Oh and Kwick don't feel too bad about your Kiko haul - exploring new textures and finishes is fun and you have done so much good work!

Dragon what did you order?

Woodhill hope the ouchy area calms down 🍃🌿

DragonNoodleCake · 06/01/2017 20:36

Lipstick, liquid eyeliner pen (these are the ones I always use and the current one is drying up) leggings, lip balms for DD2, stuff basically - bad dragon

DragonNoodleCake · 06/01/2017 20:37

I'm loving the maybeline tattoo me I got pre Christmas though - worn it almost every day

purpleviolet1 · 06/01/2017 21:33

Not finished anything recently but still reading with interest.. also joining the princess thread to get motivated to get using all products!!! Used mascara after ages today, Avon extreme or something. Seemed dry so tempted to throw...

kwick · 06/01/2017 21:43

Evening all. Frustrated, glad your MIL cost went OK and that your mum is doing well.

Lots of willpower again in Westfield tonight (DD needed to return something) and steered clear of make up shops and boots. And used up a large tube of L'Occitane lavender hand cream- lovely, but have 11 more to use before I can repurchase!!

kwick · 07/01/2017 07:49

Amazing dogday!!! Well done!

I have 2 empties:

  • Kingfisher fennel toothpaste - this is my all time favourite (have 2 tubes in stash)
  • Baylis & Harding jojoba, silk and almond body wash - I bought a gift set for £5 - thinking the smell sounded delicious... really hard to detect any scent at all... still have loads more of pack to go through Angry

Arghhh! My post didn't post!

Frugal so sorry to hear about your sad times. Sending 💜 and ((hugs))

Dogday I am in awe of your willpower 😊

I have been rubbish at using stuff up. But this weekend is operation declutter in the Dilligaf House.

I am armed with bin bags, and am going to be ruthless in ditching crap. I am going to stick a load of too big clothes and shoes on ebay, and I am going to reorganise the top of my wardrobe into a ordered and tidy stash of products. Oh yes I am! I may even take photos!

ememem84 · 07/01/2017 10:49

EMPTY to report. Palmers cocoa butter self tan moisturiser. Finally it's gone. I did think it's take even longer to use up but there was less than I thought left!!

Next moisturiser is a body shop grapefruit body butter. I love this stuff!

Will probably repurchase the self tan stuff. It smelled good. And was super moisturising. But not until the stash has reduced.

SerenadeOfTheSchoolRun · 07/01/2017 10:59

Hello guys - I am going to have to join you. 12 months ago I would see this thread title and not relate at all. Now I have 14 shower gels in 12 flavours with one more on order (for me) 8 for other family members (purchased by me with various degrees of enthusiasm from the people they are for), 5 different lotions/creams and another on order and 5 fancy hand washes (not quite so bad as we have more than one sink and 2 are very nearly finished). I spread all the shower gels out this morning as I keep most of them tucked away and it was rather shocking. Some are sample size to be fair to myself.

No more purchases until it is all gone! New years resolution territory. At least I like the majority of it (3 samples that I am less keen on to get through - or should I just bin them I wonder......)

CantChoose · 07/01/2017 11:37

Sorry to hear your news frugal, sounds like you're coping like a trooper!
I've managed to finish a mini perfume. I didn't even like it, should have gone in the bin...
I think my problem areas are perfumes, handcreams and nail varnish. With lip stuff a close contender!

kwick · 07/01/2017 11:37

Love the spirit mrs!!! Please post before and after photos Grin. It will be like Homes under the Hammer!!

eme I love that body butter too - but it contains fertility harming cyclopentasiloxane- so I gave mine away to SIL who is not looking for another child.

Welcome serenade!!!

Just did my Feel Unique pick and mix sample order Blush

Looking forward to the photos dilligaf.
We did this last year but frighteningly it needs doing again.

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 07/01/2017 11:54

Welcome serenade with 14 shower gels, you are among friends. After advent calendar I now have 13 Blush. So my resolution is to reduce and not just shove in guest room to ignore it.

There is some awesome will power here dogday. I needed you yesterday. I caved and bought an amazing set but 8 lip crayons. Really??? But I love them. Should I keep or gift?
Argh kwick the curse of B&H has struck again. I think they put the scent at the top so I buy thinking I'll love it then stuck with rubbish stuff for ages!
Also eye still rubbish so no eye make up. Feel odd but fingers crossed ok for work next week (kind of).
diligaf I'm at 5 plastic bags and loving it. Poor DC have lost their rubbish plastic Hoover. Sorry poppets. They will of course desperately desire it when they see in charity bag.

woodhill · 07/01/2017 14:00

1 empty here - Clinique serum, sample size. Ok but wouldn't rush out to buy it.

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 07/01/2017 14:03

Also posting on here looking for absolution!
Look how lovely they are......

Serenade welcome!

PinkiePie I saw your chubby sticks on the other thread - we need daily lip selfies! Grin

Dragon you love Avon and it really suits you

The weather here is pretty horrible, I've been through a snowstorm and intend to spend the rest of the day indoors swaddled in cashmere and mohair sipping tisanes and reading books.

I have a feeling that collectively we have a bit more to work with post Christmas Wink

FrustratedFrugal · 07/01/2017 14:15

Ooh you were quicker than me PinkiePie

CantChoose · 07/01/2017 14:16

Oooohhhh I want those another.
You are not helping!!
