Oh that's alright then!
Judging by some of these posts though I don't think they were all necessary though

I can't commit to this thread as I'd sin straightaway

You'd be amazed how many we get joining in January, Africat, when people look at what they have got in the sales / for presents and decide they don't want anything else for some considerable time.

Some lovely lists there. I've just about caught up with everything - very little on the using front to report, but my DS gave me four shower creams for Christmas. Two OS Shea Butter and Honey and a Imperial Leather Japanese Spa pairing. That's me sorted for the year, given what I have already. (Two Avon seasonal gels, c. 320 ml and 150 ml left of each)

A lovely collection of Next Enchanted goodies from a friend, bath creme (will use as shower creme), shower gel, body, hand and foot lotions plus shower puff. Thrilled with these.

Not having a go or anything - I'm as guilty as anyone - I have tons of toiletries, just know I wouldn't be able to commit to this thread as I get sucked in to all the bargains :j
Good luck to those that make the pledge though

Well as you can see from my list, there was a fair amount of 'sinning' there. But then, I adhere to a softer side of saving. A little bit of what you fancy…saves you from a 3am rampage on feelunique with the credit card!

I popped my head in to my local LUSH, the queue was the whole way around the shop! I said nuh-uh and skedaddled.

The daughter of a former colleague of mine has branched out into writing a make - up blog - and it's exceptionally well done too.

Emily was 11 the last time I saw her, she's now a poised, attractive 17 year old.
Emily says of herself "I love makeup (and buying it unnecessarily)" so I figure we can let her do some of that for us...

A few GA:
Tresemme conditioning treatment
BoHo hair serum
Katy perry perfume sample
Elizabeth Arden (I think) perfume
Lush Christmas eve bubble bar

I will also finish off a travel size of BS rainforest shampoo tomorrow - undecided whether i'll buy again. To begin with, sulfate free shampoos made my hair really dull, but now i'm used to them, I might not go back.
