    @Clutterbug07 I think it's because it comes out as quite a thick mist if that makes sense?  The LRP one is a fine mist so doesn't clog up my lungs quite so much 😆

    And welcome to the thread @Cressida100.  Once you make that stash list, you'll know what you have and can make a plan of action on what to use up first.  You may also find that there are things that just need throwing (I mean washing out and recycling, but you get the idea) and even stuff that you know you just won't use anymore that you can declutter.

    Updated PP List

    Bath & Body Works Pink Chiffon Body cream
    Orly base coat 
    Bath & Body Works Hope hand cream 
    Urban Decay Setting Spray mini

    UUs The Inkey List Vitamin C Serum.  I need to find an alternative now as I'm going through one a month.

    First Aid Beauty Cleanser.  This was a small tube that came in an advent calendar.  WNBA.  Don't like foaming cleansers.

    Bare Minerals Gen Nude lipstick in the shade Love.  This was a gorgeous peach colour.  Bit sad that I didn't buy more in this formula as it's discontinued.

    OPI Barking up the Wrong Sequoia mini.  Nice enough.  WNBA as I have a similar colour that I prefer called You've Got Nata on 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!

  • I came across this thread by accident. Having palpations just reading it! It's making me want to try the stuff I've never heard of  :# I have bookmarked it and will build up to giving it a go. It will be stressful and very time consuming making a list of my stash. I'm going to try. Wish me luck! 
    Welcome! Get stuck in, you'll get the hang of it  :)

    Reporting a couple of outs from the weekend:

    - Essence I Love Volume Waterproof Mascara: This is a maybe WBA, loved the volume but it did start flaking towards the end of using it, so would need to be careful with it.  Great price though!

    - Collection Clear Lash Mascara: Use this to set my brows when I use pencil and have repurchased.

    - NYX brow gel: this was a tinted one that was great when it was great but bad most of the time.  Started to get very clumpy and just can't work with it anymore


    Updated PP List:


    Mac Lipgloss
    Garnier Micellear water
    Cantu body cream

    4 sheet masks: 2 done
    First Aid Beauty eye cream
    NYX brow gel

    Honey foot mask
    Shea Moisture leave in conditioner
    TBS Avocado body butter
    Caudalie SPF 50+

    I think I can probably get through everything except for the body butter and leave in conditioner by the end of the month, but I'll be happy with that progress if so!


    Also reporting a couple of IN's:

    - Frank Coffee Body Scrub: Never tried before but was on offer in boots and I needed a new body scrub

    - Collection Clear Lash Mascara: replacement as mentioned above

     the 4x Rimmel Shimmer Instant Tan bottles have been in the drawer at least 16 years! All my makeup (that I still use on the very rare occasions I use makeup) were bought for my wedding, almost 10 years ago. If I joined this challenge and started using everything up, people would think I was either having an early mid life crisis or having an affair  :D
    This made me chuckle.

    Somerset Toiletry Company Naturally European Milk Hand Cream - I put a tube of this on my dressing table last week and thought to myself that I needed to get another tube, I was in a garden centre on Saturday and they had one tube left at half price.  It is a nice hand cream, just like L'Occitane Shea Hand Cream.

    My Gruum order arrived at the weekend, I got two sets so I have two each of body wash bars, cleansing bars and shampoo bars.
