    Happy Easter/Passover!

    Finished a Clinique GWP size 7 day scrub. Always have liked it and have replaced it with a full size because there was a good gwp promotion.

    Funny thing? Now that I'm working dayshift only, I'm actually hitting pan on products that have been sitting there forever! Who would have thought if you use something fairly regularly, it starts to decrease!

    Hello again everyone!

    Another UU: Tresemme Multi Vitamin Shampoo + Conditioner.

    WIBA? Heck yes! My hair loves this so it'sa HG product for me.

    I didn't realise there was conditioner in it already, though. Might explain how nice and soft me hair has been! :D

  • Hmm so I disappeared for a few months but have realised I am in danger of slipping back into old habits when I was browsing cult beauty and filling my basket. Have emptied it and there will be no order of new toiletries coming my way.

    Have bought in some la roche posay suncreams but otherwise have been pretty good at not stocking up. Now to just working on reducing the stash.

    One UU tonight:

    First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser 56.7g WNBA. My face hated this but my hands liked it as a hand wash. It's a bit creamy in texture but it lathers easily. I thought I had more uses of this than I actually did. Glad it's finished though.

    UU Nivea Pearl and Beauty anti-perspirant - WBA. I love this stuff. I have very sensitive skin, but don't have any reaction at all to this.

    I have a uu

    Lancome Hypnose Volume Mascara - this was a GWP size but still lasted at least 3 months. I loved this, it is very, very good, no smudging or flaking, really adds length and oomph to my lashes.

    I also gave DD a new mascara from my stash, she took a Bourjous Volume 1 Second one.

    UU Vaseline Intensive Care Essential Healing body lotion- WBA. I would dearly love to immediately go out and buy another bottle, but I guess I better finish some of the weird body lotions I got for Christmas first!

    Hi everyone. Back from hols and back for this challenge. I had some INs whilst away:-

    YSL Babydoll mascara bought at airport
    Caroline Herrera Good Girl perfume bought in Lanzarote
    Wet & Wild contour powder bought as bronzer in Lanzarote as I didn't pack mine. It's part of a bigger palette.

    My Finish 7 by Summer list:-

    No 7 powder - will need to replace this with something else as this didn't make it home apparently even though the apartment was cleared totally. So will add in a NARS Cruella lip crayon.

    NARS Cruella lip crayon
    MAC eyeshadow Whenever You Call
    No 7 Sugar Mauve lip lacquer
    NYX concealer
    OPI Let Me Bayou a Drink - I also TAed this on holiday as it took three coats to get opacity and I wasn't over enamoured with the colour anyway. Have changed to OPI mini in Big Apple Red.

    [STRIKE]Lorac Pro eyeshadow in Bare
    Tommy Girl [/STRIKE]

    The eyeshadow was finished just before I went away and the fragrance was finished whilst there.

    Will go and find my PP list.
    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!

    OK the only items left on my PP list are my Bumble & Bumble straightening cream and Liz Earle Skin Repair.

    So will add :-

    John Frida conditioner
    L'Occitane Pamplemousse Rhubarb shower gel (50 ml)
    BM Intense Serum Sample size
    Flora Mare Illuminatimg eye cream
    Original Nail Envy
    L'Occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream
    Lush Dirty shave cream
    Lush Mask of Magnaminty.

    Last night I TA a bottle of Pink Nail Envy. Consistency had changed too much.

    Today I UUed the bottle of Banana Boat Aloe Vera gel we took away with us. WDBA.

    I've decided to swap in the following to replace the last two items:-

    Urban Decay Easy Blush
    L'Occitane Jasmine and Bergamot fragrance
