[STRIKE] No 7 liquid highlighter [/STRIKE]
Benefit Dallas powder is still ongoing. I actually have new found love for this.
Burts Bees lip balm - can't see any progress.
OPI Spare Me. A French Qyarter mini - am using this every third mani and am seeing a gap at the top of the bottle.
Tiger Balm - MRM keeps moaning about the smell. I need to bring this to work, I think.
PP list:-
[STRIKE]Maybelline Colour Tattoo[/STRIKE]
Smashbox eyeshadow - am using this until I hit pan and will change to a different eyeshadow - still not hit pan!! STILL!!!
LUSH Dirty shave cream
[STRIKE]kind Natured conditioner [/STRIKE]
Batiste travel sized dry shampoo
[STRIKE]Avon Citrus Zing liquid soap/handwash[/STRIKE]
Bumble & Bumble B Straight creme - mini tube
Murad Brightening Toner
[STRIKE]Boots No 7 face wipes[/STRIKE]
ABC Tea Tree body lotion
I think a few things will come to an end together now. The dry shampoo is spraying part air/part product, the tube and bottle of the Bumble & Bumble and ABC have respectively been cut open. The pump bottle within which I decanted the toner is no longer spraying and I am tipping product onto a cotton wool pad.
I have today bouth a new ABC body lotion from QVSell as I can't bear to be without it.
Also, today my Mani and Lola subscription box has arrived and I am thrilled. For £20.00 I have received full sizes of an OPI Nail Envy, OPI lacquer Krona something or other and Zoya nail colour. I also got mini sizes of Jessica Phenomen Oil and Seche Vite top coat, mini OPI nail lacquer remover together with a tube of Essie scrub and a nail file. Think I will be signing up for this.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!

TA
Dior Addict mini
Dior Jadore mini
Both half used and really old, don’t fancy them much
IN
Dove deo x2 half price from Wilkos
Simple face wipes x2 half price from Wilkos0 -
I have some INs from LF box:
BellaPierre Kiss Proof Lip Creme - Incognito
Spectrum of Stars Eyeshadow - Wisteria Shadow
Pixi Glow Booster White Pearl 12 ml
Murad Essential C Day Moisture 10ml
Lab Filorga Time Filler 6ml
Deep Sleep Pillow Spray 5 ml
Initially, I was a bit disappointed with the box but eye shadow and lip gloss together are around £35-40 I think. I wouldn't mind trying the time filler and the other two are basically deluxe samples.
Also bought Oskia Perfect Cleanser and Pure MSM The Beauty Mineral supplement. Both arrived today too. Included in the package was a 10 ml pot of Renaissence Mask and some more samples.ally.0 -
Just UU'ed Institut Arnaud Perle & Caviar Globale Premium Day Cream 50ml. Bought this from TK Maxx a while back and it is actually nice. It has a slight powdery scent and good for cold weather.Probably WNBA though. This was part of a set and only eye cream left now.
Also UU Tata Harper Illuminating Eye Cream. This was in the Caroline Hirons Cult Beauty box. It is expensive (£86). It felt nice on the skin but didn't last very long. I don't think it made a huge difference either. WMBA if there is a good deal.ally.0 -
UU
Bath and Body Works White Citrus Hand Cream 59ml. Light citrus, left the hands soft. Stash will provide more, so need to buy
Tossed
Estee Lauder Sumptuous Mascara GWP size. Dropped it on the floor and replaced it with same from the stash. I like the brush on this one and if the mountain of GWP mascara ever depletes, I'd consider it.0 -
VALM - that sounds like a decent box.
I have some ins, the first ones since September I think.
Burts Bees Lemon Cuticle Butter x 2 - these were being sold off for £1 each at Sainsburys and I really like this, I did have to stop myself buying more like the old me. They did have hand cream and hand salve down to £1 each but they had all gone.
I also got DD 2 400ml bottles of Garnier Micellar Water the combination/sensitive one for £1.50, I got the last two bottles.
I think they are making way for gift sets so worth checking your local store.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

So, the travel sized Batiste has gone. I did have a full sized in the bathroom that I had been using and intended on going back to but found that was also empty this morning. Scavaged in Emma's bedroom and found a can which I'm claiming.
The OPI polish I got in the Mani & Lola box is Krona-logical Order and I'm wearing it today. Lovely brown colour. Not as nice as Espresso Your Style though. Tried the oil last night too.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Two INs to report:
La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml
Ameliorate Transforming Body Lotion 50ml
Moisturiser is a back up ready, and the body lotion is meant to be good for getting rid of bumpy skin.0
