    I'm back in again for this month. Thanks Sundaysgirl for starting us off again.

    Last month was a meh use up total. Kick starting this month with two LHJ UUs.

    Olay eye cream with max factor. WNBA had two in the stash and finally seen the back of them. Didn't find it great for fine lines so used it as part of a rotational under eye regime.

    Again Olay face cream with wake up wonder. Think it has been discontinued. It was ok and did a good enough job just not as good as others I've tried.

    I need to catch up with you all and will read the thread later however in the meantime, a tot up of Feb's totals including a couple more UUs:-

    Verbena eco-refill pouch. Refilled bathroom bottle. Bit unsure about this now as it looks a greener colour than usual. Am wondering if they have changed the formula.

    Vidal Sassoon conditioner that came with last colour kit. This is lovely. Maybe buy one of their treatments if the Tresemme doesn't perform.

    INS: 20 (including birthday presents but excluding Veet products bought on a whim because I really can't remember how many I ended up with!!)

    Last item from PP list : LE IBST. HG. New one to open from stash.

    UUs/OUTs: 18

    Not a great month. New PP list though:-

    Neutrogena hand cream 50ml
    Sainsburys nail polish remover
    various founfation sachets/travel tubes
    L'Occitane shea hand cream 30ml
    YSL brown Babydoll mascara
    Lush Ponche shower gel 100ml
    Shower gel that I brought back from cruise - can't for the life of me remember the brand name
    Elemis Frangipani shower cream
    Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator
    Decleor Herbal Clay Mask

    Now for March already:-

    UU: Garnier facial wipes. WNBA. Needed more than one wipe each time.

    UU: Bomb Cosmetics Bath Brulee. Don't know which one it was but it was very oily and I didn't like it very much.

    INs: 3 x Simple facial wipes. Bought on 3 for 2 at Boots.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Some people do, but I usually just put my stash list numbers because I keep my list written in a notebook and can't be bothered to type them all out :) I may type them up when the list gets much smaller!
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)

    I have an itty bitty uu

    Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier 10ml, this came in my advent calendar, I really loved it and will buy the full size.

    I have moved on to a bottle of Avon Far Away for now and then when my current shower gel runs out I will replace it with Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and the matching body lotion and start using the perfume too.

    Evening

    UU's
    1 shoot for the stars bath ballistic WDBA love this one ( have another 9 so will not run out any time soon)

    2, Tony moly egg pore thing 30 g WNBA loved the container (egg shaped) but that where it ended. It smelled of washing up liquid and did not really do anything much for my skin. Might keep the container.

    3, Philopsophy ginger bread 480ml WBA loved the scent of this, have replaced it with a cinnamon scented one.

    4, Penguin bubble bar WNBA did not like the scent, one more to go

    5-6 , 2 X snow angels WMBA like them but don't love them, I do hate the amount of glitter and the time it takes to clean the bath after.

    7, sheet mask WBA
