    Just another thought - nothing to do with toiletries, but related and I'm sure it will make some of you smile.

    Do you have the same hoarding problem with pens, pencils and notepads? I might not have as many toiletries as some of you but I bet I could beat you hands down on my stationery stash :)

    Morning everyone! I have a TA to report:

    Burts Bees Lemon Cuticle Butter - Haven't opened this for a while and when I did yesterday, it had dried up. I've tried a lot of things to get it back to it's lovely texture again, but it's completely gone. Have moved on to my Ciate Cranberry cuticle oil.

  • A good start to the month for me, 1 UU to report; Yves Rocher Cacao and Pistachio hand cream. WNBA it does the job but smells like playdoh! I have another one the same to replace it with :(

    I've decided on 3 allowed buys this month, only one that I will definitely get this month the others are just there incase... :
    - Primer - the murad one I have is only a trial and I don't really like it, it's one of the tinted ones I'm a bit iffy about them.
    - Lush Henna - I don't think my hair can go another month without being dyed.
    - Foundation - I am still not totally happy with my foundation, going to work my way through the Avon ones give them a go I think.

    I hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.
    even when it feels like your not....

    Welcome newbies.

    I don't have anything to report, I have been awake half the night, I think drinking wine is making me wake up in the early hours and I can't get back to sleep plus I am starting with a cold, I can't remember the last time i had a cold, hopefully I will shake it off quickly.

    Have a good day all.

    I've got an impressive amount of highlighters - couldn't sell any of my uni books if I wanted to as they are highlighted so much. I had the bright idea a while ago of putting all my pens in one big pencil case, on the basis that we could never find a pen when we wanted one. The next time I needed a pen I couldn't find the case and it was months before I did. :mad:

  • Here we have an updated list for February! I did pretty well in January, I didn’t buy a great deal and managed to sell the gift sets I bought in the sale (and didn’t need) on eBay as well as the Daisy EDT 100ml and Loverdose Perfume 50ml, all earnings gone towards paying off my credit card! :j

    I was hoping not to buy any make up this month, but there is a Laura Geller TSV on the 9th and it looks so tempting... :o

    That set does look lovely. I have never tried Laura Geller though so am not too tempted. I know someone on here has mentioned using the spackle primer though so they might be particularly interested

    Thanks for the heads up on this Clutterfree. As I don't visit shoppingtelly.com anymore I don't find out about the TSVs until I get an email on the day.

    I noticed yesterday that my Balance N Brighten has hit pan. I'm not putting it on my PP list yet though cos I know from experience there will still be a good month or so's product left in the pan even at this stage. I was thinking of looking out for a TSV to replace it when it runs out but don't fancy this kit at all. I have enough blushers and would rather have the Smashbox eyeshadow palette so will keep with my original plan of waiting for the BnB to run out. I probably still have half a bottle of Spackle left as well and would prefer to buy a full size of this when I replace it. Besides this I also have a few Elemis Flash Balms in my stash that I will use as Spackle when it's UUed.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Hope you soon feel better dolly. Wrap yourself up nice and warm and drink plenty (not wine!!).

    I have another UU from my bath yesterday: Yorkshire Soap Company bath truffle. Was a little weird as it was decorated like a Christmas pudding but smelt floral. Was lovely though and left my skin very soft.

    I don't really have a big stash of stationery. I do however have random assorted collections including lots of candles, magazines, books, bags and fruit teas. :o

    I hope you feel better soon dolly84, dose yourself up with some echinacea and vitamin C. :)
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/
