I have 3 UUs:-


Bath and Body Works Nourishing Pumpkin Cupcake handwash. Really prefer these nourishing ones to the foaming ones. Alas I now have all foaming ones in my stash. Have replaced this one with an Apple Pumpkin handwash. Do have four others in the stash. This one has taken two months to use so won't have to repurchase for a while.


ABC body lotion. Have another in stash to replace with. Love this product and will continue to repurchase, when needed.


Sample of Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme. This was nice. Don't usually like rose fragrance. Would not buy though.


Bought some cotton wool pads yesterday as I am nearly out of them.

OPI mini - I'm Not Really a Waitress
OPI full size Don't Pretzel My Buttons
[STRIKE]Lorac Pro Pink Mauve eyeshadow from mini Lorac Pro Matte palette
[/STRIKE]NARS Albatross highlighter
Bare Minerals Boss Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lip Colour
Laura Geller Balance N Brighten
Urban Decay Darkhorse eyeshadow from Naked 1 palette
No 7 GWP mini eyeshadow
Marc Jacobs Sonic Truth lipstick
Urban Decay Kinky Revolution High Colour lipgloss
NARS Orgasm blush


The frankenshadow has gone. Pleased that I could use these eyeshadows up this way. My Lorac Pro mini matte palette only has four colours left in it now so half used up.


Am hoping to at least finish the lipgloss by Christmas but don't think the other powders will be done. I have however totted up that I have used up 23 make up items over the year. I am intending to just count make up items that are non-staples (ie primer, foundation, concealer) next year for Finish 19 in 2019.

One IN from my advent calendar today:

The Body Shop British Rose Exfoliating Gel Body Scrub 50ml I do like a body scrub but I never really buy them. This smells so nice. I can't wait to use it

My PP list for December:

Aderma Sensifluid Cleansing Micellar Lotion 400ml
[STRIKE]Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner 180ml [/STRIKE]
Paula’s Choice Resist Advanced Replenishing Toner 118ml
Pureology Perfect 4 Platinum Shampoo 250ml
Pureology Strength Cure Conditioner 250ml

My updated PP list. The shampoo and conditioner are nearing the end, so they should be finished before the end of the month. And the micellar lotion should be as well. I may not finish the toner this month but I'm trying to. Since I can't use it on my face, I'm using it on my body before I apply body lotion and it really helps to hydrate my skin.

One UU tonight:

Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil 3ml sample WMB as a full size. This was nice and light. I've always been put off by Cleansing oils thinking they'll be too messy but this wasn't messy at all.

I finished simple micellar cleanser. It was nice and effective. However, I have a bottle of loreal and garnier to work through.

I finished a small sample of estee lauder serum, it is in the bin now and i can not recall the name. It did not made a huge impression on me.

I finally finished urban decay chopper. Five finished so far, I still have seven shades left but progress. It is a massive undertaking and seems silly to want to get as much use out of it as possible.

Well, it’s been years, but I’m back to clear my stash. Incidentally, much of my stash is the same as it was 4 years ago 😂

I’ve gotten much better at not buying, through kind of forced circumstances. I left my career as a lawyer (maybe I should update my username!) and went self employed 18 months ago. There’s been some lean months so I’ve been cutting back - there’s next to no stash of items like shower gel and shampoo, but more body lotion and skin products than you could shake a stick at!

I’m identifying products to UU first; lots of miniatures and part-used to hand!

Has anyone ever used baby shampoo on their own hair?

I've got some I bought when my son was younger and he's turning 7 next month :eek: I did think about giving it to my nephew to use when his baby is born early next year but am a bit worried as it's old. Obviously want to use it somehow and not let it go to waste and the only thing I can think of is using it myself.

I have used it, it's fine as a shampoo. I also sometimes use it to clean my make up brushes.
