    I haven't joined in this thread before, as I don't really have a stash, as such.

    However, I am consiously trying to use up stuff before I buy replacements, other than our day-to-day products where I do buy one as we empty one (always got a spare)
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    Welcome Sea Shell.

    catherine - where I live the water company has put ads all over the buses saying 'flushable wipes block pipes' and that's before you find out that they have plastic in them and have to be removed at the sewage plants - shocking things.

    One UU today:

    Origins Mega Mushroom Relief & Resilience Soothing Treatment Lotion sample WNB. This did nothing for me and it smells weird. Glad I managed to get a sample of it. It underwhelmed me.

    2 UUs this weekend

    LUSH Dirty shave cream. Will be using shower gel to shave with for now. I only tend to shop at LUSH when we visit the Trafford Centre and that’s not very often anymore.

    Small bottle of body wash that was a hotel freebie. Smelt very pleasant. I have a small amount of the conditioner left which I’m taking to Prague with me.
    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!

    London baby most flushable wipes are not actually flushable so watch out./QUOTE]

    Yes, I never flush them. Dispose of them in the general waste.

    UUs:

    Yves Rocher lavender 24h anti-perspirant roll-on: WBA, next time I'm in France. Gentle on skin.

    Here we go again for another month. As usual this initial post has been shamelessly copied from the many previous months. A big thank you to, er me, sstevo19 for starting us off last month.


    :rotfl:


    I have a UU as well: Garnier SkinActive Botanical Day Cream with Aloe Extract. WIBA? It was given to me by a friend who bought it but found that it didn't suit her skin. It's fine. A tiny bit thick, but not much.
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    My progress this month has stagnated a bit. Fingers crossed, I may have an item finished tonight or tomorrow.

    3 more UUS: Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara. The formula was good but it smelt strongly so would not repurchase.


    ELF concealer. I asked Emma to buy this for me and she got me this one not the Camo Cover one. Prefer the Camo Cover and have repurchased this today.


    Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. New HG. Replacement ready.
