Used Up:


Estee Lauder Idealist Even Skin Illuminator 100ml, WNBA. There are very good products that do the same for far less cash.


Consonant Organic Foaming Face Wash 250ml.Meh. Nothing special WNBA.

Asquith & Somerset Grapefruit and Orange Bath/Shower Gel 250m. Last of a gift set. Not impressed. The scent was very faint and I think it made me itchy. But I had to finish it. So glad to see it go.

Tossed Estee Lauder Plum Shimmer Gloss, just a few swabs left in the tube and it's been open for two years, so end of year, I'm getting rid.
Doris Dalton Lash Fix mascara full size. I like this but it goes clumpy on the wand. New year, new mascara.

I was bad. a Sweet Lemon gift set from the Body Shop, two additional limited scents body washes and a body butter.

Oh, and a Clinique Summer body cream that can double as a skin cream all came home from the mall today.

But in my defence, I can use some of it on holiday at the end of January.

Have a wonderful new year. I'm working again tonight. Take care and be careful!

Last OUTs for the year...

UUs

Sunday Riley Charisma Creme cleanser sachet sample - WNBA, nothing special and left my face feeling tight.

Zelens 3t Complex Essential Anti-aging cream 10ml - WNBA, the full size is ridiculously expensive - approx £89 for 50ml :eek: The cream was nice enough and left my skin well moisturised but not worth the money.

TA
Alberto VO5 gel spray volume boost 200ml - WMBA, this only had a little bit left in the bottom which I couldn't get out due to the pump no longer working. This is a relic so I should think the gel seized it up.

Off to update my list and count my December OUTs, brb...

EDIT: I don't list ins and outs separately, so for December I am down 6 on my stash. I am pleased that I am down at all as had many INs.

One last UU for 2013: L'occitane lavender foaming bath 100ml. Nice enough and I have one more in the stash.

And that, is it. I've ended the year with 25 less items than I had on 1 September which is progress. See you all on the new thread!

One final UU from me for 2013:

29. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel 30ml - H2B helped himself to the dregs! WBA but have a full size and a mini in stash so will be a while before I need to.

This takes me to

63 INS
29 UUs
22 GAs
3 TAs

for December so up 9 overall - promise to do better in 2014!

Last UU for 2013 Boots Simply Sensitive face wipes, used the last one as a pre-cleanse last evening. I will now tot up the final scores. Pure coincidence that my 2012 and 2013 UU's total is the same. My high TA's for this year is because I sorted through make-up and threw lots of old eye shadows, eye pencils and lippies with hardly any content left.

Valm I got about a month's worth of use from the tsv sized cleansing balm but I wouldn't necessarily have used it twice a day every day (I can be a bit lazy sometimes about taking my makeup off before I go to bed)

Happy pampering xo

Thank you. I have been using it daily albeit once a day. Am using LE C&P to remove make up/evening wash. Maybe I'll get about 2½ weeks out of a pot?! Not very MSE then?

I love the They're Real and think a lot of other people on here do too although know some people didn't get on so well with it. Fingers crossed for you!

I can't remember if I've tried They're Real or not but do like BadGal (although I've only ever had the brown and plum versions of it). I had serious mascara envy yesterday. Emma applied the YSL Baby Doll mascara we got her for Christmas and it is gorgeous. I have my LE mascara on the go at the moment and the only spare I have in my stash is one that came as a mag freebie so I don't know what brand it is. Am minded to keep hold of this and see if Clinique do the mascara swap again this year and then maybe treat myself to the YSL volumising one when I run out.

I saw this over on the Elite thread and had to re-post as it's so funny! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Love Robert Downey Jnr. Saw Iron Man 3 the other night. A little sad that there won't be any more of them.

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

Judging by your posts I think you SHOULD join
As you can see we all do our best to not buy things we dont need but most of us are here because we are chronic toiletries hoarders who would like to improve the situation not just by buying less but by enjoying and using what we have.
If we sin we tell each other about it and know we are in good company.
You never know it might be good for you
