  • Haven't been on here recently. Been a bit frustrated at how slow the stash is going down.

    Two UU when sun was out
    Image Protection+ SPF 50 moisturiser - WMBA, liked the feel of this on, didn't feel like a suncream at all. It's expensive compared to ones from Boots etc but it is a reasonable size. If can get it on an offer probably will buy again.
    Clinique Face sunscreen SPF50 - was ok but WNBA

    In the meantime still have loads of suncream, now just need the nice weather to come back :rotfl:

    Also finished a standard Colgate toothpaste and a mouthwash so guess it could be worse.

    I have two uu

    Prada Candy Body Lotion 50ml - this came with the perfume. It was really nice actually, it sank in quickly and left a satin finish on the skin and was very strongly scented too.

    Embryollise Lait Creme Concentrate 75ml - WBA, this leaves my skin feeling comfortable, sinks in well, doesn't break me out and makeup goes on really well afterwards. It is in a metal tube too which is a plus - shame about the plastic cap though.

    Ninth Anniversary 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    A few INs today:

    Paula's Choice Resist Weightless Advanced Toner 118ml
    Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner 190ml
    Paula's Choice Resist Anti-Aging Eye Gel 5ml


    LookFantastic had 25% off for the first 250 customers this weekend to use a certain promo code, and the Eye Gel was a free gift for buying two Paula's Choice products. I've been bad. I'm going to be good and not buy anything until I need something and I have no back ups in my stash.

    One OUT this afternoon:

    First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads (28 pads)

    I sold this to someone on Instagram just for the postage as I don't get along with Glycolic acid which is one of the acids in this.

    So, I thought it would be interesting to recount my stash. This is all non-make up and nail products and not including items in use (I'll put the number of items previously recorded in January first followed by today's number:-

    Shower gels (including one soap) 14 full size now 4 (3 in use)
    6 travel sized and now 5
    I do have a box with some more travel sizes in but not sure if I will declutter as the packaging is hard to use.

    Body scrubs 3 now just 1 in use

    Lotions 5 now 2 with 2 in use

    Handcream 6 now 2 in use

    Handwash 4 now 1 with 2 in use

    Cleansers - my stock of wipes has increased to 4 with 1 in use but this is a staple I repurchase.
    Have 1 full sized evening Cleanser

    Toners 1.5 with 2 in use - the 1.5 is decanted part of Murad Toner.

    Moisturiser- all travel sized 7 with 1 in use and full sized in use. Again, I repurchase this as staple and have seen increase.

    Eyecream 2 both in use

    Dry shampoo 1 in stash 1 in use

    Shampoo 2 in use

    5 x LUSH bubble bars

    I have the following items in use with no back up :-
    Daytime Cleanser
    Eye make up remover
    Cotton pads
    Deodorant
    Serum
    Mask
    Conditioner

    Pretty pleased with progress.

    Welcome Robi90.

    VALM - your stash seems to be under control to me. Mine will be as soon as I get to a reasonable amount of shower gel, body lotion and conditioner, these are the only problem areas aside from makeup and I have stopped concerning myself about that, I don't really buy it anymore and I will just plough on with what I have.
