I have a uu

Gok Gorgeous body butter - WBA, I have a pot and two mini tubes in the stash from Christmas/sales. I really love this product.

I started using my mini pot of this the other day as a treat and I absolutely love it.

Just been looking at some empties posts on some beauty blogs and found myself thinking 'you call that empty?' Loads of the things still had the dregs in the bottom, I couldn't bare to not UU the last bit :money:

I'm the same, I feel as if I have to use every last scrap even if I hate the product. I hate wastage.

I also have another small use up from my Project Pan list to report. Olay First Effects Daily Moisturiser sachet 3ml - this small sachet lasted me three days but I wasn't able to use it every day as it irritated my skin slightly. For this reason I would not buy it even though I liked the consistency.

I have two more uu, I am going through stuff like a madwoman.

Elemis Foot Cream - 20ml - This was really nice and smelt lovely but there is no way I would pay Elemis prices for foot cream.

Burts Bees Hand Salve - very moisturising but greasy as it really is a salve, there never seemed that good a time to use it, I used it at bedtime but I read my book then so it gets on the pages a bit. WNBA for that reason only.

I have turned the house upside down this evening looking for a tube of Balance Me facial wash - eventually found it, I overlooked it twice as it is a much bigger tube than I remember, this is the trouble with having so much stuff.

This is me to a T! I have almost everything in my house, in fact I'd go as far to say there could be 2 or 3 of the same item somewhere but can I find it - No!! End up turning the house upside down, making more of a mess with no joy.
Seriously don't know how to declutter, I have so many books, clothes, shoes etc etc (oh yeah and toiletries ) that the mess is making me ill at the thought of going to look for something!

I have a UU:

8. REN Neroli & Grapefruit body wash 50ml - nice enough but WNB as there are other cheaper brands I prefer - and I have plenty!

Oliviab

I have been inspired by this thread to sort out all my toiletries and write up an inventory. I didn't think I had a problem, but I was wrong! I won't write everything but here's a summary:

Body Butters: 15 :eek:
Body Lotion: 9
Body Scrub: 4
Shower Gel: 16 :eek:
Hand cream: 10
Soap: 7
Shampoo: 11
Dry Shampoo: 4
Conditioner: 10
Hair Treatments: 10
Foot Cream: 2
Deodorant: 6
Face Scrub: 2
Cleanser: 6
Toner: 2
Moisturiser: 6
Face Masks: 12


So some areas aren't too bad, some I probably have a good few years worth! Like shampoo

I'm going to try and not buy any toiletries now, I would love to say for a year, I can't see that happening, let's try 6 months!

Who else is on a total ban?

I've still not updated my stash list or sig but shh :P
I found a few more bits and pieces today, and decided on throwing out a boots foot cream cant tell you how old it is, and the lids broken but my problem is I tested out my s&g one, and its 10 million times better so its WNBA to boots own foot cream, it does nothing, you put it on wake up next morning thinking why did I bother, S&G I put on last night woke up this morning thinking wow!
Planning on popping into boots tomorrow in search of my hair spray set... *fingers crossed* have £25 worth of points to try and resist spending, wish me luck... lol

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.

I will gladly take one of my stash, how will I post it on here? I'm not really sure how to do that yet

Well Hi all,
Just catching up on the thread again after a few days AWOL.
Not much to report, most of PP is LHJ and I have left some at my parents house to pick up later in the month when I am back down. Whilst my pot of ginger lotion is at my M and Ds I have started on another lotion that needs UU, my american cream one. Oh gosh its lovely!! I won't want it to end but its gone out of date now so there is no point in saving it any longer...:(
I am running a bath now and in that Im having:
UU last half of last years Lush Xmas Eve bubble bar
UU handmade by me bath bomb, its about time I used this. :-D (I always save things for a special occasion, anyone else do this? I don't know when this special occasion is going to be...:rotfl:)

So at least there are a couple of UUs today, even if they aren't part of my PP.
