    Hi! I'm also new.

    I literally have bags of toiletries dotted around my house so I need to start keeping track of what I use! They are my 'impulse buys', for sure. I don't have an issue with clothing or make-up, just shampoos and bath bombs and body butters, oh dear so many body butters! I could probably open up my own Body Shop with how many of their products I have lying around.

    Definitely need to use this thread from now on.

    Welcome to another new girl, the more the merrier. I found that once I gathered all "like" products together it reminded me of what I had and how long some of it had been sitting in cupboards, drawers etc.:o I now regularly look through the stash and choose the next things to use, in the hope of preventing imulse buys (works most of the time:D)

  • Welcome to all the newbies! YOu're in great company here.

    Have a couple of UU to report:

    - Sensodyne toothpaste: Was ok, didn't notice any difference really. Have replaced with Oral B Deep Clean that was on offer

    - Eyeko skinny liner: WNBA, was a freebie in a birchbox and it dried up so quickly. Have moved back to a gel liner again but if that doesn't work out then I'll have to buy another L'Oreal superliner.

  • Finally! A UU!

    La Roche-Posay Hydreane Light – WBA, was nice and hydrating but light. I can get away with using my night time moisturiser at the moment, and I have loads and loads of sachets of moisturiser that I can do with using up, so hopefully won't be buying anymore for a while.
    No more goo hoarding!

    Philosophy Hope in a Jar 20ml - the last one thank heavens.
    L'occitane Desert Rose Hand Cream 30ml - would happily use again but wouldn't pay their prices for hand cream.

  • UUs ahoy!

    Primark face wipes (25) WBA. Cheap. Does the job

    Body Shop almond hand & nail cream WNBA *choir of angels sing* I finally got rid of it! Ugh. Hated this cream. Nowhere near intense enough for my skin, and felt greasy on only to completely dissipate and need re-applying 10 mins later. It was a free gift from them so at least I didn't pay for it.

    I think that's it? I feel like I'm missing something.

    Is everyone resisting the black friday sales? I deleted loads of e-mails without looking, but have ordered a HG of LE Skin Tonic, 20% reduction, free P&P and they added a 30ml of C&P, it is for stock as I have half a bottle left, but I really love it:D
