    Hi
    I am new to this thread and to the website in general so bear with me! This is an awesome concept and I aim to get rid of 88 items by the end of the year!!
    My current PP:
    Viviscal hair and scalp serum WNBA it made very little difference to the volume of my hair.
    INECTO leave in conditioner
    Botanics clay conditioning mask
    Alpecin caffine shampoo WNBA seems to give my hair volume by turning it into a birds nest
    Massive bottle of E45 moisturizer
    Ted baker body scrub WBA it seems to moisturise as well as scrub
    James Brown intensive moisture mask cant tell if this works due to birds nest shampoo.
    Do I really need it? Probably not.:A

    Hi all, happy new year! I will be back in this year :) my total to start 2016 is 94! I have achieved my aim of getting below 100 which I am very pleased about. I am aiming for a no spend January as there is nothing I need.

    Valm- thank you for the challenge of using up a lip product last month, I used up a Lush popcorn lip scrub. I will be taking part in the 6 before spring challenge, I will have a look through my makeup and decide what to list.

    My total uu for Secember was 42, not sure I will get through that many this month but will try :P

    Welcome to all the newbies, this is a great thread with lots of lovely ladies :D
    No buying unnecessary toiletries!

    Thanks for starting us off again, Deleted_User :)

    Happy New Year to everyone! _party_

    I'm feeling really determined to do well with the challenge this year. Like Hermia, I'm pretty excited about it :rotfl: So far I've stuck to my no buying toiletries/cosmetics in the sales pledge. I *did* buy a mini Village England handbag though, which wasn't planned for. It was on my wishlist but I didn't ever think I'd actually buy it! I spotted it at 70% off today, so jumped at the chance. :j (It's rare that I buy bags but I was hoping to buy nothing at all...) I still need to list my Christmas INs...

    VALM - I'd love to join in with Finish 6 By Spring but haven't chosen anything yet.

    WELCOME to all the newbies and BEST OF LUCK to everyone in 2016 :D

    My Christmas present INs (I was very lucky :))

    L'Occitane Jasmin Immortelle Neroli gift set

    (75ml perfume, 250ml body lotion, 50ml shower gel and a 50g soap


    RITUALS Ayurveda Collection Gift Set

    200ml Yogi Flow Foaming Shower Gel Sensation

    125g Himalaya Purifying Salt Scrub

    70ml Honey Touch Rich & Nourishing Body Cream

    200ml Shanti Soothing Shower Oil.


    Clarins Water Comfort One-Step Cleanser with Peach Essential Water (200ml)

    I'm trying to decide if I should hold back the Rituals set as a summer treat or just enjoy it now whilst it's really exciting. :rotfl:

    First 2 UU of the year :-

    Sample of Benefit Air Patrol. This was a lovely product to apply however did not deal with my eyelid discolouration as well as Lemon Aid so WNB.

    Avon Eyebrow Glimmerstick.i have owned this for years and have come to realise that it works best when my brows are already well shaped. I have a NYX kit that I bought on holiday that I will try to get on with - will try a different brush and then maybe go back to the Glimmerstick. I did used to love Smashbox Brow Tech but they discontinued it in the pot.
    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!

  • Welcome to all of our newcomers! :)

    One UU today:

    Tresemme Breakage Defence Treatment Mask 500ml: Nice scent but wasn't outstanding in making my hair soft. WMBA.


    DH and I are going up to Norfolk next week to see the Grey seals and their pups so that will give me an excuse to use up some of my travel size products!
  • finished up rose water toner, nuxe moisturiser. i got the stash down from a crate to a shoe box and a few on display.

    currently the lancome glowing primer thingy is nearly finished and one max fax factor under eye are nearly finished. it's declining albeit slowly.

    i got some max factor juicy tube type lip balm- they stink, seriously, i hate throwing out items but they are rotten (they were a gift)
