  • UU
    Clinique beyond perfect sample

    TA
    L’Oreal nude/brown lipstick
    L’Oreal light pink lipstick

    Both lipsticks were 90% finished but about 12 years old and showing signs of ageing!
  • Two INs today:

    Dr Haushka Rose Light Day Creme x 2. The 20% off M&S was too good not to take advantage off for my favourite winter moisturiser :D

    One UU tonight:

    Dentek Comfort Clean Floss Picks 60 count WDBA and have done. Great for the nights where I'm tired and can't be arsed to use proper Floss.

    I feel like I’ve had the mindset change to reduce my stash, really happy with progress, slow and steady.

    I need to do the same with my clothes and shoes now! Do you guys know if there is a similar thread to this for those?

    Thnx

    Since July - I have been clearing out slowly. I have sold few bits on Ebay, Vinted and Shpock. Made around £300. Some stuff went to charity shops. It feels better definitely.

    I haven't bought anything but not UU'ed anything either. I'm off to LA on Saturday and I might pick up a few things there. Not sure what is worth buying though.

    One UU this morning:

    Tresemme Heat Defence Styling Spray 300ml WMBA but well see. This is nice and cheap but I want to try something different. Replaced with the Bumble and Bumble Thickening Go Big Treatment spray and Styler Spray samples I have.

    Ren Rose Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser 150ml - 2 more of these in the stash and then I will have to buy cleanser, it won't be this one though, it just doesn't do a good enough job of dissolving my makeup.

    Please consider the environmental impact of these, floss is bad enough but these are terrible, all those bits of plastic will be with us forever.

    Thanks for sharing! Decluttering is contagious when you are making good progress. I used to have loads of shoes and have decluttered about a third this year. :o

    UU: Bath and Body Works Snowflakes and Cashmere Ultra Shea body lotion. Love everything about this. Have another in my stash to replace it with. Am half way through the corresponding shower gel.
    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!

  • Have UUd the Ouai memory mist - WDBA and have already got another in the stash to replace this one. This is pricey but it does seem to protect my hair when I straighten it and it does keep its shape for a couple of days if need be. This bottle lasted about a year, so quite happy with that!

    12 by Christmas list:
    1. Benefit goof proof travel size brow pencil
    2. Hourglass diffused light finishing powder in Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 2 - aim to hit pan
    3. Bare Minerals original foundation 8g
    4. Mac sable eyeshadow - aim to hit pan
    5. TBS aloe toner
    6. [STRIKE]The ordinary Glycolic toner [/STRIKE]Alpha H Liquid Rose Gold 100ml
    7. Banila Co Clean it Zero balm cleanser
    8. [STRIKE]Ouai Memory Mist[/STRIKE]
    9. The ordinary argan oil
    10. Pureology Colour Fanatic mist
    11. L'oreal coconut hair mask
    12. 12 x 1-2ml perfume samples (a challenge within the challenge!) will still leave me with 20 of this size in the stash.
