    It takes me ages to get through shower gel despite using everyday. Don't know why, I do use one of those puffy things....
    Me too, although I don't use it every day. I actually think the body puff makes the shower gel more economical as it helps it to lather more effectively. Shower gel is one of the worst areas of my stash and even though I have loads, I still can't resist buying more when I smell something gorgeous. :o
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    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!

    Can I just say that this is my birthday month? :D So I am wondering if I will have any INs, I'm not sure anyone really buys me toiletries any more so perhaps not, either way I'm on hols for 2 weeks in a week's time, up in Scottish Land, and will endeavour to UU as much as possible while there :D

    Dolly 84 thank you for starting us off for May, count me in again too, I will be here for at least a year LOL.

    I have been away for a few days, so will look out and list the UU's soon.

    I have been very naughty and ordered 2 of the Lancome Hypnose mascara at the anniversary price, this is number 2 HG for me, BUT it will mean that I will have about 5 unopened mascaras and 3 or so in use. I have been trying to find less expensive ones, but I have fine fair lashes (they are growing now with using the Revitalash), and so many are just too thick and claggy on me, so I end up dipping an old Hypnose wand into the tubes, wiping some off and then applying - so wasteful, not at all MSE:o

    Can any of you gals who buy cruelty free products recommend any mascaras please? (For the future obviously:rotfl:)

    Kadison, I am envious of your imminent holiday in Scotland, OH and I have wanted to tour in our motor home, but circumstances haven't allowed as yet:(

    used up the last couple of strips in a veet instant wax strips pack this morning. was an impulse purchase as they were on offer, i normally use an epilator but for a quick fix they did the job and WBA

    1st UU this month - the BS Satsuma finally finished this morning. :)
    Also have a Time Delay exfoliator that I've cut open so should be finished shortly and a conditioner that I think will have one more use out it :)
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    I admit, I'm trying to buy the hypnose mascarra, but it keeps selling out...*blush*

    In the meantime I have 2 OUTS
    79 - Kenzo flower perfume - I love this, but I have stacks of perfume, so won't replace for a while.
    80 - Neals Yard calendula cleanser sample - I adored this. It's gone on my 'list' to buy when I've used other things up. ;)
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:
