Congratulations babafetteSPC~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 Kind0 -
I have my first uu albeit a teeny one
Jimmy Choo Flash 2ml - WNB, it's ok but just smells of perfume, very generic scent like so many. All my favourites are very distinctive, I like a scent which is recognisable.
I sorted out my monthly make up basket this morning and am using the following for the whole of June (unless something runs out):
Garnier Oil Free BB Cream
No7 Creme Touch Powder
Body Shop Lip & Cheek Tint
No7 Mineral Blush in Rose mixed with Bare Minerals blush in Vivacious.
S&G Archery
S&G Eye Primer
Estee Lauder Sumptuous Mascara
Body Shop Liquid Liner - Black
Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero
Dior 5 colour palette in Rosy Tan
Benefit Boing Concealer
Garnier 2 in 1 Eye Roll on
For lips I will be mainly using my Clinique Chubby Stick and Revlon lipgloss in Pink Ice.
I want the Dior rosy tan palette so badly!No buying toiletries challenge

Another two UUs for me :j I have loads of stuff that is half used where I had been quite happily using it then bought something else before it was finished - tut tut.:o
2. Mitchum 48hr (Powder Fresh). I love this stuff and have about six more in my stash and can't imagine ever buying anything different! Will be replacing it with a half used Mitchum Ultimate in Pure Fresh. It's a shame they don't make the Ultimate in Powder Fresh as I really like the formula and how it performs but don't like the Pure Fresh fragrance
3. Moroccanoil Treatment Oil 25ml. I must have had this open for over 18 months and I loved it at first but then it seemed to stop doing anything! I don't think I will buy again as there are loads of alternatives that are cheaper and probably just as good and the screw top is just super messy - looooooove the smell though! Will be replacing with an already nearly empty (probably only three/four uses left) teeny tiny Mystic Diamond Argan Oil Hair Elixir.0 -

Only if I don't have a replacement in there do I go through the three (or is it 4 since I was sorting boxes a month or so ago?) boxes of 'never opened' items in my bedroom !!!Cheryl0 -
I've UU
2) Molton Brown Body Lotion in Black Peppercorn (I know its for men but I love the scent)
Used up a pack of false nails..I think I'll stick to my natural nails from now on.
Also threw away an eyeshadow brush (started shedding) for now...I may have to go through my brushes again.0 -
The cupboard under the washbasin in my en-suite is full of such items.... they're now the first I look to when I finish something off.

:rotfl: yeeeeeah I have a box of things on my bedside table that are currently in use, a "face" drawer and a "hair" drawer then three boxes in my wardrobe of face stuff, body stuff and hair stuff. OOOOPS! Oh well, it can't be undone and I'm now addressing the situation!0 -
Love seeing all the PPs and make up baskets. I am very nosy
I think nosiness is why half of us are here :rotfl:Apologies for my recent absence, I have been trying to keep up with the challenge but I am getting married on Friday and have been very busy trying to make sure everything is organised and under control!
:hello: and welcome home! Lovely news regarding your impending nuptials, I hope your stress eases off and you have a magical day :Arogueylawyer wrote: »Here we go... I am RogueyLawyer and I am a products addict, spendaholic and general all around hoarder.
:hello: and welcome home to you too! Hope you're feeling better soon, remember a good pamper is often the best medicineNot 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
Amen, sisterI 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!
How on earth do you manage to leave naturally curly hair unconditioned?! :eek: I have to smother mine in tonnes of 'dish every day just to fight the frizz monster, I'm seriously envious!
Ladies, I have disgraced myselfI saw a freebie offer in the Grabbit board re: MakeUpRevolution and I bought so much makeup, I am actually ashamed. I *only* spent £32 but there are 11 (yes, ELEVEN) eyeshadow palettes in amongst various other bits. I swatched a bit when I opened the parcel and it seems very hit and miss. Yet again, the "I've seen a bargain and I can't let it get away!" monster has bitten me on the 'arris. I don't count eyeshadows in my stash (thank the Lord :rotfl:) but I'm making an executive decision not to declare any of it as INs; if and when I finish any of the products I'll let you know but they obviously won't count as OUTs either.
I am so peeved with myself. Silly girl :mad:0 -

Was that the offer get 20%. Spend £25.00 and get a kit that contained amongst other things two palettes. Emma wanted me to get that and I said "No". Maybe that's the way forward for me, hope that Emma asks so I can justify saying no as she has very bad eyeshadow fetish. She was waving a picture of the new UD palette under my nose last night.
I TA another mini lacquer last night. Was OPI Metallic 4 Life - one of the Nicki Minaj collection. I remember that I was given these as a leaving gift when I left my last job which was about 3½ years ago. It was so gloopy that I'm amazed that I managed to get a coat onto each nail. Am wearing Avon Gunmetal with M4L on top on most of my nails but have Gunmetal with OPI My Signature DC on my ring fingers. Look OK. The M4L has started to chip already though.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!

3 UU's last night, wahoo!
• Macadamia oil hair mask – WBA, seemed to do the job as much as any other hair mask!
• Superdrug Hand recovery cream – WBA, seemed nice and moisturising
• Avene Triacneal – WBA and have already re-ordered.
A successful few products it seems!No more goo hoarding!
