    One UU this morning:

    Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Toning Shampoo 400ml WDBA and will. This really helps keep my hair from going brassy. It was a LHJ though.

    Oooh. My NBI of a 700 ml Tresemme shampoo and conditioner was SIX bottles of each.
    Being a qualified functional skills maths tutor has its advantages, it was easy to work out that I will run out of these in August 2023, even if I use nothing else in the meantime.
    I love Tresemme, so I was really pleased to get these but storage will be a bit of a mare. After six months, I am allowed to rehome spares, which I strongly suspect I will be doing.

    That is a huge amount of shampoo.

    I have a uu

    Poppy King Lip Crayon in Smiling - this was a lovely product which I bought for £2 when Boots were selling them off, it is glossy but very long wearing even after drinking, it has it's own sharpener too. It did take a long time to use up and I did get fed up which I do when I'm panning a lip colour, so I am a bit :eek: that I have a brand new one in this colour, a barely used one in this colour that DD gave me and several others in different colours.

    1 more UU : Bath and Body Works Vanilla Coconut foaming handwash. This was lovely. Will purchase more.

    I cut open my bottle of Nivea body lotion this morning and want to finish it before we fly on Sunday morning. Should think I can.
    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!
