    I've got a few items with the tubes cut, so hopefully they will be finished soon. It's shampoo and conditioner I'm drowning in, and it takes me so long to finish a bottle as it is! Any uses for repurposing conditioner?

    If you ever hand wash silk you can use it as a fabric conditioner (i.e. dissolve it in cool water, swish your silk/delicate fabric in it and don't rinse it out). :)


    Babafette - all best wishes for your upcoming wedding! :happyhear


    Good to see you, Roguey! Very sorry to hear that something traumatic threw you off track but it's lovely to have you back :)


    Deleted_User - I didn't mean to panic you! What I really meant was that if it was rosacea then in a lot of cases it can be brought under control relatively easily. I'm likely to get rosacea when I'm older - it's fairly common if you have pale, sensitive skin like I do. I just felt awful that my Mum suffered needlessly by putting of a trip to the Doc and trying to treat it as if it was acne.

    UUs

    Rituals Zensation Foaming Shower Gel (50ml) - lovely! WBA as part of set/offer.

    Miller Harris Noix De Tuberose (sample) - a very bold perfume! Much like Fracas. I love it but don't think I'd buy it (v expensive and can be a bit overwhelming).

    Love seeing all the PPs and make up baskets. I am very nosy :o


    Willowbee, it sounds like you are doing really well with trying to use things. I know it can be really difficult to use things that you feel are for 'best'. I do this with lots of things too, particularly make up and clothes. I think it is a slow but rewarding process of starting to change these habits.

    I love seeing the lists as well :D

    Thank you for the encouragement. :A I agree that it's a rewarding process but sometimes it does seem very slow :rotfl:

    Back again :o thanks for the new thread.
    Not much is happening on the way of UUs, it's amazing how long things last, no wonder we get bored and buy some more ...:p

    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    Good morning ladies. I've been meaning to post for the last couple of days but work is manic as we're short staffed at work.

    Firstly big thanks to all those lovely ladies who posted about Sophie. Bonding bunnies is tricky at best and I don't think it worthwhile getting another bunny for Smudge as she and Sophie were sisters and she is 7 now which is considered old in bunny years. She is eating well and bouncing around when out on the grass but still looks at me dolefully when she's in the hutch.

    FizzWhizz I'm glad that Mr Fizz is on the mend.

    Congrats Babafette for your wedding on Friday.

    Welcome back Roguey. Hope your sinusitis soon clears up. I used to suffer from that too.

    Welcome back also to Maddiemay. Glad you had a lovely break.

    Finally welcome newbies.

    OK an IN and OUT already.

    IN Maybelline Nudes pallette. Lovely colours. Some muted greys and purple shades that I didn't own previously.

    OUT conditioner from Vidal Sassoon hair colour.

    My PP list then for June

    Umberto Gianini dry shampoo x 2
    Liz Earle Eyebright
    Mark Hill straightening serum
    Liz Earle IBST
    LE Skin Repair moisturiser
    Elemis PCMC
    Avon foundation
    LG Balance N Brighten
    LG Spackle
    LOccitane jasmine and bergamot soap
    Soap and Glory righteous butter.

    Phew better go jump in the shower. Bye ladies.
    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!

    Ahhh weddings!! I'm wedding obsessed at the moment (recently got engaged). Have an amazing day and tell us all about it *Babafette*!!!

    Asset 2004 - I agree that we get bored and buy things because they take so long to use up. I'm having such a huge craving at the moment but there's nothing I need. And buying shampoo and hand soap just isn't the same.

    Willowbee - I don't think I have any silk to wash!! I leave my hair dry naturally now and it's very curly so I don't tend to use conditioner have a bloody big bottle of it though... thinking of giving it to my mother!

    Have a small PP for this month to get me started:
    Rimmel Primer - Spluttering
    Maybeline BB Cream - Spluttering
    Maybeline Match Perfect Powder - see base pan
    Maybeline Shadow Pencil - Concentrate on one (I have two) and down to an inch.
    Soap & Glory Hand Food - full tube

    I feel that if I put things in the plan then it'll force me to continually use.

    Fingers crossed anyway!

    Morning ladies.

    I have a few uu's

    Leighton Denny Under Cover Base Coat 4ml - WBA, this is very good, it drys matt which helps your colour polish cling to it.

    Leighton Denny Crystal Finish Top Coat - this was a full size and the last little bit is too gloopy to use, I did get most of it used though. WMBA, it works well but so does Poshe and that is cheaper.

    Lancome Hydra Zen Moisturiser 15ml - this is lovely and I have opened another pot the same size to replace it. I can get something equally nice with SPF for less than Lancome prices so probably WNBA.

    Morning all

    first uu's for June

    BareMinerals complexion rescue sample - natural. WMBA. Thought this would be too dark but worked really well. very comfortable to wear.
    Hotel soap. As soon as I think I'm getting on top of these, we seem to acquire some more. I suppose I should just stop taking them, but it seems like waste if I don't...

    I so enjoy seeing all your PP lists, I might make my own later.

    Morning!

    1 UU today (and probably one more this evening but we shall see!)

    • Garnier hand repair cream –WNBA, hydrating, but I didn't like the smell. It smelts like play-doh.
    No more goo hoarding!
