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

I'm using MeMeMe Fat Cat mascara which I really like

I'm in again. Disappointed in myself for last month:
17 bought INs (only 2 of these were actually needed!)
8 NBIs

My stash total is down by 19 items from March but most of my UU's were sachets or mini sizes so no big whoop there really, ml for ml I have more product than I started with in April

I don't need anything this month apart from maybe facial wash towards the end of the month so hoping to have 1 bought in at the most in May...

Thanks for starting the new thread, Dolly. Your lack of INs is very inspiring

I'm in for May. :j Thank you all so much for the lovely welcome back. It was much appreciated

I went home for a couple of days and whilst there I dared to peek at the stash of unused toiletries that didn't get packed for the move. Not as terrible as I feared but lots of stuff to use up. I packed up a good selection of pink rose items and stash relics and brought them back with me. I didn't bring everything as I'ld find that overwheming. :eek: It's lucky that my OH is still away as I have little piles/themed collections of things all over the floor! :rotfl:

I don't count make-up/nail varnish in my totals although I'm trying (and generally succeeding) in not buying any. I'm also not including sachets in my total but am noting them as I go. Travel size and up OUTS are counted (with mls/g noted )

My totals for last month:

INs (from Birchbox)
Pack of 10 Yes to Cucumbers wipes
50ml Campos de Ibiza body lotion

OUTS
L'Oreal EverRiche Shampoo (10ml) - Really nice! I will buy this when I've UU more shampoo (I had a NPI with this in Tescos last night. How long will I hold out?? )
Nivea DNAge Eye Cream sachet (1.5ml) - I really liked this but I think it's so old that it has been discontinued :eek: :rotfl:
Liz Earle Botanical Essence No.1 (2ml) - nice but WNB
L.I.L.Y. eau de parfum (1.5ml) - WNB as I found it a bit dull

UU 129. NUXE Reve De Miel Handcream (S 15ml) - lovely and glad I have more to use

UU 130. REN Moroccan Rose Shower Gel (S 50ml) - very nice but WNB as too expensive

UU 131. Aromatherapy Associates Revive Morning Bath Oil (S 3ml) - WNB in this scent (impressed it lasted for two baths though)

UU 132. Bamford Botanic Bath Oil Geranium (S 30ml) - WNB as the scent wasn't very strong and it's v expensive

UU 133. Benefit Total Moisture Cream (S 8.9g) - WNB as too rich for my face (UU on neck)


I'm expecting INs from Birchbox and one from the You Beauty box (the other item I chose was a brush, partly to keep my INs down :rotfl:)

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

Thanks for the new thread dolly, I am in again for another month (or 6)

I managed 4 UU in April and absolutely no Ins :j . I am determined to get through May by only buying dry shampoo and toner as I don't need anything else

I am having a massive declutter session as I am hoping to rent out my flat to go travelling later in the year and I certainly don't need to be bringing anything else in at the moment! I TA about a dozen very elderly make up products last month and there is plenty more where that came from. My problem is thatI want to try everything out before I chuck it just in case it is a lovely product I just haven't bothered using for the last decade, it makes for a very slow clearing out process :rotfl:

hopefully May will see a lot of the minis being used up when on holiday and i resist buying a lot of stuff in duty free i may use the opportunity to stock up on stuff i know i will deffo use
only thing i need to buy before going on holiday is sun cream but im not going to count it as a In as it wont be coming home with me
when i get back my hols i am really going to be going for it at the gym so a lot more of the minis will get used up

Can I join in please? I took part last year but have been busy getting married and having a baby since then.

Ive used 2 sachets of body lotion up this morning which is a small start to the mountains of sachets I have.

FizzWhizz

I looked at the beauty section in the duty free in Barcelona a couple of weeks ago and I have to admit, I was really disappointed. Everything I "knew" the UK prices of was more expensive -- this was across several brands too. I found the same in Dubai; didn't stop me having a MAC splurge though, the reason being that we had dirham left over and converting it back to sterling would have "cost"… yeah, weak excuse, I know

I hope you have better luck bargain hunting, poppy!
