I have such a large stash this year! It's all xmas pressies really so should count myself very lucky.
1 UU last night, Lush The comforter. As with all Lush stuff, I loved it, but don't really buy any of it for myself, I like getting it for xmas or birthdays to pamper myself.No more goo hoarding!

One UU today
10. Right guard xtreme relax hair and body shower gel. This is my saviour after work especially this week which has been quite stessful. I'm not sure if its sold but I have other shower gels to use up before I can get this.0 -
MRM has ordered a 6 month subscription to Birchbox for me and the January box has arrived today. Inside is :-
Benefit They're Real lash primer - excited about this
Eyeko fat liquid liner - again excited
Rituals Tai Chi foaming shower gel - not a fan of foaming things
Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle
Absolution cleansing water - hopeful that this is good at eye makeup removal.
Will go sit on naught step.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!

VALM if someone else bought it does it count? I know it doesn't help your stash go down but you weren't the one spending the money!
I have some UU to report
*Lush Toner Tab - used this as a facial steam. Didn't smell of anything but that might be because it's about two years old! Got one more to use up, tempted to try it as a toner mixed with water.
*Last of my Lush Yuzu bubble bar. Really liked this.
*Finished off a sample pot of Clinique Repairwear laser focus. WNBA - too heavy for me.
This challenge came just in time for me as the avon catalogue plopped through my door today! Poor avon ladyGrocery Challenge £114.22/ £1100 -
INs
Skin watchers AC clearing essence 30 ml
Skin watchers green snail intensive cream 50 ml
Cosrx low ph good morning gel cleanser 150 ml
Several samples but I don't really count these. All came in a lucky dip from as Korean skincare company with a missha BB cream ( don't count make up as don't stash it) which is what I wanted but could not resist all the above for £15 delivered, really good value and one of the above was on my wanted list.
UU's
55) sunny side bubble bar WMBA not a great fan of the glitter but the scent pairs well with the next item in a bath cocktail called the mermaid bath.
56) big blue bath ballistic WBA love the scent and the colour of the water, not a great fan of the seaweed left at the end. Using the bubble bar and bath bomb make the water shimmery blue.
57) nature republic sheet mask WNBA fits well but previous one have left my skin sticky but I tapped the product in and hey presto no sticky skin. Still have a lot of these left as they were cheap so I bought several boxes. I think I am under 20 of these so am making progress in UUing them.0 -
Purely cos in curious, how did you get hold of UD eyeshadow samples? I love the look of Space Cowboy.
I went to a couple of events UD were holding last year and the samples were in a goody bag. Its in a card along with some other samples. Lost my way for far too long but now back on board to lead a more simplistic lifestyle

GA buttercup yellow unbranded nail varnish because I have an identical colour in a brand I've tried and trust.
So now down to forty! Still no idea what is reasonable. I love to have a choice with nail varnish but can't wear it to work so will never use forty before they dry up. Will try one colour a week on my toes and hopefully will find some more to give away!
Don't feel bad I have 240.No buying toiletries challenge
