    Hugs to you kadison, sorry to hear that your friends are being a bit rubbish. The last 2 years I have gone away on holiday for my birthday, so buying more toiletries is probably cheaper lol

    Thank you, though actually a lot more RSVP'd yes at the last minute, so we had a decent turn-out in the end! :beer:
    Here's my latest update:-
    Quite a few GAs as I tried some of the boots range and wasn't all that impressed (I'm used to higher quality stuff) so I've decided to donate it, I have one complete set that will go to the charity shop and the rest will go to the local refuge. I've also sorted through and donated a few other things that I won't use or don't like.

    GA
    Boots Body Lotion 100ml - Citrus Pop x 2
    Boots Body Lotion 100ml - Gold Together x 2
    Boots Body Lotion 100ml - So Wonderful x 2
    Boots Body Lotion 100ml - Sugared Dreams x 2

    Max Factor Eyeshadow Quad - Hypnotic Jade 40 - Only swatched, too matte.
    Regenerate Advanced Toothpaste 14ml
    Soap & Glory Bright & Beautiful Radiance-Boosting Mask 29g x 2 - I tried a sachet and it was horrible, far too small and really icky to hold!

    Tigi Bed Head Fully Loaded Volume Shampoo 10ml
    TRESemm! Volume & Lift Firm Hold Hairspray 250ml - Made my scalp itch!
    Versace Eros Comfort Aftershave Balm 25ml, Versace Eros Eau de Toilette 5ml & Versace Eros Shower Gel 25ml - Part of a free gift, donated to the Other Half!

    TA - as above, I've found sheet masks don't fit my face plus I loathe the feel of them, I'll stick to the tube type! I will say however that the S&G one was much thinner and ripped easily compared to the Avon one.
    Avon Anew Essential Youth Maximising Sheet Mask
    Soap & Glory Bright & Beautiful Radiance-Boosting Mask 29g

    UU : John Freda Frizz Ease shampoo. Replaced by the Mane and Tail bottle.

    I am going to have to use my Luz Earle Skin relief as foot cream. I think it's gone off. Will be opening my last night cream later which is an 8ml tub of L'Occitane Divine cream. I'll then be on the hunt for a reasonably priced tub of Elemis Overnight Matrix cream.

    I may have to TA another nail colour but I don't want to. It's OPI Got a Date To Knight. Tried to apply it yesterday and it was ok but wouldn't dry! I thought maybe my Nail Envy was affecting it so tried re-applying with OPI IS base coat but still didn't work. Will try putting some thinner in today.
    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!

    TA

    Yesterday I threw out two felt eyeliners which had lost pigment. I have quite a make-up collection so anything that reduces it is great.

    UU - 2

    Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner 90ml - A mini conditioner I took on holiday which lasted for a wee while afterwards. I love Aussie products so WDBA.

    Johnson's Daily Essentials Gentle Make-up Remover 100ml - I thought this didn't work but I was using it incorrectly (make sure you shake the bottle before use) - it worked really well removing my eye make-up. I WMBA as I prefer to use one general products than separate ones for eyes and face.

    Have a few almost UU so I hope to have more UU to add by the end of the month.

    Last UUs for the month:

    Superdrug charcoal whitening toothpaste toothpaste WNBA, bought into the hype. Didn't see a noticeable difference and didn't feel like it really cleaned my teeth until I bought a powerful toothbrush. I have another in the stash to use up.

    Sainsburys nail polish remover acetone free WNBA, not really effective in removing even simple top base.

    Aussie moisture conditioner WMBA, didn't test it long enough to see if it made a difference to my curls.

    Clairol roots touch up black WBA, better than the superdrug version. Alot better at colouring the greys I have.

    TA Superdrug roots cover up - had half a bottle left but it had dried up.

    Ins, most unfortunately as a result of a laser hair removal session:

    Savlon healing advanced gel
    Heliocare advanced spf 50 sunscreen
    Sudocrem
    Skin ceuticals retexturing activator sample

    One UU today and it's from my PP list:

    Mixa SOS Repair Hand Cream 50ml WMBA but I'm not so sure. This was nice, similar ingredients wise and texture wise to the LRP Cicaplast hand cream. Going to replace with a hand cream from my stash.
