    I went to Superdrug yesterday and bought a pencil sharpener and body lotion. My sharpener had become blunt however I need one now for my Benefit Kapow pencil. Bought a bottle of Vaseline Aloe lotion. Whilst I have lotions in my stash they correspond to shower gel in stash and I want to use those together. Have a huge bottle of Liz Earle body wash on the go at the moment. My current Avon Cocoa body lotion has hit pan.
    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!

    Trilogy Rosehip Moisturiser. WBA. Love this stuff, but onto my Ren next.

    Avon Care Cocoa body lotion. Too thin for Autumn.

    2 necessary INs:
    - Olia hair dye. HG, bought two as on offer, will use one tomorrow.

    And a few OUTs:
    - 3 x sachets Lancome Genefique serum. WMB - like it every time I try it, but it's soooo expensive.
    - Batiste mini. WBA - does the job, and I use the mini ones a lot for travelling (and keeping in my locker at work :))
    - skyn Hydro-cool firming face gel for forehead. WNB - it was ok, but not sure it did anything. Wouldn't pay the price.
    - Elemis frangipani monoi body oil, small size. WDBA - loooooove this, my HG body oil, though I only get on offer (or as pressies) as it's so expensive.

    So updated PP list:

    - [STRIKE]Clinique Clarifying lotion[/STRIKE]

    So I have prepared a small birthday gift for a friend so I have 4 GAs from makeup stash. I also UU'd Prep'N'Glow Cloth tonight. This was from LF beauty box and it is a nice idea but it is not something I'd buy probably. It would be good for travelling I suppose.

    I have a uu

    Philip Kingsley Moisture Balancing Shampool 1L - I like this but there are other much cheaper shampoos I like too so WNBA although I think I may have another this size in the stash. Saying I think I might have a massive 1L bottle gives you some idea of the stash size:eek:.

    I have sold quite a lot of items on ebay this month and made a small profit too and there are still some listed.

    Sephora was in the UK once before wasn't it? I'm sure that's where I bought a Clarins lipstick way back in the 2000s....
