me too. Don't wear foundation very often but will still like to try it.

I'd completely forgotten about mine until it arrived!

Four INs to report and first purchases since starting the challenge 40 days ago (who's counting? )

Avene rich skin recovery cream calming formula 40ml
Simple soothing eye balm
Herbal essences uplifting volume shampoo
Herbal essences uplifting volume conditioner

My conditioner is currently cut open to use the last dregs, and whilst I have a couple of samples to use, I decided to pick up the herbal essences on offer BOGOF in Boots as I had to pick some other stuff up.

The Avene recovery cream is to treat some chronic eczema, and the eyeball to manage it moving forward. The only side effect of using up all my products is a flare up in my sensitive skin causing thick eczema under my eyes. I've decided to get the Avene cream as a friend with eczema swears by their products, and the simple eye cream to manage the problem once the thick scaly patches disappear; I'll go back to using up eye products once that problem settles.

Maddiemay - wow that is a lot of handcream, I too have plenty but my real problem area is shower gel.

A uu to report:

BS Hemp hand protector - WBA, as this is quite a LHJ I ended up using it as foot cream as well. I think it does a good job of moisturising but I did reserve it for night time use as it is thick. Have replaced it with a gwp size of Clinique hand and cuticle cream.

Am currently sitting with my PK Elasticizer on in a desparate attempt to sort my hair out as during the week I burnt the top of it with my hairdryer. I had accidently turned the heat up full and I could smell burning and thought it was the dryer but it was actually my hair. Am having it cut next week so hopefully the hairdresser can cut must of the frazzled bits out.

My shower gel/bath product stash is going down slowly, trouble is all the nice quality stuff is soooooo economical and lasts forever!

that's it!!! Im joining for next month after just having received my Avon order and adding yet more to my already massive stash. I really do not know how much I have to use up (thinking hundreds!!!) but will have a count up over the weekend as I am decorating / decluttering / sorting anyway!

Welcome, we all encourage each other, all great people who support each other in lots of ways, not just toiletry related:)

Kiplingmonkey - hope you stayed strong, I too was tempted, but in the process of looking out a load of GA's and TA's, so must NOT buy more:rotfl:

First UU for me a Lush shower gel called something Fox, smelled ok but a bit thin and didn't like the brown colour WNBA (was a present)

Still struggling to finish my Biotherm aqua source face cream cut the end off ages go. Will then go back to my Lancôme one and after that have an Liz Earle one.

No ins.

That'll be flying fox, love the smell but is a little thin through makes it last ages:money:
UU for me my last L'Occitaine hand cream mini and cherry blossom too, very sad:(

IN- mini Astral hand cream to replace it

One UU and a few TAs from a makeup cull. The things are ancient, dried up or both!

UU: Nuxe hand and nail cream 3ml sample. WNBA, a bit too greasy.

TAs:

Liz Earle sheer skin tint 2ml x 2. These are in the darker shades and the lighter shade I tried was horrible, so sticky!

Benefit It stick: freebie from Glamour a few years ago, really dry and cakey.

Barbara Daly mascara: dried up, this was a freebie. Didn't really do much.

No7 Exceptional Definition mascara sample: dried up. Didn't like this, I've yet to find a No7 mascara I like.

L'oreal Voluminous extra volume mascara (the one in the gold tube): WNBA, this was terrible and clumpy! Odd as the Voluminous Carbon Black (black tube, gold lid) is my HG.

Went to Superdrug to buy toothpaste today and left with nothing but a single tube of toothpaste, success!

This week's following UUs:

Boots own brand Rose 'Vaseline': WIB? It was ok, has lasted a year with regular use but it's not a patch on real vaseline as it's quite thin in texture.

Superdrug anti perspirant: Leaves white marks so WNBA

Ins: 9 backs of pantyliners from Boots glitch. Dunno why I bought them really as I don't really use them, guess I'm addicted to the thrill of 'getting one over' on Boots. :-)
