BirdNerdSophie - I know what you mean about the animal testing. I do try to stay away from some products I know who do testing i.e. Avon but it's so hard to know everyone who is involved in this. I do feel strongly about it but I don't feel strongly enough to investigate absolutely everything I want to buy and then feel guilty about it because I don't have the time to do this. I've only just bought this misceller water and I really like it but what is the one you've replaced it with and is it good? If so, then I may change this and then I'll feel like I have a small victory!
I'm very careful about what I buy as I'm Vegan. I find super drug own very good for the basics. Only thing I haven't really found that I like is a tooth paste. Let me know if you have any queriesMy debt free diary

Lou85 - I know what you mean, it is so hard to keep up with who is doing what, but when I find out about a particular brand I know I have bought in the past, I do try to stay away from them where possible! I'm currently using the Superdrug B. Micellar Water as none of their own brand products are tested on animals and so far I'm happy with it (although I don't use it to take of make up as I don;t wear any, I just use it as a cleanse).
rdone - I use the Sainsburys Whitening Toothpaste - I'm not 100% sure if it's vegan but it isn't tested on animals and is a very good price!0 -
VALM, I have the UD Gwen Stefani blush palette. I am fair in complexion, think Mont Blanc by NARS.
The UD blushers are super pigmented, so you will probably be able to build up the colours. I literally just dab my blusher brush in the blush and that's plenty for me, anything more than that and it's too dark on my complexion. Do you have a Debenhams close to you? The Debenhams near me in Exeter has an UD counter and I was able to swatch the palette and see if I liked it before I asked for it for my birthday.
The first blush called Cherry is quite a baby pink, so I don't know if that would suit a more medium complexion, but the rest of the colours would I'm sure. Angel is a gorgeous soft gold/champagne highlighter, Lo-Fi is more of a matte bronzer on me. OC is a nice peachy blush. Hush I use as a shimmery peachy/pink blush, but could also be used as a blush topper.
I don't want to say definitely get it, cos it's a lot of money to spend and it not do anything for you, but I feel like it would be ok for you. Unfortunately I've never been anything but pale, so I can't be 100% sure!!
Thanks so much. I'll have to wait until it's back in stock any way but in any case I have dropped very big hints to Emma that I'd like it for Mother's Day so will also wait until after Sunday anyway. I know that I had a look at it in Selfridges and really liked the colours so should be ok. Like you say, it's a lot of money. xBack 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!

Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

Hello everyone! I've taken part before but I've been slacking these last few months and I've acquired quite a lot over the holiday season. I'm looking to get back on track with a March project pan. I'm going to London in a few days so I may treat myself to some Nyx lip creams/glosses as I haven't been able to find them in any local boots stores. I also need a new shampoo but that's all I will allow myself to buy this month.

First UU this month, chucked it as I couldn't get anymore out. Could have cut the tube but I wanted to start a sensodyne one as I've had sore teeth.
Tesco pro formula sensitive toothpaste- WMBA I'm really annoyed because I love this and it's a great price but unfortunately my teeth only stop hurting/sensitivity when I use sensodyne (I hate the taste and price of sensodyne but I can't stand my teeth stinging if I don't use it!). This was a 1/2 used one that I'd started ages ago and I decided to use it up before I started a new pack of sensodyne. I really like the taste of this but sadly my teeth don't get on with anything other than sensodyneNo Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2015/2016/2017/2018
