    I have a TA

    BalmBalm Rose Geranium Balm - I have kept this too long, it is all organic and has formed a thick skin on the top and smells of paint stripper or something now. It's a shame as I had another pot of this which I used and really liked and I've had a couple of Figs & Rouge Balms go the same way. My own fault though.

    and a uu

    Head & Shoulders Apple Fresh Shampoo 400ml - this was DD's and she liked it, I have replaced it with the L'oreal anti dandruff clay shampoo I think it is. WBA.

    Did a bit more makeup decluttering today and got rid of:

    No7 Nude Lipliner - this is not nude it is orange, I have tried and tried to like it but don't so have binned it.

    Bare Minerals Shine On Palette - this had a highlighter, a two tone pink shadow and a dark matte purple shadow, two applicators, eye primer, eye liner and lipgloss. The dark purple shadow has mould on it (this has happened with other bare minerals shadows I have had but not other brands), I did like the two shadows but hated the highlighter, the applicators were rubbish, the eyeliner I have in use, the eye primer and lip gloss were used up a long time ago.

    2 UU and 4 ins to report!

    The UUs first:

    TBS tea tree exfoliating facial wash 100ml- WMBA this was fine, did the job but I wish the scrubby bits were a little "scrubbier" I didn't think there was enough exfoliating bits. It had a pleasant smell but didn't do a lot for my skin in terms of helping my acne - I thought thus would help but my skin is no better for using it. Still fine as a general face wash, dont think I'll go out to buy it especially but might get again if I do a body shop order in future and it's on a decent offer. Replaced it with along came Betty face wash and scrub minis.

    Silverlene Medicated talcum powder- WBA this was fine, did the job well and has lasted for nearly 2 years believe it or not - just kept going!! Used it for all sorts - all over after showers and baths, in my socks, to freshen my trainers. Will pick this up again if I ever see it again! I've got some more medicated talcum powder somewhere but I think it's been boxed up for moving house. I've got a small lush silky underwear that I can use in the meantime though until I find that. Can always get another talc when I'm next shopping, it's cheap enough. Don't want to waste my expensive lush stuff for making trainers feet etc smell nice but the lush stuff will be fab for my body after showering as it smells lovely.

    I've put a small boots extracts coconut body scrub in shower to replace the sanctuary one I finished the other day.

    I also have some ins:

    Lush r&b hair treatment 100g
    Lush strawberry twin tub shower jelly
    2 samples (can't remember but think 1 was shampoo and 1 was toner)

    Needed some r&b but haven't been into town for ages, can't justify fuel & parking just for that. I had a sample and it worked wonders on my hair plus fell in love with the smell! So to make postage worthwhile I ordered the jelly with it. I think r&b is becoming my new HG hair product, it's brilliant. Expensive, but worth it for how much my hair loves it.

    So I went to the Trafford Centre last night with the intention of only buying a new top. Wandered through the Cosmetics Hall. I'll just have a look at the Too Faced palettes I said. Ooh yes they are lovely I thought with no compulsion to buy. Gazed at the OPI stand and again felt no quickening of breath or lightness of being. Turned around and found myself in front of the Laura Geller stand which I have never seen there before. So I came away with a tube of the Oil Mattifying Spackle Primer. Did feel giddy trying it on the back of my hand or that could have been the wine! Got a top too so quite a nice night.

    Have just repainted my nails and am wearing OPI Lost on Lombard.
    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!
