    Have another UU from my list : Elemis PCMC. This now finished off the 100ml pot I got for Christmas so am pleased this has lasted me 6 months. I have several of the freebie tubes from the Instyle Mag to decant into my 30ml pot so no need to repurchase hopefully until New Year.

    My PP list for June now looks like this

    Umberto Gianini dry shampoo [STRIKE]x 2 [/STRIKE]
    Liz Earle Eyebright
    Mark Hill straightening serum
    [STRIKE]Liz Earle IBST
    LE Skin Repair moisturiser
    Elemis PCMC
    Avon foundation
    LG Balance N Brighten[/STRIKE]
    LG Spackle
    [STRIKE]LOccitane jasmine and bergamot soap
    Soap and Glory righteous butter.[/STRIKE]

    Am going to look in ASDA later for a replacement for the Eyebright. Might get some Micellar water to use as make up remover.
    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!

    What sun is that? It has looked like rain all day here but has held off so far.

    Finally got around to trying the San Tropez In Shower Tan Lotion today. Most of the reviews mentioned that it doesn't smell like usual tanning lotions ... sorry, but I think it smells awful, whatever it smells like! By the time 3 minutes were up I could practically taste it! Bleurgh.
    And waiting 3 mins is pretty boring.
    Still, I will probably use it again cos I can sit out in the sun for hours and still look pasty :(

    No UU's to report. HOW do you ladies manage to get through so much product so quickly?? Maybe I will just have to start throwing away!!

    I've found in the past I have no UU's for ages then a whole bunch at once - they never seem to be nicely spaced or constant, boo.

    Although one for me this morning, yay!
    - Skin&Tonic Steam Clean balm - small sample pot. My mum gave this to me when she got it in a beauty box, and it was really nice with a great fresh smell. I prefer face washes though, so can't be bothered seeking it out to buy.

    And a TA - Boots cucumber eye gel. I've had it for ages, probably too long, and don't use it. No idea why I still had it lying around, so it went in the bin.

    One in though - Barry M chisel cheeks contour kit. I've been wanting to try contouring for ages, so picked this up a cheap intro, sorry :o

    Hi everyone,
    Room for one more?
    I think I have a problem! I've always been a bit of a toiletry hoarder and got some of that under control a while ago but I seem to have gone a bit mad on other fronts recently. Lily lolo, MUR and beauty crowd orders all in one weekend was probably a mistake.
    Anyway, I've made a start. I gave my SIL a make up bag full of stuff and have been making more of an effort to use things up but still a long way to go.

    Since my binge beauty buying I have managed some UUs!

    1. Ren Rosa centifolia cleansing gel - mini - nothing special, probably WNBA
    2. Body shop ginger shampoo - WNBA - didn't help my scalp and wasn't keen on the smell
    3. Gosh CC cream - already had another standing by - WBA
    4. Boots botanics rosewater toning mist - WMBA - nice enough and I like spray toners but I have lush ones to use first

    Hope everyone's having a great day! :)

    You know I have read some saying this but I smell nothing of it! My nose is blocked most of the time, perhaps why!!

    Avon Sun Tan Face Cream SPF50
    Superdrug B&B Micelle Cleansing Water
    Avon So Soft Original Dry Body Spray - gave to a friend
    Avon So Soft Original Bath Oil
    Good Things Purifying Cleanser

    In
    Avon So Soft Original Bath Oil x 3
    Body Shop Vitamin E Face Sorbet - Body Shop had a flash sale so had to buy

    Therefore 116 - 7 = 109+4 = 113
