    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    That post would be very wrong on a thread for alcoholics! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Right, I'm doing my final roundup.. have I missed the new thread or has it yet to be started yet? I would do it but we would end up in an awful pickle.

    4 UUs all in one day:

    L'occitane jasmin & bergamote body lotion 50ml
    Sanctuary peptide transformation serum 3.5ml
    Smashbox photo finish foundation primer 12ml
    Radox Muscle Therapy bath soak 1000ml

    The L'occ body lotion was a gift or gwp, lovely smell but the lotion feels slightly sticky on me. WNB.
    Sanctuary serum was part of the winter facial in a box bought in the half price sale last year at MrB. I used all the products together. This is supposed to be used in conjunction with the mask but whilst there was only one application of mask, there was three or four of this. Is nice, doesn't really so much for me, wouldn't buy separately but definitely will buy another facial in a box if I see one in the sale.
    Smashbox - the travel size. Lovely but I haven't been using primer as haven't been using foundation. Will likely go back now the seasons are changing, but this one was cut open and dried out. WBA.
    Radox - lushness. Came in a double pack of 2 litres bottles from costco, who doesn't love a bit of Radox?

    I've updated my spreadsheet with my goals (i.e., total list gets to 299, buy a neom bath oil) along with a countdown. It has me looking around feverishly for products to use!

    ETA: My totals for this month are UU 13 (yay!) and IN 9 (whoops)

    Good morning ladies, just popping in to declare my last of my September UU/INs:

    UU:
    L'Occitane almond shower oil 250ml
    This is lovely, one of my favourite products. The last inch if this went funny though, it went all thick. Anyway, another 750ml in the stash.

    Boots extracts cocoa butter shower gel 200ml
    This was nice to try, probably WNBA unless in the sales ;)

    That's the last of my dregs used up from the shower.

    INs from my Avon order I made last month.
    2x skin so soft argan body wash 250ml, this is also one of my favourite products :D
    1x cherry blossom shampoo 700ml. This is the biggest bottle of shampoo ever, should last a fair few months!

    Final September totals: 14UU, 6INs.

    Last UU for September:

    30/240. Cussons Mum & Me Baby Sleep Tight Baby Bath - wouldn't go out of my way to repurchase but did the job as a shower gel.

    See you all in October! :)

    I need to use up loads of toiletries, after reading this thread I've realised I have a habit of keeping bottles with about 1/3 left in so I don't run out of that particular product!

    Is there a new thread each month for this? I'm thinking I might try having a kind of 'home spa' session which will use up lots in one go and leave me feeling thoroughly pampered!

    Hi ladies just bobbing on to report September totals : 12 OUTs and 6 INs which is not bad although I was aiming not to buy anything.


    Not sure if I will make it to Boots after all tomorrow as I have been off work today with raging cold. My throat is killing me and every time I sneeze I ache like mad. Emma was in Manchester after college yesterday and said it was so crowded that she could not shop so not sure I will bother. There's usually another event before Christmas isn't there?


    Even though I've been at home today have not succumbed to buying the Molten Brown TSV. Yay me. x
    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!
