    Welcome to all new joiners and returners! i am definitely going to be in for another year and while I'm feeling peppy, Parisian I am in!

    I will have one exception to the rule; I know I will need to buy concealer and foundation, but will stick to one in one out, and I bulk buy Sure Maximum Protection Deo at a certain american wholesalers, but it is my HG and I don't hoard antiperspirant (I always buy it at the big C, as the deal works out so well!).

    I'm going to post up my stash list in a little bit, I am at a total of 375 items, so I really can't see I will need anything else any time soon!

    Edited to add: I am also looking to make some of my own toiletries this year. I've previously made bath bombs and am going to pick up some salts to help with my little weightless goal. I will pick up the raw ingredients but only add new items to the stash once each item is made.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Well in a bid to starting getting my toiletries and makeup habit under control.. I have just put my soap and glory gift set on ebay. I bought one then had one as an Xmas prezzie.. Usually I'd stuff it into my stock pile (which doesn't need anything adding to it).:rotfl:

    So I've done it Im selling it. Anything I do get for it I will use to re purchase my daily foundation (doublewear) which I'm nearly out of and can't not live without. At least that way I'm not technically spending any more money! :o

    Not a bad start I think:j
    Goal - We want to be mortgages free :j

  • Well I just had a NPM, I went to order the Steamcreams on the Grabbit Board because they are an absolute bargain but Mr T helped me out and they are OOS so no INs to fess up to:T

    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!

  • I'm in for another month! Thanks for the new thread!

    I'm currently away from my stash, so use ups are a little bit slow just now. I've been mentally running through my stash, and think it's fair to say I don't need anything for quite a while! I have about 9 months of shower gel, 6 months of hand cream, 3 months of shampoo, 2 years of face creams, 6 years of body moisturisers :rofl: This is if I don't use them sparingly either.

    I honestly believe that the only things I need in 2014 are make-up remover, face wipes, deodourant and facial powder. My new years resolution is to introduce a one in one out policy to things. I won't buy a new one until the old one runs out (obviously within reason - I'm not going to pass up an item I'd normally buy if it's on sale) So we'll start with toiletries this January!
  • Thanks for the new thread dolly84.

    Welcome all new starters and returning toiletry stashers.

    The best of luck with your challenge Parisian.

    Boots extracts coconut body wash and butter minis - WNBA these were OK but there are other fragrances I prefer.
