It's only colour coded to highlight where things are, I section things between what's in the house, what's in my handbag and what's at Jon's.
Otherwise, these are the headings:-

Checked? (For when I do a stock check, and yes, I do do them!)
Bought (I sort by spring/summer or autumn/winter and year, I used to do it another way but it got too complicated when I ran out of letters of the alphabet! :eek: :rotfl:)
(In case it's not clear, I LOVE spreadsheets!)
mine has a graph of INS vs OUTs so i know if i had positive or negative movement that month and a pie chart showing UU vs GA/TA! :rotfl: I'm trying to get my GA/TA levels down to 10% of what goes out, I'm on 28% atm and i think its really making me be more mindful of what comes in seeing the pie chart there with it on as its showing me I've spent my own money on stuff thats gone back out for someone else or in the bin! it has certainly
made me rethink some purchases.As we are in the last few days of the 7 by summer challenge does anyone fancy doing a 7 by autumn one? I'm going to think about my 7 items and post a list later. First day of autumn seems to be 22nd September so 3 months to finish 7 items.
im in for this again
I've got INs of my Love Lula box. bit boring this month but its all stuff that will at least get used eventually!
UU
White rabbit cleanser - WBA, i do like this for a proper clean
Elemis body lotion - WNBA unless it was in a set, the scent was a bit too cloying.
Dior foundation sample - Dior foundations were my HG but not cruelty free so on the hunt again!
Setche vite mini top coat - WNBA, this chips really badly!
elemis enzyme cleanser - got a full size of this in the stash. its too strong for everyday but good for a few times a week. this was on my 7 by summer too! :j
Espa MUR - WBA if in a set as its very good but very expensive for just MUR.0 -
A few bits and pieces UU from PP list for June
Elizabeth Arden blusher pink 04 5/41 Discontinued
45ml Ole Henriksen African Red Tea facial cleanser 6/42 Have another
20ml Elemis Pro radiance hand & nail cream 7/43 WBA if part of set
15ml Emma Hardie Amazing Face moisturiser 8/44 Have another
Lily Lolo eyeshadow duo, used the base colour, other colour (grey) too dark. 9/45 WNBA this colour combination, but love their products.
TA
Lancome mini eye shadow duo gwp, lid broken and discarded, product gathers dust if left out, or makes a mess if in drawer. 1/3The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
I have an in that I should have reported the other day but I have been busy with work:
The tube of Simple eye cream with the nozzle.
I have the other one with the rollerball, and after reading the packets of each to see what they do, what they contain etc. it makes sense to use the one with the rollerball for waking up my eye area in the morning, and the one with the nozzle at night time before bed.
Both of these items are in my stash for when I've used up my unnecessaries.0 -
Morning all
Another UU for me
L'Occitaine rose hand cream 30ml - WNBA liked the product and sunk in well but not too keen on the scent.As we are in the last few days of the 7 by summer challenge does anyone fancy doing a 7 by autumn one? I'm going to think about my 7 items and post a list later. First day of autumn seems to be 22nd September so 3 months to finish 7 items.
Yes please, count me in on this as I need to really focus on some items especially some that have been hanging around for a while.
Will most probably have a couple of In's later today as going to Boots to take a look at NYX.

I'd be up for that dolly.
Didn't manage to UU all my by summer challenge items.
I'm well down on the three remaining items but just not there yet.
Loads of pan visible on the blusher as is the paler eye shadow in the compact but the dark one still has lots in and the tester foundation is still going strong.SPC~12 ot 124

VALM - I may have been a tad optimistic when I said 7 items to finish - makeup is obviously intended to last a lifetime.
My 7 items are:
Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer - b/f from 7 by summer
Max Factor Cream Blush in Soft Pink - b/f from 7 by summer
Lancome Juicy Tube - mini GWP size
Korres Rose Tinted Lip Balm - the stick type one
Smashbox Photo Finish Eye Primer - sample size
Bobbi Brown Pale Pink Powder Blush - mini in a GWP palette
Urban Decay Double Ended Eye Liner - Zero/Corrupt - just want to finish Corrupt.
I think I will post a photo of them at the start.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

A couple of great products UU
63) Garnier Ultimate Blends Body Mythic Olive Nourishing lotion - amazing body lotion, but the bottle is very annoying. It is a pump one where the tube doesn't reach the bottom so it stops working whilst there is still lots of product left. Grrrr!
64) Calmurid Pro hand cream - this has made a huge difference to my dry patches and eczema.0 -

Yes I'm in again, will choose some items tomorrow. I haven't done as well as I would like in the 7 by summer challenge, but think I have 3 items that are so close to being uu that I may just count them as done for purposes of the challenge. The Blusher just has a tiny amount left on 2 edges of the pan hope to have this finnished within a week. The lipstick pencil has been sharpened as much as it can now, only a few uses left at most, and I'm sure the primer only has a couple of uses left.
Think for the autumn challenge I'll be concentrating on uu opi mini varnishes, eye shadows and some highlighers. On a positive note a couple more eye shaddows have hit pan, so will probably include these in the challenge and I have finished a lip gloss, so the makeup is getting uu despite my purchases.0 -
