I believe in you re the remaining 8. Are there any items you can Multitask to use quicker? Let us know what items you have. Might be able to make suggestions.

Thanks VALM, unfortunately my aim to post more regularly in December didn't quite happen, between the norovirus :eek:, returning to work after a back injury, Christmas stuff etc, but the good news is I completed my challenge!:j

The items used up were
1. Sure Invisible A/P 150ml (68)
2. Crazy colour changing bubble bath (300ml) (69)
3. Spiced orange handwash (500ml)(70)
4. Strawberry Get fizzy bath bomb (71)
5. Colour effects shampoo (72)
6. Mini Duck Island Conditioner 37ml (73)
7. Coconut Get fizzy bath bomb (74)
8. Listerine Cool Mint 500ml(75)
9. Lemon and Tea Tree Shower Gel 250ml (76)
10 and 11. 2 Disney Mini Shower and Body Washes (77-78)
12. David Beckham Body spray (79)

I therefore used up 79 things between September and Christmas.:j
There has been a few INs in December
-25 things in my H and B beauty advent calendar
-In Love Again (YSL), Diamonds Rose( Armani) and Daisy by Marc Jacobs perfumes
-Sanctuary Gift set
-Lynx deodorants
but these were all gifts.

I'll be setting myself a new challenge in January, but just wanted to say thanks for all the support on here, it's a very welcoming group. Hope you all had a fab Christmas. x

VALM - I've already posted my '7 by Spring' items.


No ins as gifts for me, the people who buy me gifts know I don't want any toiletries, I did get a candle though. I haven't been on any online sales and apart from walking the dog I didn't go out yesterday, sale shopping on Boxing Day seems dreadful to me. I remember when I was in the full grip of my toiletry and makeup addiction I would be all over the Boots, Debenhams and Space NK sales, I would spend a fortune, get the stuff and use it and find that it really made no difference to my life apart from the wasted money. I feel really bad about that, I still like certain products and will continue to buy them but the same old same old in Boots for instance just does nothing for me anymore.


2020 will be another low buy year for me, just a few skincare, haircare bits and foundation.

Hi radioles1408. Hope you are better now. So many people I know came down with the flu but thankfully not norovirus. Sounds awful. Well done on your usage though x

Nice haul ponypal. The only items I have from LUSH now are Blue Skies and Fluffy Clouds bubble bar. Used some in a bath �� this am. Plus a tub of Cup o Coffee. I’m going to look for an alternate body scrub when that’s done because a trip to LUSH is not always easy.

MY Bare Minerals order has arrived. When I am back at work I will put the Boss lip lacquer and the Benefit Dandelion Blush on sale.

2 INs for me over Christmas!

Paul Smith Rose 100ml - one of my favourites so glad to get it.
Superdrug Bloom Mandarin & Lime Basil set - includes shower gel, body lotion, hand cream, and two different sizes of an eau de toilette. Smells nice enough and all of it will likely be used by end of Jan (apart from the eau de toilette maybe)

None UU as I've been using my gifts instead (been away for Christmas).

I also got a Dyson hairdryer from the OH - can't believe it. Hoping this means I'll need to buy/ use less hair products going forward and save some ££!

Ooo, I hear the Dyson hairdryer is amazing, apparently you get a lot less frizz with it than other hairdryers, enjoy

UU today

3x 5ml Liftactiv Advanced Filler 7/89 (emptied tubes into a pot, made it easier to use.:)
Rimmel purple eye liner pencil 8/90

This leaves 4 items on PP list, toothpaste and lip liner should be finished, lip/cuticle balm in with a chance, but Nip+Fab Dragons blood will roll over to January 2020.

Alph-H order on its way, but ended up not buying the Goats Milk things.
