  • UU
    Liz Earle body lotion - wba this was a nice scent
    Laura mercier - gel eye liner, wnba this was long lasting but the extent that literally nothing could get it off and I got sick of scrubbing my eyes to get rid of it!
    bleach shampoo - wnba the sls in this was making my scalp irritated again so glad it's gone!

    IN
    faith in mature shampoo from the vegan kind and John masters conditioner, skin blossom hand cream, a fair trade face cream and small tube of the new ten face mask from love lula (I don't count sachets in my stash and there were a couple more)
  • One uu yesterday, superdrug apricot exfoliating mask - WBA was lovely and scrubby... Felt like it was giving my face a good pamper!! I liked the heating effect too.

    I have a uu

    Vichy Normaderm 3 in 1 scrub, mask, face wash - this tube lasted for a long time, I really only used it as a scrub (whatever you use it for it is always a scrub) and prefer St Ives scrubs so WNBA.

    Half way through the month and not one single in - feeling very proud of myself.

    Just updated my list and I currently have 110 items. Considering I started with 168 and have had 5 in's I think I'm going pretty well. Many of them were TAs at the beginning but I've also stopped myself from buying any items unless I actually need them and can justify them to my OH without him making his "I know you are trying to justify this purchase but it's a crazy way to go about it" face.

    I need to get moisturising as I seem to have loads of body creams but don't use them that often!

    1 x Sleek Corrector set is sold and I have also sent a BB cream sample to buyer. So 1 out ( don't count samples but have many of them!).

    Painted my nails last night with Rimmel Salon Pro Soul Session - this isn't a great nail polish. I like the brush, it is easy to apply however color is weak and doesn't last long. I might TA it soon.

  • Another UU, stash is gradually diminishing!

    11/139: Sanctuary Relax Cocooning Body Butter 100ml - HG, I adore everything about this and WDBA. Plenty of others to get me through the rest of the year though.


    I need to make time at the weekend to list some unwanted toiletries and make-up for sale.

    I threw away the Laura Geller mascara that I was using yesterday. Was very dry so it was time to go.
    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!

    Repainted my nails last night with Maybelline Really Rosy, this is a really lovely rosewood colour. I am using Sally Hansen Insta Dry Anti Chip Top Coat and it does dry quick but the anti chip part is debatable.
