    1 UU and a TA for me.

    UU: Sephora coconut shower gel. Can't buy again. Same feeling with this as I had with the scrub.

    TA: Got a bar of L'Occitane Reubens D'Orange soap out of my stash. I think it had gone off as it smelt very bad. Used it in the shower last night but decided it is not going to redeem itself with usage so I've binned it. Can't even remember which Christmas I got this for as I know it came in a kit my sister bought me full of mini sized L'Occitane goodies. Think I have one such mini left so should really open this next and have a whiff of it.

    Went around Superdrug yesterday. I need a concealer for under my eyes. They didn't look too bad when I had a tan but now it's fading I could do with some help there. Can't really afford my HG Benefit Erase paste at the mo so was looking to see if anyone had copied this. No such luck. All the concealers were the wand type, touche eclat type or cover stick type. The former is too runny for me in consistency and the latter too thick. What can I say I'm like Goldilocks when it comes to concealers!! Have seen someone selling new mini pots of Erase paste on Ebay so think I'll order one of these.

    Have a good day everyone. x
    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!

    A few uu to report

    Hotel 2 in 1 Shampoo and conditioner, just one more of these to go but for the life of me I don't know where I have put it.

    Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair - 7ml GWP size, no noticable benefit from using this and it lasted quite a while so I thought I might have seen some difference.

    Soft Lips lip balm in French Vanilla - WBA - really like these but for now have replaced it with a Nivea milk and honey (this is one of many lip balms on the go, I have them stashed all over, this one is on my desk).

    Benefit moisturiser sample, very thick and rich so good for dry skin probably but I didn't risk it on my face and just used it up on my neck.
    Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

    1 UU: Avon skin so soft, I really like this as a summer holiday moisturiser. and have 2 more in the stash! Have replaced with a Soap and Glory body butter in a blue tube, so far so good.

    Also a very NPI, I got the email last night with TBS offer in it - went to buy it and at the last minute realised what I was doing and deleted it. I really don't need anything at the moment and when I really thought about it I would only have bought 1 of the products individually - I think I may be becoming sensible! :j
  • On a roll!

    1 more UU: Champneys dream bath. WNBA, not nearly scented enough, you have to use loads to get the nice smells.
