I'm in again! I've had a pretty bad month with quite a few ins from eBay bargains plus an avon order. Although I managed to stay out of the shops due to working extra shifts, I've unfortunately nabbed a load of bargains on eBay. I will hold my hands up and say that nabbing a bargain and then getting my goodies in the post makes me feel a lot better about things. I've never hoarded so much since my parents split up, but I need to stop making excuses really :-(. My me time when I'm not at work is really having a nice long bath or a long hot shower. I love things that smell nice and I think I am a tad obsessed, if I think something sounds nice then I just have to try it
no one will ever be able to accuse me of smelling bad but my stash is rather ridiculous. I'm hoping having joined this that it will help me to actively get stuff used up. Our boiler has packed up and I keep looking longingly at my bath bomb stash but luckily the new boiler arrives on Monday... I can't wait!!

Outs:
Tesco extracts Shea bath fizzer, one of a set of four, really like it. WBA but I have a ton of other bath bombs to use and another of these left in this scent.
Tesco girlz only dry shampoo (lilac bottle) - did the job but I wasn't keen on the scent unlike the one in the pink bottle which is a HG product. WNBA sticking to the pink bottle now.
Fruity beauty luscious lime bath essence - this is from ages ago so probably discontinued, WBA as I like the smell of it but don't need to as I have a ton of bath products stashed.!
Fearne hand lotion - fine did the job but wasn't my favourite scent. Probably WNBA.
Super drug pro care sensitive mouthwash - fab, pleasant taste and does a good job, provably now a HG product for me, will continue to buy this now.!
Eta just washed my hair and used up the vosenr kids strawberry shampoo. WNBA it smells ok but it made my hair really dry. I think my mum bought this for mr after surgery as it's mild but it's no good for me now so wouldn't get it again, I prefer Johnson's baby shampoo when I'm unwell.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018

I don't tend to wear foundation only on special occasions or if I'm going out with a friend, for everyday use I wear 2true tea tree concealer from superdrug. And I'd unfortunately struggle to cut out dairy products as I have osteoporosis and arthritis and already have an ankle fusion at 24. My surgeon said that I need to be drinking at least one pint of milk everyday (I hate it so I try to get it through milk in hot drinks, yogurt and cheese). I was put on calcium tablets after my fusion nut they have stopped those now it has healed. It'd be interesting to see if the dairy is contributing.
I am a follower of Caroline Hirons, who writes a blog as beauty mouth (google will find her) this week she has put out 2 you tube vids with a dermatologist, the first one is an introduction, which is background stuff and this one is on acne, you may find it interesting

I'm in still but have had lots of big bottles and makeup products to get through which takes forever. Things last a surprisingly long time when you're trying to actually finish them!
Got a few splutterers on the way. My face cream is due to finish in the next two weeks, so today I bought TBS Vitamin C face cream, which I've wanted to try for a while. I'm off on holiday this week so I couldn't put off replacing the face cream while I'm away, it would be such a pain to run out abroad. I decided to try this cream as it's got SPF 30, rather than go back to the trusty Ponds face cream, which has no sun protection.

Hi Ladies.
I came across a Youtube video yesterday where a woman had completely finished her Naked palette. She started using it full time last January and finished it in December, some shadows had been used previously but all 12 were still going strong. Gunmetal was her last colour to finish. She is doing the same thing this year with another palette. I can only think of one duo where I have completely finished the shadows and that was an Estee Lauder GWP duo with Hot Cinnamon and Ivory Slipper, they were small pans and shallow too.
Recently I have been doing a weekly makeup basket, I have some of the 7 items I want to use up by May in there and then each week I put it a new eye palette or couple of eyeshadows and use them for 7 full days. If after 7 days I am totally hating it I will have a think about what to do with the shadows but that has not happened yet. Last week I used Stila In the Light palette and next week it is Urban Decay Smoked.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
Fashion on the Ration 28/660 -
I remembered the last item of my 7 things to use up by May:
Rimmel Stay Glossy Lip Gloss in Non Stop Glamour, this will be a challenge to finish, it is very light so I will need to layer it for a stronger look.
The family were out this morning doing various sporting activities so I decided to do a makeup inventory, I've never done it before but I needed to be horrified and I am. My totals today are:
Blush - 42
Concealer - 21
Eye Crayon - 10 (not eyeliner, the thicker shadow stick type)
Mascara - 33
Brows - 13
Highligher - 12
Eye Primer - 8
Eyeliner - 58
Lip Gloss - 23
Lip Crayons - 24
Lipstick - 22
Lip Liner - 2
Single Shadows - 49
Cream Eyeshadows - 24
Palettes - 71 (anything with more than 2 shadows)
Foundation/BB - 24
Bronzer - 6
Powder - 13
Primer - 17
Total makeup products 472 :eek::eek::eek::eek:.
I am hoping to use 25 things completely this year but that will hardly make a dent.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
