    Does anyone know what the deal is with Mason Pearson hairbrushes? They are sooooo expensive!

    I've never had one. I have a Denman which is very good.

    I have a uu

    Jergens Original Body Lotion - this is a cherry bakewell scent and is soooo lovely but this brand don't sell here anymore so I can't re-buy.

    Also finished burning an Aromatherapy Associates Joy Candle, this is a £40 candle at full price (I paid much less) it is gorgeous and very scented but doesn't burn for very long for the price due to 3 wicks and it being very wide and not that deep. I have two more of these in the stash. I have replaced it with a Yankee Candle small jar in Candy Cane Lane.

    Hi All,

    I am joining in with this thread and have just caught up on everyones progress. I would like to say well done on all of you used up and throw/given away products. I seriously need to use up a lot of stuff and also to stop buying things as well.

    I have banned myself from Boots and Superdrug unless for the purchase of Christmas presents for family and friends. So far I am doing fairly well with this.

    I don't currently have a list of things to use up I am just using the open items I have and then moving on to un opened items in stash.

    So far today I have UU -
    Harajuku Lovers G Perfume 30ml WMBA however I have about 6 more bottles of perfume to get through.

    Charlie Red Body Spray 75ml WBA nice scent if you just need a little freshen up during the day.

    2 UU to report tonight. First one is a bottle of Radox Stress Relief Bubble Bath. WBA as this has a nice scent and makes loads of bubbles.

    Next is a Soft and Gentle Deodorant. WMBA but in a different scent as I wasn't really too keen on the one I had. Cannot for the life of me remember the scent though. This was a good deodorant and did what it claimed to do.

    Still a long way to go with all the stuff I have stashed however I am making some progress and thats all that counts..;)

    Welcome Emilou! That's the best attitude to have. I have been nowhere near perfect with my INs but I know I've done much better than if I wasn't keeping track at all so as long as the numbers are going in the right direction that's all that matters. Good luck! :)

    Finally found some time to pop on for a quick update! Hope all are well, welcome Emilou and welcome back VALM (so jealous of your haul btw!)

    UU:

    2/142. TBS Cocoa Butter Shower ream 250ml - WNBA, wasn't a fan of the scent (completely different to the body butter, which I adored) and found it to be too gloopy.

    3/143. C&E Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus & Sage hand Therapy 25g - WMBA, loved the scent and it moisturised well without being sticky or greasy.

    4/144. Tigi Bed Head Control Freak Shampoo 400ml - WNBA, others in the range I prefer. Replaced with same (my final one from the large sale stash) to use with the remains of the matching conditioner.

    I have a couple of splutterers so hoping for a couple more outs before the end of the month, but it's slow going at the moment!

    INs (all freebies):

    3/95. L'Occitane Precious Cream 8ml

    4/96. Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep Recovery night gel balm 3ml

    5/97. Vichy Idealia Smoothing and illuminating cream 3ml

    I have a few weekends away over the coming weeks so these will be perfect for that.

    My non-make-up stash currently stands at 111 and I would love to get this to 100 by the end of November.

    Welcome Emilou.

    I have a uu

    M&S Vintage Love EDT 30ml - WNBA, this was OK but not my favourite of theirs. Have replaced it with a Davidoff perfume from the stash.
