    Some actual OUTs from me :eek:

    5 - Soap and Glory handfood - used up as body butter in the end. OK, but had that Soap and Glory smell. I need something I bit different now.
    6 - Radox nourish bath soak - quite nice. A bit generic, but good for the price.
    7 - Avon rasberry and hibiscus shampoo - made my scalp itchy and flaky...and it's Avon so obviously would buy again anyway.
    8 - Lush the comforter bubble bar - gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    Yves rocher hydra micellaire water 50ml WBA I liked it but I'm not allowed any more till I have used some toners up.

    Lush Christmas Eve bubble bar WBA not my favourite scent but not bad.

    Skin balm sachet WNBA smells like an old hospital so I have used it on my. Feet, one still to go

    Lush fever massage bar WBA shame this was discontinued several years ago.

    See when you say that, I'm thinking maybe a head rest?

    !

    My head never touches anything, not in the car not at work and not even the chair in my lounge. Every hair style I wear is centred at the back which is why I have put it down to how I wear my hair. I don't wear my hair loose very often especially week days ( work).

    Thank you for your help, it is very puzzling. At least I can use up the coconut oil I have.
  • News to report - a few UUs
    No7 High Definition Mascara - brush clogged up so in the bin (need mascara recommendations for ones that will last for the day without smudging!)
    Samples of No7 Protect and Perfect intense serum and day cream - WBA for both, just working my way through the stock pile.
    Bio Oil 60ml just gone too - loved it on my just epilated legs - but too expensive unless on offer (could be a HG but considering trying some other body oils first)
    Couple of ins via the Boots/Dior glitch - mascara and facial wash and spluttering Take the day off - will finish very soon and WBA - great for shifting eye make up. Also about to use up Soap and Glory Clean On Me - like it but the smell is very sweet so might not buy again.
    Finding this whole process very therapeutic - I'm targeting half finished stuff at the moment so I am slowly clearing the shower (three conditioners to use up) but I'm also enjoying using products I like and clearing the stash!
  • UU

    TBS small orange shaped soap - this may have been OK had I used it when fresh but the fragrance had long since disappeared. Have several more of these to go in various fruit shapes. Think its safe to say WNBA but its one from this months hit list gone.
    No more buying toiletries
  • Oooh Hello!

    I stumbled across this thread but I've started this all by myself not realising there are other people doing what I've started on my own!

    I haven't made a list of products that I have, but just decided that I need to use stuff up before I buy anymore.

    I do have a couple of gift sets that I was given last Christmas, I'm either going to give them as gifts this year or stick them on eBay, but they are a bit heavy!

    UU:

    14. Garnier Moisture Match for normal skin 1.5ml - WNBA, this was a little rich for day use for me.

    Unlikely to have anything else to report until after my weekend away, even then I think it will be minimal as I've already UUd all the easy targets.

  • There are lots of places collecting for Christmas boxes and gifts for those who can't afford to give their children presnets at Christmas. I know my local authority always collect, that's what I'm saving things for along with O2 freebies etc that I don't want myself.

    My snow fairy lives for another shower it seems. I will probably have an IN tomorrow as its my Birthday month so will need to spend my £5 LYB gift won't I:money:
    This month I'm really just trying to use as many of the things open as I can. Birthday at the end of the month and I'm sure I will end up with a few bits.:)
    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 sales

    Happy Thanksgiving! The turkey has been cooked and eaten. Pumpkin pie is loved by the kids and hubby, I just don't get it.

    Hope everyone is well. My roadtrip to the coast went well.

    Prevage sample. 4ml. It's lovely. If and I do mean if, I ever use up my moisturizer stash, I think I will invest in this if they still make it.

    Used up four individually wrapped facial wipes on my trip. Came to the conclusion I like the wet ones best, not the ones that you have to hold under the tap and then use.

    Sachet of Yves Rocher foundation (of some type). Not bad but I never use enough foundation to buy it and I've several BB creams to use up.

    Tibetan Crysanthemum Matrixyl 3000 Cream. 10 ml tub. Nice smell and have a final one to use up.

    Tossed an Estee Lauder Lash Primer Plus. GWP size.
    I just didn't like it, so tossed it. I don't really understand these products but I did prefer the Dior one. I think there is another one lurking in the stash somewhere but I'm in no hurry to find it.

    The clutter is becoming manageable. I'm also learning what I like and don't like. Turns out if I wear a foundation or BB cream during the day, I like to clean it off with a wet facial wipe and then use a creamy or milky cleanser followed by a toner. Feel like I really get it all off that way. And the facecloth isn't totally ruined with makeup.
