I hope 50 is a typo! Or are you planning on having 1000 baths this month!

Yes I plan to UU 50 times, I managed 75 in January and that did not include things I gave away. I do use a lot of single use items such as bath bombs, melts, sheet masks. I have quite a few splutterers and have quite a few hotel freebies I need to use up as they are nearly 2 years old. I know it seems a lot to many, skincare lasts me a while but again I use a 10 step routine so do get through quite a lot even though some products with daily use will last me 6 months plus.

I would love to join this, I totally NEED to join this

I think I have been mistakenly worried that the shops might run out so need to store everything they sell in my home!

Most recent example is when superdrug reduced impulses from £1.99 to 97p I bought 21 of them. :eek:

I read the Marie Kondo book and was inspired to clear out a lot of products that were almost finished (and being ignored) but that made me realise how many products I had that were unused or part used.

I am a sucker for new products to the point that I currently have 5 different hand creams, 5 different body moisturisers/butters, 7 shower gels and 6 shampoos on the go at the same time!

I am determined not to buy any more stuff until everything else (of that genre) is finished. If I can manage that I should be able to spend hardly anything this month and hopefully for a few months yet.

Welcome to the thread, you are in good company.

VALM - I find with all nail polish that there is an amount in the bottom that the brush just won't reach - it is very annoying.

I have my first uu

Body Shop Vanilla Brulee EDT 30ml - I liked this although it wasn't long lasting when worn. WMBA.

I am going to go on a no buy for February. I do have an Avon order coming of 4 items but that was ordered January so there is nothing I can do about that but I won't order from the new book.

My monthly makeup basket for February:

Bare mineral Prime Time Primer/Elemis Pro Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm

No7 Crème Touch Powder
Benefit Benetint
Body Shop Eyebrow Pencil/Maybelline Brow Drama
S&G It’s about prime/Smashbox Photofinish primer (eyes)
Laura Mercier Daring by Day palette/MAC cork/Natural Collection Milk Chocolate (the two single eyeshadows are matt and for blending out my crease.

Bobbi Brown Chocolate Eye Liner (this tiny pencil is going to last the rest of my life seemingly)

Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara
Body Shop Delipcious Lipstick in a sheer plum colour topped with Model Co Sweet Berry lipgloss

Just a quick post before I go out to the Bank to pot all the money I saved in my sealed pot. L'occitane have an offer online today only that you get free delivery if you buy any hand cream. I was intending to buy one as a gift for a friend at work's birthday in Feb anyway so have ordered one. I also put the liquid soap we use in the basket and the free gift and both have gone through with free delivery. Just worth it if anyone has anything else they want or indeed want a hand cream.

1 GA also, lush rub rub rub scrub 130g I am a kind sister and my brother wanted it so I let him have it as it amused me somewhat. He borrowed my bigger pot in the shower today and commented that it was a lovely face scrub. I did explain its not really a face scrub as such it's more for your body and it's a bit perfumed for the face ( and a bit girly scented generally) but he says he rather likes the smell of it and his face has never felt softer :rotfl: so whatever makes him happy I personally don't use it on my face. i have told him I will get him some bits from lush for his birthday they must do bits for men :rotfl:.

My OH also uses rub rub rub for his face - must be a male thing! :rotfl:

Have another moment so will post my UU from my Finish 6 by Spring:-

No 7 Highlighter. I don't know the full proper name for this but it's the one that has a big brush applicator on the end. Would buy again if they change the applicator. Have a Seventeen one to use up next.

And yesterday MRM managed to prize open the Tarte foundation. There is a good sized pool in the bottom. Will be intersting to see how long this lasts.

Catch you all later.x

Thanks Dolly. I'm back from holidays and finally starting to catch up. Hope all are well. Count me in again, I fell off the wagon slightly in the sales.


Back later to post my January INs and UUs and my February PP.
