    I'm not in this month:eek: I feel no need to buy anything and my replenished stash is disappearing quickly...I might possibly be cured:T Anyway life is busy busy at the mo so I cant keep up so I wont be around too much.

    Already had 3 UU though and will keep up with my list so I dont rebuy when I have 20 products already:)

    All my splutterers are still spluttering.

    I was intrigued by the prospect of a "60 second dry" for nail polish, so have one as an NBI, gave it a go - review here

    3 Revlon ColourSilk conditioner from hair dye kit WNBA. Hate the smell of this. Looking for alternative dye kit

    I have brought the last of hte LE hand cream to work with me. It must go today. Really disappointed by this and want it gone.
    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!

    4 Liz Earlier Hand Repair Lavender and Basil I have never had a hand cream some horrible. I think I'm going to email them. It just smelt of clay and nothing else and didn't absorb well. Very disappointed.

    hello all - in again this month please!

    Starting off with....
    OUT
    1: percy wonder balm - WDNBA, this has been a hard slog to finish as I just didn't see any benefit from it at all!
    2. Elemis toner - given to a friend as I have had it for ages and have no interest in using it
    3. Benefit Mascara - this is my HG, have an IN below to directly replace it, have no others in stash :)

    IN:
    1. Benefit mascara - direct replacement.

    Out: IN 3:1:)

    I'm not going to do a pp list this month, just concentrate on using up open items.

    Sstevo19 what is Skincare Exchange?

    It's a subreddit on Reddit where Skincare Addicts swap or sell unused or unwanted skincare items to other users instead of wasting the product or paying full price for something that might not work out.

    Hello Durham visitors! I live in Durham. It's a great place to visit, hope you enjoy it. It's not such a great place to live - too studenty in termtime, too empty in the holidays. I dream of moving to Birmingham :rotfl:

    UU: Original Source shower milk in sweet apple & vanilla - this was lovely!
    UU: Phil Smith shampoo - this was rubbish! Dried my hair out horribly.

    And a sort of IN. I had a Bobbi Brown blusher on my stash list but I hadn't seen it for years so I counted it as an OUT. Found it today under the spare room sofa. Boo!
