    This thread is brilliant... I try my best to UU things that I have been given but I am not good at UU items that I have tried and don't like.

    I pledge to become an active member of this group to help my super bad habit. The thought of counting up how many items I have though actually fills me with dread. I bought new GHDs at the end of last year (they were a black friday offer, the current pair had to have the wire held a certain way to remain turned on and I have the thickest/curliest hair you've ever seen), and that box is full of nail varnishes alone.
    Maybe counting up all the products I have and reducing them will help kick the habit... I was going to buy hair dye this evening but I'm worried "one last purchase" isn't the best of ideas!!

    I bought the hair dye. And 3 packs of make up wipes as I'm very specific over which ones I buy and they were on a great offer. I know I'll UU so I'm deaming it okay.

    100% going to sort out though, I've recently changed my diet to include no animal products and have UU all cleaning products and now make my own. Time to do the same toiletries wise.

    Morning all
    UU four things already and three are off my PP list
    Small perfume sample - ok
    Bomb cosmetic bath bomb - yellow cupcake smelt nice and softened the water but they are getting so expensive!
    Sachet of Clinique serum. - made skin feel really nice and soft, I should use serum more often I've got others.
    Small tube of eye cream for dark circles - I don't suffer from them and the cream has been open and in my stash for ages do didn't want to risk using it near my eyes. It made a lovely rich elbow cream! (At least I used it)
