    3 more items out as I have binned two mini Tresemme shampoo bottles and some cheapo dry skin cream. I've been reading Marie Kondo's book and feel fired up today!

    Edit: 5 bottles of cheapy suncream, self-tan and after-sun chucked!

    Plus a deodorant and 2 unused make-up items which I might send to my cousin or donate.

    Couple of UUs from me

    Vichy Lipometric for Stubborn Cellulite - well actually TA. Very little left at the bottom of the tube and just recycled after rinsing. I used this and got ok results previously but I think it is discontinued now? Regardles, I have couple of Nive Cellulite creams which I like so WNBA.

    Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Gentle Hydrating Cream SPF 15 - I love this cream. Goes well for my skin and I also use the cleanser. I do have couple more - bought as a set from TKMaxx. So WNBA right away.

    Pukka Ayuveda Sample - Aloe Vera & Hanuka Money Radiance Serum : TA after using half. Horrible stuff..

    Bioderma Hand Cream : Bought at airport previously. An ok hand cream with glycerin. Not sure I can buy in England but nothing irreplacable.

    Aquafresh Mouthwash: Was a LHJ as I didn't like the taste. Finally gone!

  • 2 UUs today so far:rotfl:

    Sanctuary hand wash - part of a gift set I was given for Christmas. I would use again if gifted but it's not something I would buy myself.

    Sanctuary pumice foot scrub - part of gift set (another Christmas present) not sure if you can be separately. Nice to use WDA but have others to use up first.

    I've got the hand wash in the kitchen at the moment and must say it is lovely.
    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!

    Hi everyone, I'm in again.
    Thanks for setting up Deleted_User.

    Thanks to all for the lovely messages about our wedding, I didn't get a chance to thank you all back in Jan/Feb.
    I was following along in March, but just didn't get the chance to join in.

    To start off April 2 UU:
    Sanctuary body scrub mini 50ml. This is a nice scrub, but have used it to death! I think there might be one final one in the stash that I'll leave for a while!
    TBS passion fruit facial cleanser 250ml. This is a stash relic bought in a deal five for £2 delivered or something cheap like that! It is a nice gentle cleanser, I have the dregs of another one still to use, which will also be used up this month.
    I've also dug out a whole load of sample sachets and minis to use up. I can definitely see progress, I am getting rid of empty boxes and bags now.

    Happy Easter everyone.
