    Might actually do a count of make-up products this week as they have never been included in my previous counts of things to use!

    I've got an illumalid the one with the heart on the top. they still don't form a proper wax pool, and on one in particular the flame still jumps about. I'm using the tin foil trick aswell as the illumalid. Thinking about getting a shade.

    I have a few ins from yesterday as I had to go to superdrug to get my concealer (found out it had been discontinued arghh they no longer stock 2true). Also needed a replacement micellar water for work bag.

    Superdrug b.pure micellar water
    Impulse Charli xcx body spray
    batiste sugar melon & honeysuckle dry shampoo

    Then Primarni:
    Cuticura Christmas cookie hand gel
    Cuticura cherry blossom hand gel
    Cuticura daisy chain hand gel
    Ps...love your hands vitamin e hand cream

    I use a shade for my large jar candles. Had occasions when I've also got soot up the walls when burning without a shade. Am burning Alie Water in the hall at the mo. Can't wait for it to finish now so I can burn a BABW one.
    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 hit UU #3 on Tuesday morning. Finished my bottle of mouthwash, and that's the last I've found around the house (at least so far) so nothing to replace it with. Won't be buying again as I really haven't seen any benefit from using it, and don't like using it either.

  • Another UU:

    Space NK Daily Fix Foot cream. I like the menthol scent and it feels quite moisturising, plus I think it's meant to be quite natural. Just not sure it beats the This Works one I've used recently or the L'Occitane one either. Wouldn't rule out a repurchase once I've UU the rest of my stash (which compared to my hand cream isn't that large though still runs to three different lotions).
  • Unexpected UU this evening:

    swizzles fizzers body butter- Wnba this smelt of sherbet lemons, okay but not my favourite smell. It was a pain to get it to rub in, didn't sink in easily at all. I might try again in a different scent if they do it, but otherwise I prefer body shop or boots extracts butters. Got tons so don't need to buy again currently. I've put out a body shop Shea one now to use.

    Avon bubble bath and Phil smith Argan oil cream are spluttering so hopefully more UU to report soon.

    NBI's. L'Oreal are suddenly swamping Am@zon Vine with items. I have some Revitalift face cream (no SPF though, pity) and some L'Oreal Body Oil Lotion - this is really, really nice.

    I also am thrilled to bits with a very novel combined paddle brush and hairdryer from Revlon.
    I really can't praise this one highly enough. It feels gorgeous! I was tempted to wash my hair when it didn't need it just to have my mock Indian Head Massage again.

    Sold a Soap&Glory Lip balm and going to post it tomorrow. I have included 2 samples in it so these are 3 outs.

    I have also used Beauty Sleep Perfector Sample from Lancome - I love this and I have had couple of them. Cant bring myself paying full price yet though.
    3/10 of samples from my PP list.

    And - you are doing so well with your trial products, that brush sounds good, not for me though with my curly hair.

    I have a uu

    Ren Flash 1 Minute Facial - this was just a sachet but I WNBA, it just goes all bitty when I add the water and I believe it is quite pricey too.

    I have also used up a Yankee Candle tart in Beach Wood - not a strong scent from this so WNBA, have replaced it with a Cherry Vanilla tart.
