    One LE C&P tube finished and replaced from one from the stash. using again,
    One L'Occ Jasmine & Bergamot hand cream on its very, very last legs. Lovely scent but not rich enough so WPNBA even if they still made it.

    Um. I may have bought more perfume. I own my own naughtiness.

    Two ins from freebies from a hotel in Durham, North Carolina:

    Burt Bees lip salve
    Burt Bees hand cream


    UUs:

    Colgate whitening mouthwash.

    Bobbi Brown hydration face tonic sample: WMB, cleanses skin without being too drying.

    Sainsbury's Oracare+ sensitive whitening toothpaste: WBA, decent copy of a leading brand and doesn't have an over bearing taste to it like some toothpastes.

    Ralph Lauren Red polo perfume sample: WNB, did not realise it was a male scent until I first tried it and it was very heavy. Was ok and seemed to last longer than normal female scents.

    UU Flutter hand cream - this was 29p in the Superdrug January sale. I bought eight tubes and am very glad I did as it was pretty good.

    TA Avene Cold Cream Lip Cream - WNBA. Felt lovely when I put it on, but after a while my lips started to feel dry and sore. It took a couple of days of my usual lip balm to get back to normal. Not sure what on earth is in it as this brand is supposed to be good for sensitive skin.

    SOLD - I had a big declutter and sold around 50 products on eBay - hurrah! 40 of them were nail polishes and it was a bit shocking to see how many bottles I had of near-identical shades. I was ashamed of how much money I wasted especially as I don't even wear it every day! I now have a collection of around 15 bottles and will not buy any more until those are used up.

    Two UUs tonight:

    The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% 30ml WNBA. I stopped using this on my face as it was too sticky after I applied it, and it would cause other products to pill off my skin. Used this on my arms to help lighten old scars and it did help. I'm interested to try different Vitamin C Serum options.

    Lush Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar WDBA. I love this Bubble Bar, it's my favourite scent from Lush.

    One UU this morning:

    GUM ActiVital Mouthwash 30ml WNBA. This had an odd taste to it. Sort of a medicinal taste to it. The toothpaste is the same so I'm trying to use it up quickly.

    2 more UUs:-

    75ml Boots Extracts Mango body wash. Emma took this away with her and then left it at home so I have finished it.

    15ml Elemis PCMC. HG product. Am going to take inventory either tonight or tomorrow and I pretty much think this is the only product that I have stockpiled since January.

    I did get a sample of the Pro Collagen Overnight Matrix cream and it is gorgeous. Will purchase this when all my night creams have gone, for sure.
    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!

    One IN today:

    Oral B Satin Tape 25m

    Sort of necessary as I'm nearing the end of my current one.

    One UU tonight:

    Bio Beaute by Nuxe Anti Pollution Gentle Exfoliating Gel sample WNB. This was way too rough for mexample, so glad I tested it on my arms first. It did emulsify nicely, so I may try their Cleansing Gel to Milk they have.
