    Hello, hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year. I'm back with a new challenge for 2020.

    I aim to use up 150 toiletries in 2020. My focus at the end of last year was to make a dent into the mini bottles I had acquired from hotels/gift sets and to finish off half used things. I'll continue with that this year, but will at some point start looking at make up too. I seem to have stuff lurking in various bags, drawers and cupboards!

    I'll start with a confession though, I did buy a wee S and G set yesterday in B00ts. It was half price, it was paid for with money gifted to me at Christmas, I like S & G and the tin it came in will be useful for putting stuff in, so I only feel bad a little bit bad about it. :)

    Good luck to everyone in using up their stash. x

    First UU of the month (and year) for me:

    La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml WDBA and have done. My HG moisturiser, nothing else compares really. I am looking at trying a few different ones though, in case I can't get my hands on this in the future, unlikely but a possibility.

    Happy New everyone!

    In again for this year and decade, last year was a challenging year personally so gong to start this year with a lot of self-care without new purchases.

    UU:

    Superdrug hand rescue balm handcream: WNBA, ok but prefer handcreams with SPF.

    Another UU

    ELF 16hr Camo concealer. HG. Another in stash. Tried to pop the stopper out of this but it wouldn’t budge.
    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!

    8 in today :eek:

    Bought dry shampoo and picked up my LF subscription box.

    All items I will use like glov reusable make up remover pads, e cooking face serum and a lord and berry lip liner.

    Feel like I’m going to have a clatter of empties over the next week, seem to be getting to the end of a lot that I have been using up since the middle of last year.

    I sold 3 items today so 1 eyeshadow and 2 highlighters are out. Not much money but better than keeping them in.

    Will use a sample of Kiehl's Centella Recovery skin-Salve

    Happy New Year everyone! :j
    Thanks for the new thread again, sstevo. :beer:
    I missed then whole December thread by the look of things. I have two UUs, one of which was from last month.



    UUs:


    Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation: absolute HG product. It is really good quality that lasts and a bottle lasts ages. I have another one I have already cracked open.



    Listerene Cool Mint mouthwash: perfectly fine - not the most fun item in my collection. I have something to replace it.
    Please call me 'Pickle'
