One UU this morning:
The Body Shop Almond Milk & Honey Body Butter 50ml WBA and may do in the future. This was very nice and absorbs quite quickly.0 -
I'm in as well! List as for January!
Thank you VALM for the Netflix recommendations
I'll have to squeeze in the viewing pronto as I won't continue with the service for longer than the free month; I was just curious about Marie Kondo because I'd read a number of articles about her.
I was like that last month with Amazon Prime as MRM got it on free trial for a month but then I got hooked on Sneaky Pete.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

I’m back. Last month was a bumper month for UUs so I expect this month to be slower. Updated lists
MSE 7 By Spring
Benefit Lemon Aid
Hourglass Dim Light powder
Marc Jacobs Sonic Truth mini lipstick
NARS Albatross
OPI I Theodora You
Urban Decay Darkhorse
I’m going to make a concerted effort to finish the lipstick and powder this month.
Project Pan February
Carried forward from January
No 7 Cuticle and Nail Cream
Nivea Deodorant
Cremo Shave Cream
Atelier Cologne perfume samples 3 left
Added
Lacura hit cloth cleanser
Lacura “Flash Balm” copy
Bare Minerals Good Hydrations Primer
Inepto Coconut Cream Body Lotion
ABC Body Lotion
Nivea SPF for face
Once the ABC Lotion is UU I will have none in my stash. I do have a bottle of oil though that I’ll try adding to a fragrance free body lotion. There is a TSV due on 12 February so will hold on for that to see if it includes body lotion.
First UU:-
1 Nivea Deodorant this is the one in a glass bottle. HG now.
My top 3 bottom 3 for January
Top
NARS Gilda blush
OPI Suzi and the arctic fox
Hourglass blush
The Gilda blush is gorgeous coral colour. The Polish looks black on application, blue and/or gray in other light. I used my new Hourglass palette last month and the coral blush is a great replacement for NARS Orgasm. Have rotated in Benefit Rockateur to use this month.
Bottom
Vaseline Body Lotion
Atelier Cologne Body Lotion
Est!e Lauder Quiet Riot lip lacquer
Had to throw away the Vaseline Body Lotion as it was too greasy. Also had to throw away the EL lip product because it transferred everywhere. The packaging on the Atelier Body Lotion was annoying.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

So, I’ve cleaned my bathroom and sorted through my makeup for this month. I am throwing away the ABh Contour palette that Emma decluttered. I’ve tried one of the powders but much prefer my Hourglass one and won’t use the Contour shades, I’m also throwing away the Doll 10 pomade that MRM gave me for Christmas. I’m miffed that he wouldn’t try to return it to QVC.
I’ve washed all my brushes and thrown away two Morphe brushes - a foundation brush and a blending brush (I think) as I know I never use them. I still have a lot of brushes and will keep rotating them.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

One TA from this morning:
Bumble and Bumble Thickening Go Big Treatment Spray sample 30ml WNB. This is just too heavy for my hair and doesn't really do anything.0 -
I'm back for this month too.
Bought a house recently that the previous owner left most of their belongings. OMG I thought I hoarded things, this really makes me want to declutter and get rid of everything I no longer need, including toiletries.:(Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -
Few very quick UUs
L’Or!al Micella water sample. It’s fine, good for getting the last bits of mascara off
Lush catastrophe cosmetic mask WNB unless I had a big breakout. I prefer the scrubbier versions of lush masks. I have loads of black pots so I will replace soon.
L’Or!al hydra genius sample: WPNB it sank in and felt nice but once I had make up on it didn’t feel right.
It’s my birthday Sunday and I’m debating going for a small lush haul of the valentines stuff...whilst I still have plenty bath bombs/bars my stash is probably about a quarter of what it used to be like0 -
I've sold a few items on Facebook, and I'll post them this afternoon.
So I have three OUTs today:
Hada Labo Goku-Jyun Premium Hyaluronic Acid Lotion 170ml
La Roche Posay Toleriane Ultra Fluide 40ml
Ultrasun Tinted Anti-Ageing Ivory SPF50+ 50ml
I didn't get along with these, so hopefully someone else will.0 -
UUs:
Einstein lip therapy with vitamin c beads - Given as part of a hen trip survival kit. WNB, very thin and watery, not mosturising at all. Will re-purpose packaging for other products.
Oral B satin silk floss - HG
No ins so far.0 -

I think Birthdays are a very good reason to treat yourself xxBack 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!
