    First UU of December:

    Cowshed Grumpy Cow Shower Gel. WBA. Lovely wake up shower gel.

    I love this but it is so expensive and I've never found it on any really good offers.

    Some updates :

    UU : OPI Spare me a French Quarter - tried applying last night and only got enough Polish out to paint 3 fingers in total so counting it as done. Wearing OPI Sending you Holiday Hugs which I think is a dupe for A Ruby for Rudolph that I used to love. Will be panning OPI minis in the New Year.

    Dallas blush still hanging on. Have now started applying to the perimeter of my face in an attempt to use more.

    Don't know whether to give up on the Tiger Balm.

    Have made more of an effort with the lip balm now it's colder.

    Exciting news though. I have the tiniest pin !!!!! of pan on my eyeshadow. Will keep it going til Christmas I think to get more progress but for this challenge it's done.

    The next thing I'll finish I think is the nail polish remover. Only one application left I think.

    Yesterday I hit pan on my Bobbi Brown Taupe eyeshadow, still going to last forever though.

    I have a sort of uu

    Smashbox 3D Stay Sharp Eyeliner in Sparks - WNBA, I loved the colour but the whole thing is a pain, the lid sharpens it everytime so loads is wasted plus I prefer a slightly blunt eyeliner for smudginess I've decided. Today the point fell off after one eye and the packaging doesn't wind up or down so I've had to throw it away, I'm not sure whether it's done or not. One to be avoided.

    I have a uu

    Garnier Aftersun with Aloe Vera 400ml - this has been hanging around for ages so I used it as body lotion which it essentially is. WMBA, I generally like Garnier body lotion and this was no exception.

    One UU this morning:

    SVR Hydraliane Light Intense Moisturising Cream 10ml WPNBA as a full size. It was light and similar to my normal moisturiser, but it's way too fragranced for me to use. I tested this on my neck for a week or so, and it was alright.

    Two NBI INs today:

    Mon Guerlain Perfume sample
    Valentino Uomo Perfume sample


    I've already got a sample of the Mon Guerlain, it's lovely, but the Valentino Uomo smells divine. I ordered some perfume for my mum's Christmas presents and these two samples came with it :)

    I have 2 use ups:D

    NIOD CAIS 3/103
    15ml Margaret Dabbs Cuticle Serum 4/104

    In both cases I WBA and in fact have replacements at the ready.

  • Tossed: a Victoria Secret eyeshadow. I bought it years ago in Vegas. Can't remember why I thought glittery, mint green roller ball eyeshadow was a good idea. I think I thought it was an eyeliner from the shape of the bottle!

    UU:

    Nivea Body Milk/Lotion in the blue bottle. 250 mls. I love Nivea but was fed up of this by the end. Will buy Nivea again but not this size.

    Perricone MD Face Finish cream. 15ml size. I like this but not the price. I'm using a full size jar that I got in a beauty sampler bags years ago. It's lost the rose scent but doesn't smell off!

    I bought it with gift vouchers as a treat, it is expensive as a regular buy unfortunately :o

    A UU : Boots nail polish remover. Have had problems with my nails this week. Had to take the red colour off the next day as it chipped badly. I'd omitted top coat. Repaintied my nails yesterday using OPI Deutschland You Want me Baby. Only noticed when I got to work that one nail was complete smudged off. Have TA this bottle as it was difficult to apply in the first place. Today will wear Don't Pretzel my Buttons.
    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!
