    Hello all.
    I used to post a while back, but fell off the no spending wagon and then lost my log in :( .

    Found myself getting far too excited about hitting pan on an eyeshadow a week or so back and no one else found it half as exciting as I did - so I'm now back seeking other like minded folk, with a new account and a list as long as my arm of products to use up!

    UU this weekend: Urban Decay Brow Beater, Aveda Shampure travel size and mini conditioner from a hotel stay.
    INs: Pureology strength cure gift set - really struggling not to buy all the beauty gift sets in the shops at the moment!

    Welcome back. I know what you mean. No one at work "gets" how excited I am about make up etc. They also think it's weird that I will cut containers open to get every last drop out.
    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!

    Another two UU's:

    Waitrose Pure Cleansing Wash WMBA - bought this when it was on offer for £1. Nothing special but didn't irritate my sensitive skin and used in the shower in the morning.

    Pro Formula Radiance Cleanser - WNBA - Nothing special. Creamy formula which worked fine to remove my eye make up but wouldn't use as a face cleanser as think it would block my pores / not clean as well as I need!

    Does anyone use Liz Earle Eyebright to remove eye make up / mascara? I have one in my stash and wondering how to use it up.

    Eyebright didn't work for make up removal for me. I know maddiemay enjoys this product though. You've reminded me that I have a bottle of this that I need to sell. Must get it posted up on FB.

    Final post honestly!

    3 UUs:-

    10ml L'Occitane almond hand cream. WDNBA. I like other almond products but this smelt too strongly on my hands.

    2 X Yankee wax tarts : Turquoise Sky (burnt in bathroom) and All is Bright (burnt in hall). Like them both. Might repurchase but have a stack of tarts to get through. Have replaced these with Lemon Lavender and Sparkling Cinnamon.

    sophie - I used my bottle of Eyebright as a toner in the end and it worked fine. The ingredients were very similar to her skin tonic.

    Repainted my nails last night with No7 Me, Me, Me. A not very seasonal bright pink.

    I used to use this a long way back, but it now brings me out in sore patches, hence I rarely take advantage of their special offer bundles either on website or QVC, they nearly always include one.:eek: I did used to like Homeopathic eyebright when my eyes were tired drom screen work or driving though.

    Not weird entirely sensible, you usually get a minimum of 2 more uses!
  • I have a small UU - Nivea eye makeup remover. WBA as didn't hurt eyes and wasn't too oily, however felt it didn't last that long.

    My claudalie hand cream mini GWP nearly used up.

    Forgot I had a body scrub all along! Sister gave me lush Rub Rub a while back.
