UU
Etat Pur purifying mask - WNBA I do not like the smell - more left to UU though.
Lush Dragons egg - WBA one of DD's favourites.
Weleda almond cleanser 28ml - WNBA didnt smell great and I dont really like cream cleansers.

I appreciate that others would probably be able to use this lot up in about a week, but as someone who isn't used to pampering, I've tried to set myself a realistic goal without going over the top.
Hopefully this is achievable and I'll be able to start posting some use ups soon!Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician....0 -
Babafette - when you look at all the things you want to use laid out like that you realise how much space they take up, I'm sure you'll get that lot polished off by Christmas. Is the Body Shop Cinnamon & Nutmeg wash an old line, I've never seen that and I love that kind of scent? Lovely lamp you have.
Have two uu
Bare Minerals Prime Time Foundation Primer - 15ml, this lasted ages, it did a good job and I WBA but have lots of other primers in the stash including a couple more of these.
Lancôme Dreamtone 1 5ml, I have replaced this with a 7ml one and will make a decision after that one has been used on whether I WBA, I will say it feels gorgeous on the skin and so it blooming should for the price. No breakouts from this so that is a massive plus point.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Yes, all the little bits do take up quite a bit of space, not half as much as my actual stash though.
The Body Shop cinnamon and nutmeg exfoliating body wash is indeed a very old line. I absolutely adore cinnamon so I did my usual thing at the time and purchased several bottles when it was discontinued and reduced some years ago. It still smells lovely and I have a couple of bottles left in the stash.
I also have my first use up to post from last night! One of the Woode & Brown conditioning shampoo sachets is gone. I have one left which I will try and use tonight and hopefully I should be able to finish a couple of other sachets after my shower later.

I am sure that you will soon work your way through your PP's now that you have identified them, btw I have serious lamp envy:D
Have a good day ladies.
A UU of 100ml Damask Rose Cologne I used to share an office with two guys and would only wear very light perfume or cologne in the working environment, I once worked with a young lady who used to apply a very strong musk perfume several times daily and it was horrific breathing it in all the time, a friend had a similar experience in the days when BS first brought out Vanilla perfume, she said it was like living with a bowl of custard under her nose:rotfl:The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

Wow, that's a lot of things! Good luck getting through them. I agree that it helps so much to sort of set your sights on something and then focus on using it up
I have two more UUs so far today!
24. Feel Good Formulas Lavender and Lemongrass shampoo 30ml - used as bubble bath. WMBA, I don't usually like lavender but this was a really lovely scent. Can't comment on its effectiveness on hair though. A nice hotel freebie.
25. Lush Gold Fun 100g. WMBA, love the scent (Honey I Washed the Kids), but don't love the idea of Fun. I thought it ran out a lot quicker than a normal bubble bar, and was quite messy to store. I think I'll stick to the soap and shower gel variations of the scentNo Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January!UU: 5, IN: 2Total Stash: 99 - ultimate target 33 (year start 99)0 -
And one more UU hits one of my targets, WOOOOOO :j:T:j
26. Sea Vegetable 20g. This was a sample given to me by my parents, but I actually ended up really liking it! I don't know if I'd buy it again, but I did enjoy itI know 20g isn't a huge amount, but it counts for me because otherwise I'd hold onto a tiny piece of everything so as not to run out…
So there's only 40 items left in my Lush stash! I think I'll lower my target to 30 by Christmas when I've hit my other two targets - that might be a bit ambitious, but we'll see…
The 10 I'd like to use are:
1. So White bath bomb
2. Soot Ball bath bomb
3. Amandopondo bubble bar
4. Pumkin bubble bar
5. 9 to 5 cleanser 240g (LHJ much??)
6. Eau Roma toner 250g
7. Smitten hand cream
8. Chou Chou toothy tabs
9. Rudolph face mask
10. Noriko soap
And, having said that, there goes Smitten (number 27). I had no idea it was spluttering, silly black tube!No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January!UU: 5, IN: 2Total Stash: 99 - ultimate target 33 (year start 99)0 -

No need to apologise, it didn't take much persuasion! Not feeling guilty about it as I have two nice pressies for OH and the items for me are just a by-product of that... :A
I was sorely tempted by the Space NK deal but luckily for me the GWP had sold out by the time I looked - a narrow escape!MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0
