  • *Phew!* Only just finished reading the entire post. Honestly, my eyes were out on stalks reading some users stash list! 0.o Sooo much stuff!!

    Im a wannabe minimalist make up girl (with a baaaad nail varnish addiction admittedly!) So my make up is held solely in my make up bag and I've only got about three bottles of perfume to my name.
    Horrors of Horrors, my all time favourite perfums has squirted its last today! *sob* it was With Love by Hilary Duff. Gorgeous bottle... I cant find it anywhere!!

    Afternoon, hope everyone is well. Time seems to be going too fast and work seems to take up all my time recently. Today is dedicated to wrapping and turning my lounge from presents to parcels and I need to get the tree up.

    UU's
    Lush merry Christmas massage bar WBA love the scent of this and kind of sad to see it go.

    Blistex intensive moisturiser lip balm WBA but still have 2 more in stash

    2 other bath bombs

    Brightside bubble bar WBA

    INS
    14 bubble bars which I won
    Face cream another win
    12 items from nickory bath treats but this does include 7 soap samples which are really quick to use up
    5 items from birchbox
    5 items yves rocher order
    1 neutrogena hand cream from advent from my sister
    3 items from future primative which again includes a soap sample so again a quick UU

    I think that brings me up to date.
  • So an exciting week for me in the toiletries world!!
    I have been very busy working so not able to pop in until today, it will probably be the same next week :(
    I have to declare the following:

    UUs
    -Lush Potion Body lotion (Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!) WNBA I did like it in the end but I prefer other lotions.
    -Lush Bombardino Bath Bomb(think I might have declared already but it wasn't ticked off my list so just in case I didnt) WDBA loved this :j
    -Lush Shoot for the Stars Bath Bomb WBA very nice this was :D
    -Lush Dorothy Bubble bar WBA I do like this but wouldn't buy often.
    -Lush Retread conditioner WDBA its my HG and I have replaced as I need this for my dry ends, I am alternating with other conditioners to use the non HG ones up :D
    Sold/GAs (all Lush)
    -Gorilla Perfume minis (probably not on list as found them in loft stash) WNBA as a set, I like bigger bottles
    -Red rooster soap100g WBA
    -Scentenary soap WDBA HG scent but have lots of soap so had to downsize some.
    -North Pole Soap WNBA do like but prefer other scents, have more in stash.
    -Ne Worries Pas bath bomb WMBA I do like this but prefer others, one left in stash.
    -Secret Garden bath bomb WNBA never even used it and had it too long so decided to sell on
    -Ruby red slippers bubble bar WBA have another in stash just needed to downsize
    -Therapy solid massage bar WBA but only in new formular and if i was pregnant/post natal
    -Each peach massage bar WBA in new formular but not until I needed a massage bar which will be a long time away haha
    -Karma soap 100g WBA but too much soap atm
    -Tiny hands moisturiser bar WMBA but too much handcream to get through atm
    -Sugar Scrub WNBA prefer snady santa or buffy
    -Candy Moutain WBA and will but this was last years and not a good colour for me
    -You've been mangoed WNBA don't really like melts that much apart from Floating Island
    -Jungle solid conditioner WNBA was a gift and prefer HGs
    -Shine so bright repair balm WNBA probably really good but I don't have need for it and I always forget to use things like that.
    -Dream steam and moon and stars steamer tabs WNBA again were a gift and I don't really use stuff like that.

    and finally...some INs
    -Lush Gloog shower gel 500ml
    -Lush Tramp 500ml for the OH
    -Fizzy o Therapy bath bomb
    -Randy Butter shower smoothie

    I know, its why we are all here. I think I had buried my head in the sand about my stash until I wrote it all down :eek:
    Its getting better already though having been on here since september :beer:
    Hopefully we can help you with your nail varnish addiction, I know there are a few like minded people on here.
    Sorry that your fave perfume ran out, have you tried looking on ebay?

  • No used ups, just tossed:


    Clinque GWP gloss and lipstick on the same tube thingy. Would not pay for the gloss, way too sticky, kept getting my hair stuck to my lips. The lipstick snapped off the second time I used it and fell on the floor. Same they were a lovely deep raspberry colour.


    Bottle of Ojon hairspray/thickener. Forgot I had it and when I needed it the top was so plugged up it wouldn't squirt despite running under hot water and stabbing at the hole with a pin. Too expensive and difficult to purchase.


    It warmed up to 2C today. My freezer is full so, my turkey is buried in the snow on my deck and covered with a plastic cool box, so the dog doesn't go looking for it.


    Enjoy what's left of your weekend!

  • Some UUs:

    - LUSH Christmas Eve bubble bar, like this but like others have said there's not much fragrance to it now.
    - Wilko Skin Therapy 3 in 1 fragrance free face wipes

    INs from a weekend away are a load of Miller and Harris minis but we will use those jointly, they smell lovely:)



    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

    Hello, hope everyone's well! I'm on my phone so can't catch up too well, but hugs to all who need them and festive cheer all around!

    Two more UUs -

    17. NSpa salt scrub - WNBA, leaves you really greasy!
    18. Nivea Express Hydration Primer - WNBA, more of a moisturiser than a primer, and have a HG day cream already.

    That takes my stash down to 74 :o:o can't believe it! I reckon that there's 41 more items to go until I've graduated - I've ditched 120 something since September!
    No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in January!
    UU: 5, IN: 2
    Total Stash: 99 - ultimate target 33 (year start 99)
  • Ooops, Think I'll have to go and sit on the naughty step. 2 very non essential Ins today:

    TBS Body Butter 50ml - used £5 O2 Voucher so Free
    TBS Cocoa Butter Shower Cream - Had £3 joy card so this Cost me £1

    Well.. it would have been rude not to!!ION I have a UU too..

    Clinique Repairwear Laser focus serum sample from a while back. WIBA? Probably not, haven't noticed much difference except it makes my make up look more polished, but then I haven't been using it as recommended, just on days I wear make up which isn't very often :rotfl:I also have 2 more in the stash :o

    Incidentally I have a question, I know the whole cleanse/tone/moisturise routine you're supposed to have, but I don't like cream cleansers, I need to "wash" my face iyswim. Do you still need to use a toner after using wash off cleansers or does the water do the toning for you?

    I'm in my early 30s and thought I should maybe cobble some sort of routine together :P
