    I will catch up with all posts later on but I should report some UUs before I forget about them.

    Elizabeth Arden 8 hour hand cream, 30 ml. Nice enough but WNBA, I didn't like the after use feeling. I rarely like anything from 8-hour series anyway.

    Smashbox Make up fixing water, mini. I like this and got a good use out of it despite its' small size. I might buy a full size later on but I have a Clarins one to UU first.

    Smashbox Photo finish primer, mini.
    Again I liked it and used every day for around a month. I have some benefit minis and Max factor one to UU before buying a new one. MBA later on.

    Clarins foot treatment cream sample. Lovely scent and texture. Not sure I'd solely pay for it though. There are other very nice ones for half the price. Also, this felt like a standard body cream/butter. I'd rather pay for something for "specialist".

    I think I will include my supplements in this challenge too. While not all of them are beauty related, I do use a fair amount of them and need to be better at using them. I have around 10 different bottles around the house.

    Have a good week everyone.

    Really love that colour got the mini in the Opi Advent calendar

    I was really looking forward to trying this but when I did my nails were a lot shorter. Today it looks better but I've applied ESSIE A Cut Above on top.
    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!

    Some colours just don't look good when ypur nails are short, its quite odd.

    Another couple of UU's today:

    9. Liz Earle Eyebright - WNB - was a present and seemed to last forever. Nice enough but ended up using as a toner.
    10. Oral B toothpaste mini - WB - used up the remainder from my hols. Still have soooo much toothpaste in my stash. Why did I keep stocking up on it!?!

    UU

    Dr Organic Manuka Honey Skin Lotion 30ml - Used this up after my bath today. I really liked this moisturiser. My skin felt very soft after using it and I liked the subtle scent. WDBA in a bigger size.
    The Body Shop Berry Bliss Bath Fizzer 28g - This was smelled lovely. WMBA. Had some of these as stocking fillers but forgot about them so will use up as a I go instead.
