Getting ruthless, TA:
Lipcote - horrible and doesn't really work
St.Tropez - Everyday Face tan 50ml – I think this clogs my pores
Pearl Drops - Now Smile Corrector - 5ml - old and not sure I can be bothered with it
Bourjois - Volume Glamour Ultra Curl Mascara - 12ml - Like but the product comes out of the lid and is messy, starting to dry
Rimmel - Stay Matt Pressed Powder 002
Rimmel - Stay Matt Pressed Powder 005
Loreal - Illuminate Pressed Powder 01

I have some uu
Philosophy Shortbread Cookie Shower Gel 500ml - loved this and have more in the stash.
Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter Body Butter 200ml - WMBA, smells lovely but does tend to ball up if I use too much.
Nip & Fab Glycolic Pads - this was a pack of 10 which were free as a trial, I'm not keen on products that make your skin sensitive to the sun so WNB and 10 wasn't really enough to see what benefits they did have.
Avon Free for Her - this was a free sample vial, WNB, I never even smelt it whist wearing it.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Hi everyone,
Argh I've been useless lately haven't been keeping track of ins or outs at all, and definitely being spendy!
Off on holiday later so will be using up a chunk of my samples stash!
Here's a few UU from last few days:
Samples
Terry Serum - WB this was lush but no idea how expensive it is, I am guessing very!!!
Philip Kingsley hair conditioner - WPNB was nice but nothing incredible
Omorovicza ultra moor mud mask - WB if had more money, this is lush, I've never used glam glow but it seems similar to their new blue one
Full size
Mio double buff scrub - WDBA this is pricy but amazing
Khiels body lotion (medium/smaller size) - WBA as above
Lush blackberry bath bomb - WPNB as stained bath and had to clean after
L'Or!al mascara
May have some naughty ins at duty free, also had some naughty ins a while back. Will try to list here:
Lush shampoo bar, conditioner and blackberry bath bomb
L'Or!al mascara
Charlottesville tilbury double ended under eye wand
Collection 2000 waterproof mascara for holiday0 -
I am determined that given some more time that more "stuff" in every category imaginable will leave the house. As I get a little more energy I become more impatient to have a clean, tidy and uncluttered house. The Kon Marie thread on here spurs me on:D as well as you guys on here.:D
Anyhoos from the toiletries stash GA
50ml Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream 1/8
40ml Colour Extreme Temporary Hair Gel Pink 1/9The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
5 L'Occitane sample of Almond body lotion. nice but won't repurchase due to the price.
I also used a sample of Lancôme foundation but not keen. It oxidised on my nose badly around about lunch time.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!

I'm back in this month too, though no PP list, as it's a busy month, and I'm not sure I have the brain power to spare to work one out...
Some UUs so far though:
- Clinique for men face wash (30ml) WNB - nice, would use again if I got it free (as this one), but Clinique do other washes that are better.
- Bioderma Hydrabio serum 3ml sample. WMB - actually very nice, sank in very well, non-irritating, little goes a long way. Possibly a lot cheaper than other serums I like
- Garnier Nutrisse hair dye. WPNBA - only got it this time as it was the only one available in an open shop on Sunday, and I was desperate to do my roots :P Not as nice as Olia.
INs:
- Garnier Nutrisse hair dye above, already used
and a whole bunch of things in a Latest in Beauty box:rotfl:
- MUA Luxe Ombre 3 Shade Shimmer Highlighting Stick
- COLLECTION Speedy Blush Stick
- Wet Brush Detangler
- LADIVAL DNA Repair After Sun
- PALMER'S Coconut Oil Formula™ Coconut Oil Lip Balm SPF15
- NAILS INC Nail Polish in Abbey Road
- GARNIER SkinActive Moisture Bomb Multi-Protecting Hydrating Mist SPF30
- ST. TROPEZ Self Tan Express Bronzing Face Sheet Mask
- EYEKO Sport Waterproof Mascara
- MERCI HANDY Lollipop Hand Cleansing Gel
- GARNIER SkinActive Micellar Cleansing
I've not got a box of any kind in ages, and this was reduced, with loads of things I'll definitely use (I might give away the nail polish).0 -
