBA as it left the bath super messy.
    No more buying toiletries

    That sounds like an awesome bath cocktail, I may try!! :D
    (oh wait...need to use up stash first :()
    Good Luck with your exam!!

    So...I forgot to post some GAs that will be getting picked up tomorrow by a freecycler. Some may not be on the original list as I got them down from the loft:
    GAs:-
    Asda nail varnish remover (in house when moved in :()
    Lush Veganese conditioner 100ml (half used, not right for my hair)
    Percy reed miracle moisture conditioner (GWP tried once and didn't like it)
    Superdrug dry shampoo ( I have another that I need to UU before I buy more, I HATE this, WDefinitelyNBA, it does nothing!) sorry for rant lol, I'm peeeeeeeee'd off at myself for buying it instead of batiste.
    Ghost perfume 2/3rds used (had since 2005 :eek:)
    Ghost deep night body lotion 50ml ( GWP love this but I have SO much body lotion to get through I'd rather just use the perfume instead for scent :p)
    BS Japanese cherry blossom body butter 50ml (as above, too much lotion to get through)
    Bourjois nail varnish in rose lounge (very old, hopefully still some use in it)
    Barry M nail varnis Lilac foil (I think my sis gave me this, not for me though)
    Umberto Gianni nail varnish love letter (as above)
    Benefit her glossiness lip gloss (GWP, just old and unloved)
    13 tampons (I don't really use them, I kept a few for just in case)
    Lush Tuca Tucal 10ml sample (I don't like this)
    Models own pure plum lip gloss (GWP unused)
    An unused GWP eyeshadow brush
    Litna herbal toothpaste (here when moved in)
    Peter Thomas Roth face soap, shower gel,shampoo and conditioner from a hotel
    Lush Jackie Oats colour supplement (given to me by a friend who was emmigrating, not the right shade for me)
    Rimmel liveshow eyeshadow
    S+G shimmer body lotion 150ml

    so altogether thats 23 items neatly packed (stuffed!) into an old washbag.
    I'm pretty pleased with that :j
    I still need to post my holiday UUs, I haven't forgotton, just need to check what they are still :D
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    Well I've just been saved from 2 Dior INs by missing out on the Boots glitch again! :cool: I only have one bottle of eye make-up remover left and I wanted to get some of the Dior stuff, so it wouldn't even have been an unnecessary IN, bit annoying!!!!

    Morning All,

    Loving reading about the items people are targeting. Mine are:

    Botanics Brightening Cleanser - I think this has only one or two applications left now. Not been overly keen on it from the start but have persevered. I'm usually pretty good at sticking with something to get the satisfaction of a UU, pre challenge I had countless half used lotions and potions dotted about! Got another couple of cleansers I'm more looking forward to using so will be glad to get this gone.

    S&G Righteous Butter - Only a small pot I was using as handcream at work, since replaced with some 'proper' TBS' stuff, I've brought this home to use on my legs which get dry and I find it a bit too sticky for allover - again, only one or two more apps but I have also a full sized one of this too.

    Last one I'd say is some Tesco Skin Wisdom facial exfoliator - just cut the tube down and I reckon its two applications left at most.

    I will catch those IN up yet! :D

    Off to work now boo but Christmas to pay for so glad of the extra money :)

    Well I've just bought 2 Dior makeup removers and 2 Philosophy cleansers thanks to seeing your post :rotfl:

    I did need the eye makeup remover and the other items were essentially free thanks to the £37 of points I earned... Will count as INs once I collect :o

    Weird that it isn't working for you kadison - have you tried clearing cookies etc?
