    2 UUs but only small:-

    Travel sized Creightons conditioner. WNBA. Need new conditioner.

    Sample of Chanel Gabrielle. WNBA. Smells similar to one I own already.

    Hoping to UU quite a few items this week.
    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!

    Finally getting round to writing down my UU, some of these from March as well

    Jack wills body spray, bought in xmas sales and was nice enough, have 2 more
    BS almond milk and honey handcream 30ml, WBA, quite a subtle scent which is sometimes quite nice in a handcream
    Nature republic tinted cc cream, WNBA, I'm certainly not going to Korea just to get more! Was a good foundation though
    Bare minerals mineral veil sample size, WNBA, didn't give me any amazing results compared to a cheaper powder
    And a miscellaneous pressed powder compact which all the label has rubbed off in my handbag

    Quite a few makeup UU for once, everything just finished all at once :-)

    I'm currently packing my bags for my holidays and everything fit in the first time. I have obviously forgot something essential!

    Hello laaaadies! :wave:

    I have two UUs:

    Mitchum Advance Control 48 Hour Deodorant Stick: WIBA? Yup - HG product.

    Voys Hand Crème: WIBA? Hmm...smelled nice and moisturised pretty well but it was very liquidy. I can't be sure if this is due to me having it so long it has gone off a bit or should have been like that anyway. A salutary lesson in having too many toiletries!
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    Finally one UU this month. Neutrogena hydro boost - WNBA, nice and light, bought on offer so cheap but prefer the la roche posay hydraphase range

    Not making much progress otherwise. Have decanted the remainder of Tata Harper cleanser into a travel size pump bottle as the packaging was driving me crazy and meant I have avoided using it. So hopefully will manage to use that up by end of the month or at least in May.

    Morning ladies....
    I have a question.
    What to do with your 'used once and never again items'?

    I have a bathroom overspill cupboard and and bathroom overspill cupboard overspill box, all of these I'll never use. But they are all still usable....

    Could you donate them? Places like women's refuge etc will often take partially used toiletries if there is a reasonable amount left and decent quality. Give and make up take them or somewhere local to you might take them directly.
    Selling on eb@y etc is also an option depending on exactly what you have in all the overspill piles.

    There are a few things, this place takes used stuff.....

    Otherwise go on facebook and search for 'Buy Nothing' then where you live, if you're in a large town it'll be the suburb you're in, it's all done by postcode so very local, you don't get the rudeness and timewasting you get elsewhere as a result.

    If stuff is new, contact your local women's refuge, foodbanks are often glad of toiletries as well but generally speaking they won't take anything used or opened, HTH.
