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!

1 UU, Soap and Glory Clean on Me, WNBA, again, something I usually get for xmas. I think I'm going to try and make do with soap rather than buy another shower gel until xmas. I'm fairly positive I'll get a shower gel in a set for xmas.No more goo hoarding!

I’ve had a good run through some minis recently, which is great, as I also bought the M&S advent calendar
I bought a pair of shoes I’ve been wanting for months, and had a sparks offer for 20% off those, so nothing unnecessary to get the calendar. And It’s the only one I’m getting!
UUs
- Clarins Double Serum x 6 sachets. WNB – ok, nothing special, and a bit fiddly
- Clarins Super Restorative remodelling serum 3ml. WMB – my skin drank this in, it really seemed to appreciate it. Not sure if it’s actually made a difference, but would consider buying a full size for a longer test if there was a good offer…
- Clarins Toning Lotion 10ml. WNB – nothing great above other toners
- REN Evercalm day cream 15ml. WNB – have used better, though it was fine
- Helena Rubenstein Powercell youth grafter eye cream 5ml. WMB – very impressed by this. Little went a long way, no irritation, and in a test against other eye creams, was clearly better at handling fine lines (I use 2 creams at the moment – one on each eye, and swap out the worst for something else after a couple of weeks if there’s a clear difference). Not cheap though, and not easy to get hold of...
- Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield 5ml. WNB – have used better, and it had a faint odd smell
- Clinique Even Better Glow Foundation 10day sample. WMB – loved this! It went a really long way, probably lasted me 20days, and the finish was lovely and natural, while still reasonable coverage. And it lasted so well through the day. Debating whether this or Beyond Perfecting is my fave – something that was a mix of the two would probably be perfect
I’m now completely out of toner :eek: I’m doing without it for a while, and using up a micellar water instead to see what it does to my skin. And I’m almost out of eye creams, which is a bit of a shock. Nice to see progress and a neater cupboard though0
