  • 1 UU and 1 TA (still yet to declare my xmas ins though. I really don't want to!)

    UU The Body Shop Born Lippy Pomegranate. WMBA, perfectly acceptable as a lip balm.

    TA The Body Shop Coconut Hair Shine. I smelt this and I think it's gone off (I have been using it though, oopps!) It's not surprising as I seriously think I may have had this about 10 years. A good chunk was gone, but I'd only use it on and off.
    No more goo hoarding!

    2018 UU: 9 IN: 1 TA: 0 Total: 58/67
    2017 UU: 50 IN: 16 TA: 2 Total: 42/78 2016 UU: 53 IN: 17 TA: 0 Total: 36/72

  • Despite my signature... I've been shopping again at Boots and Debenhams... then I come home and place an order at Boots for some sale bargains - I spent £75 but saved £85 - so it's not all bad!

    I spent a few hours this afternoon writing down all I had, got to type up the list yet... Deleted the other Word Doc I had accidently, so having to start again... there must be way over 200 items now... :eek:

    Hope to have a list up soon!

    Would love to join, I think i may have done the challenge a few years ago but need to do so again. Not sure what I have yet so will need to make a list later. I have decided that its time to really start pampering myself as that is often something that falls done my to do list, I haven't even had a hair cut or redyed my hair in over 3 months :o lots of grey showing :( Hopefully the support on here will encourage me not only to use my stash but take some me time.

    Two UUs for me and there will be more soon I feel:)
    Wilko fruity berry bath fizzer, had a nice smell to it but I need bubbles!

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Is that a gigantic chunk of snowcake I see in the corner? :eek: Amazing!!
    I think you have beaten me in the bath bomb stakes, but perhaps not shower gel, muahahahaha I have SOOOOO much. *Naughty Suzi!* :D

    You can never have too much lush (well you can) just don't tell me.

    I would love to see a photo of your stash.

    It is a piece of snowcake which still needs cutting as over half is destined for my sister but she does not come home till the end of the month so still time to cut it.

    GA's
    2 perfume oils for a friend who will use them.

    INS
    1 handcream but this was a win so I won't fine myself for this.

    My first UU of the year - BS hemp hand cream. Undecided about this one - it's a good hand cream, lasted quite a while, but I think it's just a little bit too heavy. I have been applying it frequently today to try and have my first UU!

    Have a couple of things that will run out by the weekend too.

    Thanks for answering about night creams Ands and Val. I am still pondering what to go for, might just buy a cheapy one and see how I get on!

    I have spent a fortune today :eek: had a bad day and bought some stuff to cheer myself up although I am now feeling guilty. I did manage to resist spending in Mac although I am now looking online instead :o I also resisted getting the Bobbi Brown corrector. Have wanted to try this for so long but I went to my local counter and the MUA was doing someone's make up and was taking ages! After standing there for about 15 minutes, I talked myself out of buying it :rotfl: I still really want it though.

    Is it just me or does anyone else always leave their new purchases just sitting there for a few weeks before using?! Don't know why I do this, need to stop.

    Ladies (and gents?) I would like to join you; thank you to Mrs Moneypenny for pointing me in your direction, I think this is just what I need to help reduce my stash.

    I haven't prepared a list of my goodies yet but can say that this week I have:

    UU: DKNY Woman 30ml - WNBA, my tastes have changed since I bought this a few years back
    DKNY Be Delicious 50ml - WNBA, for the same reason!

    TA: Timotei Organics Brazil nut and something shampoo - WNBA, only got this last week with my boots points, it was sulphate free and said for dry hair so I thought it'd be good for my curls but it was terrible.
