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 sales0 -
Hi guys! I graduated from here a while ago and have managed to keep the stash under control somewhat. However I still like a challenge so I'm going to set myself a limit of £100 to spend on toiletries and cosmetics next year. I might be mad but I think its doable!Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170

UU:
finally finished the largest bottle of shower gel Rose & Geranium scent by The Grand Tour. It said it was made in the UK, so maybe somebody will recognise it. WNBA even if I could find it. No real scent and it never lathered the same way twice. Either too many bubbles or there wasn't enough and I used the same size squirt on the puff thingie.
Urban Decay Primer sample bottle with the wand. Liked it. Bought another one full size.
Final 10ml tub of a Crysantheum based night cream. Liked the smell. Won't buy again because our tv shopping channel has stupidly expensive postal charges.
Things seem to be moving along. I've got two tubes of handcream on the go that might be finished by years end.
Oh, and I forgot I'm tossing a Rimmel dual coloured eye/kohl pencil. It was a lovely forest and light green combo. It just always feels like it's dragging and that I get splinters in my eye after using it. There's nothing in my eye, it just feels weird.
Hope everyone that has been under the weather is on the mend and that it's not that cold for you.0 -

I've not been about for a couple of days, but I've still been getting through the stash!
12. Lush Dirty shower gel 250ml - WMBA, nice scent but I think Lush shower gel is way overpriced.
13. Lush Chou Chou I Love You Toothy Tabs - WNBA, hated using these! Normal toothpaste for me, thanks!
14. Aussie Miracle Moist shampoo 500ml - WBA, love this.
I've got a good few splutterers too, so hoping they'll be goners soon...No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January!UU: 5, IN: 2Total Stash: 99 - ultimate target 33 (year start 99)0 -
Thanks for asking Sundaysgirl I'm doing fine, will be made redundant on Monday. TBH the whole procedure has been a joke, blocking me from work and being downright difficult about everything. I will be so glad when it's over
I have a TA - 2 items - cleanser and toner from Mr T*sco liked them but have found them really stingy on my face so I thought bin them
I also have a light face cream from the range that I'm using on my feet as don't want it to upset my skin.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend, I'm afraid I am disliking this time of year even more so this yearLife is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

I have a TA to report, or rather a RIP
I went to do my nails this evening with my favourite Christmas colour, A Ruby for Rudolf by OPI, and found it died up. There was only a little left as I've had it for years, but somehow I was expecting it to go on for ever! I don't expect it's made anymore, so WNBA. I used Madras from Mavala instead.
There is also a UU. Sanctuary Honey and Rose Skin Cream, made by the monks in the Priory in my sister's village. Cannot buy again as the prioy has been closed. Shame, as it was quite good, though so expensive I used it as a hand cream.
I went shopping today and bought some toiletry presents which I won't count as they're going straight out again - 2 Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish (one the Christmas edition with 2 cloths). Also a complementary 30ml skin tonic. I've wrapped the ordinary cleanse and polish with 2 cloths from my stash, plus the toner, for my daughter. The special edition will go to my niece.
Have a lovely weekend ladies, and keep pampering.Toiletries Starting Stash Nov 2013:205

A lovely IN to declare after secret santa at work - Lush Christmas Eve bubble bar. Really liked me secret santa gift this year, it was really well thought out. I am undecided about whether I will keep the bar - a current skin condition started after I used one of their bath bombs, and I've been a bit wary of their bath stuff since, but even still, I am very pleased with the gift0

Have a couple of uu
Pai Kuwai & Jojoba bead face srub 5ml - this was the second use from this little pot but the product is so ineffective I rinsed it off and used up the last of:
Estee Lauder Perfectly Clear (I think that is the name) face scrub, this is a microdermabrasion type and is very effective so I am quite sad to see that go.
Asset - put all the ill feeling from work behind you if you can they don't deserve you, try to enjoy Christmas then get back on your feet in January.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
