UU - Dove body bath – WBA if on offer. I go though bubble bath so quickly though.
I'm going to use one of my shampoos as bubble bath now I think, so I can start getting my stash down. It was a freebie so I'm fine with repurposing it.No more goo hoarding!

Hope your family are better soon Fizz and well done on hitting pan on Coralista! I have a mini of that stashed somewhere, used to have a full size one but sold it when I bought a Benefit blush kit at christmas that had lots of minis in.
Well done on decluttering some polishes too Dolly
No UU here yet. I have decided on my 4x4 items though -
1. Hit pan on my MUA brow kit - this has been in my collection for a while. I stopped using it as I started using the Soap and Glory brow pencils instead. I have UU 2 of those and am not going to repurchase until I have UU my shade in the MUA one. There is a dent in this already so hopefully won't be too difficult to hit pan over the next few months.
2. UU Botanics All Bright night moisturiser - I have 2 of these half used in the stash so want to get 1 UU and gone.
3 - 4 Hit pan on 2 other products in my stash. I'm not sure which products yet but I would really like to start hitting pan on some items.
Lets see how it goes!!0 -
My superdrug order has arrived so I have the following ins
Models Own Speckled Egg Polish in Dove
Models Own Speckled Egg Polish in Duck
Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in Honey (have one of these on the go and wanted a backup)
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Berry Couture
These were all on offer, the polish was buy 1 get 1 half price and Revlon was 2 for £10 plus free delivery (super quick too) so not a bad deal.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Superdrug Naturally Radiant Day Cream
Estee Lauder ATZ Eye Cream
Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm (rollover) almost done, cut open and one use left

Superdrug Skin Soft Age Care Body Lotion I think I've used this twice all month :rotfl: Not a hope of finishing it before June unless I drink it in lieu of cider
4x4 July
No7 Melting Gel Cleanser I've only used this a handful of times and I think it might be breaking me outWe'll see…
[STRIKE]Hit pan on my Benefit Coralista blush [/STRIKE] DONE! I don't think I've never not ever hit own on a blush before
UU my MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack Almost there, I have been using this every day since early November, it hasn't dried up and is super black and super matte
Hit pan on at least THREE shadows in the MUA palette which I'm trying to UU two down, one to go. Will post pics at the start of June to chart my PtP Progress
So, nothing major in terms of UUs but I really feel like I have had a LBM this month :j I am getting a real kick from seeing pan under blushes and eyeshadows I've had for years and when it comes to repurchasing things I am running short of, I am buying what I *love* rather than what seems like a *bargain* :cool:
You're making really good progress FizzWhizz.
I did spot that I have hit pan on two of the eyeshadows in my MUA Undressed palette. Will have to use these once the Bobbi Brown one has gone.UU:
Original source hand wash (have another in the cupboard already so will replace shortly)
TAs:
2 They're Real Mascaras. I'm pretty sure they're UU and I just haven't put them in the bin because my make up collection looks so pretty. But they have finally gone!
I ended up on the hunt yesterday for Emma's favourite Maybelline concealer. She was moaning that she was out of foundation and concealer so being the lovely mother I am (mug, some do say) I ordered her some foundation and went into our local Boots to pick up the concealer. Looks like it may be being discontinued if any ladies here love it it may be a case of grabbing it while you can. Can't remember the name - maybe "Everlasting" something - has a sponge applicator on the top. Managed to get 2 for the price of £10 in Superdrug and these were the last two.
Anyhow when I gave them to her last night she pulled open that magical tin again and gave me a few concealers/foundations/highlighters/primers that she doesn't get on with. Great more stuff to add to my stash that I have become too mean to throw away. She did give me a Clinique Lash Power mascara though which I'm pleased with. I also spied a load of "empties" which she said she was keeping cos she likes the packaging. I tried telling her about how you ladies on here are overcoming this but it fell on deaf ears.
Also, getting back to the discontinued topic apparently Benefit of announced that Dallas is not being discontinued. Hurrah!!
I have another GA - my friend at work has run out of mascara and is a bit skint so gave her one of my Clinique GWP Lengthening mascaras.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!

VALM - is it the Instant Eye Eraser something or other concealer. I can't understand why they would discontinue it as it seems super popular, I have one and really like it.
I have another uu
Right Guard Invisible 72h - WDBA- this is really good and quite strongly scented which I like for when I will be working out.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

A couple more INS but free :j - day cream with SPF15 to test for Boots. Nice scent and texture so far.
Also the L'Occtaine box (well actually I have 2 boxes and BF got one too) maybe regift but looks very nice.
Hope everyone is wellLife is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -
UU one No 7 Protect & Perfect Advanced, sample size. Started new one, full sized. Getting there ... very slowly ... ...Looking ahead0

Just painted nails with Sally Hensen Colour Quick Nail Color Pen - color says "stone"
I bought this from Poundland to just to give it a try. It is basically a pen where you push the top to bring the varnish out. I wasn't hopeful as brush seemed very low quality however it looks good. Have to say I'm terrible to put nail varnish especially to my right hand.
Also found two half bottles of Boots Base and Top coats. Will make an effort to use them up. My Elegant Touch Rapid Dry for Nails is about to be UU too.ally.0 -
I'm on a roll with the uu's
Oilatum 500ml - this was a prescription item for DD but she showers now and rarely bothers with a bath so I have been using this. It is really nice, it smells lovely and makes the water milky.
Epsom Salts 300g - use these in the bath after long bike rides.
Soap & Glory Hand Dream - this was nice and I would happily use again but wouldn't buy it as a separate item. If you use too much it balls up btw.
Elemis Rosepetal Cleanser 50ml - WBA, this was very nice.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
