  • Aw man I've totally been forgetting to put my perfume in the stash list. Will have to do that later today. I almost never wear it because I have smelly moisturisers/oils etc so I've had some of them at least a decade!

    Another couple of OUTs:

    TA:

    1/3. Garnier Miracle Skin Cream 5ml - I applied this lavishly after my post-gym shower last night and then realised I had an orange face as it's essentially a tinted moisturiser! Wrong shade for me so flung.

    UU:

    4/295. Sanctuary Relax Coccooning Body Butter 100ml - love this and WDBA.

    No UU's today
    And no proper INs
    But I have added 4 items to my lists (1 to "in use", 3 that I've no idea why I purchased to "new") as I found them in a box today.
    I've got a day home alone tomorrow, and plan to spend at least a couple of hours going through some boxes where I expect to find loads more :eek:

    I'm not counting thimgs I find in the house as INs as they've already been purchased.

    I have a couple of uu

    Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Body Cream 150ml - this was very lovely, smelt gorgeous and absorbed easily. I would happily use again but wouldn't buy myself I don't think - just due to the cost.

    nSPA 5 Minute Magic Mask 50ml - this was rather nice, it was easy to apply and rinse off, the only negative was the tiny beads in it which are very hard to burst on your face with it being a soft surface, when I did manage to burst them it was quite a tingly mask.

  • Another UU Elemis revitallise Me Hand Cream. Some INs:eek: 2 x Timotei conditoners, I was on my last one so its kinda ok but also LUSH Brazened Honey Face mask, the currnet one is only half gone so a little naughty but I don't go to the proper shops often;)
    Debt 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 sales

    I have a TA to declare:

    - Kerastase Densifique Mousse - WDBA, but the 'gas' has run out of the canister, so the mousse isn't 'moussing' up, if you know what I mean!

    I have also decided to give some items away as part of Christmas gifts:

    - Sanctuary Glycolic Peel Kit
    - Sanctuary Warming Mask Kit
    - Sanctuary Peptide Serum


    Down to 58 items.


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    And after moving only a few things this evening I've added a further 22 items to my 'in use' and 16 items to my 'new'. Not even touched the area I'm planning on sifting through tomorrow yet :o Getting seriously scared about how much I have in the house now :eek:

    There are some items where it's starting to look llike I won't need to buy any more until the next decade :rotfl: I'd seriously be surprised if I have to buy anything next year (or if I do, I reckon I'll have serious change from a fiver).

    cw18 - you are doing terrifically well at getting organised for the challenge :)

    I had 19 outs for November, which I'm happy about. I can't tell if this is going to be a good or bad month for UUs but here is my first one:

    Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lash Extending Treatment Mascara - WBA if it's possible. I've always bought this heavily discounted and it might be my HG mascara. I have LOTS of mascaras to use first before I can justify replacing this :(

    My main challenge for December/January is to minimise the INs to only be things that I really love or need. (It's tough!)

    Another UU:

    5/296. Cussons Mum & Me Relax & Unwind Bubble Bath 50ml - repurposed as shower gel and did the job.

    Morning everyone, have another UU to report:

    Lush Cupcake face mask - WBA, it's lovely and chocolatey and definitely de-junks my face. Have the Avene clenance mask to use next though.

    Also I'm planning on a couple of IN's tonight - UD Primer Potion, deo, a new mascara and the maybelline age rewind concealer. All are things that I'm about to run out of so will stock up while I can.
