    Two UUs this morning:

    Sensodyne Repair & Protect Whitening Toothpaste 75ml WDBA. I enjoyed this. Sensodyne is one of the only brands I can find that don't have SLS in them. It irritates my mouth so much, but this was perfect. Replaced with a tube of the normal Repair & Protect toothpaste.

    Lush Christingle Body Conditioner sample WDBA. I love this stuff. I might try and grab some if Lush do a Boxing Day sale this year. I would love to try the Snow Fairy version as well :)

    update on 5 by christmas:
    I finished two more! Wahoo!
    [STRIKE]Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation[/STRIKE] - done!!!!
    [STRIKE]Mac Mineralise Skin Finish Natural[/STRIKE] - done!!
    [STRIKE]YSL Babydoll Mascara [/STRIKE]
    Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Intime - seems to have gone walkabouts, will finish it if/when I find it!
    Redken Extreme Anti Snap Cream - unlikely to finish this, it seems to be never ending

    have avoided buying anything more, although I have a sneaking suspicion that OH has been buying a lot of the make up bargains for xmas.. we shall see!
    UUS
    Pureology strength shampoo - WMB if good price
    Aussie Winter Miracle conditioner - WDBA, love aussie. Think its v. good for the price
    L'oreal Coconut hair balm/masque - WMBA quite liked this, smelt lovely.
    Body Shop Berries shower gel - WNBA not my fave BS scent and limited edition anyway

    I found the Christingle too cold to use in Winter. I may have a look at the Boxing Day sale for some bubble bars. Will probably shop online but it was a bit of a catastrophe last year.
    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!

    Went to Boots today and bought nail polish remover and cotton wool pads. Also finished a pack of cotton wool pads.

    It's alright in winter, I prefer it in summer, I just wanted to UU the sample they give me.

    Their sale is always a mess, and I said I wouldn't do it this year, but I've fallen back in love with Lush and I want to try and get some bubble bars. I sat for hours last year trying to get through. It will be the same this year.

    More UU for December

    195ml Elemis Omega-Rich Cleansing Oil 6/106
    50ml Nivea Cream 7/107

    I hopefully will have another 4 or 5 things finished by the end of the month, but a couple of items are being extremely economical, good thing really I guess:D

    UU
    The Body Shop Passion Fruit Shower Gel 250ml
    - This lasted 2-3 months. I still manage to make shower gels last a long time even though I shower every day. Have replaced with a Lush shower gel (about a third left).
    Boots Traditional Skin Care Moisturising Cream 200ml - I was impressed with this. I got it for only £1.50 on clearance and it lasted months. It's thick and softened my skin without being greasy (I have combination skin). WDBA. Replaced with Boots Cucumber Moisturising Cream tub.
    OGX Reviving Awapuhi Ginger Conditioner 385ml - I love this brand. This was 80p on clearance in Superdrug so it was a good deal. Lasted months although I used it on and off with other stuff. Have replaced with another from stash.

    1 away from 100! If I can make it to three figures, will be happy with that as it's been a slow year on the toiletries front. I can probably squeeze in one or two UU by the end of the year!
