    evilsquid - I guess it's good (but also sad) news that the divorce is finalised, you get closure? Definitely a reason to treat yourself though.

    sam.4000 - cant believe how much you've reduced your stash by!

    kadison - that's mad about your friend's pregnancy! Hope you manage to sort things with your other friend.

    I'm feeling so tired and rundown, have developed a horrid cold over past few days and yesterday was a looong day due to working away. I only managed a measly two UUs:

    2. Colgate mini toothpaste - WBA

    3. Philosophy Purity Made Simple 3 in 1 cleanser 6ml - hard to tell from just two applications but this left my skin feeling baby soft so WMBA.

    Homewards bound now and really want to head straight home for a long hot bath and then fall into bed, unfortunately I have to go to a drinks reception for work and be sociable first :(

    First UU of the month - L'Oreal EverRiche shampoo. I liked this, it was my first positive experience with a sulfate free shampoo, and I have two more bottles in my stash (bought while on offer).

    I think I'll have some more use ups tomorrow, I seem to have a couple of splutterers that will never end just now!

    sam.4000 - 900ml of Tresemme, I feel your pain, that stupid little cap which is fixed on so you can't decant and have to balance it upside down halfway through.

    De-lurking to say you can decant. I bought Tresemme in one of those sample size bottles where you get various products for, say £1.25 to see if I liked it. I do, very much so :T

    So I decant into this smaller bottle. It does pour out of the cap. I tend to drop the big bottle when my hands are wet.

    Hmm a few ins this week, getting close to building a stash if I'm not careful l:

    2 x Sanex dermo invisible anti-perspirants
    Superdrug Naturally Radiant Foam cleanser with Muslin cloth: Was on offer so thought I'd buy it. Can't wait to use it.
    Sleek Be Beautiful BB - Very excited when I saw this. It's especially made for dark skin. Have a feeling I will be using it regularly as I seem to be losing my youthful glow due to stress at work :-(
    Colgate Fluorigard Daily Rinse Mouthwash- Was reduced and has good reviews so will give it a try.
    Superdrug Soft & Silky Ultra Towels


    Uus:
    Superdrug baby wipes - WIBA? Yes if on offer. Removes make up without leaving my skin too dry.

    Gadi 21 Minerals Hand & Nail Cream Milk & Money: WIBA? No, was part of a buffer set which was frankly overpriced and the main ingredient was paraffin. Glad it's finished.
    Burt's Bee Hand Salve: WIBA? Yes on offer. Very effective for moisturising hands and comes in a handy small tin which saves space in my handbag.
  • Used up a Ne Worry Pas bath bomb and a pot of Catastrophe Cosmetic face mask tonight in my bath. Probably wouldn't buy the bath bomb again, although it was nice it is hard to get hold of (Lush Retro) and not very strongly scented or excitingly coloured... The face mask I WDBA though, it's my favourite! (Well, WD swap my empty pots for!)
    Having said that about the scent, it does appear to be sticking well to me! I smell like a big Parma Violet, hurrah! :)
    No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January!
    UU: 5, IN: 2
    Total Stash: 99 - ultimate target 33 (year start 99)
  • I'm in again this month if you'll have me! Thanks for starting us this month Sundaysgirl!

    I have 2 UUs to report - Well technically they're the same thing but 2 bottles and they have been real LHJs lol

    Palmers Cocoa butter formula 250 ml and 50 ml WBA this is a HG, I have another open though :o

    who makes this? :)

    Right Guard Xtreme, got it in the 99p shop so hoping they have some when i get round to going. A few more items added to my list that i forgot were in my weekend bag ops.
    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
  • More UU

    Lush christmas eve bubble bar (I think - as DD had mostly added it to the bath before I was looking) WNBA its not my favourite.

    Colgate max protection toothpaste - WBA

    Hello Kitty mouthwash - WBA DD likes character mouthwashes.
    No more buying toiletries

    Hi all

    Have a uu

    BS Shea Shower Cream - 60ml, I found this a bit thinner than their normal offerings but other than that I liked it, nice scent.
    Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

    A LHJ UU to report... Yayyyyyy!!!!
    Argan 5 Dry Body Oil 200ml - a very nice oil, and the bottle lasts AGES with daily generous use (I get through moisturisers SO much quicker!). Would recommend but PWNBA anytime soon as I'm sick of oils now!
