Hello ladies!
Right, two more UUs: Corsodly Daily and Wilkinson's Lilac Shower Creme
WIBA? Yes. The Corsodyl Daily is a HG as mandated by the dentist and the shower gel smelled and felt pretty good and was a clearance bargain snaffled at a mere 50p bottle for 500ml. Result!Please call me 'Pickle'

Have been really naughty and bought the Liz Earle TSV. In my defence I would use all the products in it but at the same time need to make sure I get into the habit of actually cleansing, toning and moisturising to use up what I already have
MRM has bought me one for Christmas. It's a really good deal isn't it? I use all the products xBack 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!

A lot of my UUS seem to be sample sachets - an easy one, but I have quite a few around the house so would like to keep them in my totals. Going to try to use the rest in the stash up, then use any new ones as soon as they come in to avoid clutter.
Sachets/Similar:
Algenist splash pack mask - WMBA this was a lovely overnight mask. Had a much nicer texture than the Origins one I tried which was a similar concept.
Glossier milky jelly cleanser - WBA this is lovely, got the full size to use still.
Colbert MD Intensify skin disc - WNBA so overpriced, hard to judge after one use.
Charlotte Tilbury Magic foundation - WNBA cakey and wore off so unevenly.
Charlotte Tilbury Kim KW lipstick x2 - WNBA colour did not look right on me.
Charlotte Tilbury Nude Kate lipstick x 2 - WNBA fine, but not amazing.
L'oreal Phytoclear shampoo - WNBA not really for my hair/scalp type.
Full sizes:
L'oreal extraordinary clay dry shampoo - WBA, so impressed with this one! Better than many of the expensive ones I've tried IMO.
Philip Kingsley moisture balancing conditioner - WBA if in a TSV set or similar.
INS
Smashbox primer mini - freebie, may well end up using for xmas pressies.

Two foil samples. Stuff in normal rotation, just want them gone.
L'Occitane Shea dry skin handcream. 10 ml size. Using one from the stash, so no need to rebut.
Vichy liftvactiv serum 10 supreme. 3ml sample tube.
Perricone MD face finishing moisturizer. 15ml jar. A favourite, would buy again if the glut ever ends.
Dior regenerateur cellular intense skin boosting super serum. 50ml. Nice, MBA.
I'm in awe of anyone who finishes a lipstick.
Dry skin season has started here and I've tubes of hand cream on the go in every bag. Should really try and only have two open at a time!0 -

I had a Rosemary and Rock rose hand cream and it was not great. However I bought it second hand so it could have been old.

10ml L'Occitane Shea hand cream - I like this and will always repurchase but have others in stash at the moment.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

I think a lot of the Charlotte Tilbury products are totally over hyped. I've seen quite a few negative reviews of the Magic Foundation. I do however have the Colour Chameleon (think that is the name) eye crayon and that is very good apart from the stupid lid.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Two UUs from last night:
Tony Moly Vitality Sheet Mask WMBA. This was nice and if I wanted some to energise my skin, I'd buy this again.
Oral B Satin Tape 25m WDBA and going to. This was nice and it actually gets in between my tight teeth. Trying a different floss for the time being though.
I'm doing well with UUs at the moment0 -

I only own a CT lipgloss called Red Vixen and it's nothing to write home about.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!

Hi everyone,
I've got some UUs!
Nuxe comforting cleansing milk - WDBA I really like this for taking off my makeup, have replaced with an Avene one I also like.
Nip Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads - WBA and did when on offer, so they're back as an IN
Elemis face scrub - WPNBA as I think I prefer gentler powder style scrubs. Currently no scrubs in stash so might add to my mental list.
Neals Yard - Rose and Mallow moisturiser WBA and kind of plan to, although to save money for a bit going to try to UU sachets of random moisturisers I have. Hopefully my skin won't hate me for this. This moisturiser was lovely and light and hydrating, felt like it did something - not too light that it didn't. Suited to all skin types apparently.
Sachets/samples:
Aesop Parsley Seed anti-oxidant hydrator - really like this, would consider buying instead of the above but maybe too soon to tell and probably costs a lot more. I'm always really impressed with Aesop though.0
