Does anyone have any tips for not going overboard in the January sales? I think I need to set some rules for myself incase I get tempted. I'm thinking 1) only buy HG products, and only then as long as I don't have any already "in stock" waiting to be used up. 2) Otherwise, NO TOILETRIES!

I wouldn't ask for my advice I've gone nuts in Lush and that's without a sale :rotfl:
*but they're limited edition* she whines!

I have another UU to report this evening:

Lush Dream Cream - Bought this in the summer after I caught the sun one day and my skin started feeling itchy and hot. This is the best aftersun I've ever used as it really nourishes the skin as well as cooling it down. Will definitely buy again next summer. Now I'm on to my Vanilla Deelite.

Agreed, its a brilliant aftersun, so is sympathy for the skin, I love them both!


Right, another PP bites the dust, Happy hippy is UU horaaay. I will buy again sometime when I have used lots of my shower gel up but not for the forseeable future.

I have some INs also, rather a few ins as it happens....ummm...I haven't got time to declare them now but I will in the new year, I'm going home for a while so I am taking some bits I want to use up and then I shall be BACK with gusto. I intend to use all my INs before March so that they are still quite fresh

My weakness as well:rotfl:

Maddiemay it's a small world. I once got chatting to someone online who I thought lived about 20 miles away. Eventually it turned out he lived two doors away.


Welcome cakeadoodle.

Well due to the poor weather, I can't make it into work today! I was originally supposed to have the day off anyway so I'm happy! This also means I can properly clean the flat and chill out before the madness of tomorrow!

Welcome cakeadoodle! I found that getting everything together and then targeting the things that won't take that long to use up first was a real help. This gave me added motivation because it was only a week or so before the first empties appeared and this spurred me on to keep using things up.

Welcome cakeadoodle.

Hope everyone is staying safe in this weather, it is windy in Yorkshire but we are not having it as bad as some of you will be.

I have a uu

Andrew Barton Frizz Tamer Hair Mask 300ml - WMBA, although I am not overly keen on the smell.

Have a lovely Christmas everyone, the kids and me are wrapping presents, baking spiced apple muffins and going to the Christingle service at church today, poor DH has to work.

No UUs or INs today so far, just popped on to report that I've now got through everything in my shampoo and conditioner stashes except Herbal Essences Bee Strong. Had a celebratory shower and washed my hair with all Bee Strong products, and oh my gosh. My hair is the softest ever, and smells so good, and I just utterly love these products! Total, total HG. More excited about this than Christmas!

Having said that, though, merry Christmas all Hope everyone has a good one xxx

A very warm welcome to the thread cakeadoodle!

I have another small use up to report. The Calvin Klein Contradiction For Men Hydrating Body Moisturiser 30ml is all gone. It was given to OH by a friend but he didn't want it so I ended up with it. I wouldn't buy it as it was nothing special and obviously it isn't aimed at women.

I hope everybody has a lovely Christmas. :santa2:

Hope everyone is having a great Christmas Eve and are safe after the horrendous weather.

Had a bit of a clear out today to make way for my anticipated INS tomorrow plus I made an order on the Boots online sale -

UU -

191 - L'oreal Ever Riche Conditioner 250ml - WBA, love the smell of this. Using a different conditioner now to change things up a bit but will buy again on offer.

192 - Boots Nail Varnish remover - WBA, was ok and lasted a while although wasn't so great at removing glitter but I don't think many removers are.

Went through my nail polishes and TA 8 that had gone gloopy and separated. Think they were fairly old ones. This takes me up to 200 outs :j This was my target for the end of the year :T

I normally leave shampoo at my parents, for when I come to visit every month or so. I think someone has been using it, so have had to buy a bottle of VO5 shampoo IN and also a Garnier minerals deodourant, as mine will probably run out soon.

My sister is potentially taking 5 things off my hands, and my existing bottle of shampoo has just 2-3 uses left, so expect to end this year with more OUTs than INs.
