No buying unnecessary toiletries in January 2014

Just a quick question to those of you who keep track of your stash in spreadsheets; what are the different columns that you have?

Mine is divided in to three pages: total toiletries, INS and OUTS. Each has the same columns: Name of product, Type, ml, g. The main toiletries spreadsheet is validated and organised by product type (i.e. starts at aromatherapy, ends at sun products), whereas Ins and OUTS are by chronology - I simply add the items in and mark the month in a row next to the products. I then copy and paste then entries as appropriate to/from the main toiletries sheet.

Does that make any sense at all?

It's only been this past year or so that it's gotten out of hand. I am particularly naughty when I see an offer for a free gift with purchase and have bought clinique bonus time and estee lauder GWP more times than I care to remember! Does anyone else seem to have this problem? I have make up bags coming out of my backside :rotfl:

Yes, these are the offers that get me too. The only saving grace with the Clinique ones though is that most of the time you have to buy skincare products to qualify and I have not got on with any of their skincare products that I have tried.

Thanks for reminding me re: the make up bags. Want to keep an eye out for the next free listing day on Ebay as I have four new Elemis make up bags to list.

My LE order arrived today however I have already included these items in the list. I did not count in there though yet another 30ml tube of C&P. Does anyone else miss the days when LE sent out a random sample sized product rather than just C&P?

No UUs still to report although I'm thinking that I may have to give away the Elemis hand lotion that I am using at work. For a while now I have had a dry patch of skin on the right palm. It becomes itchy, sore and flaky. It has cleared up considerably over the Christmas period however today at work I've noticed that it's become red again after using this lotion. Such a shame as there is loads of it left. It must surely be this product that is too potent for my hands? Anyone else experienced this problem with it?

I opened my Daisy gift set and was a bit gutted to find that it doesn't come with shower gel. I was obviously so excited to find it half price that I didn't check what was in the set! So I have a 100ml EDT spray, a 4ml one and a 150ml body lotion. I don't have any shower gel left and can't justify buying one at full price. I like using matching shower gel, body lotion and perfume and this has spoiled it!


First world problems!

I have a different sheet for each type of product e.g. soap, bath, body, face.
I list each item in sub catagories on each sheet and have a total for each sub section and a monthy column to I can see what I use up each month.
This all feeds into the first sheet and tells me my numbers for each month. I have no idea if that makes any sense. The soap section is complicated as i have bars of soap and blocks of lush soap so each 100g of lush soap count as 1 and a bar of soap as 1 and this then works itself out for a final total on the soap page. Can you tell I like spreadsheets.

I have an excel spreadsheet with different tabs....

I have stash, in use, make-up, quantities and exact quantities

In 'stash' I have brand, item, price, category, checked (for when I do inventory - yes really!) and month purchased. I have the same for make-up and 'in use', but I add a 'shade' column in 'make-up'

Exact Quantities is basically me having copied and pasted all my toiletries with a column for the mls or gs of each item, as I find it far more accurate than just saying I have x amount of bottles, as bottle sizes vary so much.

Then quantities is my monthly running total of how much (in mls) of a certain thing I have, how much I want to use that month and how much I have used that month. I get rather involved doing percentages etc, I am a very 'numbers' type person, so this really works for me.

And yes, I am a geek and I'm fine with it! :D:D
