No buying unnecessary toiletries in January 2014

Welcome newbies.

Malham - I second the recommendation for the BS Camomile eye makeup remover and also the L'Oreal gentle one but I did find that struggled when I use an eye primer.

Re. eye cream I love the Clinique all about eyes, the regular version and not the rich.

I have a uu

Caudalie Divine Oil - 3ml, I am glad I got this free sample as I have wanted to try this for ages, it smells lovely and is nice on the skin but I think I will stick with my Rosehip oil.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Hi Malham, welcome to the thread! I don't use either of those products, I'm a fan of balm cleaners so don't use a separate eye makeup remover, but I'm sure you have plenty of suggestions shortly!

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

*waves* Hello! Welcome to the thread!

In terms of eye make-up remover, I like the Body Shop Camomile Eye Make-up Remover and the Simple one which comes in a clear bottle. On anti-ageing eye cream, Sali Hughes did a good eye cream for the Guardian a while back that might be helpful: http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2...-hughes-beauty

Thanks that article's really interesting! Had also been looking at the simple one

Thanks so much everyone, will definitely have a look at all of these!

Welcome MalhamCat!

I use Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish to remove all my make-up. But before I discovered that HG I used the clear Simple Eye make up remover.

I was going to wait for the 75% off sale to get hold of the Champneys duo that I had last year as the liquid soap I use at work will need replacing. I only have enough in my stash to use at home however I daren't buy anything else now as my bank balance is looking really sickly. Will see how my funds fare when it eventually runs out.

I wasn't able to get to the 75% off sale last year and it will probably be the same this year as I'm at work from 8 til 4 and miles away from the shops!

Anyway, I don't need any more of those but I do need to replace my eye make-up remover as it's coming to an end, currently using Origins, which was a gift and I love it but is expensive, was wondering if you have any recommendations? ramble!!

Hi, welcome to the thread, must admit I was curious enough about your Roadkill Rebel signature to research it and was most relieved to find it was nothing to do with eating actual roadkill!!! :rotfl:I saw a programme once....:o

I really like the Garnier Simply Essentials 2 in 1 makeup remover, its fab and very good value for money, quite often on offer to boot. Definitely my holy grail in this area, I find it better and less greasy than the Clinique version at a fraction of the cost - you can use this one on your whole face too if you like.

My Lush order arrived yesterday so I have an IN and OUT already. I did declare these on my list already. I had also ordered Just Dance 2014 and after what felt like a marathon of a game with Emma had a nice soak in the bath with half the Cinders bath ballistic. Emma used the other half in her bath after me so it is a UU. Was nice and felt very moisturising on my skin both in the bath and afterwards. Whilst I could smell the fragrance in the bath it did not linger on my skin but maybe this is because I used half? Anyway WMBA - will see. Emma got more Lush products from her friend yesterday who she has not seen since before Christmas and so yesterday was first chance they had to swap gifts.

What was your delivery time like Val? I placed an order just after Christmas and I'm still waiting - I know obviously its a busy time and New Year inbetween but when they're charging you £4 for delivery I'd like it a bit quicker!

Sorry for snipping, didn't want my post to be too long.

I finally have some movement in the right direction this month:

TBS Cocoa Butter Shower Cream/Gel - WBA - Suprisingly subtle fragrance, only complaint being I find it difficult to get the last use or so out of their shower gel bottles.

S & G Hand Food x 2 - Both these were gifted but I really don't like the stuff, one was already seperated as is wont to do so that was binned and the other one was fine and a girl at work likes it so that's a GA.

Also GA - Sex in The City Love Perfume set - so 4 outs there, gave this to Mum to car boot - Again another gift, I've too much 'proper' perfume to use as it is - I really hope that doesn't sound too sniffy... Also gave her Avon Far Away Shimmering Powder - just not a product I would use at all.

GA to another friend at work - S & G Hair Supply - used this before and its not great for my hair, know someone who really likes it and this was a full sized tube so have given it to her.

Finally, another UU, Sure Cotton Ultra Dry Roll Deo - WBA - HG, already repurchased a couple more.

I realised this morning I haven't actually got all that much shower gel stashed as the ones I've got are mostly travel sized but I have got enough for a good while yet so no panic! What I have got enough of this year to last me through the year no problem is body scrub!! The nice thing is all the body butter I have now I really like so there's going to be no chore using it and I'll be so much more likely to actually use it regularly as a result :j My shins definitely thank me for it.

Two more UUs… Getting frustrated, my total keeps going up 2 and down 2, so it's still at 99 even though I've used up 4 things since I made my list!

6. Herbal Essences Bee Strong Intensive Mask 200ml - WDBA, really lovely and great for my hair.
7. Mizon Multi Function Snail Repair Cream 75ml - WNBA, it's from Korea so would be hard to track down, and also, it wasn't too great.

I know the question's not addressed to me, but I ordered at 10am Boxing Day, and my parcel arrived on the 29th.

Afternoon everyone. I am meant to be doing some uni work today but am really struggling. On a very tight deadline but I feel like I don't know what I am doing or how to do it! Very stressed!

Back OT, 1 UU this morning -

3 - Dior J'Adore Eau de Parfum 30ml - WDBA, one of my favourite perfumes so sad to see this go. It had been hanging around for a while though with only a tiny amount in. I always struggle to UU up the last bit in perfumes but am trying to tackle this at the moment. Have got another 2 that are very nearly UU as well.

I bought a set of the steamcreams in store today but they are going away as presents for next year, I've tried it and it's not for me so they won't end up in my stash!

OMG Steamcream, I have a weakness for the tins. I have two I'm still finishing up so I will have to avoid Tesco I think in case they have the pretty rainbow tin

I am back at home and its time to bite the bullet and update the stash with Xmas INs from Lush, groan...
I'm going to catch up with everyone and read through then I shall be back to declare.
I'm not gonna post my stash this month but I will post all my INs and UUs don't worry.
I will go back to posting the stash when we quieten down a bit I don't want to overwhelm everyone with my EPIC lush stash, most of you have seen it anyway.
I may take a pic for all the newbies, WELCOME to you all :wave:

PS I'm in the spare room where I put all my lush stuff on the bed and it smells UH MAZE ING in here!! Mmmmmmmm
