I am happy to announce a UU:

Baylis & Harding rose, ylang ylang and patchouli moisturising body butter.

Good riddance!!!

Well done on using it up and not giving up on it. I have a Baylis & Harding kit in my wardrobe but think I may try and Ebay it. Got an offer for 100 free listings so must get cracking on putting more stuff on there.

No UUs for me just yet. I was however spraying my new perfume at work earlier and suddenly thought it smelt reminscent of something .... Mr Sheen! Oh dear. Could have saved myself some cash there. :rotfl:

2 UU to report just now:

Clearasil blemish + marks wash scrub- WNBA didn't like the smell, how hard it was to squeeze out of the tube or the fact that if I put it anywhere above my lower cheek my eyes stung (even though it wasn't in or particularly close to them!).

TBS Argan oil body butter 50ml- WBA smells nice and was a good consistency, nice and thick. I get through these smaller pots quite quickly though.

Some ins also that arrived:

Lush happy blooming shower jelly
Lush snow fairy shower gel 250g
Lush it's raining men shower cream 250g
I love...gingerbread body spritz
I love...mango & papaya body spritz
I love... Mango & papaya body butter 200ml
I love... Mango & papaya hand wash
I love... Coconut & cream hand wash
Bath & body works white citrus hand cream 59ml

So x 9 in

Thank you VALM

It was actually pretty soul destroying using it as I hated it so much haha! But my feet haven't felt this soft in a long time!

I came across a Burts Bees hand cream I'd forgotten about in a corner of the bedroom. Really thick and milky, not that pleasant on my hands, tbh, but it is making a great foot cream. Just approx 40 ml so it won't last long. Very little gets thrown away with me!

Finally, have UUed the Seventeen Wow Highlighting Primer. WNBA I don't think (mind you I inherited this from Emma). Have a few highlighters to get through before repurchasing any (though I am seriously lemming the Laura Geller Baked Gelato Gilded Honey one). Next one to UU will be my bottle of Benefit Sun Beam which I've owned for years and don't know how much is left.

Hello lovely people, I would like to join the challenge for May I've been tracking my empties for a few years now (and am a longtime lurker of this thread!) but I want to make a conscious effort to not buy anything unnecessary, and I enjoy your chats re: products

My aim is to use up 150 products in 2016, and I am at 53 so far. I did have a total count of all my products once upon a time, but that list is long outdated now. Maybe if I get some spare time I will do another one....:o

I have a few splutterers, so hopefully I'll have some more UU to report soon!

A few UU to add to my total. Hopefully the rest of the stubborn stash will also start to go soon:

Herbal Essences Clearly Naked Volume Conditioner 400ml - WDBA. I really like this conditioner, love the scent and it works very well on my thick wiry hair and makes it much softer. I'm tempted to replace it right away but I better get through at least a few others in the stash. The next targets are 2 smaller Herbal Essences conditioners.
Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturiser 10ml sample - I was pleasantly surprised with this as it did a much better job than I imagined in making my skin soft after a shower. I would consider buying this full size and using perhaps for swimming (would be a whole lot easier than fumbling around with a lotion). I'll stick with the stash for now though.

Update - Lush Shower Cream is still going strong but it's looking like I'll finish it within a week. I'm also hoping to use up the Zoella body lotion soon as I have been applying it every day before work.

Well done on your progress so far and welcome to the thread.

I have another two OUTs. It's my workmate's birthday this weekend so gave her an Elemis Frangipani shower creme and body lotion to supplement the gift card I also got her.

Welcome ChicaBonita.

Valm - what perfume is it you are using? I like the smell of furniture polish but on my furniture mainly:rotfl:

I have some uu's

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish - this was a regular full sized one, WBA and have loads in the stash. I do find I still need a separate eye make up remover with this though.

Body Shop Ginger Sparkle Shower Gel 250ml - WBA

Nice going ChicaBonita! I'm planning on getting the make up and beauty inventory thread going over the weekend, so maybe that will help you.

Most of the things I'm using up are make up, so it's taking a l-o-n-g time. zzzzzzz
