    2 more UUs and probably the last this month:-

    Travel sized L'Occitane shampoo. I have really missed this. Am hoping I can find some on offer at Cheshire Oaks today.

    Benefit Goofproof eyebrow pencil. Have another in stock. Will return to using the Avon one once this is done.
    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!

  • Had lots of UU today:

    Olay Vanilla Cashmere Shaving Gel WDBA. HG.
    Herbal Essences Bee Strong Conditioner WDBA but i like to rotate my shampoo's and conditioners.
    Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Face Mask WPNBA. Average, i've others i prefer more.
    Nivea Extra Gentle Eye Make Up Remover WNBA. I prefer using a micellar water to remove everything
    Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm WBA. Nothing special but does the job
    Boots Baby essential cotton wool rounds WDBA. Cheaper than the ones in the beauty aisle and exactly the same.
    Sanctuary Silky Smooth Body Lotion 75ml WMBA. There is still a bit of product in there that won't come out without it being cut open, and i don't care enough to do that!

    One TA:
    Burts Bees Lip Balm This has gone off, smells awful, a bit like smoke!

    My PP list is looking like this:
    Nivea Eye makeup remover
    Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm
    Michael Kors Wonderlust EDP
    Clarins Water Purify One Step Cleanser
    -Clinique Face Wash
    -Elvive Anti Frizz Hair Serum

    I think the other two should be gone by the end of the month.

    Well ladies I was good yesterday and did not buy anything at Cheshire Oaks for me at least. Bought Emma a bottle of MAC foundation and a lip liner.

    L'Occitane had my shampoo in Stick but was a two bottle kit and I'd prefer an eco bag.

    Finally I finished something else from my PP list:

    Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm 4.8g WPNBA but it was nice. If I was stuck and needed a lip balm that didn't have any mineral oil or petroleum in it, this would be it.

    It's a slow month. I think that's partly because some of my almost used ups are spread between various bags. Have a few products with tiny amounts left so hoping to have a last minute flurry. Here's my latest use up:

    UU
    Ogx Argan Oil of Morocco Conditioner 88.7ml - I love Ogx conditioners so I wasn't disappointed with this. WDBA. I'll probably get another Ogx mini for the next travels I make.

    Two UUs this evening:

    La Roche Posay Serozinc 50ml WPNBA. If I use this on my full face, it irritates my skin. But if I use it on targeted areas, it does help. I've got another little tin to use.

    Paula's Choice Resist Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA sample WMBA but let's see how I react to this first. One of the ingredients concerns me but I'm not having any adverse reactions so far.

    Est!e e Lauder gentle eye makeup remover. 100 ml. Did the job. Continuing to work my way through gwp bottles

    Est!e e Lauder time zone. 15 ml. Had SPF, didn't smell bad. Loads more in the stash.
    Simple refreshing face wash. 150 ml. Would buy again as I like a foaming wash in the morning.

    Th eyeshadow situation remains unchanged. I envy those of you who seem to hit pan on a regular basis!
