    No UU's to report. HOW do you ladies manage to get through so much product so quickly?? Maybe I will just have to start throwing away!!

    I choose couple of items to use during a month and stick with them till they are used up :)

    Last night I convinced my OH to wax my legs (I normally have to suggest a couple days in advance to give him time to come round, not quite sure why he hates it so much!!) and then the wax ran out after doing the back of one leg and half the back of the 2nd. I couldn't believe it!! I thought it had looked plenty when I checked. So now I have to go to boots on my way home and purchase some. I don't count this in my UU/Ins but thought you might all like a laugh.

    Welcome JellyJosie!! I absolutely love your idea of putting a £1 in a box, good motivation and some money in there when you need to buy something. I'll have saved a small fortune by the time I come round to purchasing anything!!

    Question time...

    Have any of you swapped anything on the facebook page? Has it worked ok in the past? I see it mentioned in the overview of this thread that there is one though I don't see how to message the people involved to join up?

    if anyone could help I would love it!! I have some bits and pieces that need a good home :)

    I don't bother with Facebook full stop so can't help with this. Someone on here did run it a while ago but I don't think she posts anymore.

    I have some ins - my half price Rituals order arrived:

    Hammam Delight Foaming Shower Gel 200ml
    Touch of Happiness Whipped Body Cream 200ml
    Himalaya Wisdom Scrub 265g
    Mandarin Bliss anti perspirant stick
    Cool anti perspirant stick
    Cerulean Nail Polish

    Afternoon all
    Not been in for ages, I think I accidentally unsubscribed because of fat fingers hadn't realised till I'd got done UUs to declare.
    Welcome to the new beauty product declutterers
    Hope everyone is well

    5 UUs
    Two sachets of muscle rub - hadn't realised what this was till I read the small print, pulled a tendon in my calf wearing new shoes, it's much better now after rubbing that on and changing back to other shoes.
    Bottle of B&H body wash
    2 bars of soap

    1GA
    A bottle of perfume - I donated to a friends raffle.

    1IN
    Been sent a pot of regenerating night cream to test
    SPC~12 ot 124

    In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind, be more kind my friend, try to Be More Kind
  • Another two UUs!

    12. Mystic Diamond Argan Oil Hair Elixir - Pocket Edition. I won't buy this again, it's no better than any of the others that probably cost less! Not sure how much it costs as it was a sample but I've never seen it in Boots! Will replace it with a giant 500ml Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream. No idea why I bought such a large bottle when I had never even tried it but luckily I like it, smells amazing!

    13. Montagne Jeunesse Creamy Coconut Hydrating Face Mask 15ml. I bought this on a whim as I usually use an exfoliating gel type mask or a deep cleansing clay mask. I liked it, my face feels really soft after using and I easily got three uses out of the sachet but I'm really not keen on the smell so probably wouldn't buy again.

    Hi ladies,

    One IN:
    Rock n Rose Couture perfume 30ml- an ebay bargain that I picked up, sadly no longer for sale many places, and I missed the scent.

    2 UU:
    Candy Cane Peppermint soap. I brought this out at Christmas time, but it had no scent at all, it was very disappointing, so was relegated to washing the dog's towels.

    Lush It's raining men shower gel 250g. This is so lovely, will buy again in the future at some point, if they still make it?

    UU: 7 INs: 2

    I had a root through my stash the other night, and I still have a mountain of body moisturiser, but I think I have enough shower gels and soap for the rest of the year, or perhaps a little more, so that's a really good sign. I've only really got four main groups: moisturiser, soap, shower gel and fragrances in the stash now.
  • I haven't bought shower gel in 5 months and I still have 2 to use up. Just goes to show.

    Hi all.

    I have a uu

    Lancome Dreamtone 1 40ml - the full name is really long and I can't remember it. WNBA, this is £60+ and is not worth the price tag. I prefer their Advanced Genefique but don't have any intentions of buying that either.

    One UU today

    12. Rimmel eyeliner in Navy Blue from the poundshop. I love the colour on this but the pencil was very hard. I'm going to be a bit wary of getting makeup items from the poundshop because when their makeup gallery items were arriving....they stocked them in my area 9 months later and even makeup that has been sitting on the shelf still has time to expire. I bought a pen eyeliner by NYC that came out dry and this Rimmel pencil was horrible it hurt my eyelids. I've also seen makeup/nail varnish in our local store being sold that is from a year and a half ago. Really makes me think how long some of the makeup stores sell has been sitting on the shelf.
