    15 The Ordinary Moisturiser sample was nice enough but didn't do any more than the Lacura Q10 one that I'm using.



    I purchased some cotton wool pads yesterday as I only have a few left.

    Slowly, slowly working my way through my excesses on skincare. I also uncovered a stash of small lotion bottles I'd obviously acquired from hotel stays - I'm also using these up but haven't added them to the list. I think I have now found everything and, on a positive note, the list is shrinking!

    [STRIKE]Estee Lauder White Linen Perfumed Body Lotion 75ml [/STRIKE]
    Chloe Body Lotion 100ml x 2
    Crabtree & Evelyn Aloe Vera Hydrating Body Cream 100g
    [STRIKE]Crabtree & Evelyn Aloe Vera Body Lotion 50ml[/STRIKE]
    Boots Fresh Strawberry Delight Body Cream 140ml
    [STRIKE]Bayliss & Harding Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Body Lotion 200ml[/STRIKE]
    Yardley Lavender Spa Enriching Body Lotion 200ml
    [STRIKE]Nivea Visage DNA Cell Renewal 3 x 1.5ml sachet (day; night; eye cream)[/STRIKE]
    Molton Brown Vitamin Lipsaver
    Estee Lauder Daywear Plus 7ml
    [STRIKE]Dermalogica Daily Superfoliant sachet x 2[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Nivea Visage Anti Wrinkle Q10 Eye Zone Creme 15ml[/STRIKE]
    L'Oreal Age Perfect Reinforcing Rehydration Day Creme 50ml
    [STRIKE]Clinique Stop Signs Visible Anti Aging Serum 30ml [/STRIKE]
    Coryse Salome Competence Anti Age Renaissance 50ml
    Decleor Aroma Confort Moisturising Body Milk 50ml
    Decleor Aurabsolu Intense Glow Awakening Cream 15ml
    Decleor Aromessence Neroli Amara Hydrating Oil Serum 5ml
    No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Day Cream 50ml
    No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Night Cream 50ml
    No7 Beautiful Skin Hydrating Mask 100ml
    No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Eye Cream 15ml
    No7 Protect & Perfect Lip Care 10ml.

    Everything struck through has been UU apart from the clinique (TA). I'm slowly getting there. One thing I have discovered is that I find the face creams rather heavy.

    I've given up on bringing these home. We stayed at the Hilton York at weekend and whilst there's were lovely (Crabtree and Evelyn) I used what I wanted and left the rest.

    rosy10 that's not a lot of stuff at all! I used to have a spreadsheet, still do somewhere, although not 100% up to date by now, and I used to be just under 200 items (without makeup!)

    kadison I'll balance you out too - right now I just CANNOT WAIT for all my bottles, potions and tubs to disappear, one by one, I think this year will be basically a buy-nothing year for me, and I am looking forward to it.

    kadison - you can stay for me, I don't think we are all that strict on this thread, not like some I see on here. I can balance you out a bit as I have bought nothing at all this month and last month only spent a few pounds.

    Ooo well done!

    These are sort of 'non' INs, in that they were already in my stash yet not on my spreadsheet for some reason and won't be on my stash list on here....

    Dentyl Mouthwash 500ml - Smooth Mint
    Elemis Pro Radiance Cream Cleanser 30ml
    Johnson's Baby Oil 250ml - Aloe Vera
    No7 Revitalising Cleansing Wipes x 30

    This is an IN though, £4.50 with the No7 voucher

    No7 Radiant Results Purifying Foaming Cleanser 150ml

    I think I may be a little behind with my list:-


    [STRIKE]No 7 Cuticle and Nail Cream[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Nivea Deodorant [/STRIKE]
    Cremo Shave Cream
    [STRIKE] Atelier Cologne perfume 8 samples[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Lacura hot cloth cleanser [/STRIKE]
    Lacura “Flash Balm” copy
    Bare Minerals Good Hydrations Primer
    Inepto Coconut Cream Body Lotion
    [STRIKE]ABC Body Lotion[/STRIKE]
    Nivea SPF for face


    Everything except the shave cream is feeling like it's capable of being finished this month.


    16 Liz Earle Orange Flower Hand Repair Actually enjoyed this more than I used to. Have the Leighton Denny Hand Rescue to use next.

    Ninth Anniversary 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    A few INs today:

    Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser 15ml
    Pixi Rose Cream Cleanser 15ml
    Pixi Rose Tonic 40ml
    Pixi Rose Flash Balm 15ml


    I ordered this on February 1st and it's taken this long to get my order. I want to try a few Pixi products but if I wanted to buy from them again, I might use a retailer and not go directly to them.

    I am definitely trying to do as much of a buy nothing year but it's motivating to see other people use stuff up for sure.

    That said my friend gave me a korean sheet mask today the english part says: Edge Cutimal Duck Soothing Mask, will save it for the weekend if I can.

    UU Lush Golden Wonder Bath Bomb this weekend. I forgot how colourful it turns out, WDBA.

    Happy belated birthday VALM.

    I have UU'ed a sachet of Redken Heatcure and it left my hair so soft and lovely that I might purchase the full-size at some point. This was from a beauty box.

    Also UU - TBS Vitamin C Skin Reviver. This is amazing as a make up primer but I'm unsure if it does much for my skin. It gives a good glow but it doesn't really last long. I bought it a while back from reduced shelf and I'm not sure I would like to pay full price for essentially a make-up primer. Mabye when there is an offer.

    Beauty Pie - Japanfusion Cream Cleanser. Lush and will repurchase. Glides over the skin and effectively removes make-up (i don't wear very heavy make-up, just foundation & concealer and some blush) and doesn't feel tight.

    Nip+Fab Glycolic Pads - Travel Size. Good for travelling - I use these instead of toner and have more in stash.

    I'm out of shampoo and need to buy some. I also listed couple of things on Ebay and one of them has a bid already.
