    Here to log my last UU (not many this month). No recent INs.

    Superdrug Cocoa Butter & Vanilla Body Lotion 200ml - I really liked this. Would definitely buy this and others lotions/butters again from Superdrug. Still plenty of lotions in stash to go!

    No7 Extravagant Volume Waterproof Mascara 9ml - A good mascara mini. Got a few other mini make-up things so will work through those.

    I threw out a Maybelline Dream Mousse Foundation (was over 10 years old and no longer like this kind of formulation). I also gave away the rest of an Original Source shower gel and a bottle of talcum powder.

    UU
    Garnier intensive 7days lotion, aloe vera, 400ml, shared with OH.

    I think that’s me done for the month. Started with 133 ended with 133. That’s two months in a row of no progress. :( Gonna have to mix things up next month!

    My last UU of the month : Lush Cream Egg. This was gorgeous.

    I went into Manchester yesterday and bought absolutely nothing beauty related though I did enjoy wandering the beauty departments on my own. Bought the pair of shoes that I needed for work and that was it (oh and a Starbucks).

    I will be making an order to the UK stockist I've found who sells Bath & Body Works products. I am using a shower gel and shea butter body lotion in the fragrance Magic in the Air. I've cut the tube of body lotion open but have about 2/3rds of the shower gel left so am going to replace the body lotion. As free shipping is applied on a spend of £30.00, I'm going to order a new candle, handcream and handwash in readiness.
    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!
