I've made a decent dent in that one, it's a really nice everyday colour. Looks good with black liner. As I mentioned the Crème de Nude is amazing as a base for powder shadows. Like VALM said, I wish there was more of a range in the UK. There were only about five when I went in Superdrug last. I've got a Benefit one too which I like but, again, haven't used for a while. It's called No Pressure. Slightly shimmery pale, pink-toned taupe? It's nice. I think it came in one of those Neutrals sets. It's so dinky!
I have the dinky pot of No Pressure and RSVP too. The are part of the Neutrals set.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 sold 2 of my items on the Bay so quite pleased about this so OUTs today will be :-
125ml Elemis Nourishing Milk Bath
No 7 blush stick
Had a look through my current items yesterday and think that only 2 are likely to be UU this week :-
Small tube of No 7 Instant Radiance primer - tube has become squishy.
Avon Planet Spa body lotion - am at least half way down the tub.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!

Had a bit of a pamper night on Friday, so made a dent!
UUs
1 x Lush bath bomb (couldn't tell you what kind as the writing had faded from the label!
1 x M&S bath fizzer - WNBA. Part of a Christmas gift. Smelt nice enough, but not very fizzy.
TBS White Musk S/Gel (on PP) - WNBA. Not a huge fan of the scent, but was a Christmas gift from last year. Used to make my bath a bit more bubbly!
TBS Frosted Plum mini shower gel (on PP) - WDBA. This smells amazing, I'm hoping they bring this scent back next year!
Boots Botanics hand cream (on PP) - WMBA. Used the dregs of this on my feet under socks, after squeezing most of it into the big hand cream dispenser I have on my desk. So in theory not necessarily a UU, but at least the packaging has gone!
Victoria's Secret Aqua Kiss body spray (on PP) - WDBA. I love these body sprays for every day wear. They have a strong scent that lasts much longer than your usual body sprays.abbe89 wrote:[STRIKE]- 1 x hotel/gift set shower gel (carried over from Feb)[/STRIKE]

Found a few things from Christmas while tidying my room so I've had a couple more ins, but they were gifts not purchases.
Another pump dispenser bottle of hand wash
A bath fizzer
And a large rose shaped thing that it says use two petals at a time in the bath, it looks very pretty and I'm guessing it's a kind of bubble bath.
I've used up the dregs from a tube of Trevor shower gel and left the tube in the bath to rinse out when I have a soak later. Will count that as an out as it will be in the recycling by tonight.SPC~12 ot 124

I went to decant the end of a big bottle of bed head conditioner into a smaller pot yesterday but it was pretty set and I realised that I must have had it for 4 years... so instead I TA the last inch in the bottom.
I have hit pan on one of my eye shadows for the 6 by spring challenge. There is no way I will finish 5 of the items but I have been using them everyday so I feel that it is successful anyway. I know I wouldn't have got into the habit otherwise and they'd still be sat pretty full on the bureau!
I will need to buy some deodorant tonight as the can felt pretty empty this morning, I really want to do a new inventory as I haven't kept up with the last one, I feel some good progress has been made since I joined last summer!
I'm close to running out of face wipes as well. I have acquired 3 muslin clothes and was wondering how people use them - do you wash them every single day and do you use them to take off all of your make up? And does anyone use a vegan/cruelty free remover?My debt free diary

1 UU for me:
- Bee Good Honey & Propolis 2-in-1 Cream Cleanser. WNBA but only because I'm not really a fan of cream cleansers. If I was, this would be the one I'd go forReally nice - fresh natural light scent, and very effective while being very gentle and kind to my skin.
My 6 by Spring as a reminder to myself, and progress check!
- Maybelline dream matte mousse foundation - almost gone!
- Clinique Superpowder x [STRIKE]2[/STRIKE] 1 - second one almost gone too!
- Clinique superfine liner for brows - Not going to get UU in time, but I'm liking using it
- [STRIKE]Ren lipgloss [/STRIKE]
- [STRIKE]Urban decay original primer[/STRIKE]
- Barry M Chisel Cheeks contour kit - hit pan on one of the colours, but won't finish it any time soon.Just had a glorious bath! haha feeling great and now about to paint my nails OPI You're such a budapest.
I have this colour too, I love it! I'm just painting mine with Can't find my Czechbook at the minute.0 -

The cleanser I've just finished "Bee good", post above, is cruelty free, but uses honey - I know there's differing views on whether that's vegan or not...? The brand is very focused on preserving British bees, and using natural ingredients. And the reviews are great.
It comes with a muslin cloth too, but it's nice to have several. I use 1 a day, and stick them in the wash frequently.

Thanks fixx for the recommendation. I am stuck in the debate within myself over honey... I sort of go with I will avoid it as much as possible and use agave nectar myself but I know my mum has used honey in a few things she's made for me and she puts so much effort into food when I go over that I can't tell her otherwise!
I'll take a look at some others and maybe see if I can get a free tester of this to give it a go!My debt free diary
