    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

  • Hello :wave:
    I'm coming back to this thread after stepping off in Feb to have a baby. She's lovely, but my toiletries habit hasn't stopped.
    I didn't buy as many beauty boxes this year, but I've got 2 advent calendars, again.:o
    I was given lots of smellies as new mum gifts and that combined with OH being away a lot and bringin back hotel shampoo and shower gel, means we are getting overwhelmed again. I need to do a proper inventory but ill just post my use ups for now.
    I've got a look fantastic advent and you beauty advent but I won't poSt the daily ins in case it's a spoiler for someone.

    First uu of the month:

    Lush pearl massage bar- WBA and already got another stashed. Love the rose jam scent and softens the skin well. Im not keen on the pink bits though as they scratch, but i can live with it for the smell.

    First UU:

    Superdrug Moisturising Little Blue Stick lip balm - WDBA, and already have one waiting to be used. It only had a few uses left and I managed to finish it last night. I use it every night before I go to sleep, very hydrating.
  • Hello ladies and thank you for the new thread Deleted_User.

    I am back in again. I would like to UU 10 full size items in December and 10 samples. I have the L'occitane advent calendar so lots of sample sized INs to enjoy.

    Last December I declared myself "off my no-buy" and spent £88. Looking through the list, I still have all but one of those items in the stash. Must behave this year!

    YTD I have UU'd 123 items and acquired 108 INs. Aiming to end up down overall at the end of the year (even if I end up having to have an emergency bath on New Year's Eve).
