    Bit late to join up this month but here is my October list with the use ups marked off

    1. No7 smooth and improve cellulite lotion (next on my hit list of body lotions)
    2. No7 stay perfect foundation Soft Rose
    3. No7 time resisting day cream
    4. No7 Naturally kissed moisturiser face x 1
    5. No7 protect and perfect lipcare
    6. No7 radiance revealed exfoliator
    7. Nails inc. avocado oil for nails
    8. No7 revitaliser hand saviour
    9. No7 smoothing eye base
    10. No5 hot oil treatments for hair (one gone, two left)
    [STRIKE]11. White Gift shop verbena soap[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]12. S&G Girliglo body spray [/STRIKE]

    So PP is much the same but have already used up:

    1. L'oreal BB cream foundation - WMBA - quite liked it but would need to find out of there is a lighter shade. The pale was bought for me as part of my xmas last year but I still felt it was a bit 'orangey' for me. I liked the light feel of this foundation though and it lasted well throughout the day.
    2. Essentials travel size bath foam. Went to have a bath on Sunday after clearing the garden and no bubble bath except for a travel size one that I had got from a hotel :eek:. Anyway used it up and will need to buy some new bubble bath.

    PP for November
    1. No7 smooth and improve cellulite lotion (next on my hit list of body lotions)
    2. No7 stay perfect foundation Soft Rose
    3. No7 time resisting day cream
    4. No7 Naturally kissed moisturiser face x 1
    5. No7 protect and perfect lipcare
    6. No7 radiance revealed exfoliator
    7. Nails inc. avocado oil for nails
    8. No7 revitaliser hand saviour
    9. No7 smoothing eye base
    10. No5 hot oil treatments for hair (one gone, two left)

    Hellooooooooo :wave:

    I have MISSED this thread.

    I have been away for a long long time.

    Though I have to say, this thread has really helped me with long term hoarder habits.

    I still stash toiletries, but I am MUCH better at using them up now.

    So I am currently compiling a list of my stash to post on here and I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things!

    Welcome back.

    Welcome back suzitier!

    I have decided to throw away the Soap & Glory Hand Food that I have on my desk. I try to use it as often as possible but it makes my hands so greasy, even if I just use a tiny bit.

    Could you take it home and use it up as foot cream.
    Have you all seen, LUSH have a 1kg Snow Fairy:eek::eek::eek: I won't be buying even though I love snow fairy, Id rather stick with 500g bottles, 1kg with never it in the cupboard!

    I was in Lush at the weekend and bought a bubble bar for DD for her birthday, it smells of snow fairy, I looked at the shower gel but £4.95 for the little one is a crazy price imo.

    That would have been a good idea.. it's gone now though! I feel lighter for it :rotfl:

    UU this morning of Hollister body spray - enjoyed using it but WNBA, not really my sort of thing and only came across it when starting this challenge. Smell was lovely though. I had a real sense of achievement putting it in the recycling this morning!

    I went into Superdrug last night and bought a few things that I don't keep count of. I'm good at keeping control of shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste and body wash. I was excited to find out that all of their own brands are cruelty free so I ended up with 1 anti-dandruff shampoo, 2 body washes and 2 deodorants for a fiver. I've never used them before but felt it was worth a go, I use their moisturiser and find it brilliant so I'm hoping the same. I'll keep you updated!

    Welcome back suzitiger!

    UU
    2/150. Sebastian Potion 9 Lite 150ml - WNBA, this was only £1 but is usually pretty expensive and I don't think it really did anything to help my hair.

    Welcome back suzitiger!
    A couple of UU to start off November.

    Blistex raspberry lemonade blast lipbalm. I really like this WBA, but I have an absolute mountain of lip products to UU first.

    French connection body spray 75ml. Nice enough, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to find it again.

    Boots extracts vanilla body spray 100ml I tepurposed this as room fragrance as it was too sickly for me sadly.

    One IN:
    Clinique nude pop lip colour. Did not need this. What so ever. It does look nice though :D

    Well November is going well!

    1 more UU to report. It's tiny, but baby steps and all that. It's amazing how long it taakes to UU a mini when you're trying!

    Nivea Crème Soft Shower Cream 50ml WMBA

    nothing special really. With the winter coming, back I go to the Sanctuary stash. The ginger scent is warming, so will replace this with a full size Sanctuary Body wash. I keep seeing shower gels I want to try, and I can't because of my stash :(

    1 UU today, Beauty blitz winter wonderland body butter 50ml- Wmba this had hardly anything in it so I honestly don't see how it can be labelled 50ml it's lasted me 3 days! More like 15-20ml if that! However it was a lovely butter the amount there was. I liked the scent and it was a nice thick butter. Good stuff. Think it was originally primark. No idea if it's still available though. Just wish there was more in the pot!

    Hello everyone - feeling proud as the nails inc set I bought on a pure whim from qvc last weekend arrived yesterday I opened it one look and it's been repackaged and being posted back to qvc this week! The postage I can live without and better than over £24 of product I don't need!

    Well done. Like you say it's better to just lose the postage than regret the spend at all. I just had to stop watching QVC in the end. A tip for you is if you find you are tempted by TSV offers look at shoppingtelly.com forums as they usually divulge what is in each kit and it's price prior to the item going to air. I found that I could easily check out the "ml for ml" value and whether I would actually use enough of a kit to make it worth the money.

    Fragrance direct has got EOS stuff currently, can't remember flavours though think there's a few.

    This is good to know thanks. Emma loves these. I spotted above that another poster had finished one of these. I wonder how long it takes.
    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!

    OK 3 UUs and 3 purchases (not strictly INs - read on:-)

    UUs:-

    30ml LE C&P. Have started with a cold. Don't actually feel ill just weary. Got home last night, ran a lovely bath and slathered my face with the last of this little tube. Felt so comforting. I do find that my skin feels tight and parched when I have a cold.

    Lush Milky Bath bubble bar. This is what I put in my bath. Love love love this. Will repurchase when all my Lush bath products have gone (have a Holly Golightly and Peeping Santa to use).

    Lush Dirty shave cream. Love this as it's the only product that does not cause an irritation when I shave. The skin on my legs has felt so calm after using this so WDBA hence the INs:-

    Sent Emma to Lush today to get a replacement tub of the above so a necessary IN?

    I also gave her money to get replacement King of Skin bar and Ocean Salt for herself as both these products help her with her spotty skin.

    I have MrM's birthday coming up in December and he is getting low on his Elemis Sensitive Shave Cream. Anyone know of any good Elemis offers at the mo?

    Oh, also repainted my nails last night and am wearing OPI I Theadora You.
