I can't remember which forum member has a thing for highlighters but Emma has this thing also! . . . it looked glowy and bright but so would anyone with four different ones applied!

Possibly me - I have a million highlighters (well, about eight). Have got my eye on the Mary Loumanizer though!

gemmajenkins - not to worry - despite showering every day and wearing *lots* of makeup, literally the only thing I have UU in April is a bar of soap. A little, hotel bathroom sized bar of soap. :mad:

Plus a colleague sat on my lipstick (how?) and snapped the tube so that is a TA. (It probably needed TA anyway so I wasn't too cross)

Plus I have INs:
Nuxe lip balm which was necessary (well, lip balm was necessary as I'm on my last one though such an extravagant one was not
2 conditioners and one shampoo, the Garnier Olive Oil ones, which I bought just because Boots gave me a 200 points voucher for points and they were bargains - but I did not need so they are now sitting reproachfully in the stash

Oh well! May has lots of weekends away with potential for collecting and UU'ing minis!

I watched a You Tube video yesterday of a highlihter declutter. She had way more than 8 (so don't feel too bad) but only ended up parting with 2 which were both drugstore ones. She did say she wouldn't buy anymore as they would last a lifetime. Looking at her collection though I can see how anyone could get carried away with them cos there are so many different variants - it just doesn't help that they can be an expensive purchase.

I have a couple of Nuxe moisturisers in my stash. Do you rate the brand and have anything else?

Morning all
Welcome to all the new cosmetic declutterers
I hope everyone is well
UU a tube of B&H hand and body lotion this morning,melt very watery and not at all moisturising. I have loads more hand & body creams and lotions in the stash so it certainly doesn't need repurchasing yet.

This is my first Nuxe purchase. It is very, very nice though quite heavy, and I think that may be true of most of the range. Boots had a free gift when you spent more than £35 which is what initially drew me in, but I definitely don't need any more skincare for a bit, and I prefer something fairly light through the summer.

Been on here for 2 whole weeks now! And all I have to show for it as for no buying unneccesary toiletries is a UU'ed toothpaste!

As for in general though between me, my family and my bf we have used up quite a lot of tins of food and things from the freezers!

There is one particular moisturiser that I really want to use up, but it's in a pot and as I have my nails done and I have them a bit longer I absolutely despise getting stuff under them! Can anyone recommend something I can use to 'scoop' it out perhaps to save my nails?

Also, is it just me or if anyone here has, like, more than 1 or 2 of the same item, say 3 or 4, do you line them up in order of when they were bought so that you use them up in the correct order so to speak thus minimising the chance of anything going bad? I have 5 shower gels(2 of which are the same brand just different scents so they are side by side as I alternate between them) which are lined up in order of when I got them, the oldest which needs using up are closest to me while stood in the shower then the newer ones behind in order of when I bought them going back to the wall.

^^^ That sound very OCD now I've put it down in writing! :rotfl:

Do you have a spatula of some kind? Like the ones that are contained in hair removal kits?

Yes, I try to use items up in order of age. I think the category that I have a glut of at the momenta are moisturisers. I won't use them as day creams though as I love my PCMC for day time use so have quite a few lined up as night creams.
