Merry Christmas everyone! Wonder what lovely INs we will have tomorrow:j For me for now its a UU of Lush Oatifix so I have 5 pots ready for a free facemask when I go to the sales on Boxing Day:money:Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
How is it Christmas Eve?!
This is the only free half hour I have today so I thought I'd check in as I haven't been on for a while.
Had some UUs since last time:
9. Garnier Extra Gentle Micellar Wipes WDBA
10. Lush So White Bath Bomb WDBA
11-12. Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep sample x2 WDB
13. No7 Cleansing Wipes WBA
14. No7 Superlight Foundation WDBA
15. Collection Clear Mascara (use as brow gel) WDBA
I TA the remnants of a Lush Ultrabalm. I hadn't used it in a while and it appeared to have gone mouldy! It was nearly out of date anyway and I used about 80% of it.
Had some Ins too
8. Superdrug Optimum Birch Water Day Cream
9-10. REN Moroccan Rose Otto Shower Gels - My mum has developed a reaction to all her REN stuff and gave it all to me.
11-12. REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Creams
13. REN Moroccan Rose Otto Mini Body Cream
14. L’Oreal Elvive Detangler Spray - this was in £land and I love a spray conditioner/detangler.
15. Morphe 35F eyeshadow Palette
16. Wax Lyrical Winter Walk candle
17. Sainsburys Golden Myrrh and Amber candle
I've decided to tot up my totals for the year now.
I started the year with a stash of 542.
My totals were:
IN 361 :eek:
UU 273
GA 127
TA 45
Sold 16
Ending now on 442! I'm down by exactly 100!
I'm pleased overall even though I know the stash total will go up with presents and sales purchases but I'm looking forward to starting again in January.
Merry Christmas everyone!!xxx

UU
Dove Go Fresh Anti-Perspirant 35ml - This was a travel size from holiday I was finishing off. It smelled like pomegranate. I quite liked it so would definitely buy full size.
GA
Co-operative Tea Tree and Mint Fragranced Conditioner 300ml - I gave this to my mum as it wasn't effective on my thick hair but it worked on her finer hair. WNBA.

I'll try my best not to overindulge in the January sales. I'm pretty pleased because I've not been tempted to buy myself any toiletries from Christmas gift ranges yet. I actually saw a lot that I saw last year so I wasn't as interested as I thought I would be.
That's my shower gel collection increased even further now though. I've counted 8 mini (approx 50ml sizes) in my stash before and Christmas takes it up to 11. I reckon those mini ones will get me through some months to come.I feel so blessed though and will enjoy these giftsNo Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2019 Total UU since 2016 - 396 | Total February UU - 10 -
