Ins: Emporium Armani Diamonds sample perfume
Red Polo sample perfume
6 x rose waters
Out:
Superdrug vit e hot cloth cleanser - decided that I much prefer the radiant version. Wnba.
Boots rosewater and glycerin. Wnba -Good for removing dirt but contains alcohol which is too drying and stings if you get it in your eye. Can make my own mixture for less.
Sorry to for your loss Rogue lawyer. X0 -

So sorry to hear what has happened Roguey. Such a shock and now trying to deal with what needs to be done next. Some lovely thoughts have already been said an I echo that with a take care of yourself too and make time for other activities so the clearing out doesn't become overwhelming. My mum is a hoarder and I've been doing a lot of work with her to sort through her "collections". Slow and steady will get you there and some help from other family members ( if you have any who can).
Couple of UUs today
Sanex deo and dove deo stick - odd them both going at the same time. WBA.
Lidl face wipes - great value, very moist and available for combination skin...love them.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and get you favourite HG Product to enjoy.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -
Now I can't be the only one with a shocking about of INs for Christmas:eek::eek: Might be a few more in Lush tomorrow but I will need to be pretty restrained as the car boots already half filled up with toiletries and chocolates...
I won't list the INs today there's far too many but did get the big Ted Baker set, some Extracts stuff for starters. Off to update my stash list. Hope everyone had a lovely day xDebt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
3 more UUs to report
Tesco cotton wool pads x 100 -
quite thick pads.
Moved on to Sainsbury's basics which are not so thick and which I think I prefer because of that.
Creightons Sunshine Blonde intensive care conditioner - 250 ml
Might buy again if I ever in my life need to buy another conditioner
Macleans white & shine toothpaste – 100 ml
Not convinced that it was any better at whitening or shining than any other product. Not really fussed about which toothpaste I use.
So that's a total of 5 products so far in December. Expect a cleansing lotion to be UU before the end of the month.
I had just five INs this month (2 nail varnishes - totally unnecessary purchases and 3 different fun shades of hair colourant) so no progress in overall stash reduction but I don't expect to buy anything before 2015. Fortuately Christmas presents didn't include any toiletries (but unfortunately did include chocolates, but that's a different problem).

Happy Christmas Guys.
Here goes with my Christmas ins.
My last advent calendar in was a mini This Works Sleep + Spray.
Aromatherapy Associates Bath Jewels (I think) this is a little chest with 10 x 7.5ml bath oils.
Liz Earle skincare set with Cleanse & Polish, IBST, Moisturiser, Mask and Exfoliater.
Chloe Gift Set with 75ml EDP and Body Lotion.
I will have more ins from the sales in the next week or so.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
