    Thank you for the new thread :)

    First UU of the month is Origins Original Skin Renewal Serum 50ml. I bought this from reduced to clear shelf a while back and love using it. Not sure about paying full price though as it felt like any other serum on my skin after using. WMBA at some point.

    TA - Origins Anti-Aging Facial Wash 30ml. This has been open for a long time and was from an LF beauty box. It has an odd smell so I think it has gone off.
    ally.

    sstevo thank you for the new thread, I need to be in for another month,

    My PP list for November
    125ml Tata Harper Nourishing Oil Cleanser £66
    100ml Emma Hardie Moringa Balm £47
    Clinique mascara GWP size
    70ml MV Gentle Cream Cleanser £39
    10ml Balance Me facial oil
    15ml? Perfume by Judith Muller (no label).
    30ml Alpha-H Protection Plus spf 50 day cream
    30ml Pestle & Mortar Superstar Retinol Night Oil £66
    Colgate Expert Complete toothpaste
    15ml Olay Pro Retinol Eye Treatment
    10ml Clarins Vital Light /serum

    Confession time:o I have been guilty of "having to buy" special offers and things that others have loved, I have had a few years of feeling pretty poorly and having to be at home rather than out and about and treated myself to nice things as a compensation:( At last treatments have kicked in and I want to sort out my home and stop relying on buying things for a boost. Cue my creating a spread sheet and finding that I have 117 items of toiletries (excluding bath and body, hair care and dental).

    So onwards and downwards, from now on I have a real number to work to, when things are stored in various locations it has been easy to not register just how much I have. No judgement being made of other's stashes, this is just to motivate me through the long winter to come.

    I have a morning to myself, a pampering session is on the cards:D:D

  • 1 UU

    Lucy Mecklenburgh Refreshing Body Wash- WDBA, this was part of a present from a friend. It smells very refreshing and I still have the body lotion and body spray to use!

    Stash total is 143
    Less is the new more :D
  • First UU for a month:

    Mytrusty Sunflower face & body oil, WMBA and I am using the other one in stash. A little goes a long way and moisturises the skin without being too greasy. Profits also go to the NHS.
  • INs from my Aveda order:

    Cherry Almond Shampoo
    Cherry Almond Conditioner
    Damage Remedy treatment
    Volume Tonic
    Cherry Almond Sample duo
    Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN
  • A UU this afternoon

    No 7 Protect and Perfect Intense Hand Cream - Nice but takes a while to soak up so probably won’t use again.

    Stash total is 142
    Less is the new more :D
