can I join in please :wave:
I have soo many bits a pieces to use up and I've just developed a lush obsession which I'm trying not to add to. Lots of little travel sizes to use up recently and a STACK of makeup to use!

Welcome Keza. There are plenty of LUSH fans here to keep you company. Speaking of LUSH I have today received an email from them offering me a free bubble bar. Emma has requested Big Bang. V pleased with this response from LUSH.

2 UU's tonight. One is a Lush Bubble Bar which I think was Brightside. I have another one of these in my stash which is a good thing as I WDBA. The smell is amazing and as I break them into 4 I get more value for my money.

The other was Lush's Defluff.. WMBA it was meant to smell like strawberry but didn't in fact it reminded me of the smell of hair removal cream. Made my skin feel really smooth though.

I used to get sucked in the Body Shop sales but still working my way through a stash from about 3 or 4 years ago The thing with BS is that there's always another sale round the corner!
I have opened a BS strawberry shower gel after I discovered it had started leaking:eek: used it once but not convinced it's the best shower gel I've used.
I do have my first OUT of the year :j Avon Skin So Soft lotion, it's the fresh scented one that people swear by for deterring midges. WMBA but have plenty of others to UU first though!

I've read other reviews of Defluff that comment on the smell not being of strawberry. I personally do like the smell. I've also used Dirty which smells of lavender and is gorgeous.

The more I used it the more the smell grew on me. I wouldn't say that it is a bad smell to be fair. I might try the dirty one you have mentioned.

Hope it's ok to join in. I used to do this a few years back but dropped off. I put away £1 for every UU and use the proceeds in the Space NK January sale. My stash is slowly shrinking but my purchase are much more considered.

I have 184 toiletry items to use up including bath, body, skincare, haircare, lip balms and perfumes.

I want to use up 10 products in January.

So far I've used up five:

Aveda Smooth Infusion conditioner WBA
Laura Mercier Fig Body Lotion WBA
Scholl Foot Serum WNBA
Trilogy conditioner WBA
Bobbi Brown Eye Cream WNBA

Hope to report more soon.

Eyebright - I hope you are on the mend.

Welcome Keza & pinkfluffybabe.

VALM - I was trading with DD last night too. Ages ago I bought a Maybelline nail polish in Divine Wine and your could get one half price so I got DD Berry Stain. She has worn it a couple of times and I really wanted it so I asked her if she would swap, she wanted a blue so she took a mini bottle of Ciate in a baby blue colour. If she wants to ever use the Maybelline one I will lend her it.

I repainted my nails with the Berry Stain and they look lovely.

1 UU to report today - toothpaste. I still have two half-used tubes so I will use them up before buying new. This thread is a great incentive to me- I'm saving money and decluttering too.

Another item gone from my PP list :-

S&G Foam Call shower gel - the massive full sized one. WDBA. I'm actually considering buying the OOTW S&G kit if it goes down in the 75% sale. £15 seems too good a bargain to give up plus Emma has applied for Uni and I'm thinking that I should be stockpiling items for when she is a poor student.

Will update my PP list when I have access to a keyboard. Did put £3 in my sealed pot this morning too.

Have been food shopping today and have only bought cotton buds re toiletries.
