    Aussie Shampoo - decanted into pump bottle
    Laura Geller Spackle - may need to cut this open soon as there is a lot of air in there and it's difficult to squeeze.

    Caudalie Serum
    No 7 Beautiful Skin face wipes
    [STRIKE]Bath & Body Works Pumpkin hand wash[/STRIKE]

    The conditioner was finished off in my shower this morning. I can't say that I have found a HG conditioner. WNBA. Nothing wrong with the product itself just the packaging. I need squeezy tubes.

    VALM - I hope you resolve your dispute, so annoying when this type of thing happens.

    Aldi now do several John Frieda dupes in squeezy tubes in their shampoo and conditioner range. £1.49

    This is a link to the Beautiful Brunette squeezy tube conditioner.

    Haven't tried it myself, but I got an original shampoo and conditioner from the John Frieda range to review last year, and was impressed.

    I went to SD at the weekend and stocked up on all my essentials, I didn't buy anything extra but I got a free bubble face mask with my skincare products. The extracts shampoo was bogof so I'm probably stocked up for the year now!

    Only had a couple of UU,
    3. Tony moly handcream, WNBA, only bought it for the cute panda jar in the first place! I'm keeping the jar and will refill it with more handcream

    4. Dior nudeskin foundation sachet, was a good foundation but definitely a shade too dark for me. I still have a few foundation samples left so I'm going to get through them now, although I'll probably open them at the weekend in case they are tango orange

    I also rooted through my make up drawer and have more blusher and bronzer than I will ever get through! Next in line for a cull I think ;-)
    No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
    35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins

    I have a GA and TA today :-

    GA Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Eternal Gold. The daughter of my friend at work needed a gold eyeshadow to wear in a school production and the only one they have is Half Baked by UD. Gave her this for her daughter and friends to use instead. It was quite old and startling to dry out. I had hit pan too so think I was quite generous to give it away.

    TA : Leighton Denny Indulgence. Wasn't getting much product on brush. Think it's discontinued. I have other reds so not particularly bothered to seek out dupe. Am wearing OPI The Color of Minnie instead which reminds me of another favourite called Cara Mia Crimson.

    I have a uu

    No7 Stay Perfect Smoothing Eyeshadow in Nude - this was in a tube with a wand like a lipgloss, I took the stopper out ages ago and there is just a bit at the bottom and a bit at the top I can't get to. I used this as an eye primer and it did the job well. I have way too many products to consider buying again and am trying to simplify my makeup over time so WNBA.

    A UU from my PP list- finally the Hugo boss Orange edp 75ml is done. WBA if I ever get through the rest of the perfumes in my stash. Had a few compliments on this fragrance, I liked it in summer especially the evenings.
    Have replaced it with Noa summer 50ml from stash, This is supposed to be another version of Noa but it smells just the same as the original to me!
