    UU
    Montagne Jeunesse Passion Peel-Off 10ml - I managed to make this last about 4 uses so it was good value for money. It was easier to remove than some of the peel-off masks. However WNBA as I prefer mud masks now. I've got one mask sachet left then can finally start using up the tube ones.

    1 more UU to take off my PP

    Simple night cream - WMBA, it did the job, but wasn't as rich as others I've used in the past so didn't feel as good on my skin - if that makes sense?

    Ooo I'm keen to know how you get on with these more long term they are on my mental wish list!!


    I'm not using the Niacinamide & Zinc regularly but they have helped in the few times I've used them, I've tested them a few times on some blemishes on my skin, and it's really helped reduce them. I'm patch testing the Natural Moisturising Factors and it's good so far. It's really helping my skin atm. I'll let you know more once I've done two weeks of patch testing.

    One IN:
    Simple KTS Refreshing Facial Wash Gel My staple cleanser. I'm nearing the end and I won't have chance to go and purchase more when it runs out so I popped into the chemist's before work and got some.

    Eeeek, I'm so behind! Sorry, work has been crazy, plus moving house, and a friends hen weekend away have meant no time.

    I've got quite a few ins to confess to at some point :o but need to find them all to write up properly.

    So I'll start with my UUs for now:
    - travel bottles of shampoo and conditioner - decanted from other bottles, more excited about binning the awful bottles than anything else - got them from Primark, really stiff and hard (oooh err!) to use.
    - 1 small pack of simple cleansing wipes. WNB - fine but not special. Was a freebie.
    - 1 pack Boots cucumber wipes. WMBA - cheap and work.
    - Tigi Dumb Blonde Reconstructor (conditioner) 750ml. WDBA - HG, fortunately already have another bottle ;)
    - Toni&Guy Damage repair conditioner. WNBA. Was ok, but not as good as my HG - hair felt softer and better as soon as I switched back.
    - Nivea invisible mini deodorant. WDBA - my normal purchase for travelling, works and smells nice.
    - Kiehls midnight recovery concentrate (4ml sample). WNB - really nice, but not worth the high cost.
    - Clinique for men exfoliating tonic (mini 30ml). WMB - but have my normal version (clarifying lotion) already bought. Would happily buy the 'mens' version again if it was a better deal though :)
    - Roger&Gallet Gingembre Rouge Energising Sorbet Body Lotion. Loooove this, but never buy it for myself, I just ask for it as pressies, as it's pretty pricey ;) Have another bottle in the cupboard, but using other things first.
    - Decleor Or Excellence youth eye care 5ml. WNB. Was pleasant enough, but didn't do much for me.
    - Lancome Genefique serum mini. WNB. Always happy to use a sample, but wouldn't pay full price. It is really nice though.
    - Vita Liberata self tanning night moisture mask 10ml. WMB. This was great! Sinks in really nicely, moisturises well, and has given me a nice very natural tan (I've been soooooo white recently!). Very impressed.

    And 2 TAs:
    - No7 Stay Perfect instant tan lotion - didn't apply well to any skin other than my hands, which instantly went orange, grrr. And washes off, so not really what I'm looking for. Got it on sale - and now I know why!
    - Aldi deodorant - just didn't work!

    Another UU yesterday - the conditioner from my recent hair dye kit. I think it was the L'Oreal one. Love this colour and will repurchase.
    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!
