I have sold some items on ebay which I had forgotten about:
Bare Minerals Original Foundation - full size
Bare Minerals Original Foundation x 2 2g size.
I do like this foundation but have sold 4 pots in total which were the wrong colour for me.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Ok, first UU of 2014
Soap & Glory make yourself youthful serum....WNBA as it didnt make me youthful!0 -
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
No UU's this week, but I am actually sorting through my perfume collection currently and working out a plan to decant and put in all my different bags so I can use them up faster and also sorting out what to give away. So I should have a load of UU's next month.
I do have some splutterers and they happen to be lipglosses so I'm really excited to finish those. I did pull out two lipsticks that I have bought in 2009. They smelled fine so I'm going to actively use those up.No buying toiletries challenge

UU
Yves Rocher mini/travel sized Extra Volume colours of nature Mascara --would buy again because it's the perfect size to put in a palette that's lost it's mascara. Nice on the lashes and not difficult to get off with remover
Aran Aromatics After the Rain hand soother - 30 ml jam jar sized pot. Loved the smell but think it was just too runny
Body Shop Wise Woman Softening Toner - 200ml. The long haul job from Hades. Somebody here once posted that they had learnt there was no need to stash toner. How right they are. Though this was never going to end. It was a strange product, too thick to be a liquid, to thin to be a gel Not worried though, as it's no longer available (at least here in Canada). I also can think of six or more travel sized bottles of assorted toners in the stash.
2 x 30ml Gilchrist & Soames Body Butter. A collection of these came home from vacation a couple of winters back, so it's time to use them. I love it! Sinks right in and doesn't make you feel greasy. You can put tights on right afterwards without that clingy feeling. No real scent, pretty neutral. Got another four in the stash.
Only one real in. Simple starter pack was marked 30% off the other day at the grocery store so, for $7 I got the small bottles of cleanser, toner, moisturizer and a pack of wipes. I'm nearly out of wipe.
Simple products seem to be marked down or on clearance everywhere I go, so I'm wondering if it's being discontinued or having a huge packaging change.0 -
Welcome back fizzwhizz, I was wondering where you'd got to. Hope you are well
I have a rather momentus UU, I have used up the bottle of Charlie perfume that was in my stash, it is the first time in over 25 years that I have none of it. DH buys me some really lovely and expensive perfumes which I love but his mum has always bought me Charlie saying she knows it's my fave, (perhaps wheni was a teenager it was but my tastes have changed over the years) the last couple of years the Charlie has not been bought so must be harder to come by or be discontinued And I've finally runout.SPC~12 ot 124

Aah I'd forgotten how much I love Palmers cocoa butter. It just agrees with my skin. I'll miss it when it's gone because I've got a few other creams to get through before I buy any more!
UU today - TBS Cranberry showergel - nice but not my favourite scent. Not a fan of the bottles either, take up too much space with the round base. Back to Original Source for me!0 -
I have a couple of TA's - I am packing up the house to move and think to myself 'I am not taking all this stuff to the new house just so it can sit in my nice new units wasted!!'
- St Tropez Instant Tan
- UTan gradual tanning lotion
I will try and UU my Dove Summer Glow lotion, and I am also giving away my Vita Liberata tan to a friend.
Also finished up a Boots No7 Glycolic Peel kit on face and d!collet! today - have another in the stash. This was on special at £10 so I had bought two. I would possibly buy again, but it has whetted my appetite for even stronger solutions to see even better results - this was a good entry level kit.
