As predicted, the handcream is finished. I like this but now much prefer the Bath and Body Works ones. I now have three handcreams: Liz Earle Lavender and Rock Rosemary (?) which is a full sized pump that I've been working on at work but have now brought home, a tub of Cuccio hand butter and Bath & Body Works Be Amazing tube. I pulled the Cuccio one out to take to work and having tried it once think it's going to be a PITA. It's very sloppy and in a tub so isn't going to be a quick on the go application. Also not keen on the fragrance. Think I will put this in the bathroom and use it as a body butter along with the Boots Extracts Mango body wash that Emma left behind. I'll then return the LE one to work and keep the B&BW in my handbag. My aim though is to only own one at a time to keep in my handbag for use at home and away.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

My Finish 7 by Summer list:-
NARS Cruella lip crayon
MAC eyeshadow Whenever You Call
[STRIKE]No 7 Sugar Mauve lip lacquer[/STRIKE]
NYX concealer
OPI Apartment for Two
Urban Decay Easy Blush
L'Occitane Jasmine & Bergamot fragrance
This remains the same although the pan has expanded in my shadow and in the concealer. I'm now using it as a shadow primer in an attempt to move through it quicker.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Finally, an IN to report. My HG Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser has arrived. Let's see if I notice a difference in my make up at lunch today. There was a code in Marie Claire for £10.00 at elemis.com so pleased that I got this for £13.50.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Two UUs this morning and both from my PP list:
Bioderma Atoderm Huile de Douche 200ml WDBA. This was nice. I loved how gentle this was, and my skin wasn't dry at all after a shower. I'll definitely get another bottle for autumn/winter/spring.
REN Neroli and Grapefruit Body Cream 50ml WBA. This was nice and moisturising. I loved the scent. I may get a full size when I buy a full size of the matching body wash. Which won't be for a while yet.0 -
I have a uu
Soap & Glory Butter Yourself Moisture Lotion 500ml - what a pain this was, this is a body butter not a lotion and it is in a pump bottle, about 1/3 of the way through it stops pumping having just made a tunnel down the middle. I had to hack it open and cover it with clingfilm to use it. WNBA for that reason but the actual product is lovely.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

UU: Cuccio hand butter. This was only a small tub (maybe 50ml) and I used it twice as an all over body butter. Still not fond of the consistency and fragrance but it's gone.
I think I'm going to take inventory next week as we have past the first quarter of the year and see how things are moving. Am quite optimistic. xBack for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
