I've been absent for quite a while too
but I'd love to also rejoin!
I've not been awful - generally using up a little more than I buy, but I've moved recently, and packing and unpacking has made me realise how much I still have.
And I've definitely slipped on using products as much as I should, and sometimes saving things for 'best', rather than enjoying them now.
So please help keep me on track and looking after myself0 -
Thanks for the new thread sstevo. I'm in.

I am in although I go on holiday on Sunday to the US so will have a stash of minis to take with me and there will be haulage!
PP list
Carried over:-
Murad toner
LUSH Dirty shave cream
Aussie shampoo
Boots Extracts Coconut body wash
Elemis PCMC SPF
ABC body lotion
Neutrogena Hydroboost eye cream
ABC skinwash
Nivea deodorant
Bath & Body Works mint handcream
I am hopeful of getting through a lot of these. The toner, shave cream and PCMC are nearly done. The body lotion bottle has been cut open. I need to scrunch up the eye cream tube to get product out. The Aussie shampoo has been left by Emma and feels very light. The Boots body wash tube is feeling light. We are also using this as handwash in the bathroom too.
If there is any toner and ABC skinwash left I'll take these away with me (the toner has been decanted already into a spray bottle and I'll decant the remainder of the 1000L skinwash into another travel bottle (which I need to buy). I think I'll buy a spare deodorant to take instead of this one so that I don't have to buy one over there.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!

Hello - I'm in too
I'm hoping for a no INs month (exception is LF beauty box).
First UU of the month is Estee Lauder Double Wear Light in Ecru. This was the first tube I UU'ed and I generally like this. However, sometimes when my skin is on the dry side, it doesn't look as good. Colour is a good match and it stays on my face through the day. However, customers who used the old formula doesn't seem to be happy with the new one. I have another tube to go through. First one took me around 2 months to UU with everyday usage so I will see how this goes in the winter time and I might hunt for a replacement. I am yet to find my HG foundation.ally.0 -
morning all
2UU from work trip thi sweek - UU Garnier three in one wash sample - WNBA was OK, easy for travel but nothing special.
UU Garnier Ultra lift tissue mark - WDBA, this is the 3rd of their sheet masks I have used (all from Home B*rgins) and I really think they are lovely, again easy to travel with and skin feels really nourished after use.
