    UU Aveda pramasana purifying scalp cleanser
    - this was a NBI passed on to me by my mum. I really enjoyed using it, I sometimes used it and then skipped shampoo, but the directions do recommend to use shampoo after it. I used it weekly for a while and would see a big difference! Decided to start using it every time I washed my hair over the past few months and I think my hair got used to it but I still like it.
    I would consider buying again but I have a lot of scalp products to get through first.

    December Update:

    16 IN’s (2 NBI’s and 14 Purchased - bulk of which were LUSH sale but all planned purchases!)
    7 OUTS (2 TA and 5 UU)

    2019 running total

    66 INs of which
    24 are NBI's
    and 42 were purchased

    95 OUTs of which
    11 GA
    9 TA
    and
    75 UU

    So less ins than outs which was my main goal!

    Absolutely buzzing about this. I hope this can continue next year too, as I still have a few multiples in some categories but am almost in a one in one out situation which is awesome.

    Will count up and post a 2020 stash list on the new thread but thanks all this has been my most successful New Years resolution thanks to the commitment of everyone here to keep at it!
    Happy New Year Everyone even those who don't post :)


    edited to add... here's an update on my PP list

    REN Clean Skincare Rosa Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser!- my plan was to use daily and I did pretty much use this every single day but it's still going
    Weird hemp shampoo which I am now using as showergel to get rid of!- UU hurrah and good riddance
    Lucky Cloud coconut lip butter!- been using this when I remember
    Aveda purifying scalp cleanser!- UU!!!
    Will also revive some glitter nail polishes and make use of them this month - did this! Had glitter nails for at least half of the month, v nice :)

    Am pleased with December progress, 11 UU and 5 IN.

    Total for 2019 is 113 UU and 64 IN. Started with 146, ended with 97.

    My stash is now under 100 items which was a recent aim and now all fits in a much smaller space in the spare bedroom.

    Hopefully good work will continue in 2020, may even start to look at the make up stash which will be a much harder UU task.

    Happy New Year when it comes everyone :)

    Rich Girl eyeshadow from Chocolate Gold palette
    MAC Dare You lipstick
    NARS Gilda Blush
    NARS Outlaw Blush
    Rollin In Dough from Chocolate Gold palette
    Stila Bubbly from In The Light palette
    Hourglass bronzer from the Edit 4 palette

    With the exception of the MAC lipstick I've been using the other items fairly consistently. Rich Girl and Bubbly are quite soft and bigger pan is being made.
    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!
