    One OUT...

    62 - Body Shop Almond hand cream - was quite disappointed with this. Very watery and smelt more like baby powder than almonds. Used up in a bath as a sort of bath melt.
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    Hello ladies I joined a few years ago but left due to illness but I am back and have been reading the threads for the last couple of months so thought I would join back in again. I am hoping to move the end of this year beginning of next year so I need to get rid of loads of things I have been doing really well and not buying things just getting free samples when I see them. I did buy a MUA nail varnish this morning in a baby pink colour £1 and some blusher as I am trying to use my make-up up I have loads and its only going to go of.

    Does anybody do this challenge with a monthly budget? And those of you who put cash in a pot for UU's, how much do you 'pay' for each item?
    Just thinking it might be better for me to do it this way as I'm clearly not very good at resisting purchases altogether :/

    Can I join please, I still have loads of things left over from christmas, my son annoyingly will leave the last two uses of any product inside the bottle so its a good way to use those up also we seem to have loads of the mini bottles knocking about from hotels etc, I love taking ALL the toiletries back with me from when me and my other half have been away. Im going to try to get him to do this too, he doesnt live with me but has stacks of old gift pack things left from many christmases ago.

    Thank you

    Oh my god this thread is fabulous. Every month since I don't know when I have said I will not buy cosmetics or toiletries, and use up my huuuuge stash. Every month I fail.

    You ladies have fabulous taste. So many lovely products.

    Will have a rummage through & catalogue mine. I'm recovering from an op & bored silly stuck at home so will enjoy this :)

    Well it sounds promising (and contains Zinc like the other lady suggested)

    Note the 240 size bottle also has 'for hair and nails' in the description
