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.

Me too! Apart from maybe some scrub at some point (quickly starting to prefer TBS ones!), I have no plans to buy any more S&G for some time, I'm thoroughly sick of it now!:eek:

Right, I have some updates...

Used Up
Boots Sandcastle Bath Fizzer x 3
Dentyl Mouthwash Smooth Mint 500ml
No7 Beautiful Skin Quick Thinking Wipes (30)
Philosophy Field of Flowers - Peony Blossom 480ml - WNBA, nice enough but coming to the conclusion I only really like the highly scented ones, so will be sticking to those for future orders!
Revlon Colourstay mineral foundation 9.9g Light medium - WNBA, find mineral foundations too faffy and had thrown the last of this away in a huff over how dry it made my skin look!

NBI, brought over from ebay stash! This is the only thing I had listed that I really wanted for myself, so I took it off! Really looking forward to trying all the scents!
L'Occitane Fleur Cherie Shower Gel 75ml
L'Occitane Green Tea Shower Gel 75ml
L'Occitane Shower Gel For Men 75ml
L'Occitane Pivoine Flora Beauty Milk 75ml
L'Occitane Pivoine Flora Shower Gel 75ml
L'Occitane Rose 4 Reines Shower Gel 75ml
L'Occitane Rose Aurore Radiant Body Milk 75ml
L'Occitane Spring Cherry Shower Gel 75ml

I also have a couple of *ahem* Dior orders on the way Whoops

sam.4000

GA
Nail polish remover ( needed for work)
Cotton wool pads (needed for work)
First aid beauty body moisturiser 56G

I have more hand cream that was on my stash list. I need to sort out a better system for keeping my list up to date. I have another BS vanilla hand cream and another neutrogena that are not on my list to add.

An non bought in - a Celebrate lip balm from Lush (last year's Christmas range) given to me by my friend who had two I love it, but oh dear, I do have a lot of lip balm...

I also now get to have and use the things I reported last week from the Lush Christmas range - my friend has taken her half of the box, so this morning I had a lovely shower with Ponche shower gel and moisturised with Celebrate body lotion

Just picked up my Boots order so IN:

3-4. Philosophy Purity Made Simple cleanser 90ml x 2
5-6. Dior Instant Eye Make-up Remover 125ml x 2

Morning all.

Welcome newbies.

Have two uu

No7 Moisture Lotion - WBA, it is gorgeous, already have two more in the stash though.

Richard Ward Volumiser Root Booster - 50ml - This does the job but if I use it every day it makes my hair dry and for that reason I WNBA, having said that I have two more in the stash.

Despite having reported a few uu I have still to finish anything in my Project Pan, I really didn't make it easy on myself.

UU - Elemis Pro-radiance Flash Balm 15ml This has shown me the hidden MSE value of GWPs as this saved me a fortune, cos now I know I never need to buy this product. I quite liked the powerful smell, but would be more fitting if it were a mens aftershave balm rather than a cream for my face.

The tube lasted ages and ages as I used it so sparingly due to the heavy / sticky texture and still it sat like an oil-slick on top of my skin all day. Glad to be shot of it!

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!

Hello! :wave:

I don't have a list either, but I do try and keep all my stuff in boxes in one place so I can actually see how much I have! :eek:

Can anyone recommend an alternative to the percy and reed no oil hair oil for fine hair? I am considering either buying another mini off ebay or the full size which is about £15. Would be good to hear about alternatives though.

I have fine hair but a lot of it. It can be very frizzy in the heat or if there is any moisture in the air.

Thanks everyone

My hair is similar, but not really inclined to frizz, but many products are far too heavy for it. My HG was an Ojon leave in Glossing Cream, which was discontinued, reviews of it's replacement were not great, so I did not try the new one.

Someone here recommended Aveda Pure Abundance Style Prep, my local stockist gave me a sample and I bought the hairspray. The Style Prep really suits me, so I bought a full size. I got the Percy & Reed oil as the magazine freebie and love it, not sure how the prices compare, but I think one or the other will be staples for me. I also use PK Elasticizer about once a week.

UU An Avon Face Scrub and L'Oreal EverRiche Shampoo sachet.

IN's
3 bars luscious hand made soap (1 of these is for OH, so only counting 2 in, as his stuff is not included in challenge)
A practically full 125ml pump Clinique DDML bought for £2.25 in CS - my bargain of the week:j

Pleased I'm not the only one to think this about the scent and consistency - mine is almost UU'd and this is one Elemis product I won't be sorry to see the back of!

Welcome! :hello:

I don't have a list either, I keep putting it off - might be a job for the Christmas break when I have a few *cough* spare hours to spend on it!

I do, however, so the same as others on here - keep everything together in boxes, make-up bags etc. That way I have a very good idea of what I have and know where to look for a replacement once something is spluttering. This has made a real difference to my stash (and purse!) as I used to often buy replacements when in fact I already had one in my stash!
