    rdone - I just use my cleansing cloth once before it goes in the wash, it is totally full of makeup so has to be washed. I prefer thick cloths rather than muslin cloths as they hold the heat from the water better.

    I have two uu's

    Model Co Lipgloss - I think the colour was sweet berry or something, WNBA, despite owning a lot of lipgloss there are only one or two types that I like. This was a mag freebie so I didn't actually buy it it the first place.

    No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara - this was a gwp size, WBA, it is a nice mascara with a good brush.

    22) UU Garnier Body Repair Anti-Drying Restoring Lotion. This is very nice, but I still prefer their 7 day range so I won't be switching unless it is on sale.

    I had some INs yesterday. Got a belated birthday present from a friend. Got Boots Florence Anne set of 6 items : 3 X hand and body wash and 3 X hand and body lotion 75ml and 50ml respectively. Fragrances : Grapefruit & lime, Patchouli & clove and Blackcurrant & fig. Very pleased with this little kit.
    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!

    Morning all
    Another use up bottle of SJP lovely perfume, I've had this before and it was indeed lovely, so when I saw a Black Friday offer on spamazon for a big bottle last year I bought it. Now wether it was because it was a larger volume or what I don't know but it didn't smell the same and certainly didn't last. Even Dh who's pretty good at recognising what I'm wearing couldn't pick that out and rarely even commented that he'd noticed I was wearing perfume when I'd had it on a little while.

    I have lots of other perfumes so won't be replacing that.

    One UU yesterday:

    Sure bright bouquet roll on deodorant- WBA smells nice and does the job well.

    Feels like a slow month for me so far as I'm on a lot of sleep ins at work and hardly home on an evening to use my stuff so I'm mostly using my sleep in toiletries which were all new from my stash last week so I've hardly made a dent in them yet. Looking forward to weds and Thursday off work, Thursday I swim but Wednesday night I think I may have a nice bath/pamper and use up a bath bomb or lush bubble bar and a face mask.

  • On TA:

    Clinque Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion + 10ml: This has a horrible smell to it and wouldn't sink in so I binned it.

    Three UUs:

    Lush Each Peach (And Two's A Pair) Massage Bar: This had a very nice smell to it but I this massage bars are a pain to use so WMBA if part of a set like this was.

    Lush Honey I Washed The Kids Soap: LOVE this so much! WDBA when I get around to it!

    B&BW Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte Shower Gel 250ml: Also love this! Gutted that I didn't buy more when I picked it up because it smells incredible and lasts ages! WDBA if I'm ever in the states at the right time again!

    Sorry to post and dash, back from my hols and crazy busy with work (as usual). I'm in this month - thanks maddiemay for starting us off.

    My UUs:

    1/23. La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo 3ml - freebie, fine but too small to see any effects, WNB.

    2/24. Beauticology Spiced Orange Shower Gel 100ml - a gift, smelled great but terrible lather, WNB.

    3/25. L'Occ Verbena Shower Gel 30ml - hotel freebie, nice enough but WNB.

    4/26. Nivea Moisturising Sun Lotion SPF 150 200ml - did the job, WBA but lots stashed.

    5/27. Champneys Citrus Blush Body Lotion 50ml - gorgeous scent, WBA when needed.

    6/28. Sanctuary Intensive Heel Balm 75ml - real LHJ but I liked it, did a great job. Others stashed but WBA.

    Hope to catch up on the thread soon - hope you're all well!

    All a bit slow here, but no INs apart from nail polish:D

    1 TA - 10ml No7 Tinted moisturiser, too dark for my now pasty skin.

    Nails painted Leighton Denny Hello Dolly with accent on ring fingers of Zoya Stevie a lovely glitter from one of the PixieDust collections.

    The lady doing the x-rays on my hands and wrists today complimented me on my funky manicure, although quite subdued it does look pretty and it was nice of her to mention it.:)

    I used to be known for my use of bright, dark or interesting texture nail polish, but as my dexterity problems have increased I have gradually lost confidence in using them, so I hope to do my nails freshly every couple of days working my way through pale and nude ones until my skills improve (fingers crossed:D)

    The colour tattoo eye shadows sound so tempting, I will try and be good and not look at them for a while:eek:

    I'm on a bit of a roll so far this - another 3 UUs today.

    1 x Pantene Breakage defence Shampoo
    1 x Pantene Breakage defence Conditioner
    Not sure if I'd buy again - I'm definetly more a fan of Herbal Essences!

    1 x Mitchum deodorant - WDBA. This is a HG for me - the only deodorant that really works for me!
