    No ins or uu's here. I did repaint my nails last night using Leighton Denny Meet me on Venus - a lovely pale mauve with a tiny shimmer.

    Hello

    2 UUs
    Daniel Galvin Jr Organics shampoo- HG so WDBA but have some others to use up
    Bare Minerals foundation sample - I might get a full size, really easy to put on and wear. I've had four samples of this so I know my skin gets on ok with it. I've got few other things to use up before I actually NEED to buy any foundation.

    INs: I did buy the LIB awards box (9 items). What I liked was being able to choose what you wanted from a list, so I could avoid getting another eyeliner in a shade I won't use, or haircare product I won't get on with. They are going to do another box with all the winners in, but as I've already picked what I fancied from the nominees, I won't be getting that one.

    No UU's to report but I have 2 TA's.

    I threw out a Biosen deodorant this morning as when I sprayed it on it really really burned my skin. I fully expected to see blisters.... very odd as I had been using this for ages and never had an issue.

    Also TA the last of my Dior foundation. It seemed to have started to separate in the bottle and was just not staying on my face. Life is too short for a shiney face :)

    Oh dear ladies, I’ve fallen off the wagon big time – this is definitely a trip to the naughty step…

    They had a discount cosmetic sale here at work today (I’m in a huge office based on a country estate, and the company organises different companies and sellers to come in different days of the week – I normally stick to the lovely eggs and meat from the local farmers though…) and they had some great offers :o

    I got:
    - MD formulations travel kit
    - LOOK Book Metallic Smoulder Eyes Pro kit
    - LOOK Book Glow Bronze Sculpt kit
    - Foundation sponge brush thing (which I’ve been meaning to get for ages)
    But it was all £28 in total, and I think I’ll give the travel kit and smoulder kit to my sister as a thank you gift (for various things recently). There were lots of other lovely things as well, but I stopped at those lol

    And no UU’s to report either :p

    Have been good girl today. Bobbed into Boots and only got ladies essentials (Always) and emery boards.

    Have an Avon brochure here though.
    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!

    I have another July UU! Yay!!

    3. Liz Earle IBST - I decanted this into a spray bottle and used as a spray on toner after using my acid exfoliater morning and evening. WMBA - this was a really nice refreshing step and unlike some spray toners it didn't leave my skin feeling sticky, though I didn't really have a "hallelujah" moment either... undecided if I will buy again or continue searching for something a little more amazing. I have a HUGE bottle of dermalogica toner to get through before I need to decide...though this one makes my skin feel super sticky so it will be hard to make myself get to the end of it :(

    I have a few uu's to report

    Rituals Organic White Lotus & Yi Yi Ren Hand Wash 200ml - this was lovely, I have another in the stash but for now I have refilled the bottle.

    Body Shop Moringa Shower Gel 250ml - this has gone into the hand wash bottle. Lovely fragrance WBA.

    Jergens Original Body Lotion - this smells of cherry bakewells, the kids used most of it and loved it, have another in the stash but can't buy anymore as I believe this brand has stopped selling in the UK.

    Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer - WBA, this is lovely and has lasted ages, I took the stopper out to get all the product out.
