    Dolly thank you for the kind words and encouragement. I will let you know if I have a wobble and you can remind me of how many eyeshadow palettes I already have (a lot!) It's inspiring to hear how well you are doing, well done.

    Thanks for info and tips about Hydraluron everyone. I don't really get dry skin so think I will leave it for now, I will probably try it at some point in the future but I do not need it and would like to have no INS for Feb. Clutterfree I am liking the Pixi so far - no break outs from it yet which is a big improvement from the REN, thank you. I will let you know how it goes.

    Nillionaire you are at home here then as I too have problems with make up (used to be clothes too!) Welcome.

    Trouble is I can't resist a bargain - but then we all say that. Have you tried disciplining yourself to so may multiple numbers of an item? Ie 2 x deodorant so you don't run out? No? I can't manage it either :)


    That's exactly my problem as you will see with my shopping trip this morning. Toilet roll count about 30.

    Welcome newbies.

    INS
    7 Mitchum deodorants they were in the reduced section in boots for £1.45 for the larger size and I will always use them and I did use points so theoretically they are free.

    3 cheap sprays 45 p each again boots clearance section and I will use these up quickly.

    La Roche-posay SPF 50 extreme fluid reduced to £4 again something I will use and I'm on my last one. I will use this on my face. Again in theory free as used boots points.

    Dark angel face cleanser I like it and my skin is not great at the moment and I miss it. Yes I do have a cleansers and exfoliants but they just don't do what this product does for my skin.

    2 x blue skies and fluffy white cloud bubble bar, my favourite scent lush had ever done and I am almost out, I only have enough for a couple more baths.

    Thank you for the new thread KT. I'm in for Feb! Jan totals were 16 IN and 23 UU/GA/TA - in the right direction but hoping for less IN in Feb now sales mania has died down, struggling to formulate a PP list lately though as most things are either full size or unopened - do have some one use items though such as bath bombs so I should chalk some up at least!

    Right, ready to go and on a mission to use stuff up and NOT buy!

    My inventory came to 815 items, I still have some to add, and I also have a huge MUA order which arrived today but I ordered about 2 weeks ago so I'm not counting them as Feb ins!

    I've ordered a pretty journal in which I'm going to list my stuff by type when it comes and work my way through it from there
    No more unnecessary toiletries Feb 2014 INS: 24 UU: 13. Mar 2014. INS: lost count, naughty step for me! UU: 8

    Can I ask, what's probably an obvious question- what is a pp list?

    Thanks

    Thanks

    Project pan basically it is where you normally aim to use up 10 items and pan them ( bin). I don't think you are supposed to buy anything until they are completed. We all do it differently to suit yourself I tend to list more than 10 items as I go through things quickly.

    I'm in for February. Final count for Jan was;
    OUT: 44 (cleared out and gave/threw away a lot of stuff and used up a few things I was down to the last dregs of but had previously got bored of and moved onto new stuff)
    IN: 56

    Oops! I'm hoping to see my stash decrease a bit this month, I got a bit carried away with the sales after Xmas and it was my birthday mid Jan so was expecting to have a few INs!

    I'm starting February with a total count of 205 items. All I should need to buy this month is deoderant as I don't hoard this.

    Hope everyone does well this month :)
    Never say never
  • Also have my PP list sorted for the month:

    Blossom body wash
    Blossom shower gel
    Blossom body lotion
    Figs and Rouge lip balm
    Supercream
    Pearl Drops
    Simple shampoo
    Rose hand cream
    Vitamin C Moisturiser
    Vitamin C eye pen
    Vitamin C Micro dermabrasion
    Body Shop lipstick
