    Simple Facial Toner 56 ml. Meh, did the job. Have gallons of micellar water to move through.

    Peter Thomas Roth anti-aging cleansing gel 57 ml. Nice but too expensive to buy full size.

    Marcelle Hydra-C facial exfoliating gel. 100ml. WBA nice to use in the shower.

    Darphin Predermine. 15 ml. Densifying anti wrinkle cream. Just OK came in a beauty bag and won’t bother looking for it.

    2 foil samples.

    It’s freezing here so the hand cream and body lotions are in full rotation.

    Repaintied my finger nails with OPI Spare me a French quarter (had to add thinner last night so not much usage left). Also painted ESSIE a cut above on top.
    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 re-painted my nails last night with Clinique Black Honey, it is just a mini bottle which I've had a while but never used, first time using Clinique nail polish at all, went on really nicely so I will see how it wears.

    The Simple Micellar make up remover with new label design has a faint chemical scent - has anyone else experienced this?

    Also, got a letter from Boots for a product recall of Benefit Gimme Brow gel due to quality issues. Mine was a freebie and I like it so will continue to use but an FYI for others.

    Uu a pack of Superdrug cotton wool pads. These were the regular sized ones but I prefer the bigger ones. Have probably enough left to last me this week then will need to repurchase.

    I had to toss my bottle last night. Had used it for the first time last month. Good coverage, looked good for several days. Was a keeper.

    Then last night I unscrewed the top and the brush part stayed in the bottle! Fiddled for ages but couldn’t get the brush to fit into the cap to become usable.

    It was part of a black honey set, came with a mascara, and two lip products.

    Liked it but won’t pay Clinique prices for nail polish

    wondercollie - I don't think I would pay Clinique prices for nail polish either, what a pain about yours I hope that isn't common.

    I have a uu

    Softlips Aloe Lipbalm - WBA, these last ages, are thin so you can apply without it going everywhere and they stay on the lips a long time. I have replaced it with a Vanilla one.

    It seems that my laptop needs a new hard drive, our local people are going to deal with it and see how much stuff they can recover from the old one, so I need to keep on with my paper list or learn how to use this tablet better:j:j

    In
    15 ml Merumaya eye cream 1/57
    100ml Aveda style prep 2/58. My fine hair (luckily have quite a lot of it) is being pesky and everything I have seems to weigh it down and make it limp, so bit the bullet for the expensive Aveda and will get rid of all the offending stuff which has proven a false economy.

    • Garnier Ultimate Blends Strength Restorer Serum, WMBA, have a a few more smoothing serums/oils to use up first so I'll see how I like those.

    • Philip Kingsley Elasticizer WNBA, didn't see any difference
    No more goo hoarding!

    A few INs to report:

    SVR Topialyse Cleansing Gel 50ml
    SVR Physiopure Pure and Mild Cleansing Micellar Water 75ml
    SVR Hydraliane Light Intense Moisturising Cream 10ml
    SVR Topialyse Emollient Cream 10ml
    SVR Topialyse Palpebral Irritated Eyelids Anti-itching Soothing Cream 1ml
    Noreva Sensidiane Micellar Milk Cleanser 500ml
    Noreva Norevane 3D Anti-Ageing Day Cream 5ml


    I made an order for my favourite cleanser which ran out. And I'm so glad to have it back in my life. I love it. And I bought a SVR travel kit, to try a few more of their products.
