    Thank you for the new thread and happy new year everyone.

    Carrying over couple of items from December for my January PP list and also couple of new contenders:

    PP list

    Lush Lip Scrub
    Rituals Hand Scrub
    Mio Boob Tube Bust Cream
    Poison Girl Perfume
    [STRIKE]Clinique Serum[/STRIKE]
    Nip Fab Dragon Blood Serum
    Clarins Detox Booster
    [STRIKE]2 x samples[/STRIKE]

    So 2 samples and Clinique Serum from the list UU.
    Clinique Moisture Surge™ Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate - I bought this from duty free for a great value a while back.I paid around £44 for 2 bottles of this and it costs around £37 for 1 usually. While I do like it, I'm unsure if it has an immense impact on my skin however time will tell.

    Kicked off with using up 3 x samples (2 x cleansers and 1 x facial oil) and 1 x sheet mask. So 4/10 for the month so far.


    Now up to 5/10 for the month - I'm currently relaxing with some gel under-eye pads on. Fresh from the fridge they're so soothing! I've got a few more to use up but I'll definitely be repurchasing when I've run out!

    Two UUs today:

    Avene Extremely Gentle Cleanser Lotion 300ml WNBA. I didn't like this a face cleanser. It's got a funny smell to it and I prefer other cleansers. I used this up as a hand wash. It's finally finished.

    Colgate Total Original Toothpaste 75ml WDBA and have done. This is a great toothpaste, since switching from Sensodyne to this, my slight sensitivity has been a lot less than when I used Sensodyne. I've got a bigger tube of this ready to go.
  • I finished my first used up of the year. Clinique spf 15.
    It is fine as a moisturizer. I have a few on reserve and need to use them up before considering a purchase.

    I gave away a few items and threw out some mouthwash but I'm not counting them towards the count

    target 5.......... progress 1/5

    Hi ladies, I’ve had a bad week health wise. Started sneezing at the weekend, went into work on Monday feeling like I just had a cold though my throat was very sore. Made it through the day and thought a hot bath and early night would sort me out but suffered severe body aches all night. Was off work Tuesday and Wednesday with the flu which became an ear infection. Got antibiotics yesterday and feeling a little better today. The worst yesterday was the feeling that I had an obstruction in my throat but thankfully that feeling has gone. Anyway upshot is that I have had a lot of baths this week and UUed my LUSH Blue Skies and Fluffy Clouds bubble bar. Love the patchouli fragrance and the way it softens my skin. WDBA.

    I had an IN the day before yesterday too. Gym for your skin Vitamin C serum bought via QVSELL. A bargain. Retails for £37 and sold to me for £2.50.

    I e decided to try a value out, allowance reward scheme for my Low Buy. I think I said something like this last year but did not follow through. So for every full sized item UUed I will award myself £1 and ant travel size 50p. I can then spend the equivalent on something Beauty related. So I’ve finished 3 items which covers the cost of the serum.

    I have also potentially sold two haircare products via QVSELL. I’ve arranged to get in touch with the Buyer again when I’m back at work so should earn £10 from that sale which I’ll allocate to my replacement bottle of Amika Bombshell Blowout spray as I think this will be the next replacement I need. Going to wash my hair today I think.
    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!
