    I decided to treat myself to a manicure as I've never had one before. I have OPI all pale the the chief gel polish on with gold glitter to make it sparkle :). Very nice.

    Some UUs.
    Next Eau du Nude perfume. WBA. I love this perfume, have another in stash to use.
    Nivea lip care stick. Did the job.

    So I'm at 13 out of 46 so far. I don't think I will have many UU for a while now.

    One UU this morning:

    Lush Yummy Mummy 100g WNBA. I hated this, so glad it's gone. It's a very strange scent. Replaced with the REN mini shower gel I have in my stash.

    Laura Mercier Grey Pearl Caviar stick
    Marc Jacobs mini lipstick in colour Jetaime
    MAC Whenever you Call eyeshadow.
    No 7 Translucent pressed powder.
    OPI Mini - at the moment I am using Time for a Napa. Just pulled it out randomly.

    Have hit pan in the translucent powder this morning.

    Am wearing Time for a Napa at the mo but will be repainting my nails tonight with one of my new colours.

    I reported that I have thrown away the Caviar Stick. I'll swap in a Nyx concealer that I am using under my eyes now. It's got a substantial dip going but no pan as yet. I was using it as a base but it was creasing my shadows.

    The Marc Jacobs lipstick has gone. Will probably buy a full size in the US in October. Will switch in a No 7 Lip Lacquer in Sugar Mauve.

    I have a bit of a dip in the Mac eyeshadow.

    I have more pan in the No 7 powder.

    Nail polish seems ok for now but wonder how much more is left considering the last mini lasted one month with continuous use.

    Still have two items left on my PP list. I've not had a chance to finish a pack of wipes as Emma keeps coming home and taking the open ones back with her.

    I have been into Boots again today because the cuticle cream, sponge and illuminator are all wonderful products and I thought I may as well get back ups whilst there's an offer. My make up looked really glowy this morning. Very pleased. Had to order the items as my Boots near work has very little stock. Have let Emma choose a lipstick and will send this to her.
    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!

    15ml Olay Pro-Retinol Eye treatment 4/5
    (discounted by £10 in Boots and my little branch actually had stock:D)

    I have got them to order in the nail and cuticle cream, as others have said oils don't do a thing for my cuticles and the Lush is just too sticky for use in the daytime, also qualified for the free gift, I will GA anything that I am unlikely to use.

    It is quite shocking. At one time I had everything listed in excel with the prices and mine stash came to over £1,000 and that was mostly Avon products :eek:

    I still have mine on a spreadsheet, everything included - what's in use, in stash, make-up, nail polish, I'm not sure I want to admit how much it comes to!!

    I decided to see how much my stash is worth, and :eek:

    I also track how much I spend on toiletries and I'm trying to reduce my spending.

    I have been trying to finish a bottle of OPI Pink Nail Envy however am noticing that whichever polish I put on top is applying streakily and chipping quickly. Have repainted my nails today with original OPI Nail Envy as base and they still look the same. Am wearing the mini lacquer of OPI Time for a Napa and it's looking awful. Will try switching to my Infinite Shine base coat tonight.

    Have been into Boots. Bought another pack of wipes because it would have just been rude not to. Am wearing the GWP eyeshadow today and it is lovely.
